RUMOR THAT ELKS
HAVE EAGLES GOAT
CONSIDERATION IN CAMP OF
BIRDS ON DISAPPEARANCE
OF MASCOT.

There was a rumor around town
last night that the Elks had the
Eagles goat and consequently thu
Eagles had no show of winning the
great ball game next Sunday, but this
could not be confirmed, as all thu
Eagles playing on the team had left
for their homes when this office re-
ceived the news of the goats disap-
pearance.
The Eagles have dark horse tn
ring in when the game is called. The
new star is Chas. Wonacott, who,
years ago, used to play the game in
some seaport town in California.
Sunday Charlie was out practicing
and his plays made some of the
younger ones sit up and take notice.
For an old sport with grandchildren.
Charles is there, and even If he is
little out of practice he is still able
to prance some. Lem Plat has taken
him under his charge and will have
him limbered up in time for the
game.
There were dark hints that plot
to kidnap Ed Malley had been hatch
ed by some of the Elks, and this
put the birds on the anxious seat I'M
til Pat McCarran got out an injunc-
tion prohibiting the Elks from harm
ing Ed in any manner. What blow
it would be to the Eagles If their
pitcher should fail to make his ap-
pearance when the game was called
Horrors! The mere suggestion gives
one the shivers.
There is keen competition on rs
to who shall be the guardian of the
beer key which will be on third base.
Billy Grimes claims the privilege, as
he had that honorable appointment
last year and besides his brother,
Puddy, is going to umpire the game.
Good reasons. H. C. Schmidt is also
an aspirant for the honor. He wants
to know what an freshman knows
about drawing beer. The committee
has taken both applications under
! advisement and their selection will
be made public in a few days. 1t is
thought that the custodian of the keg
will be put under heavy bonds.
Later, $3.50 a. Must as we are
going to press Detective Bob White
of the local force informs this Office
that he had found the Eagles goat
in the rear of the Butler theatef,
where he was calmly eating one of
Sam Haas $4,000 moving picture
films. Sam was Immediately inform-
ed of his loss and said that he would
institute legal proceedings against
the Elks unless they put him on the
team. What crime.

game of poker in this city short
time ago. The stakes were rather
high and big jackpot was in prog

the pot with fine set of threes. But
Ter pondered some time and finally
came back with a sensational raise.
Dromiack called and drew two cards
Butler stood pat. Dromiack passed
the bet and the father of Tonopah
slipped five shining twenties into tac

was pensive for a few moments and
finally threw down his hand. Butler
raked in the money and also threv
down his hand-a red flush, four
diamonds and a heart.
What kind of hand do you cal;
that?" said Dromiack.
That's -'lollypaloosa, answere |

CONET ISLANDS CANALS.
Dir. COIcr Wants to Haze Them
Built to Carry off Storm Water.

Within the next few DAYS Borough President
Coer will ask the Board of Estimate and Appor-
tionment for money TO put through scheme out
lined in part by special commission in 1874 THIS
scheme is to run a canal. with various branches.
back of Coney Island Any official map OF the sec
ton will show d wide canal with three branches
But there is canal there. The map mas been
wrong for thirty-four years.
Mr.. Coler's object is TO have II dug 10 give the
raridy growing Bensonhurst and Flatbush sec
tions an outlet for their storm water. Owing TO
the fatness of the land not sufficient incline can
be had for the sewers lead the water out TO the
sealne. and the old Coney Island Creek. which mas
been utilized for an outlet up to the present time
has been so thoroughly filed in by the people VINO
own the land through which IL meanders that II
is becoming of little value
The general plan of Mr.. Coler and his engineers
is TO dig 200-foot canal along the north side of
Coney Island. from Gravesend Bay TO Sheepshead
Bay. This will follow the lines laid down on the
Official Along each side Of the canal, u Is
planned there Will be street 100 feet wide This
iOO-foct strip is designated on the maps as Cen
tral avenue As d matter Of fact. no attempt 10
speak of has Yet been made either 10 acquire the
property lay ont the streets Branching on
from the main canal which is officially designated
as the Gravesend Ship Canal. will be a branch l3o
feet wide running UP between West 10Th and l1th
streets to Avenue V. on each side of this branch
which is be called the Bensonhurst Drainage
Canal it is proposed TO have 35foot strip. These
strips and part Of the cofoot strips along the ship
canal will he used for docking purposes. for the
canals will he dug deep enough 10 afford entrance
tugs and canalboats.
Later on. il the necessity arises-and il possibly
wiIl-two other branches will be constructed along
| the lines of the Bensonhurst Canal at West Sd
street and at East 18th street. These branches will
occupy the sites of what are now named the Still
and the Stryker basins. respectively There is
| a branch of the Coney Island Creek that occupies
the site of the Stryker Basin and IL is used as
the outlet of the Avenue L sewer system for storm
| water drainage
The chief reason for the building of the canals is
To give an outlet to ten big new sewers-maybe for
| more eventuay-draning between six and seven
| square miles territory The house sewage from
this district will dumped into the canals but
