To Decrease Water Bills.

The dripping of faucets and by
drants is caused by particles of grit
or metal being clogged under the
washer; these substances allow the
water to slip through, no matter
how tight the water is shut off. In
order to prevent this dripping, turn
on the water in full force and let
the pipe flush for about ten sec
onds, the particles are washed out,
allowing the washer to rest firmly

GUNBOAT SMITH DEFEATS
 PORKY FLYNN ON POINTS

Two right swings to the jaw deliv- cred in quick succession during the progress of the boxing in the sixth session enabled Gunboat Smith Of California to earn the honors of & ten-round bout with Porky Flynn of Boston at the St. Nicholas A. C., New York, last night. In the ninth and tenth rounds Smith tore into Flynn and tried hard to serve the Bostonian with similar medicine, but despite all of the punches he received Flynn held his feet.
 The bout lost much of it's interest because the men were so slow and wild in the majority of the rounds that the crowd began to plead with them to .tdo something" In the last four rounds they mixed it better and at the close they were both giving fair representation of two fighters in full swing.
 Flynn, was, the better boxer, but his blows lacked force. In the first two rounds he apparently was afraid of Smith and permitted the Californian to whip over punches to his face at will In the third and fourth rounds Flynn took heart and hooked his left to Smiths stomach repeatedly, and handed many rights to the jaw.

M'CONNELIrFRAN MATCH
 WAS FIGHT TO THE DEATH.

It will be thirteen years tomorrow since the San Francisco boxing bugs assem bled, in WoodWard's Pavilion to witness a match between two great Irishmen, Frank Mcconnell of San Francisco and James Franey of St. Louis. It was a fight to the death. for at the end the St. Louis man was counted out for all time. Franey was the aggressor from the tap of the bell, and for thirteen rounds he rushed wildly at his shifty and clever opponent, dissipating his strength in frail-like blows that seldom landed. In the fourteenth round, the cautious taking any risks, stopped dancing out of Franey's way long enough to land one solid blow. Franey went down. and stayed to the count of nine, and got up only to be sent crashing to the floor again. Five times in all the groggy St. Louis fighter arose, battered, bloody and barely able to stand, to face his opponent. On the last occasion he manager to stagger up only by holding to the ropes, and was unable to raise his hands. Right then the referee should have put an end to the game stand of the de- feated fighter but he was a second too late with his merciful interces
 sion. Just as he spoke the words that ended the battle. Mcconnell sent over another terrible blow, and where. he remained motionless. He had struck on the back of his head and was unconscious when he was carried from the ring. A little later an ambulance was summoned and F'raney was hurried to hospital. where he died soon after. McConnelI' was arrested on a charge of causing
