BUSY BOWERS,

Big crowds over in the Casino last evening saw Waterbury trim the Bridgeports, taking all three games handily. And the great Jimmy Watt was in the game for the visitors too, but he started off poorly and he could not make up the margin. Musante started also in the first game and his bowling was so off color that Banks was substituted in the last two games, and he did better work. Our bowlers were in great form, Neal bowling the highest single with q mark of 24I and also the highest total with 635. Beardsley came in second on the to- tals, with Lewis of the Bridgeport team third The following were the scores:

- NEW HAVEN
 WAS FOOLED Expected to Have an Easy Time Defeating Hartford But Got
 It Herself.

Here is how they speak of that game down in New Haven that they were so dead sure of winning:
 "With the score 1 to } against us, we opened the last period bound to win. We started all right. Bone caged the ball in about two minutes of play. But right after that Lincoln, who seemed to be the whole thing at shooting goals, slipped one into the pocket in such q quick and easy style that we hardly realized what had happened. Mullen didn't know the ball was in the cage. After that it was all up. Hartford danced on our shirt fronts until we felt like 30 cents all spent.
 While the visitors saw they had us and then to rub it in harder they got together and rushed the ball into the cage four times in about nine minutes.
 Sutherland played q .crack-a-jack game. His performance at the cage was enough\to make one sit up and take notice. Then again the playing of K. Hart was feature. Coggeshall was always on the job and made some remarkable stops.
 As for New Haven, the boys did not play bad game. They worked hard, but as previously stated when Bone rushed the ball to the goal, and Mccarthy shot for the cage, out would come Big Sutherland's foot and the ball would bound across the rink. Then We hit every corner of the cage, over the cage and every place but the right place.
 During the struggle there were four players slightly injured. Bone and Coggeshall came together in q head on collision in the first part of l the game. Then Saunders got another crack in the abdomen. Wiley was hit | on the wrist with a polo stick and was obliged to retire" The lineup and summary.

Some fans were talking last night it was the general opinion that a feat of Emil Fosters held the rec ord. You could never tell whether Foster was going to slide or jump over a baseman. In one game he tried to jump oyer a baseman, but landed on his back. He stood there and the baseman couldn't touch him with the ball. Foster jumped off, got his base and laughed. This made the baseman so mad that he threw the ball at Foster but didn't hit him and the runner made third on the play.

Powers said that negotiations had been completed between the owners of the Montreal and Trenton clubs for the purchase. but that the scheme had been blocked by the refusal of the Fri state league clubs to sanction the transferring Of Trenton to the East ern league. The Trenton club was in the Tristate league last season and therefore subject to the control of the National Association Of Minor Leagues.

NO MANAGER CHOSEN YET
Cincinnati Floating Along Without a Manager and so Many Want
 It--0ther News.

Having given up all hope of secur- ing Roger Bresnahan to manage tue Cincinnati Reds this year, Garry Hermann is now trying his best to secure Tommy Leach from the Pitts burg club. Leach, who is wintering in Cincinnati, says he IS anxious to handle Herrmann's team and that he is tired of the Smoky city. Barney Dreyfuss, the owner of the Pittsburg club, who has never believed ir strengthening rival clubs unless he is financially interested in them, does not care to turn Leach over to Gin cinnati, and that means that unless Hermann offers to put up a big bun dle of cash there will be nothing doing. Hermann, according to con- petent critics, made a serious mis- take when he did not secure George Stallings to manage his team. Stal- lirigs would have been an excellent substitute for Ned Hanlon and waa willing to take d chance with the Yorktown. hammer throwers But Hermann listened to the friendly tip offered by Dreyfuss and Stallings was turned down. It is Gurmised that Barney feared that Stallings would make good. It is said that at the last moment Hermann begged Hanlon to remain in charge Of the team, but that the latter said he did not care to mix up further with the many self-appointed managers in the Cincinnati grand stand. In the meantime what has become of Harry Durant. Roger Bresnahan, Bower man and the others who were spoken of for the position?

There was funny decision made years ago in the Northwestern league in a game between Peoria and Quincy. A long fly was hit in the left field and the left fielder got on top of the fence and caught the ball. The umpire would not allow the out. saying the ball was out of the field. The Peoria team. which suffered from the decision. left the field and would not finish the game. After a man made a play like that he deserved credit, but did not get it from the umpire, although every one at the game was with the Peoria team.
