pEATH oF acHARLIE. KENNEDY.
Former Connecticut League Player and
 Umpire Died at Springfield.

Charlie Kennedy, the former Con- nectictIt league umpire, died Tuesday afternoon in Springfield at the isola- tion hospital from consumption of the bowels. When he was brought to the hospital last Saturday from Norwich it was noted that his condition was serious and little hope for his recovery then was entertained However, his death Tuesday proved surprise. He was 39 years old and leaves a wife and two children, Charles. nine years old, and Raymond. seven, who live at 250 Liberty street, Springfield. Eleven years ago Tuesday he was married in Hartford
 Kennedy began his baseball career in Connecticut several years ago and for many seasons was considered a clever outf1elder. He played with Man chester, Bristol and other Connecticut places and for a time was with the Springfield Connecticut league club, playing center field. Passing from the ranks of the player, he took to umpiring, and in this department of
 Ntfe game he was successful for some time. He was efficient and popular with the players and fans. and it can be said as 8 solid fact that when he was in the best of health he was as good an umpire as ever took part in Connecticut league affairs.
 On Monday the deceased dictated Q letter of thanks to Capt. Bobby Hart of the Hartford polo team. who had proposed benefit game for him. = MT. Kennedy was born in Baltic, this state, and as a youngster showed a lot of baseball ability. After play ing as a pitcher with independent teams in Connecticut he went into the Connecticut league as member of the Derby team. In 1899, 1900 and 1901 he was with the Bristol team, except for a few weeks in 1899, when he played with Derby. In 1902 he played center, field for Roger Connor's Springfield team. A broken bone in his wrist put him out of commission as a player and he took to umpiring. His judgment was exceptionally good and in a short time he was rated as the best umpire in the circuit He ' was then given a trial in the National league, but his habits later queered ! him.
 He umpired for time in the south
 and was suspended for leaving the
 Southern league without giving notice | of his intentions. Later he was re-
 | instated and allowed to take up work
 his old-time reliability was gone and he soon lost his place. For the last two years he has been a wanderer working for time in New York, and
 later going back to Baltic, where he became seriously i'll. Mrs. Kennedy was appraised that he had been taken 1 to the almshouse in Norwich
 Mrs. Kennedy has been supporting herself and children two years or more
 A subscription has been started in Springfield. Jimmy Canavan, the New Haven polo owner, was in Springfield Tuesday, in relation to tho proposed game with Hartford. It is probable it will be played for Mrs. Kennedys benefit.
