 President Tracy has announced that he has raised the suspension of Catch CT Schincel of the Waterbury Club.
 who wss suspended for striking Um- pire Murray. two weeks ago. If Schin- eel is not guilty it is good news. but if it is the contrary. it certainly is black eye to rowdyism, as it has all ready cost the player about $200. It is believed that Tracy changed his opinion because of the over exagger- ated report of Umpire Murray, who claimed that Schincel struck him, and then later had a change of mind, say ing that he was not sure it was Her man.
 pension comes the release of Umpire Murray, by Chief Kennedy. Paul Steinberg, who had been engaged some time, has arrived and will begin his duties to-day. It was agreed at the beginning of the season that when Steinberg arrived Murray should go. Murray may be kept around as sub, as at present there is no place for n1m- lie uSeQ 10 De SOmeWnaC OI q player himself. playing second for Georgetown. until his whip gave out.
 President Tracy makes it plain that there will be no letting down of the bars on rowdyism and that the umpires will be fully protected The previous good reputation of Schincel: the fact that the umpire did not care to press the charge: because Waterbury needed a catcher: and because of the com mandatory words of Secretary ORourke is given as the reason for the reinstatement of the unlucky Her man.
 It will be welcome news to the local fans that Bill Yale has been placed as captain of the Northampton nine. Bill Is always in the game. and no doubt will get the best work out of the men.
 The league leaders, with colors fly ing, will be the guests of the Orators tomorrow afternoon. at Newheld park. On their former appearance here they trimmed the locals 10-5. Getting the biggest part of their runs on a bungle. Probably Manager Connery will send Chic Evans in against us, in an en- deavor to make another record. as 1t is quite noticeable that when Chic de- sires to make record Bridgeport is selected as the goat. The game will be worth attending anyway.

Foundea on Herring Bone..

Dutch monopoly of the North sea fishing grounds during the seveuteenth century brought such wealth and pros perity to Amsterdam that the capital of Holland was popularly said to be founded on herring bones. No Iees than 5000 Hollanders were directly engaged In fishing the coasts from near Yarmouth to as far ncrtA as ths Shetlands, and 1Eo,o0o more were em- ployed. indirectly, in the dtstrihutlou and sale of the fish. Sir Walter Raleigh pointed out to James I. how the Dutch sold to the Yarmouth herring uonGexs fish caught in their own seas for Nng- lish gold, with which they buik an nually a thousand ships and nshiu9 boats

Clabby Favorite Over Quill

Special from United Press.)
 Boston, May 1S.-Jimnie Clabby, the clever western boy, will step into the ring tonight a favorite over Tommy Quill for their 12 round bout here. The K- O. sign on Clabby's record and particularly his proven ability to stay with Billy Gardner for 10 hard rounds make the sports figure that he is a probable winner over Quill. The lat ter, however, can go hard and fast but is a little shy on the punch. The mill is expected to be a rattling one from the first gong.
