John D. Rockefeller says cit is not
what we earn but what we save that
makes wealth."
In washing clothes with Fels-Naptha
in cool or lukewarm water, either in
summer or winter, you save:-
Fnei-No necessity for hot fire or
boiling water.
Clohfes-Your clothes last twice as
long when washed with Fels-Naptha,
because they are not weakened by boil
ing, nor worn out by hard rubbing.
DOctors BMs-You don't risk your
health by bending over steaming suds or
hot fire and then going into the cool
outer air.
7me-The Fels- -Nsptha way of
washing takes less than half as long a..
the old washboiler way.
Lado,-Fels- Naptha takes three
fourths the work and all the drudgery
out of washday.
II these savingsare worth while to you,
follow directions for using Fels-Naptha

GREAT RALLY
 BY MECHANICS
 DEFEATS STUDS
(waterbnry Republican.) }

When it comes to lightning changes a bevy of painted blondes in chorus has nothing on Gene McCann's nase- ball team. For eight innings at Reid vile yesterday the Mechanics we're good fellows; they treated the Spuds with more consideration than the lo- cal team has been accustomed to re- ceive and they almost seemed to pat Lower on the back and say: Fine pitching, John, old boy.'' t'Theu came the sad change. McCann's quiet crew became a brutal horde devoid of all finer feelings and the way they land ed on J. Lower turned the exhibition into slaughter. Score: Bridgeport 6, Waterbury 2.
 What a slaughter it was in the met one on the beak but Lower stab- bed it with one hand and Eddie was out at first. Chief Snyder. who is as valuable to McCann as meal ticket to starving man, then beat out a hit toward first. Gygli claimed the runner was out but Corcoran could not see it that way.
 Fisher, who was not considered any good by Murphy, singled to right on the hit and run, Snyder going on third Baker scored him with another hit, Baker taking second on the play for Fisher at third. Two runs came in on Crooks single to left and Crook went to second when Brennan let Glen non's throw go to the grandstand. Crook scored on Spratt's triple The next two men mercifullys allowed themselves to be retired.
 Young Barron tried to repeat against the Spuds but didn't. He was yanked after the fifth and was considerably peeved when McCann sent Snyder in to bat for him and finish the game in the box. Snyder was right and when he is in that con- dition no pitcher in the league has more on the ball. Waterbury got one hit off his delivery, a line drive over short by Gfennon.
 Waterbury did not score until the fifth when Brennan led off with a pass and scored on Nichols double after Lower had famed. Hoey sin gled to center and when he started for second, Nichols made break for the plate and was ruled out on a close decision. Hoey counted on a double by Ruell. Spratt made a nice running catch in the ninth off Gygli. The score: fs-fs

OLY LYMPIC GAMES WILL NOT PROVE
 MONEY SUCCESS

Stockholm, July lit was a stoiid company of athletes that entered the stadium from the steamer Finland, today. The cocksureness which had marked the Americans at all times since their arrival here was missing and replaced with a determine tion that is certain to have it's result in future contests The loss of the D. 600 and 1,500 metre races, the second of which had already been chalked up to the Americans, was a big dis appointment.
 The weather, today was much cool CT than at any previous time and the change proved beneficial to the ath- 'letes. It was admitted by the manage. ment today that the Olympic will be far from a financial success. The foreign attendance that had been ex- the great stadium has never been more than half filled since the open ing day.
 The 10000 metre walk was, as ex- pected, comparatively easy for the great Canadian, J. GouIding who sim ply carried the entire field off it's feet. From the start he set out to win and to hang up a new worlds record. The result was never in doubt. he winning in 46:2S 2-5 which was four seconds below the best previous Olympic time for the distance.
 
 flied for the final. essayed to follow Gou1ding's pace with the result that he fell prostrated on the track in the 10th lap.
 There were 10 starters but the finish only four men were still Tn the walk ing. Webb. of England finished sec ond, Altimane, of Italy, third, and Rasmussen of Denmark. fourth The walk was one of the best of the meet to date and stirred the small crowd to wild enthusiasm.
 The American entrants for the Mar athon which will be run next Sunday stopped active training, today, and will take only nominal exercise until the time for the start of the big race arrives. The chances of the Amer jeans are declared by the experts to be very poor and the British sharps assert that none of them will show in the first F miles.
 None of these experts, however, gave Johnny Hays a chance in the London Marathon which he won so the Americans are not worrying
 According to the experts, Cookery. of Canada. and Wide, of Sweden, seem to have the best chance to win the race.

IN MAJOR LEAGUES

Grifith's Nationals, like McGraw's Giants, run to victories in large and nourishing clusters. The holders of the seasons record for consecutive Victories are now working on string of ten with the same western clubs that helped them to their first long run lining up for a little more of the same.
 But for the unhappy consequences of too frequent grapples with the Attn letics the Nationals might now be all mighty close to first place. They have an edge on every other club in the league, barring Chicago, and they have held the White Sox to an even break But they have been fairly lucky to win i've of their sixteen battles with the champions of the universe.
 Pitcher Cfcotte, who looked like a world beater when he first joined the Red Sox few years ago, but whose work hasn't been at all consistent the past couple of seasons, has been sold to. the White Sox. Comiskey figures that new surroundings are all Cicotte needs to make him a dependable f1in- ger.
 Now that Rube Marquards string Of victories has been interrupted he will feel easier of mind and probably go out and win a lot of ball games for the Giants without so much regard for records. The Rube has the satisfac- tion of having topped all authentic records, and while it would be nice little jaunt to go through a season without dropping game he will find it easier to work without the record looming up in front of him every time he starts. s
 Young Jimmy Lavender was the hero of Chicago after he, took Marquard's scalp. Lavender is one of Chances best bets. He is now practically the n1ainstay of the Cub pitching corps and if he can keep it up he will be one of the star boxmen of the season.
 The Philadelphia fans are loyal to the Athletics. Jack Coonbs made a miserable showing against the Red Sox and was finally taken out after he had tried in vain to find the plate. But instead of being hooted according to the popular custom he was given a. big cheer. The fans evidently re- membered that Jack had pitched many

a good game and that he had assist ed in bringing success to the club.

