AsEBALL- SPORTS OF ALL soRTs-BoxING


South Side lot with a comparatively
long series, the White Sox should
surge forward and regain some of the
ground lost through four straight de-
feats at the hands of Hugh Jennings
Detroit crew.
They will have an opportunity for
morning drill, which seems to be bad
ly needed in all departments. This is
especially true of baserunning, for
several skull plays have been made
by the Hosemen on the paths in the
past few days.
Five straight defeats apparently
took some of the brightness out of
the men, and their final effort in De-
troit resulted in a defeat that should
have been an easy win. Three or
four more runs should have been reg
istered by the Rowlandites. John
Collins, Buck Weaver and the man
ager himself committed errors of the
brain pan that we're disastrous.
An example: To open the fifth in
ming Red Russell stung long hit
and made third base by wide mar
gin. None were out and Reb is rel
atively slow runner. But Rowland,
coaching at third, waved him on
home and the big pitcher was caught
by a mile After which in the same
inning the Sox went out and slammed
home two runs, and might have had
more if John Collins hadn't run too
far around first base and allowed
himself to be caught. Later, when
there was another chance to do some
counting, Buck Weaver strayed off
second far nap and was promptly
pinched out.
Losing games that way can't be
ascribed to hard luck, no matter how
eager we are to find an alibi. 1t is
the result of poor baseball and moth
ing else.
The greatest ray of sunshine was
the pitching of Russell. He went mar

est and retiring violet, so far as sign
ing to fight Mike Gibbons is con-
cerned. Gibbons remained in Chi
go to meet the Joliet politician, but
for the second time Packey failed to
keep an engagement for the meeting.
He stayed in Joliet for some reason
or other, probably recovering from
the trouncing given him by the wife
of a newspaper man following an
election squabble.
Mcfarland isn't making any great
hit by the tactics he is pursuing in
negotiating for this Gibbons fight.
Because of Packey's apparent eager
ness for the battle, Gibbons was led
to come here from st. Paul and is
cooling his heels while Mcfarland is
making up his mind to hop an electric
car from Joliet.
Apparently Mcfarland believes the
public will stand for most anything.
He has a chance to get $4,000 for
ten rounds work, a whole sight more
than he is worth, and, unless he
doesn't need the money, he'd better
grab the opportunity.
Mr.. Jess Willard must have been
disappointed yesterday. The streets
weren't blocked by cheering thou
sands eager to greet him and he Gre
ated comparatively little commotion.
Some day these prizefighters will
awaken to the fact that the public
won't 'be damned" much longer.
Freddie Welsh, lightweight cham
pion, injured his hand the other
night in his mill with Red Watson at
Hudson. He Cancelled his fight for
tomorrow night with Johnny Harvey
at Columbus. Charlie White may sub
for the champion some time next
week, as he has gone into training for
a series of bouts.

WATERSHED OF 36 MILES WILL
 BE DEVELOPED
Hydraulic Co.'s Work In Saug- atuck Valley Will In
 crease Resources.

Development of 36 miles of water shed in the Saugatuck valley is plan ned by the Bridgeport Hydraulic Co. because of the tremendous growth of Bridgeport.
 During the last year the total daily consumption of the conpanY's water has. jumped from 21,00O,0O0 gallons to nearly 3O,O0O,0O0. Next year the company will have used between 12,- 100000 and 15,Oo0,0oO gallons of water daily from the Hem1ock system alone.
 e The construction of the Hemlock reservoir was done with the expecta- ton that the jSaugatuck valley was capable of development, in connection with the Aspetuck valley, which is nov in use. These works will give 4,oOo, 900 gallons daily from the Hem lock reservoir alone.
 At the time operations were com menced on the big new, dam it was hardly thought that the additional storage would be needed for some lit tie time, although it was deemed ad- visable to be prepared to meet any emergency. The great dam had scarcely been completed before it was seen that Bridgeport would be ready to accept its service as soon as the water was available.

