 It is rumored that Tommy Corcoran, the greatest short-stop that Cincin- nati ever had is to cover that position for New Haven. The fans in that town are beginning to demand the withdrawal of Ambos, who has played all season.
 Acting president Heydler of the Ma
 tional league has disallowed the pro- test of the Brooklyn team of the Pitts burg game of May 10 which the lat ter won to 5. Manager Lumley Of Brooklyn protested this game on the
 ground that Wagner of Pittsburg stepped across the plate to hit at a
 ball. There were two on for Pittsburg
 in the ninth, with Brooklyn leading 5 to 4. Wagner was at the bat and
 the signal was given to allow him his base on balls. Three wide ones had already been pitched when Honus on
 the fourth which was equally as wide stepped across the pan and stuck his stick into the sphere. The result was a three bagger and the game for the P1-
 rates.
 First Baseman Bowers and Pitcher Barnicle have received information from the Holyoke club that they are
 not to draw any more from $he treas ury of that organization. Manager
 Mccormack intends to try out Duggan at first. Duggan was on that bag for New Haven last year, but if memory
 serves right he was a frost. He has been tried out as a pitcher and out
 fielder by the Papermakers but has
 not made good.
 Frank Beaumont, now with the Hol-
 yoke team, is laid up with an injured right wing. Did you ever see Frank