a good game and that he had assist ed in bringing success to the club. One thing that goes long ways to explain why the Giants are away out l there in front is that the ten best 1 from the McGraw camp.
 That is close race in the dizzy heights of last place between Yam kees and Browns. The Browns have held the station a long time, but the indications are that the Yankees will displace them this season in the final counting. Manager Wolverton has, however, given up hope for this sea- son and is looking to 1913.
 Joe Jackson, Ty Cobb and Iris Speaker are having little three-cor- nered race of their own for batting honors in the American League.
 There are many fans who think player than Ty Cobb Certainly he is getting better every year. He looms up as the player most likely to take Tvs crown as the king of the dia- mond. He is a great batter, fielder, base runner and throWer. Billy Mur- ray, the Pittsburgh scout. is one who thinks Speaker is better than cobb right now and will soon outclass him altogether. One good thing to con-
 template in this connection is that modesty is Speakers middle name.
 The American League situation is puzzler Boston has at present com fortable lead, but not one sufficiently big to insure them of anything in the ultimate reckoning. The Athletics, in the opinion of many, will pass them before September.
 Rumor has it that Cutshaw, the for
 ner Oakland second baseman, will soon force John Hummel out of his reg ular job at second for the Brooklyn Dodgers. Cutshaw seems to be clev- CT and heady ball player and bats we'll Moreover, he bats righthanded and Brooklyn needs some righthand ed hitters, if it hopes to do anything against the southpaWs.
 Bert Tooley's popularity with the Brooklyn fans was attested the other day at the corner stone laying at Eb- bets Field when some one suggested that Ebbets put him in the. corner stone along with miscellaneous ar- ticles. Tooley makes frequent errors. He claims that stiff finger on his right hand interferes with his fielding

JOHN M 'GRAW
 TAXES STAND
 AGAINST CROOK

Chicago. July 11-Manager John Mo- Graw of the New York Giants was a witness yesterday before the Grand Jury in a confidence game case. Miss Ellen Flynn. who conducts a rooming house at No. 4se1 South Michigan ave- nue, was the complaining witness.
 Last fall. short time before the worlds series games between the New York and Philadelphia teams were played, a man went to live at Miss Hymns rooming house. He represent himself as being a personal friend of McGraw. A few days before the open ing game was played he showed Miss Flynn telegram, purporting to have been sent by McGraw to him, in which it was stated that the alleged confi- dence man could have an unlimited supply of tickets for the games.
 i've could make barrel of money" Miss Flynn reported her guest as hav- ing said. but I haven't any money just at this time. If we could get a little capital. we could buy these tic- ketss and sell them at 100 per cent. profit. You could. get one-half and I the other

PATSY KLINE HAD YOUNG
 WAGNER ALMOST HELPLESS

Patsy Kline came within a few sec ond of knocking out Young Wagner in the main event at the St. Nicholas A. C., New York, last night. Wagner was practically helpless when the bell ended the tenth round and the reguIa- ton mill.
 Kline had the better of his oppon- ent all the way and but for the in- tervention of the final gong could scarcely have failed to put away his man. Twice in the closing period Pat sy stretched Wagner prone on the can vas for the count. Three times the latter went down the last time with out being hit The end found Wag- ner locked in a clinch, hanging on for dear life to stall off the finishing touch.

 Umpire Doherty's work was not satisfactory and for that reason did not keep him on the staff.'' said Pres ident O'Rourke of the Connecticut league this morning. This statement was in reply to charges in a New Haven paper that Mild Mike had not been fairly treated. tDoherty's ap- pofntment was only temporary any way" continued Uncle Jeems. ''I did not intend to keep him permanently because didn't think he knew how to control the players He didn't as- sert himself enough and the players were delaying the games by useless kicking.
 while I have nothing against Doherty personally I feel it is better policy to get umpires who are strang- CTS to players and managers in this league. The players take too many liberties with an umpire whom they have known as player. Tommy Corcoran was a resident of this state but hadn't played here since the present generation of players were active. Of course if one of the regu lars is compelled to lay off may have to secure some local man as substitute but for regulars I think strangers give better service"

ROW BETWEEN O'DAY
 AND DICK HOBL|TzELL

Pittsburgh. July 10.-The row be- tween Manager Hank O'Day of the Reds and First Baseman Hob1itzell Is likely to cause breach which will eventually grow so wide as to put the team back in the second division and at the same time make the fans in Cincinnati sour on their new leader. It doesn't take much for the fans there to bolt, and although Hank at present is enjoying extreme popular ity, it is no indication that the sur- 'roundings will be so pleasant in the future for him.
 No matter if eHoblitzell was to blame, the two should come to a quick understanding, for%once there is friction in the club. it's prospects of ever getting higher in the race are gone. The Reds have been travelling at a good gait so far this season, but Hank must be in fear of the team dropping farther down, else he would hardly have called Hobbey so hard.
