The recall sounded in the fourth after he had filled the baseg with a pas to Chapman and brought Speaker up to the plate. Slim Love was called in to take care of this none too easy situation and Slim got rid of Tris all right, only to have Roth nick him for a single.

The | Frog Hollows are very anxious to ar- range a game with the Spartans who are supposed to be a fast nine, but so far, have failed to arrange a game. If a game is arranged, the | public will be surc of seeing one of | the best contests of the season. If the Spartans wish to accept this challenge they may communicate with the manager of the Frog Hol- lows, Joe Gutowski. Manager Gutow- ski has been handling the Spalding very well this season although it is the first year that he has held a po- sition on the team. Gutowski was for- merly with the Arcade nine, and showed splendid form. JACK HANLEY MISSING i Jack Hanley, the Waterbury south- paw, is Strangely missing. Jack was signed up by the Waterbury ball club ! and made his initial Eastern league | bow to a Waterbury public at Reid- ville a week ago Sunday. He failed | to last out the game, being taken out of the box by Manager and he hasn’t reported for duty since.
