1 Although numerous reasons are ascribed for the forfeiture of the Hartford franchise in the Eastern l League, which was announced | Monday night, baseball lovers in the | Capital City are not overlooking one of the most plausible, namely, the absence of rivalry Of the bitter, rcd | hot kind such as existed between Hartford and New Britain when this city was represented by a team in the old Connecticut League.
 Whatever the cause, it has always been recognized that the feeling be- tween the two cities went a long way towards bolstering up the interest in the national game, without which ] there can be little success either | from the viewpoint of finances or the sportsman's angle. A Hartford New Britain clash in any branch of | sports has ever been a natural | pert, Hclyoke Spring gfield and other inter-city rivalries seem extremely mild, and ever since New Britain was wiped off the map of league 1 ball. the game has suffered in Hart l ford.
 ! Bob Connery, president of the St. Paul club in the American Associa- l ton, was first baseman and manager | of one of the best teams Hartford ever had two decades ago, and he has never forgotten the rivalry that kept the fans in a state of frenzy l rom start to finish of Hartford New Britain meeting. In his rise to a position of importance in the ma tional game he has come in con- tact with many conditions and situ2- tions in all parts of the country, but he always harks back to the battles the old Wethersfield avenue grounds iN Hartford when he reminisCes on the subject Of hotly-contested da- nond tilts. He had been out of ac- tive play for years before the fans it these parts learned his name was latter that he was ''razzed' and oc- casionally cheered in New Britain.
 No sooner would Connery set foot in Electric Field than a Hot day, Tom" greeting would be thrown 4t him from the bleachers and grand stand. Every time he dug a To" throw out of the dirt someone told him he was lucky, and when ne missed them. as all ball players do, he heard about it the rest of the day. He was not lost for reply, either, and the repartee from first base to the bleachers was one of the features of every game in which he played here.
 4 Good Manager
 Connery was a good manager, He had plenty of hustle and the fight ing spirit that old timers long for in present day ball players, He could not tolerate a loafer and fe" hcavy-footed athletes stayed on the Hartford roster very long. He tried to win every game and when his club lost he felt and and everybody about him knew it, too.
 Some colorful players wore the Hartford spangles in those days m fact, the whole league sparkled With ! stars, many big leaguers of the time having found their place in North ampton, Springfield. Holyoke, New Britain, Meriden and other cities which were represented in the cir cult. Bill Luby, now a practiclnS lawyer and prominent in democratic politics in Meriden, was one of the heavy hitters who dented the fences at Electric Field and other parks, and before transferring to an out field position he had at least one no-hit game to his credit. He later became baseball coach at New York

 Old Time Stars
 Hogan Yancey, long~lesged. rangy outfielder, starred with Hart fcrd for a while. Ha played center field when Red" Mckenna, a southpaw, covered left field and Jim Hart played right field. That was one of the best outfields in minor league baseball the trio carrying a punch at bat and covering the gar- dens like tarpaulin protector! McKenna is remembered by New Britain fans for his fielding in . Fourth of July morning game at | Electric Field The crowd was so large there were spectators seated on top of the fences surrounding the park and a sizeable throng was standing behind the fielders. The l New Britain batters sent ball after ball 10 the fence in deep left field but Mckenna sprinted into the crowd and turned the hits into putouts by marvellous catches. Hart was a quiaI, unassuming fellow who always wore his sleeves to the wrists, and he was l enc of the steadiest and surest hit tcrs in the league, hitting third in the batting order, just ahead of Con- ncry.
 1 Yancey was like a deer on the ! bases, his long stride giving him an advantage over his mates and he was so confident of his ability to ad- vance himself from first to second that it was a common stunt for him to start on the first ball. turn back when the batter fouled one off anI deliberately announce that he was going again, flashing down the path and making the base standing up even against perfect throw from the catcher.
 Snappy Infielders
 Connery generally had snappy in- | fielders on his clubs and their ball handling in the Warm-up practice before the game was a treat. Ed die Justice was shortstop for several
  ond and Metzger on third. Harry Hoyes, who later played with New 1 Britain, was a third bascman with Hartford for some time, also, and after Gardner went with the New York Americans, Gus Soffel playeI second. Later, Johnny Warmer, who | died several years ago, had the Is- signment. Soffel was of portly stl- tLre but managed to get over the ground in good style and he was a 1 crowd pleaser everywhere.
 Joe Casey and Arby Arbogast were among the catchers who work cd for Connery in the old Connecti- ous times he had Ray Fisher, tho Vermont school master who after- wards was a star with New York in the American League; Pete Wil- son of this city, now in Bridgeport: Hack Schumann, one of the heftlest athletes of his time; Lefty Leverenz. who is still knocking about the country although he is well along the route as athletes go; Chick Evans. one of the few pitchers ever to pitch a no-hit, no-run, no-man- reach-first game; Buck OBrian. later with the Boston Red Sox, a1i a number of others.
 New Britain Nemesis
 Fisher was New Britain's nemesis and it was a common saying aroun1 the circuit that all he had to do was tess his glove into the box and the Hardware City crowd was trimmed. He was a speed ball pitcher with fine control and the way he could put the fast ones through the center tContinued on the Following Page.i

In fact, just hours and IA minutes
after the message reached the State
Department, the American Government
acted upon Herrick's suggestion.
The "lost cablegram," in which AM
bassador Herrick in Paris, suggested to
Secretary of State Bryan on the eve of
the European war that the United
States make a strong plea for delay
and moderation" was reproduced by
Col. T. Bentley Mott, Herrick's military
aide and biographer, in Worlds Work
Magazine. The article quoted Mr.. Her
rick as saying that President Wilson
told him later he never had seen this
cablegram.
The records show, however, that the
Herrick message arrived in the State De-
partment at 7:30 pm, July %, 1914,
and that at 11:44 pm. the following
message signed Bryan" was dispatched
from the White House to Ambassador
Page at London:
as there in your opinion any likeli-
hood that the good offices of the United
States II offered under article of The
Hague convention wuold be acceptable

enciphered in the White House that
night. Department officials say thot
