THE DIAMOND.
Ban Johnson Has the Big League Bee in His Bonnet

So Says the President of the National
 League-The American League
 President Seems to Hold the Whip
 Hand Once More-No Games in the
 Connecticut League Yesterday.
 Rain caused the postponement of all games in the Connecticut league yes terday. ...
 The American league gaines in Bos- ton and Detroit, the National league games at Cincinnati and Pittsburg, and the Eastern league games Wor- cester, Newark and Providence were postponed yesterday on account of rain.
 It is said by Eastern league papers that Arlie Lathom does not look as spruce as in the days when he was the leading exponent of comedy on the ball field, but he still has activity and street raiment that suggests the ponies.
 Pitcher Klobedanz is reported to be willing to get back into the game in the New England league and work hard. It is his aversion to labor that lands him in the minor league ranks. More energy on his part, it is believed by many who have watched his work, would show him capable of holding his own in thesbig@ company still.
 Norman Elberfeld, the shortstop the New York American league team oD- tained from Detroit in exchange for Long and Courtney and a bonus, yes RoY. +@s" nro3 1ih Elberfe1d will take part in. his first game with the Highlanders to-day against his old club, and Long and Courtney probably will be seen in De troit uniforms. The batteries for to- days game will be-: New York-Ches- >bro and O'Connor; Detreit-Donovan and McGuire.
 Hartford now has as good a brace of twirlers as can be found in the league.
 Stalling was also signed my Mana ger Reilly. Battam is expected to be in the game to-day. O'Brien will move to short and Donovan is slated to play right field.
 Rowen, the man who did the trick, has been signed by Manager Reilly for the season and everybody believes the team has made great find. The next home game will be with Bridgeport next Wednesday and Rowen is slated to pitch. Bantam Williams will serve the ball in the afternoons game.
 Tom Reilly has hit upon new plan. His scheme is to start game at 6:15, following the game begun at the usual hour. in order to give those people who work up to 6 o'clock chance to get out to the park occasionally and wit ness a game. He will try the plan for game or two somewhere near the latter part of the month, when the days are longer, and if the game is we'll patronized they will be continued as long as they prove successful Hartford Times.

How To Prevent Group.

It win be good news to the mothers
Of small children to learn that Group
can be prevented. The first sign Of
Group Is hoarseness. A day or 10 before
the attack the child becomes hoarse.
This y soon followed by . peculiar
rough cough. Give Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy freeley a. soon as the
child becomes hoarse, or even after
the rough cough appears, and It. will
dispell all symptoms Of Group. In
this way all danger and anxiety may
be avoided. This remedy is used by
many thousands of mothers and has
never been known to fail. 1t il, In
fact, the only remedy that can always
be depented upon and that is pleasant
and safe to take. For sale by all
