 The Sing Sing baseball team, lpa' years champions of the Ossinins County league, Is reported as likely 10 repeat It's pcnnant-capturing stunt again this season. This team, the members of which are all chained together, has perhaps the closest knit defense in the county, while the players are said to be almost in separable and greatly attached 10 each other. The infeld Is practically a solid wall, for the players merely range themselves around the dia- mond and the connecting chains ef- Actively stop all grounders.
 The batting power Is tremendous, and 1t is known that the team holds secret practice every morning, when in making the big ones into little ones, they throw the rocks at each other and break them by using their hammers as bats. They also whet their eyes at noon by black lacking few stray guards.

Last year they stole everything in sight, winding up by breaking into the league head, quarters and stealing the league pennant, which was then duly awarded to them.
 They are all expert players, most of them having been chained for so long that they are unable to get away from the "bal" game.

While this allows them to score runs in blocksof nine it has its disadvantages, for in tTt post season series with Wethersfield last. year the whole Sing Sing team slid into second base. The Weth, ersfield 'shortstop touched them aE out and they could not bat agaiI for three innings.
