|RED WALLER SKIPS OUT
 AND LEAVES LYNN MANAGER
Bridgeport Club After Pitcher and 0ufieIder to Strengthen Mechanics In Weak
 Spots

sI never saw such a high sky sait Capt. Eddie Swander of Springfield
 We couldn't tell where those fly ball:
 were going to drop
 Stricker, the Pony first baseman, i. the tallest player in the league. He IS built like a pair of stilts but look. like a clever first sacker Eddie Lynch. the debonair rooter, handed the fans a laugh when he remarked
 That boy is certainly way up town Frank O'Rourke looks good al shortstop. The Mechanics youngstel made a fine play in the seventh that saved a run. Guest was on third with two down when Dell sent a short fly to left. O'Rourke went after it and although the ball was twisting and turning, Frank grabbed the sphere a few inches from the ground. The crowd gave him quite a hand.
 Holyoke appears to have struck it's stride. With Ehman in the box the Papermakers beat Hartford by 2 to o. Powers worked for the Senators.
 New Haven's winning streak was stopped by New Britain. The Spuds beat the Wings by to 2. Jensen twirled for New Haven and Sager and Lower for Hoey's men.
 -
 Taguer, who was released by New Haven, has caught on with New Britain. He didn't get a hit against his old team yesterday.
 The Giants won the rubber in the series Of five games with the Reds and are now full game and a half ahead of Hank O'Day's wonders.
 Mathewson, well known author who occasionally fwirls for the Giants, al- lowed the Reds three hits and issued no free pass.
 The Dodgers won't lose, today. They don't play.
 Boston blanked Pittsburgh while the Cubs were smiting the Dodgers and the Braves climbed out of the hole.
 Immediately after Big Ed" Walsh returns from a weekend visit to the home folks in Connecticut some team suffers. Yesterday itfwas the Yan-l kees. He relieved Lange in the 4th inning just when it looked as if the Yankees would never quit scoring.
 In five times at bat, J. Daubert made five hits, a triple, a double and three singles. He made a double play unassisted, took part in another. stole base and took 14 chances without an error. Quite Cobbish.
 The largest crowds in baseball his- tory in Redtown saw the Giants-Reds series, total of 85,0O0 paid admis- sions.
 The Maps, who showed a flash of pepnant-winning form earlier in the season, dropped another to Boston day.
 The Tigers. still without Cobb, lost one to the Senators. Gainor's triple with the bases full in the 9th did not turn the tide in favor of the strikers.

 Red Waller is up to his old jump. ing tricks again. The former Mechan. ic deserted the Lynn team of the New England league Saturday night and hasn't been heard from since. H, got bad start with Lynn this sea. son but was going we'll in the pas two weeks. Waller announced last winter that he was cured of his ole time tricks and that he would do ths right thing by the Lynn manage. ment.
 Justus, the pitcher Jersey City prom. ised to send to Bridgeport, was seni to Holyoke and reported there yester- day. The Papermakers now have Cal lahap, Green. Ehman, Burroughs Cristall and Manning on their staff be released. Burroughs is twirleI sent to Holyoke by Pittsburgh. He lives in Mystic but O'Neil couldn't get him to report until yesterday.
 Freddy Robarse. has been canned Bill Luby's Northampton team. Burke an outielder who had a tryout with Holyoite, has also landed with North ampton.
 Shorty Norris is favorite with the fans because of his speed. He gave a great exhibition of sprinting when he dashed from first to the plate af- ter Bridges bounded liner off Strick- CTS glove in the third.
 With all the other clubs strengthen ing the Mechanics need some new ma terial to keep them among the lead- shaky condition and the outfield is not as strong as it might be. The Bridgeport management is now nego- tiating for another outfielder and 2 pitcher. LeClaire. who was secured from Montreal has started for this ought to be here today or tomorrow Chief Snyder said today that his back felt better and he may be able to go into the box this week. The fact that Carroll had deserted the club makes McCann shy on outfelders but ne IS just as well pleased to get rid or Car, roll as the former Troy player proved to he troublemaker Cunningham's arm is still sore but Hooks thinks he will be able to twir1 next week.
 They burned red fire in Union City last night. That is Dick Tuckeys horne town and the folks up there are pulling for Dick. Union City IS between Naugatuck and Waterbury You'd never know there is any such place but for big sign across a merry mucilage parlor which reads, "Nick,s Union City Cafe and Sample 
 Eddie Bridges handled Tuckey in fine style. He steadied him in the pinches and made him work slowly. Tuckeys fault in previous games has been too much haste in pitching to the batters The result was that he tired himself out in six innings.
 Bob Stow has his batting lamp pol ished. He collected two hits yester day and two on Tuesday in New Ha- ven. Bob doesn't appear to cover as much ground in the field. He seems to have difficulty in bending low after hard hit balls.

