CLOSE GAME
IS won BY
WINTHROP
THURSDAY
Box Work of Both Pitchers Is
Excellent-Austin's Slow Ball
Proves a Teascr IN Merrill
Makes Sensational Catch

Gardiner, Me-, July 15.-(SpeciaD.-
A pass to Cobb and a wild pitch prov
ed Davidson's undoing in Wednesdays
game which went to Winthrop by a
score Of to 0. The game was both
close and exciting. With Cobb on Sec
ond, "Squanto" Wilson hit to Norton
and was safe on wild peg. Maxwell
laid down a sacrifice and Cobb sprint
ed for the plate, beating P. Cobb's
throw. Both teams had several chances
70 score during the game but the tight
pitching of both tWirlers kept the
plate clean. Austin's slow ball was
teaser to the Gardiner sluggers and
easy pops were as plentiful as blue
berries in a good season. Nine flies
were caught by Winthrop's gardeners
with little effort.
Davidson also had something on the
ball and allowed one hit less than his
rival boxman and but for the fatal
fourth the game would have been
much prolonged. The light rain that
fell internationally proved anything
but agreeable to the players. Merrill
pulled off a feature catch when he
picked Wilson's high foul from the
edge of the fence.
In the first Duncan singled and ad-
vanced on Norton's out. Eastman was
safe on Cobb's wide throw and Dun
can advanced. Eastman was caught
mapping off first and run down. Dun
can started for the plate and Fuller
whipped the ball to Bell. who ran
Duncan down between the plate and
third. Maxwell making the putout.
Another chance passed up by Gar
diner was in the third, Merrill doub-
ling and stealing third. Duncan and
Norton followed with nothing but pop
flies. In the fifth. with men on first
and second, Harold Cobb made life
saver by spearing Duncan's liner. la
belled a sure hit, and thus robbed
Gardiner of a score.

Hunt for Color Effects.
(From the Baltimore Americ'

(From the Baltimore American)
1t does not seem that dye factories
have been going up. with a rush any
where in the United States as re-
suit of the alarm talk that followed the
shutoff in the Importation Of German
dyes. Before we have the enlarged
plants for the production Of special
and rare colorings, we must have the
scientific processes Of extracting and
combining that are necessary to the
production of many Of the charming
color effects that tint the silks, the
lawns and the muslins. Before the
grinding machinery and the mixing
watts the analytic chemists must put
over few successful stunts with their
retorts and boiling pots.
There are reports coming in from
one point and another. however. which
indicate that a large amount Of quiet
processing is going on. and that some
really valuable methods Of producing
certain much used colors have been
found. Black, it seems, is one Of the
most difficult colorings for American
dye makers to produce-a black that
will not run in the washtub nor fade
IN the sunlight. A Buffalo factory is
now making black dye which, 1t is
claimed, will stand the soap and wa
ter test, and experiments with new
black dye have been made in Philadel-
phia which are encouraging.
OF certain kinds of dye the United
States not only produces a sufficient
home supply, but large quantity for
export. The brownish-yellow. khaki
dye is made in this country, and this
dye. since the beginning of the Ell
ropean war, has been exported in enc--
nous quantities. Many vegetable dyes
are made in the United States. and
some Of these are good. And we know
how to get several OF the analine dyes
though most of these are carefully
guarded color secrets.

On the acceptance of your proposition

Although you have carried out

modification informally suggested to-

This modification is that you select

Unions Reply
Late tonight the union reply to Pres

to him. 1t follows:
In reply to your letter OF this date.
we desire to say that We do not know
of any better way to select a disinter-
ested board of arbitration than the one
you proposed yourself. You said you
wanted a board of three disinterested
men to act as arbitrator. We gave you
the names of three men, namely, ex-Jus-
tice Of the Supreme Court Charles Mat
teson, Henry F. Baldwin and Colonel
Harry Cutler.
I'VE have heard nothing either from
you or anybody else in this community
to indicate that they do not comply with
your own specifications as being honest
fair and disinterested. Why do you no,
take them? If you will indicate to us any
good reason why either one or all OF
them should not serve on such a board
we will drop them.
I'VE have given the public much great
er consideration in this matter than you
have. You are trying to use the public
as a club to beat US into submission tc
your personalities.
IF you are really trying to serve the
public you will tell them Friday morn
ing what the matter is with Judge Mat.

Water Supply Of the Yukon Tanana
ReQion, Alaska

The utilization of the water supply
in the important mining districts OF
the Yukon -Tanana region is one of the
important elements in reducing tho
cost Of mining. The water supply is
not only utilized directly in placer
mining but is also of importance to the
lode mining industry in furnishing
source Of power. During the period
from 1907 to 1912 the engineers of the
Geological Survey were engaged in
measuring the streams in the various
placer camps of the Yukon-Tanana
region, notably in the Fairbanks dis
trict. The results of these measure
ments have been published annual,
and are now summarized and dis
cussed in volume recently issued en-
titled Surface Water Supply of the
Yukon Tanana Region, Alaska, from
1907 to 1912" CWater-Supply Paper
342). by C. E. Ellsworth and r. W.
Davenport.
While the records Of run-off are not
complete enough to make possible a
definite statment of the water avail
able in each of the many streams of
this vast region. yet they indicate in a
general way the relation Of run ON to
the drainage basin. These results will
therefore be of great value to engi-
neers and operators who are planning
the installation Of mining plants.
The appearance Of this report is
timely. as there is no question that
there will be extensive mining de-
velopments in this field now that rail-
way connection with the coast is as
sured. In these developments the
water supply will be an important fac
tor.
