q BASE BALL =

Slapnicka's wildness, combined with
the opportune hitting of Burlington,
gave Egan the second victory of the
series from Kennedy yesterday by the
score of to 2. Marshalltown's in
ability to hit Mcmillan effectively aid
ed in giving Burlington the victory
and keeping the visitors down. Had
not Jacksonville lost a double header
to Oskaloosa yesterday, Kennedy's
men would be alone in fifth place. AS
it is they are tied with Jacksonville
for fourth.
Slapnicka became especially wild in
the second inning, when he hit two and
walked as many more. After the pitch
er had hit two, Fosters error at first
filled the bases. Then Slapnicka
walked Daley forcing in the first run.
Pete" Burg was also walked, and
Bruggeman came home.
In the third inning House hit, and
was sacrificed by Kennedy. Both
scored on Burns error Burlington
scored again i'll both the sixth and

Marshalltown scored only in the
second inning. Foster first up, sin

hit grounder to Grogan, which hit
Kent. Burns was passed and the bases

The Barnum & Bailey circus is liter

1t were considered desirable or neces-

But this preacher, or angel, whichever
Mr.. Foxweli may be, was certainly not in

there were four drunks. And judging

INLAND WATERWAYS NEEDED

INLAND WATERWAYS NEEDED
"When Congress meets in
December next it ought to be
brought about that the question
Of the ship canal from the Della
ware to the Chesapeake bay is
taken up. The commissioners
named to consider the routes
have reported the feasibility OF
the scheme, and that is sufficient
to warrant Congressional action.
''The present canal is fourteen
miles long with fourteen miles
more of water before it reaches
the Chesapeake bay. This
makes a total length of nearly
thirty miles TO care for, but the
work proposed is merely physi-
cal and would consist of widening
and deepening the present canal
and dredging the bed of the
stream connecting the canal with
the Chesapeake bay. There are
no real engineering problems in
volved. The cost of this work
is estimated at perhaps twenty
millions of dollars, a mere baga-
telle when the wealth of the
country is considered and when
the advantages of short cut
along and inside the Atlantic
coast is borne in mind.
'sIn shipments made from Bal
timore to Philadelphia, and in
the other direction, the ship
canal would effect a saving of
more than two thirds the dis
tance now travelled and a saving
of three-fourths of the time now
occupied by taking the outside
route. The project of the ship
canal is in high favor, and aside
from its advantage for merchant
marine the deep inland water
way would be of incalculable
advantage to the national govern
ment. Thus the Philadelphia
Record suggests that President
Roosevelt, after his trip down
the Mississippi, would do well to
visit the Atlantic coast and
make himself familiar with the
possibilities of a continuous water
way from the far south to Boston
by an inland route.
"With the Delaware and Ches-
apeake canal made passable for
vessels of deep draueht and for
the ships of the navy it would fol-
low naturally that the Delaware
and Raritan canal, running
through New Jersey from Bor-
dentown to Raritan Bay, would
be widened and deepened. Work |
is now begun, we believe, on the |
the canal through Cape Cod. |
Thus with the Delaware and
Chesapeake canal and the Della
ware and Raritan canal made |
deeper merchant vessels would |
be able to pass, on the inside.
from the far south all the way
from Baltimore to Boston, by
way of Long Island sound from
New York to Buzzard's Bay and
thence through the Cape Cod |
canal to Boston.
'"There can be no possible
doubt respecting the value of an
inland waterway, by canals and |
rivers, along the larger part of
the Atlantic coast line and on the
inside away from storms and
rough water, and at a tremen-
dous saving of time and distance |
and thus at a saving in the cost
of transportation. And all this
without any consideration of the
phrase of coast defences by pro-
viding an inside route for naval /
ships. "-Mo5ning Ne,0s.