BIC PICNIC At
L0RENA PARK
THIS MONTH
REMINDER OF OLD TIMES WILL
BE GIVEN ON REDUCED SCALE
SOME OF THE oLD-TlMERS
WOULD HAVE BIG ONE.

Many of the old citizens of the
city would love to see big anniver
sary picnic pulled off on the 2Sth OF
| this month, that being the twenty
eighth anniversary of the birth of the
town, but as the time is so short, 1t
would be practically impossible for
the citizens to have one Of their old
time barbecues, for which Ardmore
was so famous, and to which people
came and camped from a radius of
hundred miles. However, arrange
ments are being made to have a pic
and the management of the traction
company, together with citizens of
the city, are making plans for the
best entertainment possible on this
occasion.
In 1887 the railroad passed through
the old 700 ranch and a new town
was born. The town was named af-
ter similar city in Pennsylvania
on a line of road operated by stock
holders of the Santa Fe. At this
time it was but a small trading point
but attracted pioneers, who came
and established business houses that
drew trade for hundreds of miles
Two years after this the business
men of the city pulled off the greatest
barbecue and picnic ever given in this
section of the southwest, and Ard
more's reputation was established.
Any old-timer, recounting the first
picnic, relates some interesting tales
of citizens now living and what they
did to make the fete a success. The
picnics were annual events until a
few years ago, when interest died,
and it has been several years since
one was attempted.
On the 2Sth of this month an eff
fort will be made 20 revive this Gus
tom in a small way, and everyone
who visits the park will be enter
tanned to the best of the manage
ments ability.
The natatorium at the park is get
ting to be one of the most popular
resorts in the city, and is filled night
ly with people from the city, enjoying
the swimming pool.

kITCHENER'S IRISH ARMY
TRAINED BY IRISH GENERAL

, London, July misconceptions
of the Associated Press)-One of the
new branches of Kitchener's army in
training now in a camp south of Lon
don, is an Irish army, commanded by
an Irish general. This is the first
time in British history that such a
force has been assembled. There have
always been Irish troops in the Brit
ish army, and sometimes they have
even been. in the majority, but hither-
to the largest purely Irish unit has
been the regiment. This is the first
time that an entire division of Irish
troops has been made up.
The Irish division" as it is tech
nically known, received its first train
ing on the soil of its native isle, and
has only recently been brought to
England Soon after its arrival it was
inspected by the king and Lord Kit
chener, and the latter set his seal of
approval by declaring it zone of the
finest divisions in the new army"

SH|PN PNENTS

A MAGNIFICENT AGRlCULTUR-
AL BELT. ALSO HEAVY CATTLE
SHIPMENTS MADE.

The Ringing road is busy these
days. A handsome depot and office
building is under construction in Ard
more, and the line is handling a large
amount of freight Within the last
few days sixteen cars of cattle have
been shipped in here over that line
and routed for the Kansas City mar
kets. Early estimates on the grain
shipments from Lone Grove, Wilson,
Joiner and Ringing puts the number
of cars at $50. The grain is not hold
ing out quite as well as was expected
earlier and there may be fewer cars
handled. The most of the grain will
probably come from Ringing as that
is more of a prairie country while
Wilson is a greater corn country and
Lone Grove is a greater fruit growing
section. 1t is expected that as many
as eight cars of fruit will be handled
this year Heretofore there have been
no fruit shipments from that section
of the county. The orchards have
been too far removed from railway

Oxyuen Stored Without Pressure.

By the use of some of the CONNER
cial preparations of fused sodium per
oxide, oxygen can now be stored with
out pressure. This substance has the
property Of holding oxygen in chem
ical bonds. from which it is released
by the action of water. A pound of
the peroxide will hold 90 cubic feet
of gas, or enough to supply the breath
ing requirements of man for 80 min
utes. The application of this discov-
cry to diving and life saving appli-
ances is said to be entirely practical,
since the sodium peroxide, while hard,
is not brittle, and can be cast into any
convenient shape. When charged with
oxygen it may be stored without dan
ger of deterioration if protected from
moisture.-Popular Mechanics.
