Especial to the Herald)
 Washington, Aug. 2O.-Governo or Baldwin has written to the mem bers of the Connecticut delegation in con- gress asking them to support the bill for the improvement of the channel in the upper bay of New York, intro duced in the senate by Senator O'Gor- man. In the opinion of the gover- nor the plan outlined in the bill for the improvement of the water facil- ities of New York will be of great ad- vantage to the defence of Connecticut in case of war at any time.
 He says: "At the present moment vessels of war of heavy draft cannot communicate between the Sandy Hook channel and Long Island Sound by the way of East river and He'll Gate To remedy this the board of engineers recommended extending the Ambrose channel, so-called, into the upper bay of New York;
 He asks the congressman to ex- anime the engineers report and the accompanying maps and says: Should you do this think you will be of the opinion that the interests of Connecticut would be promoted by the improvement suggested. It would, of course, be commercially beneficial besides it's military advantages, and offer increased accommodations for the traffic coming by way of the Panama canal, the barge canal and the Cape Cod cana1.''

His Team Fails to Ht ard Loses
 Came 3 to 1.

For six and one half innings the baseball team representing the clerks and the one explained by Jimmie Naughton and for which pr. zwick pitched, hence the name pro- fessionals, battled at Electric field yesterday afternoon in what was pretty exhibition of ball playing. The clerks won the game by the score of 8 to 1, scoring one run in the open ing inning when the professionals infield made two errors. The other two runs came in the sixth and were earned by heavy hitting. Dr. zwick and Fitzpatrick were the only pro- fessionals to connect safely with Dudjack's offerings and the former scored the only run for his team.
 In the meantime the Clerks solved pr. Zwick's assortment of shoots and collected total of six hits. Beckett made two of these when he beat out infield hits. Dudjack contributed three bagger and German disting- uished himself by making a circus catch in right field.
 Griffin, Hogan and Blanchard all fell victims to Dudjack's curves and Blanchard struck out twice. Naugh- ton also famed twice and Wensel found nothing but empty air on one occasion. Dr. Zwick also got into the strike out column, flaming Hor- ton twice and sending Carey, Cor man. Dudjack and Chalmers back to the bench on other occasions. Beck ett made the only error for his team when he ran into Chalmers territory and dropped a high fly. The score:

EATEN UP AVERAGES
 OFF PETE'S DELIVERY
White Wings Win Easily, Scoring Thirteen Runs s--zcToS for Locals.

If the New Haven batters do not jump into the 300 class this week it will certainly be no fault of the New Britain team. When the smoke had cleared away after yesterdays nine innings of slaughter the White Wings were ahead by the score of 3 to c, and had pounded Pete Wilson to all corners of the lot for total of nine teen safe sWats. The, best New Brit ain could do was to secure five singles, Jones, Zeimer, Clarke and Moves be- ing the only men to connect safely Wilson had two strikeouts and Jensen two
 The game was featured by the heavy hitting of the White Wings and the slow work of the locals. The Ski outfielders were kept busy and Daw- son. particularly was kept on the jump. Clarke, New Britain's second base man, pulled a bone in the seventh when Wilson caught Waters mapping off first. The New Haven catcher was dodging between first and second when Clarke suddenly held onto the ball and Waters scooted back to first amid general laughter. In the fifth Sherwood, after he had hit for two bases, was tagged out at second when he pulled his foot off the bag. Aside from a brilliant stop of 8 hard drive over second in the fourth by Pope and Dawson's catch of long fly which he had to pick off the left field fence in the seventh the game was simply swatfest.
 If the team had expected to play to a large crowd it was doomed to disappointment, for although there were many more than usual present the attendance did not exceed 800. The score:
