 With several weeks of practice, the teams to start tomorrow night should be somewhere near top form for the beginning of the season.
 A weekly magazine carrying . series of questions and answers in each issue asked the following one day: What player in the National league made three runs in ono in- ning?" The answer was Tommy Burns of the Chicago Nationals"
 Tommy Burns was a New Britain man who became one of the best known players in the world. He was q brother to the late Patsy Burns and many of the old-timers will re- member distinctly when he made the record above referred to.
 The Falcon baseball team. after scoring its fourth straight victory yesterday. has m unusual attrac- ton carded for next Sunday when it plays the Brightwood A. c. of Springfield at. St. Mary's field. The visiting team will furnish by far the hardest opposition the Falcons will have had this season.
 Dame Fortune smiled on the To. cal team yesterday afternoon when Alexander muffed . rather easy fly off Bucklan's bat and gave the To- calls a chance to score.
 A sidelight on the error by Alex ander is given us by a spectator who stated that several children were in the field when the ball was hit and it was the felder's concern for their safety rather than through his own omission to cover the ball that he dropped the fly.
 We have a letter here for the | baseball manager of the Orioles of ! this city. If Manager Abe Aronson i will call around before next Christ , mas, we will be glad to give him the missive.
