 The Elks team has gone into debt to the tune of $500 and Manager Du- rant has been asked to give them a Sunday game with division of the receipts. The Elks would be good drawing card with Eddie Carmody in the box. Carmody is not yet a mem Der but his application Is in. If Manager Durant is willing the game could be arranged for August 16, the week the Elks league concludes work. The team would draw better than some of the state leaguers at that, for many Elks would come from other cities to see the champions stack up against Waterbury.

THE SLATE IS
 STILL UNSOILED
Waterbury Trimmed Hartford Yes terday-Manager Durant Give
 Them a Game.

Once more did the Waterbury Elks' base ball team demonstrate the fact that there is no other lodge in the state that has any license with them on the ball field. They have gone down the line now beating every team in the league and ye5ter- day they administered the second trimming to Hartford on the latter's own field. It was expected that Hartford would give the locals a bet ter game than they did, but it was all off as soon as the batters of the Waterbury team. began to work the sticks. My, how they did swat it out, and 1t was a hot day, too, for run ming bases. Every man on the team got in one or more safe drives and some of them were screamers. They batted so hard that Coggshall, who was on the firing line for Hartford, was finally retired and Dutton was sent up. For an inning or two he had things his own way, but the To- calls touched him up for few and scored up a few more runs, just to show that he was not the whole cheese. Jim O'Connell was on the firing line for Waterbury for six in- nings and six hits were all that Hart ford was able to accomplish and not a run scored. As the game was we'll sewed up. Frank Bergen was sent up in the seventh to take his place, and he, too, was effective up to the last Inning. It looked like a shut out when some of the Hartford stickers found Frank for three or four hits and the result was three runs. Wa terbury was well satisfied, however, to get away with the game, particu- larly after being warned that they were due for a trimming.
 The Hartford Courant in speaking of the game said of two of the old timers the following:
 The finest work of the afternoon was performed by the former Nation al leaguers, Roger Connor and John M. Henry. The latter was not quite as fresh as usual owing to the hard game he played with the city officials at Morris Cove, but Connor was in great condition and played the bag with all his old time skill. The old mans eyesight is not as good us it was in the last century and he did not get hit until the last time he was up. Henry had a number of hard catches and to get some of the throws that Burns and Dutton heaved at him 1t would have been necessary for him to have had arms about fifty feet long" The score:

 London, July 24.--Cringing under the sting of seeing Great Britain led to the tape by two feeter Yankees in the final heat of the 400 meter run at the Olym- pic games. the English judges cried !

 Lauder should know better than to stand and argue with Red Rorty. If he had been put out of the game in the eighth inning yesterday it would have caused such a shift In the team that the game might have been lost. And Red generally bounces for less reason than Billy furnished yester- day.
 The Tri-state league directors have taken over the Wilmington club and will keep it intact for the rest of the season. The clubs troubles were not on account of poor patronage but because of poor bus mess management. Other clubs drawing smaller attendance are in a healthy financial condition.

LOCAL MEN IGNORED
Brewers Kendall and Fresenius Get Important National
 Offices.

Connecticut was highly honored at the national convention of the brewers at Milwaukee during the past week. its representatives securing two of the highest honors accorded by the meet Ing The principal of these went to N. W. Kendall of the Yale Brewery Co.,, who was elected honorary president of the National association. The other was the election of Henry Fresenius of the Fresenius brewery to the executive committee. Thus not only Connecti- cut but New Haven was recognized by the delegates who were present from all over the country.
 The convention according to the re- ports of the local delegates was ban ner one from every standpoint. Aside from the business 1t was one round of pleasure, but although Milwaukee presents many fine features the Con necticut men were unit that there Is still no place like the Nutmeg state even though 1t has not the excise priv leges enjoyed, and by the way appre- ciated, by the convention city. Tho par ty, wives daughters and all who went from here had a fine time but were glad to get back again after about as strenuous a ten days as It's members had ever spent.
 The convention this year was with out doubt the most important ever held by the brewers. The prohibition move- ment, aided and abetted 1t was admit ted by the actions of the lower class saloonkeepers was serious considera- ton and the utmost resources had to be talked over to bring the business back to It's former standpoint. This was capably cared for as the press of the country has been heralding for some days past.
 The trip homeward for the Connecti- cut delegation and members of other New England states was a hummer After leaving Milwaukee, in anticipa. ton of rest homeward the party, l6 delegates in number was held up at Chicago by delegation of about 100 business men of that city. For two days 1t made the party keep on the jump showing them all over the Windy Metropolis from tho Stock Exchange down to the Red Light district. Ban quet after banquet was held and at thu biggest one both Mfr. Kendall and Sec
 retary r. w. Orr of the Connection party made speeches. The trip home ward opened with such a spirit that despite the invitation. of the Chi cagoans to remain over to the repub. lIcan convention the party decided tha discretion was the better part of valoi and came home.
