Schedule Of the Connecticut Base
Ball League Was Adopted
Yesterday.

| post-season series two weeks long,
with all the first division clubs fight
ing for a purse of 5000, was the new
wrinkle which the Connecticut
league managers sprang yesterday
afternoon. The novelty was unani-
mously voted. The four clubs who
lead the league in final standing will
meet in post-series in which each
of the quartette will play the other
three clubs four games and the win
ner of the most games will take the
purse. The gross receipts will be
divided by the managers OF the
clubs, but the players will divide the
$500 purse and they will get their
regular salary for the two weeks
additional service as well as the
purse.
The schedule gives Holyoke and
Springfield games every "Wednesday
in July and August because of the
clerks half holiday on those days.
1t gives New Haven every Friday i'll
July and August at home and gives
that team six Saturdays in the two
months. There are two double
headers in each city.
The mileage of each club of tie
league is lightened fully 1000 miles
during the season because of the
dropping of New London and Nor
WITCH and the installation of New
Britain and Meriden in their places.
This is about one-eighth of the total
league mileage of each club an
nually.
The only teams who will have TO
pay hotel bills out of town are Hol-
yoke, Springfield and Bridgeport.
All the other teams will be able 10
get home every night of the season.
Cornelius J. Danaher, the New
Haven owner, made his farewell bow
in the league yesterday, and the oC-
casion was a love feast as far as he
was concerned. He and his old
rival, Jim O'Rourke, the league Sec
rotary, were warm and friendly To
each other throughout and each
wished each other the best of every
thing when they parted.
Mr. Danaher brought into the first
league meeting they ever attended
DR. Bert DAILY and G. j. Weiden-
heimer, the new owners of the New
Haven club, and introduced them.
He said TO the league directors that
they have purchased the New Haven
club and they were installed as the
formal owners. They have made
half payment for the club and will
be voted the franchise by the league
as soon as they make the other pay
ment.
Quite few deals were talked
over by the magnates. Dan O'Neii
of Springfield and Manager O'Rourke
of Bridgeport are talking over
swap of Burns, the Springfield in
fielder, for Beaumont, the Bridge
port catcher, and negotiations we're
conducted yesterday afternoon which
make the deal extremely probable.
Bunyan of New Haven is wanted by
Charley Humphrey, the New Britain
manager, for first base. This shift
is likely to so through soon.
