The statement by John Purroy Mitchell

Mr. McAncuy. President OF the Bor-
ough Of Manhattan and Il member Of
the Boarn OF Estimate subcommittee
which is charged with delaying dock inn
provements, said he preferred that a
statement should be made by the sub
committees chairman. John Purroy Nit
chel President OF the Board OF Alder
men. Mr.. McAneny explained, however
that the delay was due to legitimate
difference OF opinion between Commits
sioner Tomkins and the subcommittee as
to the kind of Improvement required on
the western waterfront OF Manhattan.
Also there had been the press OF the sub
way matter. In order to obtain funds
for the improvements It was necessary
to have the Appellate Division declare
certain "self-sustaining" dock bonds ex-
empt from the clty's debt limit. There
we're s7s.Oo00o0 OF bonds which could thus
be exempted. Commissioner Tomkns had
feared that ii this money became avail
able a good deal of II might be diverted
by the Board of Estimate from dock inn
provement to subways; therefore he had
put the brakes on the court application.
However. II had now been agreed that
s2S 10000 OF the available cash should be
spent on subways and the balance OF
100000 on waterfront Improvement
The latter sum would cover all needs,
especially since the Dock Commissioners

BY landing both ends Of the double
attraction yesterday the Climbers
amb!ed a full game ahead Of the Mack
men, who dropped a contest to the Jun
galeerS. Unfortunately the Red Sox
grabbed two together and so held their
distance from Griff's scrappy lads. By
pounc!ng upon Jack Powell in the NTH
Inning, making four runs in d row, tho
Climbers ended the first battle by
score of five to one.
The second game, though victory,
was a tiresome affair, remarkable only
for the excellent work OF Carl Cashion

work OF the Brownies. The score wa3

For four frames that first game was

scored run in the second session and
then rushed along neck and neck until
the fifth when up she went, the Climbers

was himself and the Nationals could
do nothing with him. But then, they
didn't have to, remember
Pratt was hit to start the second in
