 Eddie Nolte again pitched the New Havens to victory at the Savin Rock grounds yesterday afternoon, the Wa terburys falling victims to the tune of 10 to 3. The youngster was inclined to be rather wild, however, one of his bases on balls being turned into a run. The visitors played listlessly, the ab- sence of Harry O'Hagan seeming to have a demoralized effect upon them. It is said the first baseman has jumped to the Tri-State league. Cy Voorhees was in the points for the Brass City aggregation, and, besides being touched up pretty freely, fielded his position poorly. The only features of the game, aside from Nolte's work in the box, were Hannidn's lightning stop of Me- Andrews grounder in the seventh and Thackera's s home run over the left field fence in the ninth, the hit also scoring Hughes, who had reached first on a fine single.
 The score:

TO FEED LEoPARDS IN PUBLIC
Sensation of the Extreme Kind nt the
 White City Tonight.


 White City Tonight.
 As a special favor to the people of New Haven and vicinity Mile. Ora Cecil who is performing this week at the White City with her troupe of fe- rocious leopards, has consented to feed the beasts after the performance to- night in the presence of the spectators and in the big iron cage, Mile Cecil did not wish to do it, but the good na- ture of Manager Speck won her over and as a result the people will be treated to one of the most sensational scenes it has ever been their lot to wit ness.
 People who saw the feeding of Mile. Agies lions last year will remember how terribly interesting it was. The feeding of the leopards is even more so. It is a hair-raising affair and the man. agement in all good faith request women prone to fainting or with weak hearts to forego the excitement, all though physician is to be kept on hand for the rest of the week,
 It must be understood that it is not customary to feed the leopards in the big cage. It is usually done in the single cages, as the beasts fight among themselves with desperate savageness.
 Mile Cecil will not. allow the big leopard in during the feeding as on two former occasions when she has done this he has killed two of the smaller animals, which proved a very great loss to her. Later in the week, she says, she may do this if the feeding tonight is not accompanied by serious results
 Speck's combination ticket bargain this week is a great hit. The ticket will admit you to the White City, to the De | struction of San Francisco, to the seen.

The po- lice complain that they have been bothered by boys stealing rides on freight trains. DePorto was among the boys yesterday morning, and in some way fell in front of the engine. At a late hour last evening he was resting comfortably at the hospital.

girls, and there will be little chance of a problem between your public and your school. Retain reading, writing, and some arithmetic, of course; but teach these as incidental to interesting tasks worth while. This Is my first principle for maintaining the support of the public.
 My second contention is that excel lent work in the schools Is not enough; but that the public must know that the work is excellent. Work sent home by pupils, also visiting days and parents days are not enough; in addition to these I urge the value of the school exhibit. Most of us saw the richness of the exhibit at St. Louis That was very suggestive. If the nation considers it wise to spend so much for national exhibit, why not local exhibit for every school dis ally favor an annual exhibit, open evenings and day time lasting through { graduation week. Let every child be represented. See that the exhibit shows the high water mark of honest pupil accomplishment. Bring in flowers, mu- sic, physical exercises. Open your doors and let the people come in.

At that time Hartford had five runs to her credit and Bridgeport three. But it was officially announced that owing to the fact that Bridgeport was still at the bat when the game was called, the score would revert to the figures at the end of the sixteenth inn ing, which was 3 to 3. No official um- pire appearing, Cornen and Luyster substituted, and later, when the latter was sent into the field, O'Leary took his place. The score by innings:

What May Be the verdict Against Nc
Graw in October.

New York, July 17.-"Jim McGraw
stood pat too long This may be an
October explanation of why the world
champions didn't repeat and win anoth-
er National League pennant.
When Jimmy McAleer. St Louis
American League manager and former
playing star, was talking recently OF
great baseball teams and championship
battles he bluntly confessed that he
had made a mistake in clinging to old
stars too long. The tried and true SEN
timent, always stout in baseball, found
willing advocate in -McAleer. lie
never had the thirst for new blood
until this season.
McAleer has had many of the great
est players individually, but he hasn't
been able to win a pennant- He is now
converted TO the idea of developing
young players. In the nursing of these
youngsters great good is done. Old
players no longer feel themselves too
good to be replaced.
McGraw has always been loyal to his
old pals. When he was with Baltimore
the little manager formed opinions Of
baseball players. These have never
been changed. Any time man asks
McGraW who the greatest inhelder, out
fielder or pitcher of the recent past was,
some former Oriole is almost sure to be
named. Part Of NcGraw's success as
a manager is due to his knack Of pick
ing out good players and never desert
ing them. McGraw's persistency in the
advocacy Ol OAa Ad6diS L1tlPtA Lie
ants win two pennants, because Bow
erinan, Mckann, Gilbert. Donlin and
others of his old associates didn't fail.
This season, when pitchers were pow
erless and DonIin was hurt, the Giants
lost. The real explanation of the world S
champions failure to crush every other
club in the Old league wasn't in the
crippled stars. A glance at the batting
averages, fielding figures and base rum
ming records proves this. Figures don't
tell everything IN baseball, but when a
800 batsman is batting at a .230 clip he
isn't getting on base often enough to
make his speed count.
Some of the Giants have been dress
ing at the Polo grounds so long that
they feel themselves part of the beauti-
full grounds ornaments. A few of the
men have been behaving just SO. Nc
the moves which turned three new men
into the Giant list he broke up his old
system of never forsal5ing a baseball
ideal.
Another great manager dallied too
long with veterans. Jimmy Collins had
a championship team in Boston two
years ago. He chased the ray but will
ing George Stone to st. Louis and gave
McAleer 50, 500 in cash to clinch the
trade for a wornout veteran, Jesse
Burkett- Collins never doubted that
the youngsters might be good some
time. but he wanted men he knew
could do something at once This year
the fruits of the policy show in the
a basement champion. But Collins, too,
has dropped the. seasoned" player idea
and has begun the development of
Youngsters.
