Andy Meyerjack, who pitched for the Singers and. other clubs in this city, will get a trial with Milwaukee in the American Association next season. Meyerjack has been sent to Milwaukee by the Hartford club as part of the deal by which First Base man Nal Barry comes to Hartford. ,Meyerjack did not do very much with Hartford last season but he had a poor team behind him.
 Barry was put on the market by the Milwaukee club after it bought DeI Gainer, substitute first sacker and outfielder of the Boston Red Sox and at one time regular guardian of fhe Detroit Tigers first sack Barry is an A E. F. veteran and saw con- siderable service while in France. He returned from overseas in the middle of last season and took part in fifty seven games. z. The addition of Barry provides the nucleus for the construc- tion of the infield for the comin g season and if the first move made by Manager Howley in building up the inner works is any criterion, the Hartford club bids fair to have an in field that will stand second to none in the league.
 Barry, as his record attests, is a tried end true veteran, having played in three of the fastest minor leagues in the country, the International, Pacific Coast Leagues and the American AS sociation. In all three he established himself as a consistent hitter and a suburb fielder. In 1916, with Oak land on the far Coast, he earned the handsome average of .991, topping all first seekers in fielding. In 1914, with Jersey City in the International Barry again won the fielding honors with an average of .990. The following season, 1915; also with Jersey City he was tied with Walter Holke first eacker of the Boston Braves, for sec ond place in fielding. That year Joe Judge, now of the Washington Amer jeans, led all first sackers.
 Barry lives in BrocSton, Mass. and broke into professional baseball in his home town in 1912 when the old New England League was in it's prime Barry made good with Brocktor right off the jump and after spend ing one season with the club fol which he belted the sphere for .31 5 the New York Yankees obtained his services. He was taken South by the Yankees and made such an impress sion that the New York management kept him for quite a period. They finally decided that he was in feed of more seasoning and let him oui to the Jersey City club of the Inter national League. With the Skeeters Barry played in forty-three games and hit for an average of .245. IT 1914 Barry whanged the apple fol .299, while in 1915 he hit for .2S9.
 Andy Meyerjack who goes to Mil waulzee as part of the deal began hi Il IT Iar riff fyUI years ago. Although he has beer backed by poor club both seasons Meyerjack showed flashes of form and has the makings of a good pitch CT. Jack Egan, the Milwaukee man afier, has heard so much about Mey erjack that he appeared to be nor than anxious to grab the twirler whe
 Manager Howley preached the dea for Barry.

MIDNIGHT REVEL
ENDS IN SHOOTING
DUNMORE FARMER
Frank Durant Wounded in
Shoulder at Lake

The stiffness of the camp communi-
ties at Lake Dunmore was rudely
broken in the wee hours of the morn
ing today by the sharp staccato of
three revolver shots fired by the leader
of a drunken party of five JOY riders.
Frank Durant of Salisbury, who pass
ed the merry quintet as they revelled
in their orgy in front Of the Hawkins
cottage. was shot in the shoulder for
reasons unknown. The assailant,
Duncan Higgenbottham of Rye, N. Y.
professional chauffeur in the employ
of Pliny Fiske of Harvey, Fiske & Co.,
guest at the Mountain Spring hotel
at the Lake, is in the county Jail on
Court street awaiting arraignment for
assault with dangerous weapon. A
companion, Edmund Hurley, drummer
in the orchestra at the hotel, is also in
jail on charge of drunkenness A
third member of the party will be
taken by the police during the after
noon, in all probability.
The story is the same old tale of the
chauffeur secretly borrowing his en-
ployer's car, in this case a large Cadi-
llac touring, and taking the boys for
a good time
Liquor was added to the party for
the sake of sociability, but unfortun-
ately got the better of the boys mental
equilibrium. At about two o'clock
the party stopped in front of the
watering trough near the Durant
homestead Mrs Durant has been in
poor health for same time, being in a
serious condition. The jewellers were
heard to threaten to throw two boys,
occupants of the car, into the water
if they persisted in their refusal to
drink something" Mr. Durant on
hearing the disturbance arose and
dressed in order to ask the disturbers
to leave his premises on account of
the annoyance they caused his wife.
Before he could reach the trough the
car had departed, The words he had
heard caused him to suspect trouble
farther on the road He followed in
his own car to investigate.
