First baseman Hal Williams, who was
recently injured at st. Louis, has re-
turned to New York to recuperate and
await the return of the Highlanders
from their western invasion.
Peter johnson, the famous three-year-
old belonging to James Boutwell, of
Montpelier, has been unable TO show
true form in the grand circuit owing
