was fully up to the favorable forecast
made by the weather man, being clear,
with just a touch of autumn in the air
and a breeze which came out of the
northeast without enough force to in
terfere with the fielding of long, high

The real storm of applause began when

Dodgers Spirit Not Lacking.

The National League contenders were
not lacking in either spirit or playing
tactics. but their hit-and-run offense
was on the W lole easy for the Red Sox
to solve and turn back. There also was
a noticea BILE lack of speed the part
of several OF the Brooklyn players,
which, combined with poor judgment
as to who should handle batted balls
at certain critical moments of the
game. put Boston men on bases in
stead of turning the plays into outs.
Keen critics of the game also think to-
night that Manager Carrisan scored in
his first battle of wits and generalship
with Manager Robinson of the Brooklyn
club. for the former, by sending Shore
to the mound against Marquard. saved
his best lefthanders. Ruth and Leonard,
for the games to follow. Marquard was
considered by many to be Robinson's
best card, and the fact that he was de-
feated gives Carrigan the whip hand so
far as pitchers go. for the next game or
two. 1t was a narrow squeak. however,
for the Red SoX, and the Brooklyn play
ers are far from being downcast tonight.
They proclaimed boldly that they will
not wait until the final inning to go after
their opponents Monday. and that once
they unlimber their bats there viii be no
question regarding the winner. All of
which apparently fails to make any inn
preston on the confidence of the Boston
Americans.

under regulation endurance tests, 1t is claimed. In addition some of its parts. especially the magazine, it is contended are so delicate as not to withstand abuse such as would &C., tually be encountered in the field.
 Apparently, however, in altering the Berthfer gun to the American caliber which is slightly smaller than the Belgian, although the cartridge is more powerful the Baush company has successfully rebuilt the entire gun. The vibration has been reduced to minimum and the entire mechanism has been carefully balanced through out. This would lead to the belief that it is a perfect weapon for the United States army but this does not necessarily follow, inasmuch as the very lightness of the gun may of it. self be a bar to actual field service requirements. The gun may be SO light as not to be able to stand up properly in an endurance test. Or it's magazine may be so fragile as is con- tended by critics of the Lewis gun, as to make 1t useless. Only endurance tests will decide this highly important question.
 The Berthier gun is designed for air or water cooling. The Baush com- pany has guns of both types built same style as the Benet-Mercier or any other air-cooled machine rife The water-cooled, however is peculiar in that 1t Is really steam that cools the barrel. Once the gun has been fired enough to heat it, a little stream of water is squirted between the bar rel and the jacket. This is immedi- ately converted into steam which rushes through the length of the bar rel and out. The answer to this ap- parently strange method of cooling is that steam is a much better conductor of heat than water and the heat of the barrel is consequently conducted away quicker than by water.
 In response to invitation George D.. Haskell of the Hopkins and Allen Arms company, Boston. appeared in Washington recently before the board made up of army, navy, and marine corps officers, and of civilians, ap- pointed by Secretary of War Baker to report on the tpye or types of ma chine guHs-hest suited for the United States.

WASH CLOTHES IN \ , -"
 MOOSUP ICE POND,
In Summer People Swim in the Pond
 and Ice Dealers Are Wroth.

Moosup. a town of quiet demeanor in the southeastern corner Of Wind ham county, has a pond that supplies the ice used iE the village during the summer months. During the summer people swim in the pond and some times women wash clothes in the water.
 The ice dealers are wroth and allege that the water is being contaminated. Only last week an ice dealer saw a party of women headed for the lake with load of rugs and clothes oh a two wheeled cortrivance. The man kept watrh and the dozen or so women with their old push cart proceeded to the lake, where they scrubbed and rinsed their old rugs and clothes. They would, ne declared, take dirty rugs and mats out of the water, soap them and then rinse them in the pond.
 The weather was SO mild that day that the women were clad in Mother Hubbard wrappers. and not much else, according to the ice dealers story, as the women waded into the pond to some depth and seemed to have weights attached to the bottoms of their skirts to keep them from rising. Villagers agree that the pond makes a nice place to do washings, but hav e their doubts about the fitness of the water fer Ice that is generally used for domestic purposes.
