THE DIAMOND EASY SAILING
 FOR LOCALS New Haven Scored Just Once and That One a Homer-All
 Other Games.

New Haven, Aug 15--It took Wa terbury comparatively short time to finish the New Haven team at Savin Rock yesterday. The boys from Wa terbury jumped into the game head first. They made New Haven work harder than they have worked for many a day. They kept New Haven jumping around the field like lot of school boys until New Haven was tired out. New Haven was all in and was only too glad when the dear old ninth came so they could hit the hay pile for good nights rest. One notice able feature at the grounds yesterday was that the New Haven rooters sat up and strained their breathing capac- ity for the Waterbury team. Then to add to the farcical event the bleacher- ties threw out all kinds of unpleasant expressions at the local members and never forgetting during the contest to refer to the genial manager, Cornelius J. Danaher.
 Waterbury landed on the only sound spot on New Ravens anatomy and they are still outside the gates doing the Lazarus act New Haven did not travel hard enough to win, however, because a pitcher named Bronkie was in the way. He was wild in spots, but caused the Brownies to bat just about the size of their hats. But for some unknown reason Sam Kennedy in the seventh inning, lifted one of Bronkie's curves over tue left field fence, and by so doing scored New Ravens only run. And it was home run too, because it struck the top of the fence and bounded over.
 O'Rourke's sensational catches in nearly every inning was the real and most interesting feature of this con- test. With two men on bases in the eighth he destroyed New Havep's chances by leaping in front of Kenne- dy's blistering bounder and tossing him out at first, In the sixth inning he retired the whole side. stopping three hot grounders. which were meant for hits, and shooting them to La chance. Candy" Lachance played a remarkable game at first. He pick ed up everything that was tossed any where near him on the ground or in the air. Mike Lucia held the batting honors. getting two of Waterbury's six bingles.
 An exhibition of Bronkie's steadiness with men on bases or New Ravens inability to connect with men on bases, was plainly exhibited in the ninth. Sherwood bit bounder in 0'Rourke's s direction, but the ball leaped over the shortstop's head and out into left Held. Wade pushed another in 0'Rourke's direction and died to Lachance, Shcr. wood going to second. Bronkie had another stage of wildness and passed Betcher. Bunyan flied to Fitzpatrick and Fitzpatrick and Lachance made easy work of Corcoran's grasser and New Ravens hopes were vanished. The score: ~ lsi9b

sEMI-PRoF GAMES.
Manchester Beat Bristol and Rock.
 vile Whipped Danbruy.

Bristol, Aug 15.-The Manchesters came here yesterday with new pitcher, Poole, and were going to do all kinds of things to the locals, but the latter fell on the visitors latest acquisition with the greatest enthus- iasm, got eleven runs in the first two innings and pounded him out of the box. Manchester wasn't in it at all with that handicap. A big crowd came over with the Manchester team, but they didn't find much to whoop 1t up for. After Poole was knocked out Conroy went in and Bristol didn't score again until the ninth. The wis., itors' runs came one at time, in the first, second and eighth. By the locals winning this game the series be- comes still more interesting, as each now has won two. The score:

 Colin was packing l27 pounds and giving away anywhere from two to fifteen pounds to every horse in the race. on well. Miller waited. and when Jim Gaffney finally caught his stride sent the colt after him. and they raced heads apart to the stretch.
 Colin then went to the front. and after that there was no doubt as to what the result would be. The Keene horse was going easy enough at the end to win by two lengths.
 He was held at the prohIbitive odds of to & and very few people played him. Jim Gafney was we'll supported for the place and show and finished four lengths in front of Ben Fleet. the third horse. The winners:

 Nothing that the combined heads of the patresfamilias. not to leave un- mentioned the matresfamilias, of the two respective houses, could conceive had been overlooked. "a Only the little magic ring was wanting. rr
 And that arrived on the second day before the wedding. and with it q pearl and diamond necklace, and some jewelry that the bridegroom intended to present to the bridesmaids.
 George We'll examined the little ring, and read again and again the minute lettering within the golden cir cle-his own name and that of his little bride.
 Then he repaired to her house. But first he slipped the ring into his waist coat pocket For on no account" had said the girl that soon would be his. must you let me see my wedding ring before we are married-it Is sure to bring bad luck" Silly little child" !" hs had replied at the time.

 A look of consternation spread over the mans face. The ring had van ished.
 As. blaming his carelessness. he re- lated his story, be saw a tear fall down the girls now pale cheeks.
 She was superstitious. This much he well knew. But to be filled with so much fear over the loss passed his comprehension.

houses. When dried and ground it
looks very much like dark-colored
wheat shorts. In the four expert
ments 100 pigs were used. Of the
results of these experiments E. A.
Burnett of the station, says: In these
experiments the cost has always been
lessened by the use of per cent
tankage along with corn, or pounds
of tankage for each 95 pounds of corn
This would 0e equivalent to 2S0
pounds of tankage for each 100 bush
els of corn fed. In experiment III.
the cost of the gains was lessened 6S
cents per 100 by the addition of
per cent. tankage, while in expert
ment II. the tankage lesssened the
cost of gains only 16 cents per 100
pounds, but made corn pay out 20
cents per bushel more than where fed
without tankage. In experiment. l.,
tankage lesseneG the cost 21 cents per
100 pounds. The hogs in experiment
| were in a dry lot. In experiment
II. they were on alfalfa pasture. In
experiment III. they were also on pas
ture. Experiment ". is test of the
breaking strength of the bones of
the leg in pigs which had been fed
upon corn alone, corn with 25 per
cent shorts, corn with 10 per cent
tankage, and corn with 10 per cent
ground bone. The tests indicated
that both the ground bone and the
-tankage were greatly increased in the
breaking strength of the bone in the
animal so fed

The sharp controversy between
Prof. Cyril G. Hopkins of Illinois uni
versity and Prof Whitney OF the bu-
reau of soils of the agricultural de-
Dartment over the question of soil
fertility has created widespread inter
est. Prof Whitney contends that ma
nures do not benefit soils, and Prof
Hopkins takes direct issue with his
theory of the inexhaustibe fertility OF
the soil. Wouldn't be bad idea for
the government to publish Prof Hop
kins' recent address at Washington as
an appendix to the bulletin of Prof.
Whitney on Soil Fertility. Then the
farmer could read both sides and take
his choice of theories.
The international live stock show at
Chicago this year outdid all other
shows in several respects. First in
matter of attendance. Last year the
100000 mark was passed and This
year it reached 100000. A second
notable fact was that this year holds
the record for the highest price ever
paid for a car load of cattle at one
of these exhibits, $17 per 100 pounds
This sum was secured by Funk Broth
ers of Shirley, ILL.,, for two-year-old An
gus steers averaging 1,438 pounds
which were sold to the New York
Butchers Dressed Meat company.
When the cash prizes won by these
steers was added to the sale price
they net the feeders $4291.90. A not
able feature of the show was the dis
play of fat stock by the agricultural
colleges. which clearly demonstrated
that these institutions are educating
a new generation of feeders. The
Kansas agricultural college won the
championship for two-year-old Short
Horn, and the Minnesota college had
the best Angus steers. The colleges
did well in the exhibits of steers, Kan
sas and Minnesota being most fortu-
nate.
