FLASHES FROM THE FIELD
DANDY DIAMOND DOINGS
In Holyoke to-day.

In Holyoke to-day.
The Orators found things to their
liking with the Ponies.
Bourquin made his first error OF the
season yesterday. The young fielder
has been going along in fine style.
The slugging Ponies could not con-
meet With Pollard. The Glastonbury
boy has the curves and will be heard
from many more times before the sea-
son is much more advanced.
We are now tied for second place
with fIclyoke and New Britain After
to-day's game we ought to be the un-
disputed holders as Holyoke is easy
while New Britain is playing in Hart
ford.
Hi Ladd was there with the trusty
furniture. yesterday. slamning out two
of the locals six hits. Bannon's and
Pollard's liners were good for two
sacks apiece,
Yale lost to Brown yesterday at New
Haven in fast game AZ. Van Week
passed three men in the fourth inning
which with two errors and a wild
throw gave the Providence boys the
game.
Another baseball war appears posi-
BILE to close followers of the game.
This belief is given color by the an
nouncement of the National Commits
sion that the revised National agree
ment, as framed up to suit the Ameri-
can association and the Eastern league
has been abrogated through the failure
of these two leagues to sign the in
strument within the time limit set.
Johnny Evers. the crack second base
man of the Chicago Cubs was yester-
day suspended by the National Com
mission for failing to report to his
team at the opening of the season.
.Dode'' Criss of ST. Louis who led the
American league in batting last season
has been suspended by Ban Johnson.

ASPHALT BLOCK
ON KEARNY We.

An ordinance to pave Kearny ave-
nue. from Market to Lewis streets with
asphalt block was introduced and pass
ed on its first reading at an adjourned
meeting of the Board of Aldermen last
night. The council recently advertised
for bids for sheet asphalt on the street,
but none were submitted AS many Of
the property owners on the streets bad
previously petitioned for asphalt block,
the aldermen decided, when no sheet
bids came in, to use the blocks and in
structed the clerk to publish a notice
of intention.
At the regular meeting Monday
night, despite the fact that the notice
of intention for asphalt block had been
published number of the property
owners submitted petition asking the
council to re-advertise for bids for
sheet asphalt and extend the time for
the completion of the work to 100 days.
One of the aldermen remarked Monday
night that he did not believe that the
property owners on the street knew
what they wanted and that if the mat
ter was changed again the street might
not be paved this year.
The council has decided to pave the
street with asphalt block and the mat
ter will be put through without further
delay.
