 THE INJUNCTION ARGUMENTS.
 That the discussion of the four tracking question does not attract the attention of the public was shown when the Superior court was opened ! at 10 o'clock this forenoon The mum Der of spectators and listeners were very small. There were a few attor- neys, outside of those engaged in the case, Coroner Doten, Louis Richards, Theodore W. Downs and James Blake1ey. The arguments were open ed by Attorney Klein. Attorney Da- venport appeared for the railroad as did Allan w. Paige. Judge DeForest aided attorney Klein.
 VICTOR PLAYERS DISSATISFIED. Jack Doherty, who for several sea sons has covered second bag for the locals has resigned as he has not been able to get sufficient compensation for his services. Doherty is plumber and earns good wages. He has taken part in every game the Victors have played so far this season, but has not averaged as much money from the games as he would had he remained at work. Last evening Manager O'Rourke reported the amount of re- ceipts taken in at the games Memorial | Day.
 | After paying each man $15, the man ager announced that he had $26 in l There was no rnistaking the sentiment of the majority of the players, who seemed to think that they had not received enough for their services Several of them were on the verge of following Doherty's example, but they did not do so.
 They believe it was mistake for the league to insist upon each town l taking the receipts vat home games. They argue that Bridgeport is the | poorest baseball town from a financial standpoint, in the league and say that it is a fact that should not be over looked when the rules are being made. They also say New Haven and Bridge port were treated shamefu1Iy in the dates, and a1lege that the four valley l towns were in a combine to have things all their own way.
 Ivers, Mansfield and Herbert have had offers from other teams. All three say that Manager O'Rourke is not to blame for the rule adopted pro- viding for the home team taking all the receipts. The. real cause of dis satisfaction is that most of the play CTS have been solicited by other teams in the league at tempting prices, and it is only natural that they should de- sire to better themselves.
