N. F. \. BASEBALL SCHEDULE
Manager Leahy Has Arranged Very Satisfactory One Fort H. G. Wright Coming Here May 3o-No Bulkeley Games This Year-Champon Team This Season-Cap tain Stanley Has Recruits Out.

Manager Thomas J. Leahy of the Norwich Free Academy Baseball team has practically finished his schedule for the coming season. He has ar ranged for about twenty games in all and has not heard anything definite from several other teams yet.
 There is great disappointment in the fact that the Academy's blood-rival, Bulkeley will not have team this year. The usual games played with Windham High will have to be omitted this year owing to the fact that they are not going to have a team this year.
 One or two new teams have been added to the list, teams that have never appeared on the Academy cam- pus, Hartford and Fort H. G. Wright The latter will play here on Decoration day and usually they have team that can clean up anything in this district.
 The season starts with a local team on April Il, that is the pick of the city and will give the school boys a good go. There will be between twelve and fifteen home games and Manager Leahy says that he will have a team that will trim anything in this part of the state He says the Sachems are looking for a game and if they prove fast enough he will take them on. One of Manager Leahy's highest ambitions is to defeat the fast All Stars who established such county wide reputation last year. The date has not yet been set, but will be probably be when both teams are going in their best form.
 The campus is not thoroughly dried pj but it looks very promising now. Captain Stanley had about 15 recruits out on the Laurel Hill park Friday aft ernoon trying out their ability in chas- ing long flies. The schedule is the fol- lowing:
 April Il Sat.-Dingbats at Norwich.
 April Is, Wed-Americans at Nor wich.
 April 1S sat.-sodality at Norwich.

eALks AT SOUTHERN BERTH.
Harrison Refuses to Play in South Giant Outfielder Wants Northern IzL

John McGraw announced that waiv- CTS had been obtained on Eddie liar rison, the likely outf1elder who played with the regulars. McGraw asserted that he had given permission to Own CT Gardner of the Dallas team to open negotiations with Harrison.
 However, Harrison says that he will under no circumstances consent to play in the south. and especially in Texas. Should he persist in his stand McGraw will probably place him with Joe Kelly's team in Toronto. He is a hard hitter and a first class fielder and Kelly, who is in Dallas, will no doubt receive him with open arms. The New York club owes the Dallas team a player in return for courtesies, and somebody else will get the assignment
 The fact that Harrison was among the first to feel the slash of the axe furnishes a striking commentary on spring training performances. He has been killing the ball in all the games. Harrison was bought from the New burg club of the New York and New Jersey league last season. and was sec- ond in the league batting standing.

 There is no more ignorance there in the circles of sQualor and of crime than here. There is immortality enough to satisfy the most salacious if they are looking for it. and yet have never seen so much effrontery as 1 saw Ill the last American city through which passed on my way from California, to Mexico. There is more respectful be- havior among all classes in Mexico than among many people in this coun- try that we can't put in any class.

 ''The population of the olden time has much to do with the population of today. They are in war and because the IT on who led them have no concep- tion of the value of human life there is conflict and bloodshed. The Indians have been slaves for centuries, and here is the key to the present difficult ties. The higher class was killed on by the Spaniards, victims of European ferocity, and there was no middle class, the defense and bulwark of every nation.
 There is, however, nothing in the present war equal rO our prisons or .ersonville and Libby, prisons in a war between supposeuIy euucated, CIV ilized people.

 Bishop Hamilton paid many eomph- ments to former President Diaz and
 had nothing but condemnation for Cortez, whom he called the father of

Baltic Manaaer Replies.

To the Sporting Editor: In regards to Managtr Caron's statement in Fri days Bulletin about another series I wish to impress upon Manager Caron's memory that we have played his team iii & series twice and on both occa- sions he has squealed to play the de- ciding game. He also made a state ment in the dressing room that he was through with Baltic after we had trimmed his team. Then he goes to work and picks a team and plays un- der the assumed name of Baltic. He also made statements that he won the toss of the coin and the game was to be played in Taftville. In this statement both Sullivan. Love and Donnelly wish to let the public know that this was nothing but a scheme for his team to make money. That goes ot show how much sporting blood he has got and it shows very little for a man who is supposed to be a clean sport to try to fleece the sports out of their money.

Race Prejudice Discussed.

Rev. Mavetty, whose subject was the Freedman's Aid society, discussed race prejudice in an earnest yet humorous manner. and explained the aims of the society, making plea for the jubilee offering which is to commemorate fifty. years of freedom for the black people.
 Rev. Dr. Ward Platt, who gave a stirring talk upon Home Missions and Church Extension Work, stated that the objects of this branch of the church work were three-fold, to subsidize pas tors all over the country, the church extension work and the loan fund, not a loan of which, said he, was in ar rears in interest, although the fund was now over $1,600, 900. "Whoever wins America wins world equalization" said the speaker.
 Bishop Hamilton again interjected a new thought into the conference when he said that many churches had not realized their responsibility for the coming citizens who were growing up in the centres of large cities, but had sold their sites and gone away from the center, pocketing the money they had never earned. and erected in other locations splendid churches which they never could have afforded otherwise.
