 The New London Day has issued a very neat pamphlet containing the schedule for this season. It is very handy and accurately arranged.
 Catcher OrConnor. who has made a fine showing with Hartford in. the practice games, may wear 8 Portland, Me. uniform in the New England league this season. Billy Parsons. the polo magnate, will manage the Port land club.-Hartford Post.
 It is a very fortunate thing for Man. cger Connor that he did not order his players to get here before next week, as they would be forced to lie idle around the hotels and boarding houses. There has not been much chance to practice so far this season.
 The American Graphaphone B. B. town. for Saturday afternoons and holidays, would like to hear from other uniformed teams. Address A. B. Bel cher. manager, No 1165 Broad street, Bridgeport, Conn.,
 It must make Jim Hart of the Chica- go National league team feel rather blue to see the big crowd that turned out to see the American league open ing game yesterday. It was a stormy day yet 5000 fans crowded into the grounds to see the opening game.
 Next Wednesday the local players for this season will report for prac- tfce and it will soon be discovered wlio arc the men that will be retained. In all probability Manager ConnoT will carry twelve men this season, and he has some pretty good talent to select from.
 Let us hope that when the time comes for the opening of the State league that we will not be greeted with the unfavOrable weather condi- tlons which have fallen to tho lot of the National. American and now the Eastern league teams The bad wealth CT ought to end by the last of this month.

DAVE SULLIVAN sTocKHoLDER.

Much curiosity has been expressed as to the continued stay ill Louisville of David Sullivan. Immediately after the death of the Horton law Sullivan went south, and with the exception of one visit north has practically made Louisville his home Any time a box ing bout took place Sullivan was quite apt to be one of the contestants, and while he has received several good drubbings, yet not a decision has been rendered against him. Tn fact, it has to be understood that it was difficult matter to get the best of the Corkonian in that neck of woods. Broad and Callahan who have both beaten Sul- livan in the north, tried their luck in Louisville, and assert they received un- fair treatment at the hands of the referee. Both boxers have refused to fight Sullivan in that city again. The manager of number of boxers threw some light On the mystery by the as sertion that both Dave and his brother Spike Sullivan are stockholders in the Southern Athletic club. This, If the fact, might explain Sullivan's success in his matches before, that organiza- ton. A fighter who was d stockhold- CT in club would hardly consent to go into the ring without assurance that his interests would be looked after. And a referee, whose salary was paid in part by a boxer, would naturally feel some sense of obligation to the fighter. While 1t is not an easy mat ter to secure positive proof of the as- sertion, yet the information was vouchsafed by man who has been long and favorably connected with pugilism, and whose boxers have com peted at Louisville under adverse cir cumstances. The athletic club of Louisville may be sincere and entire ly just, but if it has allowed a fighter to become a stockholders in the club

 It is now claimed that Billy Smiths death was due to the administration of drugs in his corner. According 10 the story in circulation, the bout was arranged as a victory for Roberts, who was to have won after 9 number of fast rounds. Those who had inside information are said to have plunged so heavily on Roberts that Smith de- cided on a double cross. The reports of the fight agree that Smith had the best of the opening rounds. It is charged that Roberts's packers, feeling apprehensive, managed to have Smith drugged. While the latter was rem dered sick the dose was not strong enough, and Smith still retained his strength and ability. Then the story proceeds to detail the rage of the back CTS of Roberts, who in order to save their money, gave more drugs to Smith in the seventh round. After this dose he IS reported to have collapsed, and fell before the heavy blows of Rob erts. Roberts and his seconds, A. B. Bettinson, manager of the National Sporting club, and J. B. Angle, ofti- cial referee, have been placed under arrest. 1t is asserted that sensational disclosures will be made at the in- quest. Friends Nof Roberts scout the idea of any fraud or. drugs. Then point out that Smith was never any thing more than a second rate boxer, who had never beaten good man. Oll the other hand, Roberts, by his defeat of Will Curley, has proven himself to be first class featherweight. Roberts is not clever boxer, but is a very hard hitter and can take punishment. The club officials assert that no drugs were administered, and that Roberts, a hot favorite, won so decisively it is foolish to talk of fraud. They insist that while Smith boxed cleverly for three rounds, there was no question as to the result when Roberts cut loose. It is the opinion of the club officials that Smiths death was due to concus- sion resultant on his head striking the floor.

