G. B. Hubbell, president of the Hartford (Ct.) club, has in his possession a miniature bat made of Charter Oak and tipped with a diamond, which became his property at the time of the disbanding of the old Charger Oak club of that city, of which organization he was the president. The bat had been held by that club as the State championship trophy. Mr. Hubbell intends to present the bat to the Hartford amateurs, and a series of games is to be played for the possession thereof of the several amateur clubs of the State, the one winning the trophy to be recognized as the champions.
