That "Bill' Scinski has strength ened the New Britain team by secur- ing Carey and Magnusson there is no doubt in the minds of the fans.

 The New Britain club established a record for itself during the week -end by winning three garles in succession, defeating New Haven in the second game of the double header Saturday and Waterbury two games yesterday An improvement in the stick work and in the field work of the boys has been noticed in the past week and if they continue it is good betting that they will not finish in the cellar.
 Three home games are on the schedule this week The Skis are do- ing their best this afternoon to whip Pittsfeld. On Wednesday Jake Boultes and his fast crowd will come from Bridgeport looking for trouble. The last appearance of the club at home this week will be on Thursday when Waterbury will put up a scrap at Electric field.

Missouri Professor Predicts Public
 Ownership of Big Clubs.

Columbia, Mo-, July 27.-Prof. Jesse E. Wrench, teacher of history at the University of Missouri, predicts that the United States will own all the baseball leagues in the United States in the next twenty-five years and that congress would make appro- priations for ball players. He said he thought the players would be on a kind of civil service basis.
 The magnates cannot agree, he added, the players and the managers and the owners are in a constant squabble of some sort. The public often objects that poor administra- ton of the sport is responsible for many ills.

Rube Marquard's work may be un- even. but he gave a rare. exhibition of effectiveness in two consecutive games, holding the Pirates to twelve hits in twenty one innings and beating them, then holding the Reds to two hits and beating them.
 Considering his good pitching against the White SoX Jack Warhop has tough time beating them. On May % he held them to six hits and lost, to O. on July he held them to three hits, and the game was a tie. 1 to 1; on July 25 he held them to four hits in thirteen innings and lost, 1 to 0. The New Yorks have dropped three 1 to 0 games to the White Sox. Fisher pitched the one in which Warhop wasn't engaged.
 In St. Louis there's new fangled poker game called Big Six" That's what one gets for being a famous pitcher.
 Here's an anomaly; Christy Mathew son has the best percentage of wins among National league pitchers, yet more hits have been made off him than any other pitcher. The latter fact is accounted for partly by the large number of games he has pitched, but from his record of eighteen wins and four defeats 1t would appear that hits off him don't mean much.

the store of Mink Justice aud on the
second floor by the family of Cum

by the fraternal organization known
as the Golden Rule, but of late
years II has been occupied as resi-

The family of Mr.. Fry consisted
of nine in number and when thew
were awakened by the cracking

believed that he was overcome by
the smoke and could not get to the

The origin of the fire IL not
