is A kNOCkER
South Bend Dope Writer
Throws 1t Into Charlie
Morton.
IN THE CENTRAL LEAGUE

The sporting editor of the South
Bend Tribune, is trying to throw cold
water upon the candidacy Oh Charles
Morton for the Central league presi-
dency He says that the Akron man
is not so popular as he might be in
| the o. & P. organization. He further
states that the statement that several
| clubs have agreed to support Mr.. Nor
| ton is doubted by some of the Central
league directors. 1t might be said
that Mr.. Morton is not a candidate for
the position, in the manner of seeking
the office, but in case the Office is ten
dered to him his friends have assur-
ances that he will accept the position
The sporting editor Of the News, who
has always been warm supporter of
DR.. Carson in everything he has at
tempted to do, has had absolute assur-
ance from Mr.. Carson that he would
not be a candidate for reelection un-
der any circumstances. This being the
case the name of Mr. Morton was
suggested, and it can be said, despite
of the statements made by the dope
writer on the South Bend Tribune
(who DR.. Carson himself says is not
reliable), Mr.. Morton will have at
least four votes on the first ballot in
Toledo, and possibly six. The office
Of president in the Central league is
one that any man should be proud
to occupy, and If man says he does
not want the Office under any circum-
stances he should be taken at his
word. This is what the Canton al
rectors have done with Mr.. carson,
and Charley Morton will receive Can
tons vote in Toledo. Unless the un-
forseen happens, Mr. Morton will be
the next president of the Central
league. Stick pin there, Mr.. Dopey
from South Bend.
Pitcher Fred Smith, for the last four
years the mainstay of the Hottentots
pitching staff, has arrived in Terre
Haute and will remain there until the
baseball season opens in the spring.
1t is understood that Smith does not
want to stay in Terre Haute next
season, but President Smith, who was
figuring on keeping all of last years
pitching staff,- announces that unless
Smith can be traded off for something
decidedly better, he will be retained.
Manager Bade Myers of the Canton
team, has offered one Of last seasons
pitchers for Smith.
The South Bend club has received a
check for $1,000 from the Toronto
Eastern league organization in pay
ment for the releases of Connors and
Moffit, who were sold to the 'Ioron-
to club in September. Mofit will no
doubt make good, but In Connors, the
Canadians got about the worst gold
brick" in the Central league. 1t is
announced from South Bend that Out
fielder Goat" Anderson will probably
be sold to the Pittsburg National
league team. Goat" will probably
last until the team returns from their
training trip to the south in April.

The Bronx Valley sewer system was authorized

River from White Plains southwark the city

for the appointment OF a board of sewage com

The cities. towns and villages named in the statute

The harbor Immediately adjacent TO the shores of
Manhattan Island IS threatened by the construc-
uon OF the proposed Passaic River Valley sewage
system, which has been authorized by the Teris-

the building OF a main trunk sewer twenty-four
miles in length. from Little Falls, near Paterson
TO the city Of Newark where the sewage will be
pumped through force mains under Newark Bav
across the BayOnne neck. TO a point about mile
north Of Robbins Reef lighthouse. This trunk
sewer Will drain the enti$e valley of the Passaio

, Woodbridge Acquackanonck. North Airing gton. Har-
rison and Kearny and the townships Of Franklin
and Glen Ridge
The estimated population OF this district Is now
about eight hundred thousand. and the sewage
output, estimated the basis OF 217 gallons day
of twenty-four hours per capita would be 173 600
600 gallons day. Provision is made in the plans,
which have been authorized for an increase in
the population to 100000, with increase in the
output of sewage Of Sl550O000 gallons a dav. At
present the sewage from this district Is discharged
at various points along the Passaic River, which
en1pties into Newark Bay, and into the bay itself.
The new scheme proposes, In order remove pollu-

1t is true that in the carrying out of this project

existing routes. All the districts proposed to be
relieved by the system drain into streams

into the XII Kull and Staten Island Sound.