Diamond Robbery.

Salt Lake City. Jan. 1.-Two OF the
boldest crimes recorded in tho police an
nails of this city we're committed within
the heart Of the business district last
evening by three of the gang Of desper-
ADDE'S that now infest the city. Under
the bright glare Of electric lights, before
the eyes of passing pedestrians and
policemen, a desperate robber crashed in
the window OF jewslry store in the
preserce OF the proprietor, stole about
800 worth Of diamonds and after shoot
ing at his pursuer. made good his escape
with his booty.
Almost at the same time and but
three blocks away, two highwaymen in a
buggy were relieving a pedestrian Of his
money at the point Of revolver. They
then drove away and made their escape.
These crimes, 80 boldly committed,
prove that band OF highwaymen OF the
most desperate stamp are aocking to the
city prepared to reap harvest during
the coming stock convention. The
police department is alarmed by the sit.
uation and Chief Hilton has applied to
the police committee last night for an
additional ten men, who will likely be
placed in service next week.

When Washington and his army
lay at Valley Forge that dreadful
winter, without shoes and Insults
cient clothing, the British were
more sure that they had all the
spirit of the American revolution
crushed from the patriot army,
than they now have that they have
forever destroyed the power OF the
men OF the Boer republic. But the
British officers and statesmen did
not reckon with a power which was
infinite and which Washington and
Jefferson and the great spirits OF the
Revolution were willing to say was
behind them, forever holding up
their hands and hearts to keep
them from total despair. Is the

ARE UNPATRIOTIC.

A Philadelphia paper which al,
lows all its thinking to be done by
the administration, pronounces as
unpatriotic and traitors those sena>
tors who oppose the cut and dried
army bill. This is long step in
proof of the very contention made
by those who object to this un>
American measure. 1t demonstrates
that the administration has resolved
itself into the essence OF power, and
in assuming to dictate new and ut>
terly foreign policies, will not rec
ognize opposition or an honest diff
ference in opinion. In the main,
those senators who have opposed
the army bill have done so because
the idea of large standing army is
repugnant to American principles
and institutions and not because
they did not wish to aid the gov>
ernment in bringing to an end the
unhappy condition in the Philip
pines. The assumption by this
Philadelphia paper that one who
honestly opposes the imperialist
tendencies OF the republican party
is unpatriotic and traitor to his
country, is the veriest balderdash.
On the contrary, he who opposes,
by every means at his command
the Infamous policy of saddling
this country with standing army
of one hundred thousand men, is
the purest Of patriots, even though
the administration and its tools de-
claim against so proper an exer>
else of liberty and free speech

There is a very grave question

There is very grave question
confronting labor in this country
and especially railway labor. There
is no question whatever, although
it was sprung during the campaign
to endeavor to influence labor to
vote the right way, that the great
trusts of the country propose to
lop off great portion of the labor
now used in conducting the great
railway systems of the country.
Five hundred thousand is the
number which it is said will be re-
lieved from employment, if the
ideas of the great railway magnates
are put in practice. This is an inns
mense army, and had its votes and
its influence been cast for Bryan,
they would not go about now in
fear and trembling for their jobs.
The trusts are bound to increase
their robber profits. They don't
propose to stop at any little threat.

place your foot on the other and hold it
almost perpendicularly and allow the
ball to slide down: you can cause 1t to
stop instantly ny simply drawing the

slackening 1t the ball will again slide
down the rope. In this way the ball
can be made to walk few inches and
then stop and then to go on again. by
