THE DIAMOND.
City Amateur League Held a
 Session Last Night

Trumbull of Litdhfeld Barred From
 Playing tn the League-Schedule of
 Games for Next unday-Results of
 Games in Other Leagues.
 The managers of the City Amateur league held a meeting last evening. and each Of those sessions seems to grow more interesting as the season draws to a close. There was moTa doing last night than at political ward meeting and the five managers who are now hustling their teams to the front of the race were all watch ing each other to see that no advantage was taken. In the first place came the assignment of games for next sun day. The first game will be called aC o'clock sharp and this time there will be no delay in calling the game, and if there is no mask there the game must go on just the same. The two first teams will be the St Josephs ana the Pastimes It will be remembered that the last time those teams met the Pastimes had a new pitcher named Stratton. He proved to be such mystery that he was declared a ringer and the game went to the St Josepns on a forfeit. The Pastimes threaten to get even on Sunday by putting n pitcher who will again do the St Jos ephs. The second game will ind the Brooklyns and the Merrimacs lighting if out. This is a very important game as a win by the Brook1yns puts them ou even terms with the leaders and win by the Merrimacs will send them close to the top and within speaking distance of the pennant. This game will start promtly at o'clock and per- haps before that time if the first game is finished.
 Trumbull. the Litchfleld pitcher, came in for much discussion. It was re- ported that the St Josephs were to play this twirler and all the other man. agers protested against it. They ar gued that Dan Cook would not be al- lowed to play with the amateurs as he was declared to be professional. and they claimed that Trumbull had pitched base ball all season all over the state and was also a professional. It finally came to a vote and Trumpua was barred from playing in the league. even Manager Leydon, who was to have played him, voting in favor of It when he saw that Trumbull would come Wlrhln the rue DdlAln5 PlUASs sionals
 It is proposed next Sunday to try and put a stop to some of the free ad- missions. To that end ticket sellers will be sent to various points where the people have been wont to climb in over and under the fence and across the river back of the grand stand The league has been to- considerable expense during the season and now when there Is chance to get clear, the public, which has been enjoying free ball all summer, should spend a little to assist the league
 Umpire William Kieley of Nauga- tuck will oficiate again Sunday and that Is saying the games will be played on their merits.
 The North Ends have three new players whom they will spring on the public before the season ends. They Are men. whose names were handed in but have net as yet played.

A CASH TRANSACTION. 5
Minister Didn't Care to Take Chance on What the Bridegroom
 Was Getting.

= 2
 The cautious young man who had tho reputation of having a remarkably good business head went to see the minis ter.
 Whats the cost of getting married?'a he asked, relates the Chicago Post.
 Fer our services,' the minister ana swered, i've make no change, but 1t is-- customary for the groom to give us a fee commensurate with his financial and social standing. We rather expect 1t, you know"
 "But how does the groom know what he's getting for his nnoney?" asked the cautious man.
 That's his business, replied the min~ ister.
 T suppose it's a cash transaction. z
 Why, yes. suppose 1t would coms under that classification |
 "Cou1dn'tI make some other arrange- ment?''
 "Such as what?''i
 Well. suppose we wait a year, ana then will give you whatever find your services have been worth to me--f1ve dol- lars. fifty dollars. a hundred dollars--s maybe more. ]"
 The minister shook his head.
 1T don't believe I'd care to risk 1t. z ha said. "A little matter of five dollars on the wedding day would be more satisfac-1 tory, for In year you might figure 1t ouff that owed you money. Just because you are willing to take chances with some particular girl Is no reason why Ishouldls risk anything on her.

Seven Men Must Be Kept in the Line
 Between the 25-Yard Lines.
 New Haven, June 9.-The football rules committee which held meeting in Philadelphia on Saturday to consid- CT revision of the rules, reached an agreement to make two alterations, ac- cording to a statement given out here last night by Walter Camp, chairman of the committee. Mir Camp said:
 s'We practically agreed to make changes in the rules governing the number of men who are to be kept in the rush line and with regard to the quarterback We will draft a rule for next season which will require that between the two 25-yard lines, from one 25-yard line to the other, seven men will be required in the line. Tn other words, that will prevent mass plays and heavy formations at the cen ter of the field. Inside the 25-yard lines there will be no such require ment The rule may be drafted in different words, of course, but that is the substance of it.
 '@The rules will allow the quarter back in the same section of the field to run with the ball, provided he cross the line of scrimmage at least five yards from where it is put in play Some less important changes also may be made in the rules when they are f. nally drafted"

BIG PETRIFIED STUMP.
One i'm Colorado That Is Twenty Feet in Diameter and Ten Feet
 High.

The petrifed stump of a gigantic redwood tree, which is in an almost perfect state of petrifaotion, is at Florissant. not far from Cripple Creek, Col, says the Wide World Magazine.
 Although numberless people have taken specimens from this stump az gregating many tons, it is still esti- mated to weigh fully 440 tons. To give a better idea of it's size it may be we'll to state that it is 20 feet in diameter and ten feet high.
 There have been many attempts to dig it up and place 1t upon exhibition, the last being scheme to exhibit it at the great exposition at St. Louis in 1904. Owing to its great weight, however, this had to be abandoned, as there are no railway cars capable of carryinganywhere near it's weight.
 What, perhaps, makes it more of a curiosity is the fact that this Rocky mountain region is country of small trees. and that there are no giant redwoods within D thousand miles of this stump which goes to show that nature has changed the entire vegetable growth of this sec tion, as nothing requiring the semi tropical heat of aredwood tree would grow at this altitude now.

 Tonight.


 Tonight.
 New York, June 9.-A pair of great little wrestlers will take to the mat to- night Harvey Parker and George Bothner will grapple for the light weight championship at Sulzer's Har- lem River park. Both are in trim for the tussle, and some rough work is un- der way.
 They are even in the money, and considerable of the useful has been wagered on the chances of each. Bothner made the weight 135 pounds, at which he is to weigh in at the ring side. Parker has been obliged to keep a-going to get down to the mark, but he says he will get there and save his $2oO, which he has posted to guarantee what he says He wants the money to go as a side bet on the match, be- cause he says, he will surely be fe- turned the winner.
 Parker arrived in this city early yes terday from his training quarters at Brockton, Mass. He and his packer, John J. Little, have $2,OO0 which they intend to bet, and will lay odds of 10 to 8 if they cannot do better.
 D. A McMillan of New YorK city, manager of three well known wrestlers, Pardello, Carl Pons and Charles Lion hardt has been in Norwich to challenge Gus Lambert for a bout there. He will agree to match any one of the three with Lambert or any man in the state, barring Dwyer, in 15 minutes or forfeit $25. Inasmuch as Lambert is- sued a challenge at the recent bout he is preferred. To show that the chal- lenge was in good faith. he made de posit of $20 with the Bulletin to carry out his statement. He is also anxious to match one of the men with Prof Dwyer in a catch-as-catch-can bout for the best two in three falls to a finish for $1O0 or S250 side It is expected Dwyer will accept and it is hoped Lambert will.
