When bought Hoey and Mcdonald they were signed at s250 a month, but both signed at $200 and I agreed that if we had good year would give them bonuses of $100 each. When Miller signed in 1909 he was promised by Durant that he would be paid s2eo if carried in 1910, but he signed for S175. He played good ball and .n view of Durant's promise of the year before, gave him a bonus of $100 Ahearn was the cheapest man on our payroll. and had been a big factor, by his hard and faithful work, in winning out important games toward the close of the season. He asked no sulting with Durant, Becton and oth- CT directors. Smith was picked up free at Holyoke and accepted a cue of $75 month in salary. did not have a more faithful worker on the team and I paid him a bonus of $50. Nichols received $200 a month in 1909 and when he signed with me for SITS, I agreed to give him a $50 bonus if he behaved himself, which he did" ~

 TROUBLES OF FINKEGANs

Mike Finn, last years manager of the Connecticut league champions comes out with more information con- corning the affairs of the Waterbury club, and it practically amounts to applying the short and ugly term to H.

Finn says that the players were awarded to Durant not because the salary limit had been exceeded, but because of the bonuses paid them for landing a pennant in Waterbury for the first time in thirteen years.
 'Tf it was for exceeding the salary limit" says Mike, "every club in the league would have to vote to fine it. self, for Waterbury had the smallest paid club in the league, although we won the pennant.

Buggy Broken.

He and His Wife Bruised and His
Buggy Broken.
A few evenings ago DR.. Birnie and
his wife met with an accident that
almost proved a serious one. They
were returning from the country
along Liberty street and in the dark
the horse ran upon a big pile Of clay
placed in the street near the east
Liberty street railroad crossing.
DR.. Birnie stated that there were no
lights on the pile Of clay at the time
and that he had no reason to sus-
pect that it was there until he felt
the buggy going upon it and then
turning over. Both DR.. Birnie and
his wife were thrown out and con-
siderably bruised, but they were not
seriously injured. The buggy was
broken to pieces and left In bad
shape. 1t was learned that the dirt
had been placed in the street on each
side Of the crossing, a pile Of cirt
being on each side Of the street.
The fact that there was no light
upon the dirt or anything to keep
from running upon it or to
let them know it was there seems
to leave the railroad company liable
for negligence.
