This piece of information, 2, view ~
developments today sounds like SO last
gasp of the promoters Of such a oil
For. not only has EIberfeId not yet been
landed for tho Nationals, but. from
what meager information can be OBJ
tanned from Chicago today. 1t seems as

Inflelder Wild Conroy: erstwhile
an infiel6er on the New York
American club. has been sold out
right to Manager Cantillon. II may
not be IN the best of taste to become
familiar with Wild beg pardon. Mr..
Conroy, on such short notice. For he
is something of a stranger to Wash
ington. nor has he cut a wide swath
elsewhere
But that does not prove anything.
Many a star has been found hidden I'M
DER a bushel Of Yankees, and a man
who can shine with that aggregation
is going some. So let US have hopes for

The price paid FOR Conroy IS not an

Seriously, though. Conroy has been a
valuable asset to the Highlanders for
the past lew years.
He is a fair hitter. classy fielder,
and an exceptional base runner He will
hold down the third corner for the Ma
tionals. A bad ankle handicapped him
IN his work with New York last year.
stalungs let the veteran go because Of
factional club feelings, and because he
believes in Joe Ward or Austin he has
a better hitter and all round player than

PLAN TO CURTAIL

Schemes Devised for Short

Limiting Entrants.

Bowling tas assumed such a popular
ity in the United States that plans are
being devised for cutting shorter the
annual national tournament The event
this year IS scheduled for Pittsburg and
starts In q few weeks. Teams galore
have entered
one enthusiast suggests dividing the
country into four districts and having a
tournament in each one. Then the lead
ers OF each division could get together
to decide the national. championship.
The present tournaments are Of suca
magnitude that many cities hesitate In
bidding for them. Chicago is willing to
entertain the bOwlers next year, but
does not feel like putting up the money
required 4 national gathering OF this
size in Cleveland Is also out OF the cues
ton Pittsburg has provided literally
for the tourney this year, but Is sure
to lose money
On the other hand, while the sectional
elimination plan would reduce the size
Of the national gathering. II would also
rob the big event OF much OF It's inter

EVERY DOLLAR COLLECTED
BY CITY WATER WORKS

\ most admirable and unusual,
Unusual for any city but Grand
Junction) record has been made by
City Clerk John NJ. Conley and
Water Supt B. W. Nedder, two Of
ficiais of the present city admins
tration, in the collection of the great
amount of water rentals that are due
the city every three months.
City Clerk Conley and Supt. We'd
der have collected every cent of
money due the city OF Grand Junction
for water rentals for the year just
ending, the fiscal year that comes to
an end on April 1. Not one cent is
uncoIIectcd. This is certainly great
record when il is considered that
there are 1900 water consumers and
users on the books OF the city water
works and that the year has been the
biggest and heaviest from II financial
standpoint the water department has
ever known.
The city council, City Clerk Conley
and Mater Supt. Neddcr have con-
Quoted the large business of the
water system of Grand Junction in n
manner that Is II credit To the official
and II credit to the city. No muni-
cipally owned plant in the state is
conducted i'm II more conscientious,
successful and modern manner than
the nnter system of Grand junction.
