manager does not believe in keeping a $500 man on the bench. As Bill has always graced that class, he will keep himself in the game. Edwards is to be congratulated on getting Bill as his leader.
 In Holyoke, Treasurer winkler, who really is the manager and dictator of the clubs affairs, will have to 2 st busy and sign up manager or place one of misfts with the club at the present time in that berth. Manager Mccormick last season was drafted by the Boston Americans, and according to the latest advices, has been farmed to the American association. HolyOke like Bridgeport has been keeping quiet during the present lay off, but since the local club has been sold, there has been big gap placed between them.
 Coming back to Bridgeport, Gene McCann, the peerless leader of the minors will lead the ex-Orators unto the front. Things have been in such a state Bridgeportwise, that the fans will welcome team that will win majority of it's games. McCann as- sures the boys that he will even do better than that, but does not prom ise any pennants. McCann brings ex- periences gained as a player with the big leagues, as a manager in the Eas- tern league, and his 6 knowledge of players, having been a scout for the New York Americans. Without doubt, and without throwing any bou- quets at the new manager, McCann ought to prove the best mana ger ever a way with the big league clubs to get the players and promises that if they are to be gotten that he will have his choice. What better inducements could be offered for a club in the Park City.
 {v, patch of Jack Teller. Last season he had a team of players, but what he did with them is another story. The cry went out that he did not treat them as did their former manager Dan O'Neill, but that is not far reaching enough vail to make excuses for the showing of his club. Jack got in wrong at the start when he disposed of Bill Yale to Northampton and then tried to cover first base himself The Pony fans never forgave him for this blunder. The team under his regime went from bad to worse, finishing bad, the more ignominy, as they were the champs of 190S Jack has been on the field early this season, but will have to set a strong pace to collect team. He has lost number of men by grad uation to the majors, while others equally good he has traded off in ex- change for good men in some places, but-Well, the pest we can OIIer you Jack is good luck.
 Tom Connery, the Adonis of the Con- necticut league, will again be the lead- CT of the Senators. Tom is an ex- pert in this line the showing he made with his weak hitting Hartford crew showing his metal Yes. he had the pitchers with him, but still they have to have a team behind them. Tom wes well aided by his owner Clarkin, who spent the money for the players when he saw that his team needed the strenethening.' Tom was in the game every minute, encouraging and kidding his players, which is the greatest as- set any manager can have. With Con- nery in Hartford and McCann in this city there ought to be some of the old fire works about the circuit.

Nothnagle's New Factory.

This week the Nothnagle store is advertising for upholstering and re- pair work. This is something they have not advertised for in several I years, on account of the great rush of new work, and their formerly some what cramped condition. They have now moved into their new factory, where every modern facility is at hand to turn out this kind of work This will please many people who are familiar with the class of work and quality of material this store furnish es. For almost thirty years they have made about all the new parlor furni- ture sold in their warerooms This being the only store in town carrying any quantity of handmade upholster- ed furniture, they have long been swamped with work in this depart ment. Large additions have also been made in the warerooms on the corner of Main street and Fairfield avenue which will be given to better display all kinds of furniture, carpets, rugs, draperies and the famous Gle 1wood ranges. See advertisement on last page.

SAVAGE MAY PLAY HERE

Manager Gene McCann of the local baseball club can have the services of Jimmy Savage. the former Villanova captain. and who played long enough with Hartford last season to snatch victory from Bridgeport by a timely three bagger. Savage signed with the New York Americans and with the Waterbury club. When Warmer was purchased from. Hartford, the High flanders gave Savage over in part pay ment Waterbury later made a claim to the National commission, whereup- on the big leaguers were compelled to pay the Waterbury club something like s40O, though they still retained Save ge According to his contract this season Savage is not due to re- port to the New York club till July 1, as he will be assisting Fred Crolius in the coaching of the villanova Col leee players He also graduates in June. When he reports to the Amer jeans he will be turned over to the local mana cement if the latter desires his services. Savage is a third base man, but with Cy Miller. of whom great work is expected this season cov- ering that station. there is not much hope that he will land here

 What will the Connecticut League new men holding down jobs as mana gers? Every club around the cir cult will have a new man to hold the reins except the champions Hartford crew and Jack zeller band of Ponies.
 Over New Haven way, Owner Cam eron has gotten rid of George Bone, with his rough and ready talk, and Carrick. This is BilPs first try at the managing game. What he will do is a question. If he is given free rein, it is probable that he will work out 8 winning team. The Elm City fans yearn for tIat lost rivalry which ex- isted between the Bridgeports and the New Havens, with new faces in Bridgeport and renewed spirits in New Haven there ought to be revival.
 Up the Naugatuck Division, Water bury will make a stab for honors. Frank Connaughton will try his hand at the gan1e,- succeeding Mild Mique Doherty. If he is a better manager and player than Sir Michael was he'll be better than any manager ever in this league. Doherty had the noodle for manager, but with continual di- rectfons from the owner of the club, there was nothing to it, but drag along as best he could. The new man. ager will have an owner over him, Mickey Finn, who is well experienced in baseball. Connaughton comes from the New England league where he has been for the past two seasons. He is not youngster, but is well versed in baseball. He is a player himself, covering the second bag.
 Manager Billy Hanna has secured for his Bank Wreckers, Joe Connors, the Springfield catcher, giving in exchange his giant first baseman, Henry Mason. Connors has for a long time had man. agerial asperations. The change he has looked for is now at hand. He is of the aggressive type of ball player. the qualities which are most desired in a baseball manager of today. He ought to make good. He will not be as handicapped as most of the new managers, as he has a great bunch of excellent material
 Goldie Bowler did not make suc- cess of the Northampton team, accord ing to the fancies of Owner Edwards. The Lark manager had been sweet on Smiling Billy Luby all last season, and this year effected a deal whereby Bill came to the girls college town in ex- change for Ira Plank. Luby at once came to terms with Edwards as man. ager. and set out getting his players for the season. He has succeeded won- derfully to date and has secured many good men, besides getting rid of one great trouble. maker sTacks'' DeLave.

Cincinnati, Feb. 14.-Catcher John ny Kling will bring suit for $4O,O00 against the members of the National Commission unless they reinstate him so that he can play this year. He has consulted lawyers in Kansas City, Chicago and New York, and they have told him that he can sue for his salary for four years if the commis- sion refuses him readmittance in the league.
 However, fl now looks as if Kling will not have to resort to this method, inasmuch as the commission will vote his way if Murphy gives up his an- tagonism to the short schedule.

A two inch ruffie of white lace peeps
from the brim, and the trimming is
usually large, fat bow at the side.
What hats have lost this season in cir

and some of the models are prodi-
giously tall, but as they are the ad-
vance guard of millinery there Is every
reason to hope that as the season adj
vances they will be modified.
The new hats. though, are very try
ing to the average woman. for they
either sit down over the head, conceal
ing most of her hair or they fare up
abruptly and unbecomingly from her
face.
To be sure. there Is certain smart
ness about them, especially the coronet
shapes that have rather narrow up
standing brim in front and gradually
rise to stupendous heights In the back.
A wreath Of feathers resembling an In
dian chiefs war bonnet is the sole
trimming.

new, is very smart, and there is one
