New Haven, Sept 2-The magnifi-
cent weather of the past two weeks, In
which the last holiday of the season
was included, has been a material aid
TO the managers of the Connecticut
baseball league, both from a financial
standpoint and because it has allowed
the clubs. to catch up on their sched-
ules. Only nine postponed games
and one tie remain upon the unplayed
list with all chances favoring the play
ing off of these during the next two
weeks. A continuation of the good
weather will be a Godsend to the
clubs, for in past seasons the closing
week of the season has been a losing
one on account of the cold, raw tenn
perature. This season the experiment
of extending the season a week can be
made successful only by having wealth

py seats upon the stands without be-
