MAKING THE DESERT BLOOM.
Water Laws, Not Tunnels or Dams
the Governments Chief Problem.

Writing in the March Metropolitan
Magazine on the subject of bad irriga-
ton laws in the West, r. r. Howard
says.
ST once happened to ask a Govern
ment Reclamation Service man what
was his biggest problem in building
the world-marvel irrigation projects
that reclaim their one hundred thous-
and or two hundred thousand acres
of aridity. I expected to hear about
Gunnison tunnels, Roosevelt dams,
giant cuts and reservoirs, and to be
plunged into the cold depths of a sci
entific talk on hydraulics and hydro
states and other hydro-subjects But
he put an end to my imaginative
flight and my expectations with two
words:
Water laws he said.
with the Government a big pco-
ject in the West is first of all a le-
gal question; second a human ques-
tion-as to whether the land owners
want and will support the project:
and third, a scientific problem. Sup
pose the Government proposed to go
up near the headwaters of one of the
large Western streams and build a
huge reservoir to supplement the
summer flow, and then to come down
the stream to some good place and
build a big dam to get the water out
of the stream to irrigate large tract
of land. Could if he done? Not IN

with the Boys club. After weeks OF
squabbling, dickering, and threaten
ing, the two clubs were finally forced
to shut up Or play. They did get at
it, with the result that the Boys club
demonstrated their superiority in a
23-16 contest. The score, though
somewhat close, does not give a
thorough line on the ability of the
club.
When the two teams moved into
the arena for their practice it was
evident to the trained or unframed
eye that the club boys presented the
better crowd.
When the war started, the Joes
showed wonderful speed, grabbing a
lead which they maintained for con-
siderable length of time. Dunnigan
Of the Joes, after playing a nobby
game, was forced to retire in favor
of Hooper. Dunnigan had found the
pace too hot and speedy for him. The
first period ended with the club lead
ing 11-6.
With the start of the second period,
the club was refreshed by the addi-
ton of Franz and Beardsworth, who
replaced TOle and Della Vale, re-
spectively. The Joes set fast pace
in this period and crawled up until
at one time the club held the score
but by one basket, 1916. Franz and
Beardsworth started their funny bust
ness which played havoc with the
Joes defense, which crumbled before
their brilliant work, with the result
shot at the Joes' basket. Two of
Francs shots found their way
through the circle.
The contest was not without it's
rough features, Referee Hull having
busy time keeping the hot heads
from smuggling each other. 1t was a
funny piece of business watching
some of the boys with clinched fists
ready to start something. There were
a few blows landed, which the official

.P0RkY FLYNN FLOORED
OFTEN BY BILLY WELLS

London. March 9-Porky Flynn went
the distance and that was all in his
twenty-round bout with Bombardier
Billy Wells. at Olympia last night, the
strapping former soldier of the King
hammering the Rostonian unmerci-
fully throughout the encounter. Wells
twice sent Flynn to the board in the
sixth round. dropped him again in the
ninth and I'M the twentieth round
knocked him through the ropes. The
Briton's enormous reach was too much
for the American. and at no time was
Bombardier Billy in danger.
Wells showed vast Improvement
over his earlier bouts In London The
big artilleryman boxed cleverly and
showed that he had developed a punch
that is not to be scoffed at. His long
reach stood him to good advantage
and his left jab always kept Flynn at
distance. Whenever the American
succeeded in getting In close Wells
held him even in the infightng Wells
jab cut Flynn up badly and his right
hand smashes to the head and body
early produced wholesome respect in
Flynn.
Several times Wells had Flynn in a
bad way and with more ring exper-
fence Bombardier Billy probably would
have put the American out. Wells
failed to press his advantage. how
ever. and permitted Flynn tn stall out
of danger. Wells showing delighted
the hearts of his followers, who say
that he now is primed for a match
with Bill Lang. and soon will be ready
for Sam Langford.

The directors of the Connecticut

ed UP on the baseball horizon in Man
ager Carr Pace of Waterbury, one of
the three partners who purchased the
Waterbury franchise a few weeks ago.
The big item of the meeting, which
is the last before the opening of the
league season, is the adoption of the
schedule prepared by Sid Challenger
CT this city. Challenger has been pre-
pairing the schedules so long for this
tight little circuit that he has come
to be regarded as not only the oldest
schedule maker in captivity but the
best. In all his years of schedule
making, Challenger has not had any
changes from the original inserted.
All the owners and managers will
be primed about the good things they
have picked up during the long win
ter months. Each one has a certain
number of ''phenoms'' ready to un-
cover and time and the baseball re-
porters, principally time will tell how
good they are. 1t would appear from
the reports already sent out that
Hartford, Springfield and Bridgeport
would send out the best bunch of
tossers at the start of the season.
Chief of Umpires Kennedy an
nounced his staff of arbiters at the
previous meeting and since then ne
has added Mr.. Richard Nallin, who
was with the Mechanics a part Of
last season. The jumps will have a
meeting the day before the opening
of the season when they will be in
structed by Kennedy on what to do
and what not to do.
The championship season will open
on Friday, April FL. The principal
game, Of that day will be between
the clubs representing the two largest
cities, and the two best drawing cards
in the league, New Haven and Bridge
port, at Savin Rock. The other at
fractions are Hartford at Springfield,
Waterbury at Northampton, and New
Britain at Holyoke. On the next day,
Saturday the contests will be just the
reverse.
At this meeting of the league, the
last before the opening of the season,
there are always a number of base
ball deals ripped off. Most of the
managers have excess baggage which
they would be willing to palm off on
the other magnates. Manager Nc
