C0MPADRE TAKES y
STAKE BY A NOSE
Little Son Of Colin Makes It
-Four. Straight in Feature
at Aqucduct.

Compadre, the little black son OF Colin
and Playmate. scored his fourth consec-
utiVe victory yesterday afternoon at the
AqLeduct track when he won the Rock
away Selling Stakes, the feature event
OF The programme. AS In his two pre-.
Vious races he earned the judges deci-
sion by the fullest OF MARGINS. When
ne crossed the finish line only tho tip
OF ms nose was ahead of the Cleveland
stables aged brown gelding Whimsy.
Inc stake was at six furlongs for
three-yea r-olds and upward, and in ouest
Of the $4,000 purse ten of the best
sprinters In training went to the post.
Jimmy Fft2stmmons sent word broad
cast that Compadre was at his best.
rms and tho fact that his past per-
formances were best made him the ia
vorite, and when he stuck his nose home
the victor ho was accorded an ovation
which usually is reserved for the VIM
ners OF the classics
Compadre, which is one Of the fastest
breakers on the turf shot 10 the front
as soon MS Mars Cassidy shouted Come
or and was never headed. In the
last sixteenth Of mile he weakened
Inc terrific carly pace had sapped his
strength, but II could not down his
courage and under a vigorous ride by
George Walls he kept his nose in front
until lie had earned the big end of the
purse.
Compadre Gives Away Weight.
The colts race was an impressive one.
lie gave away big Jumps of weight 10
all OF his opponents and displayed suf-
ncient speed and courage to cause horse
men to stamp him as one Of the be IT
sprinters in the country.
Whimsy ran good race and took
place honors two and a half lengths in
front OF A. A. Reilly's Green Gold.
Green Gold showed great burst of
early speed and chased Compadre to the
last furloug pole. There he threw back
his ears and sulked and Jockey Rodri-
sLez had to use physical persuasion to
keep him going good enough to take the
short end Of the purse
The victory Of Lady Gertrude IN the
third race was the sixth consecutive
time this Eighty little miss romped home
in front OF her opponents. She de-
feated a trio of high class three-year-
old FLIES over the one mile course in
clever fashion. She traled the field
until entering the home stretch, where
Jockey I.yke slipped her through on the
rail. This move saved her several
lcIgths and enabled her to catch the
fast firing Empress, and win going
away by a length and a half. Empress
held on long enough TO beat Lady Dor
othy length for the place.

YANKEES SHUT OUT
BUT RETAIN LEAD
Geary Holds American League
Pace Settlers to 3 Hits-Love
Injured-Score Is 5 to 0.
Special Dsspdtch TO TEE sus.

PHUADEIPHIA, July 2--F'or the third
time this season the Yankees to-day
suffered a shutout. the kalsomine brush
known twlrler named Bob Geary. The
score was to o. Three singles were
the sum total Of the efforts OF the Yam
KEGS with the stick. Pratt and Pipp got
two OF them In the second session and
Baker achieved the other in the seventh
inning AS for getting any men around
to the home plate II was beyond the
Yankees. Bush of Boston and Kallio OF
wash the Yankees.
As the Boston Red Sox also were
beaten the Yankees did not lose their
clutch on first place In tho race.
Slim Love, who started the game for
the Yankees was compelled to retire at
the end Of the second inning owing to
an injury to his shoulder received In
Boston a week ago. Love made play
at the plate In a game In the Hub and
collided with a base runner, with the
result that his left shoulder was
wrenched. He thought he had recovered
from the injury. but as soon as he
started 20 pitch his shoulder began TO
pain He was hit quite freely In the
second trrut1rE ~ard gave way to Fin
neran. who held the Mackmen down very
closely.
Yanks Lack Timely HIT.
II looked very much In the second in
ming as though the Yankees were about
to get bag full Of runs. Pratt opened
the session with single and Pipp fol-
lowed with hit past second on which
Pratt was held at second. Bodie sent
q grounder to Geary and Pratt was
forced at third. Marsans and Hannah
both sent flies to Kopp and the chance
for tallies went glimmering.
Nothing that looked like hit was
acquired by the Yankees until the sew
enth inning. when Baker singled past
second. Then Pratt went out on a pop
fly to Gardner Pipp knocked fly TO
Walker and Bodle was out at first on a
Erounder to Gardner. That was the
dying effort Of the Yankees. for they
were retired on pop flies or easy ground
ers IN one. two. three order IN the eighth
and ninth innings
Merlin Kopp, who IL in the service and
left the team two weeks ago, returned
to the diamond to-day with the glad
tidings that he would not be called
again for two or three weeks, was the
batting hero OF the game He made a
hit liz each of the four times he faced
the pitcher, including three Dagger In
the second inning.
The Mackmen really won the gaIns In
the first inning. when they scored n run
on Jamiesons pass Kopps safe hunt,
Walkers single and McAvoy's pass,
forcing Kopp to the plate.
Two more were collected in the second
inning on Dugan's pass. Geary's sacTi-
fee. kopps triple and Walkers single.
kopp's single, Walkers sacrifice.
Gardeners pass and McAvoy's single
gave another in the fifth. and Kopp's in
field hit and Walkers double Welded
the final run in the seventh. Peckin-

