}LfYE BASE ] BALL TIPS,
Tn Northampton today.

In Northampton today.
 Holyoke and Springfield will be en- tertained before the Orators return home.
 It's shame the way Bridgeport has been losing those one run games: Two on Saturday is enough to break the spirit of any club.
 The New Haven Palladium suggests that all the Orators need is a new captain, and names John Bunyan for the place. At present Hi Ladd is the captain.
 Sweeney, the new second baseman showed up Saturday and played a good game. He did not make slip up in either contest, and connected for a sacrifice and a single in the Second- Yesterday against Detroit he also had a single.
 Eddie Bridges, who is to become a big leaguer says that the lea&ue has not the first class twirlers it had in keys, Pete Wilson or Red Walters" says Eddie. The real classy men of the circuit now are Fisher. Evans and Schuman of Hartford and Bannister of Waterbury.
 Big league scouts from PittSburg and the Boston Nationals were in at tendance at the BridgepOrt-New Brl- tain games Saturday, to observe the work of Almeida, Mason, McCabe and Hit. It is stated that Boston may land the first two players.
 Fans at the New York-Pittsburg game on Friday were amazed while Wagner was at the bat, to see that player after swinging at a widely pitched ball, to drop his bat quickly and to place both hands to his body in the region of his heart, and start for the bench. Doctors examined the great batsman and saw that the mus cles of his left side had been strain ed.
 The explanation of Bridgeport's be- ing in last place can be figured out when it is seen that the Orators are last in batting and seventh in field ing.
 Hacks" DeLave of the Meadow Larks was the handy man in the games against Springfield Saturday. ''Tacks'' pitched and won the first contest for his club. In the second game he started to play right field, but was called in to relieve Pitcher Plank after the second inning. The Ponies got after ''Tacks'' though they could not hit in the first encounter, and he was relieved by Goldie Bowler. Hacks" then went behind the bat, Eddie Bridges going to second. Four positions in A league game is a good record for a days work

 Bridgeport Brass vs. Warner Bros.
 The league leaders and the Singers played the best game of the day, the former winning out with a score oG 2-1. The victory was due to the pitch ing Of Frank White, the Yost's crack twirler, who let the Singers down with three hits, two of which came in the fourth inning. counting for the losers lone tally. The Yosts on the other hand hit Wells with effectiveness but could not bunch the bingles. It ap- pared that Young Wells worked much better when the men were on the bases In the field some of the most sensational plays were pulled off Yosts were charged with but one error that being a muffed fly by Johnson after a long run. The feature catch of the day was by Johnson in the eighth session, with two down White walked two batters. Howard Dunbar lined what looked like a soarer over Johnson's head. It looked good to bring in the two men on the bases, but Johnson got under the sphere and cast gloom into the hearts of the Sing CTS supporters.

 The American & British nine kept up their winning streak Saturday by trouncing the Crane No. ? team rather harshly out on Crane Field. Frask Muliigan started to pitch for the Cranes proving easy for the Gunmah- CTS. He was relieved by Nick Carter. who was just as easy. George JakeI again showed his worth in the box allowing seven scattered hits. The score:

A steamboat from New York, the

Up to that time the water had been
as smooth as a sea Of ice, and five
frolicking girls had ventured out on
it in the moonlight.
The waves overturned their boat.
Instantly they were shrieking and
struggling.
Ida Lewis, from her eyrie at the
south end of the harbor. on a cluster
of rocks, saw the girls danger and
jumped into her lifeboat, the Rescue.
With bravery and vigor remark
able in woman Of nearly three score

one after another lifted them into her
boat. She described her feat most
