Now Charles s hooked up with Jack Dillon, who is five inches shorter and about thirty pounds lighter. ~ What other sizes have you? Moran shaould forget all about that Willard fight while facing Dillon. . Else by mistake, through force of habit, he will be swinging three or four feet over Dillon’s bobbing bean. What's the Quaint Idea? You may recall the names of the Pardest hitting infield that has played in twenty years—McInnis, Collins, Barry and Baker. Three at least were always good for any spot be- tween .330 and .360. Then they were scattered. ~ Now what's the quaint idea? Have you noticed their batting marks of 19162 Frank Baker, batting .264. Eddie Collins, with the White Sox, is batting .248. Jack Barry, batting .216. Stuffy McInnis, with the Mackmen, is batting .183. There is a saying that is supposed to run something like this: “United we stand; divided we fall” That might be revised to read: “United we bat over :300; divided we drop back below .250." For it is a remarkable occurrence, incident or episode that not one of the old Mackian infield is batting .270, two months after the season has cpened. Only one of the quartet is over 0, and the average of the four is down around .225. Knowing all the quaint and sudden upsets connected ' with- baseball, this turn is the strangest of them all. For there isn't a man in the bunch who is et .thirty: there isn’t a one of them who isn’t taking fine care of himself; there isn’t an entry from the lot who isn’t hustling his best and drawing Gown big money for the job. Yet here is the answer—a com- bined batting average of .2 for Stuffy MelInnis, Frank Baker, Fddie Collins and Jack Barr And this after two months’ play. There are still one or two things in the span of this game that lie beyond the philo- sophy and dope of all wha follow its winding wake. And this is one of them. with the Yanks, is with the Red Sox, is L. L.

The fans have given us wonderful support in spite of the poor showing of the club. Although the weather has been bad we have broken about even financially, which is more than any other club can say. Bridgeport is a good baseball city and we are con- vinced that our investment will pay big dividends as soon as we get a winner.” Bridgeport is trying to get Catcher Flaherty, who is on the Lawrence re- serve list, but who refuses to report.
