NEW ENGLAND LEAGUE STANDING.
NEW LONDON BASEBALL
SHOWED $500 DEFICIT
Plant Clipped in $6,6Oo-Balance
Made Up by Directors.

In what measure New London fans
lacked in appreciation of their base
ball team this season was shown on
Thursday when the shutters were
drawn on the season of 1911 by the
local association and the directors an
nounced a total deficit of $7,700. This
amount was made up of the $4,000
spent in preparing the park and of
S4.100 which was the amount required
to run the season over the total re-
ceipts.
Morton F. Plant bore the brunt of
$4,000 and Thursday he Clipped in
$1,000 more. The balance is made UP
by the directors. The loss is another
lesson for the public spirited who want
New London to be on the baseball
map.
The expenses of running the team
were heavy. The players were well
paid and there was no stinting on
equipment. Supplies in plenty were
furnished. The rental of Armstrong
park was $500 for the season.
The public simply did not attend.
The majority of the games showed a
substantial loss and of the few games
that held a balance on the right side
the amount was less than $40 in each
case.
The expenses of fixing the field were
chiefly the building of the grandstand
and bleachers, the laying out of the
diamond and the rolling down of the
field. The association has option for
the next two years on the ffeld.-New

EvERs' NEW AMBITION.
Johnny Aims to Be Crackajack at
Third

Johnny Evers has a new ambition.
He wants to develop himself into the
greatest and fastest fielding third base
man the Chicago Cub team has had,
now that he has been planted there by
Manager Chance.
Until this season EverS never occu-
pied third base regularly; in fact, he
had played only one game there in his
entire baseball career, even While an
amateur. That single instance was with
the Cubs in 1904 against the New York
Giants. Then he did not finish the
game. He played only seven innings
and was taken out by Frank Se1ee, who
was then leader of the team and who
was afraid Evers would be killed by
the vicious drives Sandow MerteS, Dan
Mccain and Roger Bresnahan were
smashing Through his territory.
Evers YVES several pounds lighter
than he is at present. He was cred
tied with two stops that day that near
ly knocked him over, but he was 50
agile he recovered and got both run
ners at first, who were Mertes and Nc
Gam, both of whom played their best
ball then. That same Gay George
Browne laid down a bunt on Evers,
who came up fast, scooped the sphere
and struck the runner in the neck. Ev :
ers made no attempt to play third base
after that.
Evers is full of confidence that he
Will earn for himself the same reputa--
ton he did while he was regular Sec
ond basenan for the champions.
When Manager Chance asked the
Trojan if he could play third base, Ev-
Norwich bulletin., 1911-09-09

ers hesitated in replying, although he
was anxious to get back in the game.
His reason for not accepting the offer
Immediately was because he feared
his throws would not be fast and
strong enough from third to first. In
playing second base the pegs are only
one-third as long and little strength is
necessary.
Chance knew what Evers could do in
throwing, as he has a wonderful arm
for a man of his size and vitality. The
manager convinced him that he could
make good and should try. Evers found
that he could throw the ball just as
easily as he did when he was at sec
ond. His throws may not have the
speed, but the rapidity with which he
gets the ball away from him offsets
this. Besides 1T is a straight underhand
throw and little time is lost.
Writers in the big league cities in
commenting upon the National league
race are content to say that Chicago,
Pittsburg, and New York will fight
it out. Many favor the Cubs From
this end the Giants appear to stand
the best chance and they have looked
the best for several weeks. They are
playing faster ball than the other two.
They are the fastest set of players in
the league. and while individually they
dc not class with others, they are
playing together better and getting re-
suits; and because of their wonderful
leader. McGraw. With McGraw's tenn
per curbed, the Giants are managed
by a gem, and are winning lots of es-
TEEN. Their pitchers could be better,
but Marauard is Ok, Mathewson al
most and Crandall sometimes. These
are the three McGraw must depend
upon. Chicago is strong and should
nose out the Pirates for second. But
this is merely an opinion.

New Jersey CoIIesians Defeated Har-

UMPiRE'S DECISION RlLED
NEW BRITAIN OWNER
Calling Game Off on Friday Blocked a
Possible Chance to Tie New Haven.

New Haven, Sept. 8.-There was a
smah-sized war between Manager
Cameron of the New Haven team and
Owner Murphy of the New Britain
team at Savin Rock this afternoon,
when Umpire Nallin called the double
header off and Cameron refused to play
at Murphy's request, although the sun
was almost shining. 1t rained today
and the grounds We're a trifle moist,
but it is understood that they were in
such shape that the games could have
been played, in fact, the umpires de-
cision not to play the games was made
on the toss of a coin. Owner Murphy
was much incensed, due in a measure
to the fact that if his team had won
both games it would have been tied for
fourth place with New Haven. The
season closes Sunday and today's
games will not be PLAYED.
