London, May 9.--For many years
there have been discussions about an
improved method OF transit between
England and France. and Channel
Tunnel scheme, bridge from shore
to shore, and ferry-boat service nave
all had their idealists and adherents.
Yet now that the English public
has settled down to the belief that all
of these schemes have been aDand-
oned, one of them Is actually In prac
tical progress, and some OF our great
est engineers are pushsing forward
with II in a satisfactory way. In two
wears time there Is every probability
that passengers will travel between
England and France without changing
railway carriages, and that light goods
from any part OF England will be
transported to any part of the Cont
ncnt without being unloaded ON the
dockside and taken from the railway
van to the ships hold.
A ferry boat service between Calais
and Dover. to be followed by similar
services between other ports. is now
being organized, and advising engi-
ncers like Sir william White and Sir
John Wolfe Barry. and staff OF other
expert engineers, are hard at work
on his great enterprise.
Statement Of Wilson.
In speaking Of the enterprise, Sir
Charles Rivers Wilson. former presi-
dent OF the Grand Trunk Railway of
Canada, said:

powers to proceed with train-ferry

has advised US as to the construction
Of ships. The work is making good
progress and the only difficulty in the
way IL the lethargy OF the railway
companies. They have promised US all
assistance, but they have not SO far
co-operated with US In an energetic
and practical way.
However. there Is no insuperable
obstacle in the way, and with public
opinion behind us. and, IL necessary,
fuller Parliamentary powers. we shall
probably be able to start the first
train ferry between England and
France well within two years.
There Is nothing extraordinary
about 1t. and 1t is so possible that in
Canada and the United States alone
there are something like seventy-two
train ferry services over great lakes
and rivers, and most travellers ON the
continent are familiar with the serv

DANBURY MAY
 GET HOLYOKE
 B. B. FRANCHISE

Holyoke, Sept. 22.-Freddie Wtnkler, the Holyoke baseball manager may transfer his team to Danbury. The hat town has been anxious to have a state league team for 8 few. years and Charlie Humphrey had to think twice before he selected New Britain in place of Danbury when he broke into the Connecticut League. WinkIer has some good ideas about baseball but he was handicapped the past season for lack of funds He had g good hitting team all the season but was weak in the box and that is a fatal weakness In Pop Foster, he has magnetic leader for the men but a magnetic leader cannot do much with corps of bum pitchers. There has been some talk of the Board Of Trade putting into the game here and giving the local management a boost. If the Board of Trade is no more use to Win21ler than the Springfield board was when Manager ZeI1er called upon it to boost his. scheme to change the name of the league. it would be good idea for Winkler to go over to Danbury. There are many summer visitors from New York in places near Danbury and it is believed that they would attend the games in July and August. H. H. Vreeland, president of the Met system in5 New York, lives near Danbury in the summer and if he got interested in the team his in fluence SWould be invaluable. The matter will come up at the annual meeting of the league to be held in Sprin gield.

 Stallings will meet his employer to- day and the tidings will be broken surprised, either, for his perfectly good seyesS have enabled him to read the handwriting on the wall, the present managers contract does not expire until the end of this season, but there is a possibility that he will vacation. In that event, Chase will continue the job of managing, which he has already started.
 Chase doesn't believe he is ''in wrong" with his team mates He said yesterday they knew as we'll as he did that he was to manage them acted as if displeased by the knowI- edge. MT. Farrell will hear StalIings' side of the long argument with Chase at the meeting in New York today, but nothing George can tell him viii make any differences with the own CTS plans, which already are laid

 George Towns, who had beaten the best men in Australia that cared to

Great credit is due to Towns, for he lost much valuable time and made little money. He, however, plac- ed great value on the title, and proved a worthy holder. He defended it suc- cessfully against Tresidder in 1904.
