 Double attraction tomorrow. Wa terbury here for two games, the first being called at 2:30 o'clock.
 The Orators have lost three of their last half dozen games by one run, two of the contests going for extra in nings. The fans may well now say hard luck"
 The Orators demonstrated yesterday that with good working pitcher they can play baseball. Tommy Kane is all right, and will do.
 There is a. wrangle on at present over Jimmy Savage of the Hartford club, the young man who broke up the game yesterday. The New York Americans want Tim, but Owner iClarkin will not part with the ex-Villanova captain as he claims he paid $500 for him.
 Manager Clarkin of Hartford yester- day sent check for s15O to President Tracy of the. league to cover the fines levied in the game against Holyoke and a s5 fine tackled against Wadleigh. All the tributes with the exception of the fines of Wadleigh and F1ouroy have been paid under protest.
 Bill Yale, Bill Luby, Hack Schuman. Mason of New Britain. Old Dr. Bum van, Cy McPartlin. Jerry ConneH and Hi Ladd are favorites all over the cir ,cuit- These players get a good hand wherever they go.
 Louis Padrone, one of the Cubans who was on the Hanna staff last sea- son has been signed by President

 Eddie HaveI has at last received the blue ticket from Manager Bone of the New Haven nine. Bone considers. the day lost in which he does not sign or release player.
 It is rumored around the circuit that Pitcher Lindaman of the Boston Ma tionals is to be traded to Holyoke for Captain Mccormack.
 Pitcher Reilly has been released by Manager Hanna with the understand ing that he will report next Spring. Reilly needs experience.
 s'Kid" Kocher got back into the game yesterday after a days rest. The Kid injured one of the digits on his throw ing hand in the double header with Hartford on Tuesday. Bunyan was sent in to do relief work against Hol- yoke.
 Although the Orators did not hit the ball very hard yesterday, their swats came in just where they were needed. Hits came when Steinhauser was on the station, while Kane's double sack CT could not have come at a better time.
 It was quite funny yesterday to hear the fans yell for Pollard to be sent in to bat for Kane in the eighth in ing. Kane had pulled away from every ball pitched to him on his two former trips to the bat, striking out each tune. On this occasion he waded into the pellet.
 whitmeyer, the new pitcher just se- cured from the Reading Atlantic League club was on the bench yester- day. He was due to pitch against Holyoke this afternoon. He will be used in the first game tomorrow against Waterbury Reilly, the other pitcher recommended by Freddie Gibbs was also on hand warning up- He is a big strapping felldw and looks the part.
 All the State leagues say that Man ager Jim has a fine player in Sweeney the new second baseman secured from the Reading club. Sweeney has been wired transportation and will report to-day.
 Hack Schuman will probably go against the Orators this afternoon and the big fellow will endeavor to keep up his record against O'Rourkes tribe Hack has it on many of the teams and it is long shot that he will beat Bridgeport.-Hartford Times. Hack" has seen his best days at Newfield
 W. J. Tracy, president of the Con- necticut league has written Boss Winkler, of Holyoke, as follows: Al low me to congratulate you and the of the Holyoke baseball club for the gentlemanly way you are con- ducting yourselves. It is pleasure to think there is one club in the league that is not continually nagging the um- pires. It goes to show that it is not necessary to adopt rowdy tactics to be successful. Furthermore, I believe if you continue on these lines, you will be at the top of the ladder when the gong sounds"
