SUBSTITUTE BILL PROPOSED.
Commissioners Approve Proposition
for Relief of Manufacturing Company

Favorable report has been made by tho
Commissioners upon the proposition con-
tanned in Senate bill 6025 for The relief
of the Holly Manufacturing Company OF
Buffalo. N. "" although they believe the
bill should be differently worded, and they
have prepared a substitute AS The mat
ter Is reviewed in the report, It seems that
the Holly Manufacturing Company enterea
into contract to furnish pumping en-
CINE for $19950, and under the terms OF
the contract they earned altogether sI2 5y4
on account Of increased efficiency of the
engine over the requirements of the Epeci-
hc&tions. At the same time the englna
was not delivered until 344 days after the
time fixed in the contract, and. although
the District was not ready to use the pump
until long afterward, the controller of the
treasury decided that, under the law. the
commissioners were without power to re-
mil the specified penalty of $50 per day
amounting in all to more than ST. 900
The proposed bill provides for remuneraI-
ing the Holly Manufacturing Company to
this extent.

IMPORTANT CHANGES
IN CINCINNATI CLUB

CINCINNATI. May 9.-Carl Druhot sold
to the st. Louis Nationals.
Gus Dorner traded to Boston for Pitcher
Fraser.
Negotiations opened with the New York
Americans for Outnelder Dougherty.
Harper, Carr and Hafford slated for early
release by the Cincinnati club.
The above 10 portion OF the reorgani.a-
ton program that the Cincinnati club Is
carrying through. and II II expected that
within a week at the most several more
important changes will have taken place
on the team. What the future Of Harper.
Carr and Hafford is, Is problematfcai.
There is every reason to believe that Har-
per will remain in fast company. Carr and
Hafford are not so certain to be picked up
by big league clubs. 1t Is quite likely that
the local management Will attach some sort
of a string to Hafford, as he promises to
develop into a fine pitcher. and one season
In the minors with steady work ought to
make him ready for the Reds.
have proved unavailing. The latest refusal
came from Brooklyn, Of whom Hanlon
wanted Outfelder Harry Lumley In ex-
change for Harper and bundle OF money
1t Is probable the deal will be made for
him in exchange for a pitcher who per-
formed In high-class style last season. but
so far this year has failed to show form.
He is rapidly losing caste with the patrons
In the city IN which ne was nero last
year. and 1t is possible that. under the ex-
listing conditions the trade will be made.
The Druhot deal with the st. Louis club
was a strictly cash affair. The little fellow,
while sorry to leave the Reds. is glad of the
opportunity his engagement with the Cardi-
nails will give him to work regularly, some
thing that was not In view for him with the
Reds.
The Fraser-Dorner deal was an even-up
affair. Tenney preferring the former Column
bus man to Fraser. while Manager Hanlon
naturally expects better results with
Fraser This deal gives the Reds Ave sea-
soned pitchers-Ewing Weimer, Overall,
Fraser and Chech-enough for all prac tieal
purposes. and the strongest pitching staff
apparently, that the local club has ever
had.
The prospective addition OF Pat Dough-
erty Is another beneficial move. Pat Is not
the most brilliant fielder in the world but
he can hit and is extremely fast on his feet
A disagreement on the salary question with
the New York Americans is keeping him
out of the game at present.
Another outfielder and possibly another
catcher are wanted by Manager Hanlon to
round out his team as he desires 1t. Then
watch the Reds.
