What They Are Doing on Diamond.
 Many fans have asked Manager Jim O'Rourke why he did not take advan- tage of the services of Patsy Cunning ham, who has been about town since the season opened. Cunningham leaves for Bangor, Me, next week. The fans would have liked to see Patsy play before he leaves the city.
 Jim Rogers, brother of Terry Rog- CTS of this city, who is now a member of the Washingtons, put up a great game against New York Giants yes- terday. Without any previous prac- tfce in that position Rogers played sec ond base yesterday to perfection He had only one error out of 12 chances and that was an excusab1e one. There is no denying that Rogers is one of the finds of the season and perhaps Magnate Friedman of the New Yorks will realize the mistake he made when he accepted Tim Murnane's advice and signed Harry Davis of the Pawtuckets in place of Rogers.
 Billy Lush, the other Bridgeport boy who is playing with the Senators may not be given much of a chance this year, as he was signed as a fielder and the three positions are now filled with men who are leaders in their class, and who have been members of the team for some time.
 Jack Kelly, a local boy, reserved by the Pawtuckets has not left for that place yet. It is rumored that he is holding out for more money.
 Edward McDona1d, second basernan of the SpringfeIds, will join the team next week for preliminary practice shortly before the season opens.
 The Acorns, the amateur team which would have won the championship of the City League last season had not the series hzzled out, are preparing to organize for the season. Among those who are to play with the club are "Jack'' Campana, Buck Horn, t'Bi11'' O'Leary, Frank Belinski, Ulrich, Danny Russell, Tom Malone and Jack Doherty. The St. Patrick's will soon organize for the year and will present as strong an organization as they had last year. Two of their best players are Doo1ey and Kane.
