The of the Connecticut League of Clubs convened in the directors, Elks' Hall here this afternoon, the chairs being occupied as Ruler Tracy. Master the Exchequer- H. O' Rourke. Keeper of the Seals- William W. Hanna.

Esteemed Lecturing Knight--Jack Zeller. Outer Guard Willie Ox. Before the meeting convened, Mananger Hanna, who was the host of the occasion, held a reception in his bouThe New Britain owner has finely doir, directly under the room. lodge, furnished apartments, which include a Queen Anne bed, a portable library, a Louis Quatorze chair, a letter case for baseball correspondence, four pairs of shoes and a center dish for figs. In the room off the lodge room assigned for the fanning bee there was a chafing dish and Bill Luby thought that if he could get the key to Hanna's room and secure the figs he might put them in the chafing dish and make a beef stew, something like that.

When the delegates got together, they expressed their disappointment because "The Courant" did not print a key showing the route to the hall. Manager Hanna made every one as comfortable as possible and Tom Dunn, the maitre d'hotel of the Elks' Hall, was instructed to take the gentlemen's orders. The magnates were in session about three hours. Hezekiah Eugene McCann, the new owner at Bridgeport, came in with Secretary O'Rourke and he was easily fashion plate of the assembly, some of the veterans expressing the opinion that he had it on Tom Dowd a little in that respect. Freddie Winkler of Holyoke, Gilbert Edwards of Northampton and John F.

Sullivan of Spripgfeld lingered In Hartford until last boat. Edwards was called "Count Edwards" when he was a pupil at the Gunnery School in Washington since he the baseball arena has been the boy magbut, entered, nate. He has one other claim to recognition and that is that he is the only owner who favors woman suffrage. Manager Zeller of Springfleld and Frank McLean of Glastonbury were among the first arrivals, as they left Hartford on the 1 o'clock train. President Tracy and Chief Kennedy came over from Bristol and the president did not show any traces of his recent 111- ness.

S. W. Challenger of Bridgeport, the schedule maker, was not present, as he sent up the copies of the achedule by Mr. O'Rourke. George M.

Cameron of New Haven is on his honeymoon and he neglected to give his proxy to any one. Mickey Finn is not a bona fide director as yet and Waterbury was represented by Harold R. Durant. Manager Clarkin did not arrive until the meeting was under way. He wore a light rah rah hat, anther evidence that Tom Connery's coaching at Trinity 1s having some effect.

Ex-Mayor A. E. Taylor of Chicopee, the vicepresident of the league, was on hand, an unusual honor for this place as he seldom attends the meetings. The above list comprises all who got by the Inner guard with the Manager Bill Luby of Northampton and Frank McLean, former pitchers in Springfield, had A pool game while the magnates were discuss. ing the schedule.

Jimmie Burns, Luby's lieutenant, did not show up and Luby said he was very busy In Merlden. Another absentee was Joe Connor, the new manager for New Britain, who is said to have a patent on inside ball. Manager Hanna said that he did not expect, Mr. Connor until late in April, about the 23rd. The New Britain owner said that he did not believe in having the men report early, as the rigors of climate here early in April are too much for ball players.

He said the team would not make any trips for exhibition games, as there was no profit in them and the men did not receive any advantage, Mr. Hanna said that the accounts in the papers that he was to dispose of Sox Waterman were, not correct and he received numerous offers for him by reason of the erroneous statement. Manager Carrick of New Haven put In a bid for Waterman and Hanna sent him word that he would not exchange Waterman for any player in the Connecticut League. Mr. Hanna said that there was a difference of opinion over salary but Waterman would surely play in New Britain, Contracts have Been sent all of the Cubans reserved but it is not known at present how many of them will play here.

There is a wide difference of opinion here over the capabilities of the Cubans, Some think that they are good drawing cards, as they are apt to pull off original stunts, One objection to them is that they are apt to fall down at critical moments and put the team in a hole, A reporter for "The Courant" interviewed some prominent fans about the advisability of having the cobwebs here again, with this result: Fans who want the Cubans, 12; fans who do not want them, 8. announced today that Rufe Rufange would be back and the management will endeavor to have Dr. Bray at every game in which Rufe plays, with a surgeons' kit. It was Also reported FOUR FINE BOWLING ALLEYS. Come and Try Them.

When President Tracy called the meeting to order, Secretary O'Rourke introduced Manager McCann, the new Bridgeport magnate, and he was chosen a director of the league. It was voted to have the box the games inserted in the "Sporting Newe," which was a point won by Managers Connery and Zeller.

The proposition to change the name of the league from Connecticut to Northeastern was defeated and the vote was a tie. The three directors voted in favor and Bridgeport, Waterbury and New Britain voted nay, Manager was not present when this matter came up but he said later that he did not favor a change of the name. One reason. why the name was not changed was because a first-class substitute was not presented. Manager Zeller was much peeved at the defeat of one of his pet schemes and the headquarters of the Springfield Board of Trade will be draped in black in consequence, It was decided that the visiting team shall have thirty minutes of practice before a game, fifteen minutes in feld- ing and Afteen in batting.

It was voted to have the salary limit and maximum number of players rule go into effect on May 15. This will give the clubs a chance to try out any number of green men and was one of the schemes advocated by Manager McCann. For the Arst month of the championship season, the clubs are to send the salaries of the umpires to the secretary, each club being assessed alike. No one seemed to know what the advantage was in this rule but one effect would be that it would keep the umps out of the box offices looking for their money. Manager Zeller proposed a scheme of pooling the holiday receipts, with each club taking its own grandstand recelpts.

Manager Clarkin voted against this and the one vote was enough to kill it. There was a long discussion over the schedule as submitted. Every manager had his ax to grind and after considerable time had been taken up, Manager Clarkin said he was weary of the discussion and he would vote to have the schedule submitted adopted, without change. Manager Zeller was the only one who opposed it. TRINITY AT MIDDLETOWN.

Bannon with .917 continues his hold as the best goal tend in the league, although Tocchio is nine points ahead, but as the latter has had but 94 chances against the veteran's 5,291 no comparison can be made.

The grand list of the town has been raised $169,472 last year, making a grand total of $2.610,299 which, with the tax as levied will meet all the current expenses of the town unless some unexpected contingency arises. The committee, which was appointed at the annual meeting to look into the matter of placing the selectmen on a salary basis instead of per diem as at present, made its report. F. N. Taylor, chairman, reported that the committee recommended that the selectmen be placed on a salary basis.

receiving for their compensation the following amounts: First selectman is chairman of the board and town agent, $450 per annum; the other two memberg of the board $100 per annum each. The report, however, met with but little favor on the part of the voters, as they were of the opinion that competent men would not accept the offices at such remuneration and on 8 motion which was offered by ex-Selectman Albert E. Phelps it was unanimously, voted to table the report indefinitely. Selectman Charles B. Searles asked for information concerning calling of a special town meeting for the purpose securing state aid of $10,000 in building roads.

This, however, could not be acted upon at this meeting, but many voiced their opinions on the subject. W. B. Cary said that he would prefer that the roads remain the they are at present and let the autos go up the east side of river if the roads were to be built the same way as some of the state roads have been.
