BASEBALL
 NOTES.


 Fred Klobedanz. well known as one of the best sofithpaw pitchers the game ever produced has signed up with Waterbury. He is considered one of the biggest men playing base ball to-day. Kloby broke into the game with Waterbury and from there went to the New England league. He has always ranked among %1e first as a batter. Last season he played with the Boston Americans.
 Chief Kennedy has not announced his umpire staff yet. Wonder will it be like last SeaSon'S? Some of the old time umpires, which the followers of the game around these parts thought bad, are considered the best ever in other leagues. Two polo lea gue umpires will be playing with us this season, Tommy Leahy with New Britain and Mike Doherty with Wa terbury.
 For the first time in the history of organized baseball two clubs will jointly own grounds on which their respective teams will do their prelfm mary spring. practice, if the agreement between the Boston Americans and the Cincinnatis is carried out. The grounds are at Hot Springs, Ark, and were yesterday purchased by Presi- dent Taylor of the Boston Club. He wired the owners of the Cincinnati club that he was ready to close a deal with them for a ten year lease of the r1rOperty

RUSSIA ASKS GREAT
 BRITAIN TO INTERVENE
BOTH COUNTRIES AGREED TO STOP FURTHER FIGHTING
 IN PERSIA
,(snecial from United Press.)

(Special from United Press)
 St. Petersburg, March 1.-The gov ernment has notified Great Britain that Russia can. no longer maintain a passive attitude in regard to Persia and insists that the two governments aodpt the sternest measures to restore peace. The British government is in accord with Russia and the only thing which prevents immediate ac- tion is the inability of the two cabinets to agree on the exact method of rep resentation.
 To-day's reports from the Caspian sea are that Russian vessels are pre- pared to transport 25.O00 troops from Baku to Persian ports as soon as the orders are received. The attack of Persian royaliSts on the villages on the Persian side of the river Araxes, in which hundreds of men, women and children were shot down, has so arous- ed public opinion; that it will be inn possible for the government to refuse to interfere. Reports from official sources agree that the civil war is be- ing prosecuted with the utmost cruelty on both sides and is virtually war of extermination. E

DORANDO RAN BEST RACE OFCAREER
Johnny Hayes Was Game as a Pebble
 But He Was Ournn.
Olympic Winner BIameS Trainers Whose Advice He Said He Had to
 Follow.
(Specail from United Press.)

New York, March 16-There'S joy from Hester street to Capri. Doran- do Pietri's victory over Johnny Hayes is to-day being celebrated by all sons of that region of the Adriatic and much Chiante quaffed to the superior ity of the Italian Marathon runner. All that Johnny Hayes the pride of the Olympic games has to say to-day is that the clip was too fast for him. He said that he had learned his lesson. His race had been cut out for him on schedule time by his trainers
 Next time," said Hayes to-day, "I will run my own race and not Doran-. dos. I was in good condition at the start but the clip was too fast for me. Had I followed my own judgment be- lieve the story of the result would have been different
 But it is declared by the experts to- day that there will probably be noi next time.''
 Dorando. to the mind of nearly all the experts proved that he has be- come after his short running career the most invulnerable sprinter for the ed last night, he was running under full steam, seemed to have world of reserve power and showed no more signs of distress than were apparent after the first few miles. He simply ran Hayes into the earth. The Olympic winner occasionally would re- solve on a sprint to break the heart of the Italian but Dorando was equal to every test and not only led the pace for the greater part of the distance, but pushed out and annexed nearly five laps at different times. the task of overcoming which was not within the power of Hayes.
 The time at the seventeenth mile. 1:3e:22 was the fastest ever covered in a Marathon, and all through the race, records for intermediate distance fell before the speedy batter of Do rando's feet. The time for the finish was 2:4s:o2 four minutes behind the record. which was nr ade in the last Dorando-Hayes match.
 Dorando stock. in the running world has taken a big boost. To-day he is looked upon as a dangerous man for Shrubb, the English speed merchant, in the shorter distances. By April 8, Pietro may be the favorite in the Marathon derby at the Polo grounds where he, Longboat, Hayes and Shrubb do a four cornered marathon to decide championShip class

IF IT DISAPPEARS
 . ITS ECZEMA
How to Tell Whether a Skin Affec- ton is an Inherited Blood Disease or Not,

Sometimes it is hard to determine whether a skin affection is a sign of blood disorder or simply a form of eczema. Even physicians are often puzzled in their diagnosis The best way for any one afflicted is to go to Jennie Hamilton's Pharmacy, or any good druggist who handles pure drugs and obtain. 50 cents worth of poslam. Apply this, and if the itching stops at once and the trouble is cured in few days it may be set down as hav- ing been eczema, as this is the way poslam acts in the worst cases of ecze- ma, and in curing acne, herpes, blotches, letter, piles, salt rheum, rash, barber's and other forms of itch. scaly scalp, and all surface skin affections.
 Those who will write to the Elmer gency Labora tories, No. 32 West Twen- ty-fffth Street, New York, can secure. by mail free of charge, a supply Suffi- cient to cure a small eczema surface or clear complexion overnight and remove pimples in twenty-four hours.
