Dennie Hayes of the Norwich baseball
team Of the new Connecticut Baseball
association as he scanned a pile OF
letters that clogged his desk at the To-
cal headquarters. The manager was
engaged in the task of whiting them
down to a working basis, but from the
recommendations he was reading Ii
looked as if he had to pick from the
greatest aggregation of bat breakers,
fly chasers and hot shot handlers that
had ever been assembled under one
canvas The whole Atlantic seaboard
from Maine to Florida contributed the
phenoms who wished to wear a~big N
on their shirts for the coming sum-
mer.
But the local fans who have been
wondering what were the prospects for
a Norwich team may cheer UP and take
hope. It is actually in the works, and
the long list of men wanting tryout
has been sliced down to about tw enty
who will be given a chance to make
good The contracts for half q dozen
or more are already in the mails and
by the end of the week there will
probably be a Norwich team to talk
about Then it will be up to the fans
to say whether 1t will all stop with
talk or whether they viii give it the
support that a league team to repre-
sent the city deserves.

WAGNER PROVED HIS eAMENEss
Work in Detroit Series Rebuked His
critfes-Said He Fknehed Against
Boston.

There has been a report that wae-
ner is yellow which in baseball is
the cardinal sin, meaning that he is
not game The evidence to back up
this charge is 1ac11fng entirely, but it
started because of one of the real
tragedies of Wa&ner's cancer" writes
Hugh Fullerton in the American Mag
azine.
"Pittsburg had won the champion
ship of the National league and Was
battling with Boston for the WORD 3
championship. Three out of the nrst
four games were won by Pittsburs;
strain, weakened. and Boston by a
magnificent squirt won all the other
games and the coveted flag.
Tn the deciding gaane Wagner fam
was leading by two runs. His error
gave Boston the victory, and Wagner
was the most broseH man in -he
team. Even some Of his fellows charg-
ed he had shown the white feather,
but Wagner in his grief said wouldn't
mind it for myself-but the boys de-
served to win
Last fall Wagner at last had his
opportunity to rebuke his critics. When
finally Pittsburg had won the Natl pnal
league championship and came to face
Detroit in the series for the highest
honors in baseball many even of Wag-
ner's admirers said The Dutchnfan will
quit In that heart breaking series,
pitted against Cobb, the American
league hero, Wagner atoned for the
loss of the Boston series and gave per-
haps the greatest exhibition of indi-
vidua1 batting and fielding ever seer
He was machine, and there was a
chance to judge his range on two pla VS.
that came one after another In the
third game OF the series. Both were
hard hit ground balls that reached the
line between second and third perhaps
in one and a half seconds. One went
just out of Byrne's reach, perhaps IL
ering about 81 feet of ground, travel
ing to his right and outward, ffelded
it and threw his man out. The next
went straight over second base, and
Wagner, travelling probably 40 feet,
reached that one back~-of the bag and
retired the runner.
The manner in which Pittsburg
scored four victories and most of their
runs in the seven games grew almost
monotonOus in it's certainty, and it is
small wonder that the thing got on the
nerves Of the Tiger pitchers The great
majority of Pittsburg's runs were made
their winning rallies show the same
process: Byrne reached first mostly
on a base on balls; then Leach pulled
the Detroit infieM out of natural posi-
ton by pretending he would sacrifice,
and instead of bunting he sRSlbed the
ball bard past the fnfie1der, who was
a bunt-
"Clarke followed, and IL he failed
Wagner walked. to the plate, took a
unging swing at the bah and the runs
came home. Wagner was demonsfrat-
ing bis ganeness"
