Altizer, at present, is under suspension for the non-pay- ment of a $10O fine for assaulting Um- pire Kennedy. As Altizer refused to pay the fine, and the Meriden club did likewise, he has been on the bench and recently took his departure for Philadelphia.

At Hartford.

Hartford, June 24.-Hartford and
 Springfield ball players have been deadly enemies for years and both teams yesterday fought hard for the game. Umpire Mulcahy was involved in row a good part of the time and 6e did not add to his popularity in the bleachers. He gave all his close decisions against the Hartford team and two on first looked to be pretty raw. The decisions were close ones and there was no robbery about them. Mulcahy permitted the players of both teams to argue too much with him and the game was prolonged by useless wrangling. There was a de lay of ten minutes over the question of the number of balls called upon a Springfield batsman. Connors was

Hartford had four runs when Springfield went to bat ill the sixth. Springfield scored six times and Foxen was pulled out and Parkins substituted. Hartford tied the score in her half of the sixth and Treat was yanked out and Cy Miller sent in. There the score re- mained. In the eleventh with the score to 6, Mulcahy called 1t off. The score.

 After the cnange there was much discussion among the players and the followers of base ball. Neither Eitz- patrick nor Dowd is censured even slightly. Both have armies of friends There is dissatisfaction and the Hol- yoke owners are brought into discus sion.

ger Kennedy agreed to do nothing un- til he saw Dan in the afternoon, and at the close of the game the deal was fixed up. Altizer's release was bought, nearly $500 changing hands,. Part of this will probably be used in raising the suspension, as it is understood Altizer is willing to go half way. Al tiger is undoubtedly fine player. He is clever infielder and can play sec ond, short or third in good fashion. He has been hitting at over 300 most of the season, but when suspended had dropped to the 291 mark The only trouble with him is that he is q dtsturber. Manager O'Neil, however, expects no trouble with him in this direction, and in fact, will not stand for any funny business. Just where he will play Altizer, Dan has not de- cided. He does not not expect him to join the team. for several days.

ed in this form: "Do it today" That
is the terse advice we want to give
you about that hacking coug or de-

have been struggling for several
days, perhaps weeks. Take some re-
liable remedy for it today-and let
that remedy be Br. Boschee's Ger

for over thirty-five years. A few
doses of it will undoubtedly relieve
your cough or cold, and it's contin-
ued use for few days will cure you

go hand in hand. just so long can
the people expect the streets to re-
