The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1910-03-28
LIVE BASE
 BALL DOPE

The baseball writer of the Hartford Courant having noted the Farmers query that it was up to the circuit
 writers to dig up a, name for the ex-
 Orators comes forward with the fol- lowing suggestion:
 The Bridgeport team without James
 H. O'Rourke cannot be called the Orators. As Hezekiah Eugene McCann is the nattiest dresser in the league and, the only manager who wears SpatS, it is possible that the Orators
 will become the Berry Walls"

 Long Larry" Mclean, the Cincin- natf catcher has again fallen from the water wagon and has been suspended by Manager Griffith. The old fox stated before the team went into boil ing out that a damper would be put on the old red stuff, and that it's us- CTS would find it hard to hold a job with the Reds. It is the carrying out of this order that Mclean has been sus- pended. It is stated that Mclean has worn Red uniform for the last time. Peter Wilson, the former Bridgeport boy, and once with the Hartford team, will pitch for the Montreals when they Athens, Ga, today. Pete was turned back to the MontFeals last season by the Yankees.

 Pitcher lawn Hess has notified his owners the Lawrence New England | League team. that he will not play in l that organization this coming season. l Accordingly he has been offered to the Northampton team for $500 but Own CT Gil Edwards does not favor buying him up though he is a good man.

 There came near being another Con- necticut League transfer. that of Her man Schineel of the Waterbury club Long John Golden, but the chance Of the Larks in getting an experienced catcher fen through Owner Finn inn his outer garden will be well taken care of this season.
 the showing of Catcher Joe Casey, the former Hartford backstop. Says Jen- 11ings: seCasey is the man. who looks this year and do it effectively.

 As Fred Clarke, manager of the Pittsburg- team, dfslikes frdIls. Paddy osConnor and the other members of the Pirates will not have Worlds across their new uniforms this season. The only insignia the Pirates will wear is a small .'P'' on he cap. There will not even be the on the sleeves the Pirates sported last year. Fancy inscriptions nave brought hard luck to worlds Champions according to Clarke. When 1he White Sox were premiers they wore a. big display and had horse / blankets with the letters Worlds inscribed. which were put ,n the horses hauling the players bus. That year almost every team in the ] American League took a fall out of he Sox. When the New York Giants were worlds champion they made a inni1ar display, and the Chicago Cubs ook the championship from them theI lext season.
