 Eley was robbed of a hit because of the fact that there was a man on the paSeS. Waller was strutting around first when Eley sent a drive over the Hlloole sack Goede made great pick up in pack of the sack. getting the Dill to Soffel at second before Waller. It would have been impossible to get Elley at first if the play had been made there.
 Cy Miller had four torrid bounders come his way, yet he speared each one m With brilliant effect, getting every man put one, that being Hart, who made a fife on Miller's wild throw. Miller's best piece of work happened in the eighth when he went into the earth after Wadleigh's splash The pick up made him unsteady on his pins. his was also playing the game. and then some. having to get off the bag, but putting the ball on Wadleigh as he clattered by.
 The Senators went out in one, two, three order in all but two innings, the fourth and seventh. Eleven men faced Waller before the lone hit had been manufactured.
 Waller did his best piece of work in the seventh. Hummer had gone away when he walked McKenna. while Hart also was safe on an error. Tn be- tween the two who happened to get on came Metzger who put dents into the atmosphere with his swings, while to finish up Goede just breezed for good measure.
 One less than half of the Bridgeport put outs were flies. eight of the thir- teen being either fouls or easy pops for the 1nf1elders. Waller had more than something on the pill causing it to take this route so often

Mcdonald will De out Of the game for number of weeks, for a number of bones in his right hand were broken, and he re- ceived other injuries.
 Bobby Stowe was also one of those who played yesterday. He was not only tho leading Mechanic clouter. but also starred in the field. In the fourth Gloomy Gus Soffel made great bid for hit, one of those kind which oouno over the pitchers dome. and which most often go safe. Stowe was oee- to second with the bound, his quick throw to Crooks snuffing out soffePs only bid for a hit during the whole afternoon.
 sammy Dessler. the famous rooter, was having a great time with the Hartford players. He seemed to get their goats. Though they knew they would persist in talking back to him, much to their sorrow. As Sammy is one of tn warm weather kids. he ap- peared in the field with his short col lar turned in. This gave the Hart ford players a chance to call out, What are you doing, saving laundry

 Brad, don't scratch"
 Hi Ladd upset all baseball traditions when in the first inning he slammed out a hit after being presented with two five dollar gold pieces, one TOT making the most hits in the home games during June. and the other for knocking in the most runs in home games for the same month. The old scout was accorded big hand when he lifted his cap and bowed to the mul- titude Bobby Hart made the presen- tation after which all the players gath cred around Ladd admiring the glitter ing gold. The two pieces were given over to the keeping of Freddie Gibbs for the time being.
 Catcher Joe whelan was out with the boys yesterday in practice. He warmed up the pitchers along with Eddie Lavery. During the game Whe- Ian was earning his salary by getting out on the coaching lines. He ap- peared fresh and active, holding back the warmth in his Wdlliston Academy sweater.
 Three Mechanics were left on the bases in the fourth and also in the had hit in the fourth with strike out by Kocher in between. Goede robbed Hey of a hit by throwing Waller out at second. LeverenZ then walked Dick Nallin, filling the bases. It was up to Tom Crooks to clean up, but Tom raised little foul fly which was easy gathering for Wadleigh. Then in the seventh after two went down, Hart funlbled SoffePs throw of Crooks offering and Ladd and Stowe each hit. After passes to Miller and Hall fore ing across two runs. there were still three on when Kocher went out sec ond to first. In all the Mechanics had 10 men left on the paths. In only one inning did they go out in order, the fifth, though in this session Stowe hit, but was caught stealing second.

The rooters were out in force in all parts of the field. One Hartford rooter, he was some noise, managed to get into the third base bleachers. He got by all right until he started smoking an old clay pipe. then the fun started, he being the object of all sorts of kidding. John Balko, the fa- nous door slammer at No. Engine house and noted burglar hunter, led the cheering in the first base section with a homemade megaphone.

"Red" McKenna was the only Sem ator who was playing the game from both ends. He grabbed the lone hit and walk, and also made a brilliant one handed catch of long fly by Cy Miller. The sphere was in the where abouts of right center when McKenna pulled up with it.

The riotous proceedings which filled the
San Francisco emergency hospital with
battered Japanese and Chinese, after an
international game on the gridiron which
resulted in victory for the eleven repre-
senting the Island Kingdom, would be
worthy of wide comment were they diff
ferent from happenings on the gridiron
after games in which Americans only
were participants, and which involved
nothing more than individual interests.
The game of football calls forth all the
energy that the players possess, and
arouses antagonism on the bleachers.
Therefore what the San Francisco
Orientals INDUCED in was develop
ment that should suggest repression rath-
er than severe condemnation. on racial

University of Michigan believe in the
maintenance Of rules which shall guard
sport on track and field against the
ringer" or the athlete who has lodged
beneath the university requirements.
Michigan's absence from the Western
football conference and her cultivation
of relations with the East were due
to desire to retain upon the football
team several players who were ineligible
under the rules of the conference, and
the surrender of the football honors to
Notre Dame therefore indicates change
of heart in this important particular 1t
is to be hoped that the honorable course
of the Wolverine athletes will cause the
authorities of all universities to purge
sport on field and track of all phases
of deceit and unfairness.

The rural mail route has been a ire
mendous convenience to citizens of the
United States living outside of cities but
interested not less than inhabitants of
the cities in the prompt receipt of mail.
There is an old saying that the more
some people get the more they want.
Does this apply to residents along the
lines of rural mail routes? In a letter
from the postmaster general received by
the postmaster of Milwaukee the other
day was the statement that, based on an
average deduced from facts recorded in
one county in New York, no fewer than
800, 100000 one-cent pieces are put into
rural delivery boxes in this country
every week by citizens who post mail and
have not taken the trouble to purchase
stamps. The expectation is that the
carrier will use the pennies to buy the
stamps and will afiix them to the letters
or packages TO which they belong. Do peo-
pie reflect on the possible consequences
to their fellow man who ofiiciates in the
capacity of rural mail carrier? 1t may
be fun to lick a stamp if one has but a
single stamp to lick, but the pleasure, if
pleasure it be, soon pals. Licking thirty
| stamps might easily ruin rural mail
carriers appetite for dinner, and the re
membrance of the effect of licking thirty
stamps might subsequently impair his
appetite for licking one stamp. 1t is moi
| fair TO lay this responsibility up
on the carrier of rural mail. Ii thu
postotfice department intervenes in hi'
behalf it will do so on humane grounds
which will be admitted as adequate by
everybody who stops to think.

An important announcement comes
from Durham, North Carolina. Through
incubation of guinea pigs which in turn
infected other pigs, the pellagra germ
that scientists are trying to combat has
been isolated by two physicians of that
place, who hope to be able to determine
the cause of the plague. If they are not
successful in the latter attempt, the work
which they have performed is likely to
make the problem easier for others.