Keokuk dam and power plant has made
it possible to supply st. Louis with
enough electrical energy to effect an an.
nual saving in that city of from ,0O0, 600
to 100000 tons Of coal! According to
the experts the hydroelectric installations
in Alabama result in yearly conservation
of quite million tons, and. incidentally,
of the movement by rail of that quantity.
The average miner turns out from day
to day from three to five tons of coal.
Every thousand steam horse power gen.
Grated calls for one ton of coal an hour,
or twenty-four tons of coal for continuous
service, day in and day out. That is to
say at least six men must labor in our
mines in order to provide fuel enough for
daily generation of a thousand horse
power by steam.
According to those familiar with the
practical side of the problem if we
started at once to construct anew or to
expand existing hydroelectric plants it
would be possible within year or year
and half to increase our power resources
enormously. Down in Alabama, where de-
velopments are already extensive, it would
be practicable to add measurably to the
energy needed simply by installing ad-
ditonal units in the present plants. In
eastern Alabama alone it is estimated that
the available water power still unhar-
messed represents the annual equivalent
of 100000 tons of coal-worth to-day
nearly $40 O0O, 600,
Niagara Power Ha. Rival.
All of us have heard time and again
what the hydroelectric power of Niagara
Falls has made possible in our electro
chemical industry. Niagara power is
working mavels to-day in equipping us
TO fight the Hun. But how many of us
realize what has been taking place in the
South, where hydroelectric plants have
revolutionized the cotton spinning in
dustry and achieved other successes at
present peculiarly helpful7
Not long ago it was necessary to I'M
port nearly all of our ferromanganese..
At this moment in Alabama we are pro-
ducing, thanks to water power, from
native ores very considerable portion
of all the ferromanganese We need.
Electric furnaces at Admission are turning
out high grade steel in large quantities
for the heavy castings for the ships
building in the south Atlantic and Gulf
yards.
Thanks to Harvesting the rivers of
Alabama We are able to obtain large
tonnage of low PHOSPHORUS pig iron, so.
essential in the manufacture of high grade
steel for ordnance, &c. Formerly we were
dependent upon imported low phospho-
rous ores for iron of this character. The
same sources of electrical power have
made it practicable to develop the graph
tie bearing rock of Alabama; and some
two score graphite companies are furnish
ing this indispensable material, reducing
the demand upon shipping for bringing
graphite from abroad,
Our present stress and the manifest
need of more motive energy have brought
us to a crisis; but happily the solution Of
the problem is well within our power
our water power, in fact. And if we turn
to our watercourses at once for relief
we shall not only strengthen our capacity
to wage war TO a successful conclusion
but we shall bring about for the future a
more nearly balanced utilization Of our
natural resources.
