 Waterbury. July 14.-Jim O'Rourke's constantly changing Orators. tailend- CTS of the second division, and Mike Rockville InvincibIes, tail enders of the division ahead, were the contenders in yesterdays session on the local lot and both succeeded in making their position more secure Waterbury finishing up on the heavy end of a 5-to3 score. The crowd was much nelow :he average, due no doubt to the position the Orators. occupy in the race, but the few fans who were out lwere2t treated to one of the prettiest games of the season. The Orators on several occ asions have shown flashes or championship form and they surely showed some great baseball yesterday after a disastrous first inning when Waterbury secured an apparently safe lead.
 It was a case of Waterbury starting off like runaways and finishing up the other innings at top speed to hold the advantage which had been gained From the third inning tc the ninth the battle developed into a pitching duel between Sandy Bannister. who relieved McGarry with one down in the third and Eddie Nolte of the visitors.
 The fielding gems were contributed by Steinhauser who pulled in a drive by Bronkie near the right field line III the Iourtn, saving at least pair of runs, and Miller of the visitors who made bare hand catch of a foul fly by Swander close to the third base wall in the eighth. Bronkie's fast work on Schrnalz's bunt in the sixth one-hand catch by Chief Miller, three fast double plays, two by the visitors and one by the home team, and the fielding of Nolte are also worthy of mention. Eddie Swander carried off the bingle honors with trio of healthy smashes.

ROOSEVELT PARTY E ALLAYS THIRST IN
 POOL OF WATER
By Warrington Dawson, Staff Corrs spondent of the United Presso

 Natvasha. British East Africa, July a4-Although. both President Roosevelt md Kermit together with the other members of the Roosevelt party today are laughing at their experiences oi the last few days. 1t is known that the party was in peril all during Its Journey zto Lake Attendborough.s when they suffered from lack of water. In my dispatches of Monday told Of the hurried trip to the Attendborough es- tats ofR J. Cunninghame, the English guide with the Roosevelt party. Col pnel Roosevelt is inclined to minimize his, danger but those who have cOn1e late; where the Roosevelt party is now hunting, declare the party was in dire heed of food and water.
 While hunting in the direction of the JAttendborough estate to which he had been invited, Colonel Roosevelt with all his porters and gun bearers reached Camp Plains last Saturday night com plefely worn out. The water supply of the entire party was completely ex- austed and the food was running low. In the terrible heat men and beasts needed water badly. Judge their dis may when they reached Camp Plains to find that the pool at which they ex- pected to secure water for themselves
 1t was too late for the party to push onward and the men and beasts were too fired even had 1t been practicable to go on toward water. Pitching camp Saturday night the members of the party set out in all directions in the gain hope of finding a pool from which enough water could be secured to tide them .sover.s | The search was fruitless and the 1nernbers of the party with parched throats were compelled to go thirsty. Sunday was a typical hot day in East Africa but there was no rest for the Roosevelt party which had to hurry on to water. It was then that CHnninghame travelling light and accompanied by a few natives separ- ried on into the Attendborough estate to secure water and hurry back to the party Colonel Roosevelt and his larger party followed more slowly and for a time it seemed they must spend another day under the stifling African sun without water, or at least until Cunninghame should return.
 Fortunately late Sunday afternoon before Cunnfnghame returned the Roosevelt party came upon a pool from which they could get drinking water. There was a. hurried halt while the porters built fires, and though the members of the party and the porters felt they were almost famished Colonel Roosevelt would not permit them to drink until the water had been boiled. while the members of the party were not in actual danger of death they suffered considerable inconvenience and pain from thirst.
 Today Colonel Roosevelt laughs at the experience.r--.
