F.. Burr in the first round of match play today.

Panama before next spring. Some idea may be had of the tremendous power of this gun, destined to protect the Pacific entrance to the Panama canal, from the fact that it is fifty feet long. weighs 152 tons and fires a projectile about six feet long. The projectile itself weighs a ton and is discharged by 665 pounds of powder.
 It requires eight to carry the powder charge. The gun has maximum range of from twenty-two to twenty-three miles. It has sufficient power theoret- ically to pierce two feet of the best arr1or at the muzzle. At eleven miles the gun is calculated to pierce a

FLAG RAISING TRAGEDIES RAIr

but CdnG TAdv DiOWHS.
 Philadelphia, July 16.-A miniature cloudburst which sent players and spectators scurrying to cover again interfered with the Athletics third attempt to clash with St. Louis yes terday and the double header had to go into the discard, to be played when the Browns come back to town in August. Three of the four games of this trip were postponed by rain.
 Although the storm prevented the teams playing it did not interfere with the raising of the worlds cham pionship pennant. Just before the storm broke the two teams paraded from the plate to center field where Ira Thomas and Branch Hickey hoisted the huge blue and gold flag up the iron fiagpole. Thunder rumbled and lightning flashed, but the rain held off just long enough to per- init of the hoisting of the rag. After that everybody went home when 1t finally ceased raining.

CITY STANDS WELL
 REGARDING DEATHS
Rate Here for June Better Than
 in Many Other Cities.

New Britain's death rate for June compares favorably with that of other cities in Connecticut. The local rate based on the annual death rate per 1000 of population is ten. The rate ih other cities follows: Bridgeport, 9.s; Hartford, 1o.7; Meriden, 14.3; New London, 12.S; Middletown. 7.6; Waterbury, 10.9. The rate for the entire state was slightly more than twelve per cent. These figures are takeh from the monthly report of the state board of health.
 Uhe causes of death in this city were as follows: Whooping cough, 1: erysipelas, 1 diarrhoea (under five years old)s 8 form of tuberculosis, l; lobar and bronchial-pneumonia, 5; bronchitis, l. cancer. 2; accidents and violence, 8 all other diseases, 26.
 Infectious diseases reported to the state health authorities from New Britain were as follows: Measles, g.; scarlet fever, 1; diphtheria and croup, 2%; whooping cough, 5; typhoid fever, 5; tuberculosis, 23.
 It is a noteworthy fact that the state board of health credits New Britain with a population of 50,20l, a figure largely in excess of that cred ited to this city until quite recently.
 Appended to the report regarding deaths and diseases. is a warning against unclean serving of soft sum- mer drinks. The warning says:
 <'As the warm months approach the so-called soft drinks become more and more popular. The writer wishes to call attention to the slack way in which many of these are prepared and served. It is impossible for the department to correct all of the abuse pertaining to these popular drinks, however diligent the employees may be- Many of the finest fitted places are careless about washing glasses and other utensils used for mixing

New Britain at Springfield for Two Games-And Don't Forget Tint
 Double Header Saturday.


 Double Header Saturday.
 "Bilr' Scinski's warriors are of to- day for Springfield. where they will entertain the good folk of the supefior city for two days running. As the Ponies are not going any too fast the local lads expect to make a big clean up and cop the game today and an other tomorrow. It will be the first occasion on which New Britain and Springfield have clashed since "Si" Mcdonald took charge of the Massa- chusetts team.
 But the big event in which local fans are more than interested is the juicy double header with New Lon- don on Saturday at Electric field. II will be the first bargain day bill staged in this city and with the lead CTS of the league as the attraction the bleachers and grandstand should be taxed to their capacity. The first game will start at 2 o'clock and from then until the last man is out in the second game Scinskis boys will make II fortunes lost to the Planters
 If New London should by chance escnpe winning the pennant by a spell of hard luck New Britain can be held accountable. as it was while playing against the Hardware city club that Quinn. the clever first sscker of the New London club. smashed his wrist. In the same game Barberich, a Planter pitcher, broke finger. The loss of quinn is hard blow to Eu- gene McCann, as he was considered of more value even than any of the twirlers He was a heady player and could hit and run as well as play the initial sack like fiend. 1t is doubt full whether he will be able to get back into the game this season. While the New Britain boys are not going out Saturday to put any more New Londoners on the hospital list. they are going to break their hearts by q double beating if such thing is possible.
