TROLLEY LEAGUE IN MERiDEN.
 The Trolley League in Meriden.

The Meriden Record has the follow 1rEg to say about baseball in that city:
 Here's another thought about the Meriden team of the Trolley league. Where's the person who suggested that this city have a team? Perhaps he's the same man who voted for Alton B. Parker, or probably he is that per son who said the Panama canal would be finished in 1910. It was poor policy to bring a team to this city in the face of the fact that there was no demand for it. And as long as it was here, why didn't it stay here2 Like the Arabs, it seemed to have folded it's tents in the night and departed How old is Ann?" has been sticker for years; thousands of throats have screeched Has anybody here seen Kelley?" but the prize problem of the

In the eighth, New London scored what appeared to be the winning run when Ferris forced in Griffin by presenting base on balls to Reiger with the bases full. Middle town evened up in the ninth however, by a hit a stolen base, an error and by three hits with one man out The game was exceptionally fast. the time being 1.35. The score:

It is only when ball players are travelling at their clubs expense that they look for and expect so much. and when on their various ways home after a season I have known them to go back to the old Sullivan" cheap hotel and 'beer-and' anu think them good enough.
 There are other players. however, who with the habits of luxury imbib ed under the; clubs expense travel just as luXuriously under their own.
 While on trains managers allow their players to play cards for money but poker and bridge are the most popular games. The limit allowed at poker is not over dollar at the most and usually it is smaller.

 George. Rogers was suggested as a leader for the team and the public said: Sure, let George do it." But they didn't give George any support They just gave George free rein and nothing else to work with. Under those circums tances, you can't blame even a George Rogers for washing his hands of the whole matter. But the fact remains that the team seems to be lost. strayed or stolen, and if you want baseball you can go to Hanover park and see the Dublins or to Bliss field and watch the Factory league boys play. But that was good enough before some mysterious person an nOunced that he had brought the Mer- iden Trolley league team to this city on the Owl" and it is safe bet that it will be good enough for the rest of the summer.
