Hospital Game Late in August.

Through a letter received from the Middletown asylum baseball manage ment, Manager J. A. Farrell of the state hospital team has learned that there is not much chance of the Mid dletown and Norwich hospital teams playing off their rubber game of the series before the latter part of August. It will probably be the last Thursday of the month.
 The Hospitals game for Saturday is with the An-Stars and will be the con cluding game of their series for the amateur championship of the city. Each team has won a game. The Hos pital battery will probably be Bill Austin pitcher and Frank Harrington catcher.

DUFF TO REPLACE M'INTYRE.
Paddy Will Likely Get "SIim's" Job at
 First Base for Fall River.

It looks as if .Slim"/McIntyre of this city is to lose his job playing first base for the Fall River team, which is now in second place in the New England league. The Fall River Herald said on Wednesday night:
 Manager O'Brien has ordered Paddy Duff a former New England leaguer. to report to the local club at once. Duff has been mana ging a mill league team in Rhode Island this season. His home is in Providence. He has played the first sack for HaVerhill, Lawrence and Lowell. He is a seasoned player and although never especially strong with the willow. he can be relied upon to deliver the inside baseball stuff at critical stages. Manager O'Brien wired Duff to report at Lawrence today. Me Intyre will probably be dropped.

BASEBALL IS ALL RIGHT. Nothing Wrong With the Game, Nt Matter What the kickers Say

Thinkers with baseball law are try ing to change the game so that bat ting might increase. Various sugges- tions have been made, some of them worthy and some of them absurd.
 One writer goes far to say that return to the old style in which the batsman asks for a high ball, low ball or any kind of ball he desires might solve the so-called problem. This writer was not trying to be hu- morous, but was dead serious, which reflects some of the absurdities one occasionally encounters in baseball literature
 In all the mass of suggestions to promote batting, nobody has pointed out how present day baseball was so disgustingly unsatisfactory that it ought to be changed at all.
 Would a fan like an IS to game better than a 2 to 1 contest? What is wrong with modern baseball?
 The people want lots of hitting, they answer How do they know they do? Do the men who go out to games eV- cry day want to see two and a half hours of aimless slugging? Possibly the man who sees one game a year would like to see a quarter season of hitting on the one day he enriches the others. who go regularly and are the backbone and support of the game?
 To take drastic legislation to in-
 
 game. It would be taking a step back ward. It would put inferior managers on footing with the competent man. agers.
 Nobody ever hears the Macks Jen- nings, McGraws Clarkes and Chances making wall about the lack of hit ting. These shrewd managers are al- ways able to gather about them a number of men who are able to worry a pitcher once in a while. Look a the Collinses. Murphys, Bakers, DaVises Cobbs, Crawfords Doyles, Bridwells Wagners Leaches, Millers, TinIkers and Holmans. They are not thinking much about the pre- eminence of the pitcher. sa
 The same g it is played today can not be i'm proved. It is a battle of wits with enc team trying desperately to outguess the other and the opponent equally on the alert to know what is going on.
 Tn the game today a hit has some meaning. We are sure to see a con- test and not IS men in a rough wit ers today are good. That is a fact Walsh is carded to perform. you can generally take it for granted that you will see high-clas work in the box.
 But there is plenty of good solid hitting all the time.
 There is no need to return to old cat or town ball. The sport is satis- factory to the majority of persons that support the game today, eVeQ if some superannuated writers, always barking about the glorious past, want to go back to the seventies.

M1ddletown, July 27.-Basebau on MiddIetowns mid-week half-holidSa,v proved great success today. as a crowd of about 800 was on hand to see the home team meet and defeat WlIl1mantic, to 1. Despite the con siderable difference in the score the game was closely played MiddIetovn winning by finding Lefty Smith for hits at the proper time. Because of the complaints of pitcher Smith at the way ODonnel1 was catching him. there was a shift of positions between the WilImantic catcher and first bas man about the middle of the game
 Nichols, the Willimantic second baseman, was hit in the elbow with pitched ball in the first time up. re- tiring from the game, but coming in again in the ninth when he batted for Harris. Both, teams found fault and wrangled over the decisions of Umpire Edgarton. The score:

Mayors Court.

Mayor Clay conducted a criminal
matinee Monday night, when he had
before him more than the usual amount
of business to dispose Of The cases
consisted of plain DRINKS DRINKS and
disorderly, idIing and lettering, and
cases against mirors for entering pool
room, as we'll as one against the pool
room manager.
The total number of cases tried was
fifteen, resulting in twelve convictions,
and in three of the cases the defend
ants were discharged.
The fines imposed averaged about five
dollars and costs, netting quite little
sum to aid in keeping the city's ma
chinery running.
