We are still in it.
Another errorless game for the Elm City boys
It was close shave, but miss is as good as a
mile.
That Harrisburg club is making great record for
playing close games.
A large crowd ought to witness the game to-day
and give the team good send on.
OF all the new players signed by Hartford this
year. Stallings has proven to be the most valuable
Doran pitched Q wonderful game yesterday, and
proved himself to be star of the first magnitude.
Baby Miller was up to his old tricks again yes
terday New Haven only sized him up for three
hits, but it was enough to win.
TED Sullivan said at the opening of the season
that Phillips would prove to be the star pitcher OF
the association. That is another one on Ted.
The two Staffords are doing remarkably good
work for Worcester and are being worked harder
than any other two pitchers in the association.
campop the sor first is
ball hard and often and is puroining the bases in
great shape.
Big Jim Fields does not seem to be hitting the
ball as hard this season as he was last. His long
hits the right felders head have not shown up
this season.
Jones of the worcesters, who started in the sea.
auspiciously by knocking out three and four
hits every game, Is finding it hard work to get in
little single of late.
SY Is mot Showing up as good
expected. His fielding has been only fair and his
| batting very weak.
werrick is the highest saaried player in the asso-
third baseman, but he has been clever enough to
receive large salary whenever he has played.
Sullivan told Gleason the other day to 60 up and
kick Of Kelley s decisions. Kelley heard him
tell Gleason and when the ''old man" made a kick
Kelley fined him S25. Then Teddy went into an
other convulsion.
Harrisburg has two colored players on the team,
Grant and Williams. The former lost the first VIII
mington game by a wild throw and the latter lost
the game the next day by a bad tumble. Manager
Durham brought out Grant several years ago
when he was managing the Meriden team.
One thing which the Batimores should try and
that thew are t6s oniy team of anV aecount IN M
| association. Powers, ''Raddy" Mack and one or
two other members of the team imagine that wheE
they are in the game everybody else is out of it.
and that the umpire must give In to them in every
decision. Everyone realizes that they are good
ball players, but the sooner they come down of
their high perch and play ball as gentlemen should
the better 10 will be for them.

THE ELM TREE PEST.
A Suggestion That May Prove of
Great value.

A Suggestion That May Prove OF
Great value.
The elm tree beetle, which has been work.
ing destruction in the states of New York
and New Jersey, is working its way toward
this state. Various suggestions for the cure
of the trouble have been made. among which
is to shower the trees affected with London
purple. A mixture of paris green in waite.
will also, it is said, destroy the pests.
A professor at Yale college is quoted az
saying that most of the trees will easily sur
vive such damage as the beetle can inflict
upon them this, the first season, and that It
is now too late to apply an effectual remedy
80 far as this season is concerned. He objects
especially to scraping the trees at this time,
which he says is liable to do far more harm
than good. The trouble must be dealt with
early next spring, and the method which ex-
perience has shown to be at once the most
simple, inexpensive and efficient is to place
around each tree trunk what may be termed
a poultice, about ten or q dozen inches wide.
and consisting of salt hay thoroughly satu.
rated in a mixture of fish oil and printers
ink (the coet ct the cheapest grades is about
ten cents pound. This band or sspoulticen
is kept in place by strap of muslin tackled
around the bottom edge and left sufficiently
open at the top to afford opportunity for re-
satursting with the compound from time to
time as may be needed to keep the hay in
moist and sticky condition. This device. Il
is said, offers an impossible barrier to the
beetle and effeetually protects the tree from
further damage through their means.

Roger Mack Is Dead,

DANHURY, July 28.-Roger Mack, who at
tempted suicide last night, died this morning
at three o'clock. The bullet lodged in his
stomach. Mack had led q convivial life of
late years, and drink became his ruin. He
was at one time in Ballou's drug store, New
Haven. Mr.. Mack was thirty-four years of
age and unmarried. He served his appren-
ticeship in the drug business with F. 8.
Stevens, Bridgeport, when the latter was To-
Gated on State street, adjacent to the post
Office. Afterward he was partner with F.
Stahl in carrying on the drug store in Wall
street, Bridgeport, of which ]. d. Lutz is
now the proprietor. Subsequently he worked
in Birmingham and New Haven, and for
about two years past has been in the employ
of Stratton & Go. in Danbury. He was their
head clerk, and they held him in high regard.
His relatives in Bridgeport are John Mack
and two married sisters. Both his parents
are dead.

BY THE POLICE.
Petitions for Semi-M0nthly Fay.
AeUt0.

Petitions for Semi-Monthly Fay.
nentS.
Two petitions were drawn up by the menu
bers of the police department late yesterday
afternoon. One asked for semi-monthly
payments for the department and, the other
asked for payments monthly as is the prae-
tice at present. The first received thirty
nine signatures during the evening, while
that asking for monthly payments has not as
yet received single name. This last PEI
tition was drawn up simply as a matter of
form. It has been said that the members of
the department were afraid to sign their
names to petition asking for q change in
The pay day. The two petitions were
framed by those most interested in the move
IN order that all may place themselves upon
one aide Of the fence or the other. The en-
tire department Is interested in semi-month-
" payments, and the adverse petition will
probably receive no signatures. Those who
have already signed the petition for semi
monthly payments criticise quite severely
those who hesitate to sign the petition.
They consider that every man who desires
the proposed change should assert himself
souarely upon his side Of the question. The
Measure will probably be adopted by the
common council as II win make but little
extra work for the city authorities.

The "good thing" that was supposed to
have no limit in Lochinvar seems to be
fading away in the distance. It brings to
mind little story of well known horseman
of Hartford who sometimes invests dollar
on his favorite. He liked Lochinvar when
he paced at Charter Oak park and bought a
pool or two on the result. The winnings
were placed in an envelope and laid away
In the safe. The gentleman was one of
the favored few who were hidden to come
to the Lochinvar feat at Philadelphia and
he had determined to reinvest the snug pile
that he made here, and expected to bring
home pretty much all the loose money that
might be lying about the track. Horsemen
remember the disappointment that awaited
the Hartford party. Lochinvar won one heat
and that settled him for the race-he went
all to pieces, so to speak. The subject Of this
paragraph made ready to take In the affair,
which he supposed was down for Wednes-
ant to see about his train connections, he
was surprised to learn that the race was
booked for that day and he was ont of it, as
1t was impossible for him to reach the field
of action. Next morning he learned of the
dump. Going quietly to the safe he unseal-
ed the Loohinvar envelope, took therefrom
the few hundred dollars that had been ex-

Mrs. Sarah J. Bowler Of Hartford, widow
of the late Joseph Bowler of that city, has
brought suit against George w. Pomeroy, the

There was quite serious accident at

owned by Michael Gay of that place were
killed by the Guilford accommodation which
il due there at 1926 p. m. The animals had
been turned loose to feed by the roadside, a.
Is done in that locality quite frequently, and
gradually they worked their way close to the
track. When the cars came along they were
frightened and started down the track, but
were no match for the train. The engine
struck both of the horses square and made
frightful work, killing them almost instant
