HOLMES PROPOSES CHEERS FOR TEAM
 IN HARD PLACES

Sporting Editor Farmer, Sir:-
 We all want to help Bridgeport win the pennant and want to suggest that the right kind of cheering and applause at the remaining games will help perhaps more than any thing else which can be done by those of us who cannot actually play the
 The great trouble with Bridgeport fans is that they usually go crazy with joy and make a loud noise after the needed hit Or run is made or af- ter the game is won, but all too often sit still and silently cuss when the hit or run is needed and the game could often be won by the right kind of enthusiastic support.
 The time to shout and applaud is when the hit or run is needed and before the game is won. I led the cheering for much of the time while in college and we helped win many a. game-as Roy Clark can testify. Our policy was that anyone could cheer after the hit or run was made or the game won but that a real man who really wanted his team to win would cheer when hit or run was needed, would cheer no matter how far his team was behind and would keep it up loyally until the last man was out
 At the latest Waterbury game here two of us tried this, urged the crowd ta get up whenever Bridgeport had chance and fInaIIy stirred up, quite

Timely WaIloping by M'Cann's Men Scored Two and
 the Game

The Mechanics are determined to Aring home that pennant and will make a desperate attempt to annex avery game this week. Yesterday in Hartford they fought gamely winning out over the pitching of Carl. Lund- gren. the former Chicago National, by q 20 score.1 While they were turning the trick thezsW WfitessANings were hu- 1niliRtang She =Has4 slipping Finnegans, thereby decreasing the distance be- tween the leaders and runners up to one and one-half games.
 Reports from Hartford state that the, Mechanics played with loads of ginger to spare and also speak well Of the perfe-mance of '.kshal1Sy'. Cum who held the Champions scoreless; ump Finn called the game In the last of the eighth as it was getting almost too dark to see the ball. Timely pol enth inning brought home the money for the Mechanics. The Hartford Courant says of the game;
 Bridgeport showed two runners across the dish in the seventh inning and these were the only tallies of the game. Ladd opened the round with a single and went to second on Mill Rren's hands and Hi was a victim at third base. Hall slammed the ball to rfzat center for two bases, tsCrook making third on thet nit; - .sWl1n ''n1,oss rm9 that the side would be retired score less. but Kocher put one in right field and the runs came across.

respectable demonstration and per haps helped Bridgeport to win. Many people refused to budge or open their mouth at first and one small boy told me I ought to be in a stable with a mule, but we persevered and finally all went home happy.
 For the remaining games every Bridgeport batter should have a round of applause as he comes to the bat and everybody ought to get up and keep shouting every time Bridgeport has a show for a run. There will be plenty of people to attend to the cheering after the hit or run is made and the game won, what we need is people who will help to win by cheer ing before and while all runs are be- ing made which we need to win the pennant.

They have recovered from their batting slump, the pitchers are going well, and the team is fielding the best of any in the league. Under these conditions by Saturday night the club may be restine in first place, the champions for 1o10

 How unlike a Waterbury crowd is Bridgeport gathering. From the very first ball pitched, the Waterbury game is half lost to the opposing team the minute they enter the town.
 Uncle Hiram Ladd was angry at Umpire Ebner and actually criticized the ump. Mighty strange happening when the old boy gets mad.-New Haven Register.
 Speaking of Eley's robbery in Mon days game, here is what the New Haven Union has to say: "A pae- nomenal catch by Eley in the first inning brought the crowd to it's feet Afte Council had famed, Pastor walked and Cough singled, sending Connell to third. Peck lifted a fly to Miller, and as Miller held the ball Cough stole second. Then Snyde CT connected with a waI1op that looked good for three bases. The ball sailed on a line to right center field, but Hey was after 1t with the crack of the bat. As it neared the crowd Eley sailed up in the air and show ing out his gloved hand, speared it. It was a. wonderful catch, and the right fielder was given a trem endous hand as he came in.''
 About the same play, the New Haven Register says: sfEley's one hand stab of Snyder's long hit to right in the first brought the crowd to it's feet and resulted in a warm welcome for the visitor. The ball sailed on straight line for the crowd in the outfield and it looked like three bags for the Navy Yard man, but Hey jumped high in the air and brought it down in big league styIe.'
 If Waterbury wins the pennant, Finn can thank the clements more than anything else. Two games with New Haven were postponed on ac- count of the little drops of water.

Divided Fire Fund.

The flremen met last night in
regular session One of the matters
that has created considerable discus
sion among the firemen was settled
at this meeting and this relates to
the division of considerable amount
of gift money which is in the treas
ury. After the big fire of year ago
there was considerable donation to
the fire boys and at the recent fire
last week the fund was augmented
by donation of 500 by the Stand
ara Oil company. Leroy Wright
also gave SIS to the fund at the
same time. This money has laid in
the treasury and Chief Throw is very
much in favor of keeping 1t in the
treasury and eventually buy equip
ment for the department, but 9TH
ers of the department are in favor
of dividing it pro rata. and this was
the action taken at the meeting last
night. 1t means quite little sum
for each of the active members Of
the department.

ICE CREAM CONES
UNDER BAN
Government Seized Large
Quantities Found to
Contain BoraX.

Washington, July 22.-Prosecu,
ton against manufacturers of ice
cream cones containing boraX are to
be instituted by the government un-
der the pure food law.
Large seizures of cones were made
recently in different parts of the
country by inspectors of the depart
ment of agriculture. Analysis OF the
cones seized proved to be delecteri-
Gus to the human stomach.
The cones by chemical test were
found to contain also saccharine and
benzoate of soda, but it was said at
the department today that proposed
prosecutions would be based solely
on the presence of borax, inasmuch
as saccharine still was under inves-
tigation and benzoate of soda had
been held harmless when used IN
small quantities.
inspectors will continue to make
seizures where cones are found con-
tanning borax Manufacturers using
borax contend this ingredient is nee
essary to make the cones hold their
shape.

UP RIVER SHOULD
Be TRIBUTARY
Talks of Closer Relations
Between Wenatchee and
Kettle Falls Country.

w. c. Stayt, of Kettle Falls, who
is spending a few days in the valley.
is one of the prominent irrigation
men in Kettle Falls, where he was
instrumental in putting through one
of the large bitches in that section.
He is also a member of the Kettle
Falls Commercial club on open rivers
and is here studying irrigation mat
tiers.
Said Mr.. Stayt: Il wonder if you
people thoroughly appreciate the ad-
vantages that might accrue to We
natchee as a result of securing the
trade of the up-river country. Spo-
kane does not appreciate it and our
section does not feel any too friendly
toward Spokane. Wenatchee is
strategetically located that it might
be the wholesale center for the whole
up-river country, and as an outsider
think that Wenatchee should spare
no efforts to get transportation con-
nections with the up-river.
Captain McDermott has made a
great stride in opening the upper
country and it seems to be up to
Wenatchee to work for further i'm
provement of the Columbia river and
also aid in the securing of rail trans
portation with our big country. We
all have a prophetic view of what
Wenatchee might be with the open
ing of the Columbia river and
through transportation established
from the boundary line to Portland.

ness men, your city and your valley,

ton should be established with the
upper country"
