 Here's hoping the hoodoo will be re- | moved today.
 ven tomorrow. The White Wings are right on our heels.
 Waterbury is slumping badly. The | impetus started by the Mechanics has continued till today when the Finne- gans are resting in fourth place, and
 being crowded by the Ponies. He's back in the league again. Who? l Dan O,Neil Owner Hanna of the. New Britain club announced yester- | day that he had disposed of his inter O'Neil, who won pennant for spring field two seasons ago, and for HolyOke back in 1903. The selling of the club signifies that New Britain will be on stand for a loser. One of O'Neilss first acts will be to take Manager Joe Connor from first base and place him
 behind the bat, and get a new guard ian of the getaway sack.
 The news of the selling of the Per fectos has been hailed with great deal of satisfaction around the circuit. It was often hinted that Hanna was. being stung by his players, that they | WOULD nOI WOfF, TOT nm. IHoT0 ndVS been internal dissensions between the
 players and their owners, which ac-' | counts for their poor showing. If there is any good in the men left, | O'Nen will be sure to get it out of | them.
 The sale of the New Britain team
 was the quickest on record. O'Neil went to the Hanlp grounds with a
 check made out for s3.50O, but not ing at the gate with Gil Edwards and l Hanna, O'Neil said, ''I'll give you $3,- | 800 for your club Billy" Done"

 signing of the receipt was but a mo- ment's work.
 l Pitcher Hagerdon, whom the New l York Americans promised to turn over
 to Manager McCann at the beginning
 of the season, but whom they held for | a while to pitchtheir Sunday games
 day. While with the Yankees. Hager- don did good work. McCann was aft
 CT Hagerdon before he went with the Yankees, but Scout Arthur Irwin beat
 him to it, and signed him up for the Highlanders. Hagerdon was over on | the field yesterday and looked the part
 of good pitcher. He is of good size, and according to Manager McCann
 ought to burn up the league" The Athletics could not pass that 13
 mark. After running in to that num- 1 Der of straight victories. they met up
 with the Tigers yesterday losing 14-2. The Hartford Courant refers to Man ager Connaughton and Old Man Mo Partlin of the Finnegans as the Methu- l selahs of the diamond. It states that | if these two ancients look up their old | contracts they will find that the en- l yelopeS are stamped with three-cent- CTS. It is many years ago since the city reduced the postage from three to I two cents.
 1 Old Scout Haley Comet goes down
 in baseball history as one of the great
 est pitchers of the day. AS it is un-
 derstood the old scout shut out the
 earth without a hit. Goke) 1 Bobby Stowe is getting to be quite
 a favorite around the circuit. The To- cal boys work has been the sensation | of the year.-New Haven Register. | There was a moist play at American
 League Park Monday. Ford was l pitching a spitball and Lake. at bat, 1 flied to ChanneH.-New York Mail l George Bannon who covered left l garden for the Orators last season, and
 who when Manager McCann took over | the reins of the local club was traded | to Altoona of the Tri-State League for 1 Outfielder Boilers. has been released | by that club. George will not find it hard to land a job.
 1 Owner Cameron of New Haven has l purchased the release of Outfielder Cough from the Cleveland Americans. 1 Eddie Farley. who was the crack pitcher on the Waterbury club until | he injured his arm, has been signed up ' by Northampton.
 l Manager McCann should give his coachers a few lessons in how to watch 1 the plays. Two runs were lost yester- | day on weird playing.
 Captain Eley is complaining of l bum left leg. He limped in running | the paths yesterday. He cid not show l much lameness in the first inning when he dashed after Fosters drive,
 which was sailing to the right field fence.
 | Joe Kustus should have been credit | ed with three hits yesterday. but a lit | tie bone-head base running robbed him of the count. Joe has been leaning up