WATERBURY GAME CONTRARY TO RULES
 SAYS O'R0URkE.

''I see that New Britain is adver-. tised to play in Waterbury against a picked team next Sunday said Pres ident O'Rourke of the Connecticut league. That is in direct violation of motion passed at the last meet ing. The directors at that time voted that no league team could play in Waterbury without unanimous con sent of the directors '
 The president said there would be a league meeting in Hartford tomor- row night and he thought the matter would be taken care of at that time. The game is for benefit of the family of a fireman who was recently killed and the directors will probably let New Britain invade Waterbury.

 The coming trip on the road is not calculated to put the Yankees in an enviable position. A team that can't take a series on it's home grounds is not calculated to burn up the circuit away from home.
 With Manager Bresnahan on hand to inject the ''pep'' the Cardinals have gone from last place to the top of the second division in two weeks.
 Part of the St. Louis spurt is ac- counted for in the fact that six of the club are hitting over 300. E Rube Marquard has now defeated every team in the league without hav- ing lost a game. Some record for boy who was once considered the prize lemon of the game.

 Murder
Old Hampden was dead-murdered

Old Hampden was dead-murdered!
 It semed odd that it could be so, that morning as I walked up the wide avenue leading to the great stone building that had stood on Hampden Heights for a hundred years.
 He had been buried three weeks, when they telegraphed for me, and, on my arrival, went to the house. up into the room where they had found him lying so ghastly and grim.
 The best detectives in the city had examined the house, and failed to find clue. I could hardly hope to do better than they had done, but l made the circuit of the apartment three times, I examined the doors, then the windows, and finally without the least idea of finding anything, glanced behind the screen that half concealed the fireplace; for John Hampden, hav- ing a fondness for old-time ways, clung to the broad stone hearths and wide chimneys of ancient days.
 For a moment I was startled at what I saw, but recovering myself stopped down and examined it.
 There, firmly stamped in the half baked ashes, was the imprint of foot, singularly made affair, looking as though the foot that wore 1t was deformed

 A horse had been tethered in a cluster of trees not far away, and there, hidden in the rotten end of a decaying log, I found the boot itself, stiff with human gore.
 The name of the manufacturer was stamped on the inside, and taking the down train the next morning, called at his office,
 I described the article, and asked him the name of his customer.
 His name is Hughes" replied the bootmaker, land I am now making him another pair. He will call for them in less than an hour"

NEAREST TO NATURAL COLORS
Captain Otto Fulton's Three-Screen Process of Photography Is Best
 Yet Devised.

Great accuracy in colors is claimed for the photographic pictures shown by the modified three-color process of Capt. Otto Fulton, an English photographer. The three impress sions made by the usual blue, green and red light screens are printed in black and white on non-inflammable opaque paper, and the images reflect ed by these three pictures pass re- spectively through a white, a pale green and a pale orange tinting screen, and are by three lenses super imposed upon the projecting screen. The delicate tints and shade result ing seem to be the closest approach to natural colors yet reached. The process is well adapted for moving pictures, powerful electric lamps in front and at the side of the paper band producing the reflection, and the avoidance of the risk of fire from celluloid films is not the least i'm portant advantage.

TRAINING THE DOG TO WORK
For Farm Use Scotch CoIlies Are Most Useful and Besides They Are
 Most Companionable.

Scotch Colles are the most useful dogs for the farm, besides being the most companionable. They are natu- rally intelligent and do not range over the country, as do most dogs. With proper care Scotch Collie pup can be trained to do almost any dog trick. A well-trained Collie will bring stock from the pasture more satisfactorily than most boys. The herdsman at the Kansas Agricultural college has a Col lie dog which Is very useful for that purpose
 The demand for Scotch Collies is steadily increasing as their value on the farm becomes known. It is better to buy pups or young dogs, as they are more easily trained. They usually are black. with tan legs and tan dots over the eyes and feet. tail tipped with white, and often with white collars. With their large, shaggy. silky coats they are very pretty. AS house dogs, they have no equals.
 The pup must be treated kindly. Scolding and whipping will soon spoil him. In training him, always use the same words and he will soon learn to know what you mean. After he has learned one lesson well 1t is no trouble to train him to do other things When he is older, if you have to whip him for disobedience, be sure that he is again friendly with you before you let him go. If you do not you are likely to spoil him. It requires patience to train a dog right,
