FOURTH ON LIST
Islanders Not High in Team
Batting as in Percentage
Column.
SPRINGFIELD AT THE TOP
Peoria, Dubuque and Bloomington
Ahead of Us in Figures Given
Ont by Sexton.

President M. H. Sexton of the Three
Eye league has given out the batting
averages of Three:Eye league players
for the month of May, inaugurating a
custom that will be appreciated by
press and public about the circuit. The
figures show that the Springfield club
is easily leading in team batting with
PAT, while the Islanders are virtual
'hitless wonders" standing fourth in
the column with a mark of .225. De.
catur is on the bottom with POS. which
may explain why that team has not
done better; but on the other hand
Peoria is next the top with .242, which
upsets all the dope, especially in view
of the fact that Dubuque comse next
with .234, and both are ahead of Rock
Island and Davenport.
Plass Reai Leader,
Catcher Johnson of Springfield, play
ing in II games, leads the field, having
a mark of .344, while Plass of DUBUQUE
comes next, being entitled to the real
honors with 311. Dick Smith is close
behind with .305. Mcbride leads Rock
island with .2S4, and next comes Me.

tary, it is probable that his will be
the bill chosen for adoption.
Any bonding legislation that is UNI
dertaken, If it is to be successful, VIII
probably have TO provide that the
bonds issued shall be redeemed from
the reclamation fund. Any plan which
proposes to redeem these bonds out
of the federal treasury is likely to be
met with opposition. When the re-
clamation act was passed it was so
ramed, at the insistence of eastern
members, as to guard against future
demands being made for direct APP
preparations to augment the recla-
nation fund. A failure strictly to
observe the terms of that law in the
apportionment of funds in times past
has brought about the present short
age, and that fact alone will make it
difficult to get through any bill which
directly or indirectly or indirectly at
tempts to take money out of the fed
eral treasury, for use in the construc-
ton of irrigation projects.

MONEY NEEDED
FOR RECLAMATION
Especial Correspondence.)


WASHINGTON, September 15.-1t
be up to congress to determine next
winter whether or not bonds shall be
issued by the government to raise $1O,-
O00,O6u or more to hasten the compile
ton of federal irrigation projects now
under way. 1t has become evident
that without some such assistance,
work on many of the projects will
drag along indefinitely There is only
$10OOO,OOO available, and there is i'm
mediate demand for S25,OOO,OOO I'm
less some method is provided for in
creasing the amount to be expended
mkt season, the work of the Reclama-
ton Service will be seriously crippled,
and many settlers now residing on UNI
finished projects will be subjected to
more or less hardship.
When Secretary Ballinger was in
Spokane, attending the Irrigation Con-
gress, Senator Borah discussed with
him the advisability of a bond issue
to raise ten millions or as much more
as might be deemed necessary. me
Secretary did not commit himself then,
and since his return from Spokane has
not been willing to make any public
statement with regard to the PROPOSE
ton. But it is known that he APP
preciates the importance of augment
ing the reclamation of Fastening the
completion of the unfinished projects,
and it is assumed that if Congress calls
upon him for his views, he will cor
daily endorse any proper legislation
to this end.
Whether or not there shall be a
bond issue is purely a congressional
question. Beyond pointing out the
condition of the reclamation work,
and the urgent need for more money,
it is not the function of the Secre-
tary of the Interior to act. But a
sufficient number of Senators and Re-
personalities from the West will be
interested in the subject to see that
the right kind of bills are introduced,
and once introduced will see that they
are referred to Secretary Ballinger for
report. If anything, there is likely to
be a superfuity of legislation propos-
ed; the trouble will come in selecting
the best bill from among all that are
offered. Senator Borah, having taken
the lead in this bond-issue movement,
and having discussed it with Secretary
Ballinger, will probably offer the first
bill of the kind in the Senate, and be-
cause of his reputation as lawyer
and his understanding with the Secre-

ever been seen in a warship crowd oil
