ment has made application to the Amer
lean Legation for American assistance IN
controlling the Hwai River, which trav-
erses Southern Ho-Nan and Northern An
Whei. and empties into Lake Hung-Ize.
The river each year rises and floods the
country. causing large loss Of life ana
great damage to property.
Hundreds of thousands Of dollars from
the United States have been distributed
for the relief of famine along the HWal
River i'm recent years. and three years
ago the Red Cross sent Charles Davis
Jameson. an America civil engineer. to
survey tho country through which the
river passes and make plans for Keeping
the water within its course. 1t is MI
Jamesons project which the government
desires to carry out. Twenty millions OF
dollars will be required for this purpose
II will be secured by a concession OF the
vast area OF reclaimed land.
Paul Reinsch. the american Minister
has sent to Washington full report on
the project and says he hopes American
fnanciers can be found TO undertake it.

Cantillon jollies his old men

guest of honor, and some one
took long distance shot at

whether years as an umpire had

Joe Cantillon, manager and

the theory that a man is of little

The rain drizzled down cheer
lessly and the cold seeped in and
numbed the faculties, but the
handful of fans at the ball PARK
yesterday forgot all physical dis.
comforts in watching the progress
of the first extra inning game of
the season. And those who stuck
had the pleasure of seeing the
Tigers win out by to Q score.
Hitting i'm the pinches was re-
sponsible. The two heroes of the
day were Messrs. Ed Kennedy and
Len Burrell. In the eighth in
ming with two down, two on bases
and Spokane leading 2 to o, Bur-
rell, who had a reputation i'm the
Coast league last year for pinch
hitting, drove one to left center
for three sacks, tying the score.
Kennedy's smite won the strug-
gle i'm the twelfth. Harris had
been hit by Cadreau, Keller had
died on long hoist to Papa and
Cy had singled to right, sending
Sport to third. Then Big Ed
poked one of the chiefs curves to
the suburban regions, and the
crowd broke fol-. the gate.
McGinnity started for the Ben
gals and went swimmingly until
the sixth, when terrific doubles
by Papa and Wagner, and a vic
ious single over first by Johnson
counted two runs. McGinnity
let Ruell bat for him in the sew
enth and Girot finished the game.
The big southpaw was in great
shape, too.
Covalesdi pitched nice ball for
the Indians until the moist
tricklets form the clouds dampen-
ed the ball and his enthusiasm
alike. He was jerked in the
ninth, Ostdiek pulling some big
league stuff. Meter succeeded
him, walked a man who already
had three balls, retired another
and then gave way to Kraft, who
rid himself of Harris and then
gave way to Chief Cadreau, who
got Keller.
BY the way, the victory put us
back i'm third placement to Sc
attic, which was ousted yesterday
by the Beavers from first place.
McGinnity keeps right on using
pinch hitters. RueIi and kurfess
were again called on yesterday.
Neither were able to land safely.
Riordan caught for Girot.

nearly equal to that comprised with

about eleven square miles Of territory

been actually surveyed and as de-
scribed to the, committee last night
runs from Almonds creek. on the east
side OF Williamsburg avenue, to the
Richmond. Fredericksburg and Po-
tomac railway property on Broad
street. AT this point City Engineer
Boiling halted until he could receive
further Instructions from the COM
mittee as to where to cross the James
river and direct his line so as to take
in Swansboro and Maury cemetery
and complete the circuit by juncture
with the beginning OF the line on
Almonds creek.
Valuable Factory Property.
Within the circuit thus to be es-
tabiished all the valuable factory
property to the east OF Fulton would
be taken in. On the west Bryan
Park and the Chantilly farm would
be left out. c. G. Jones. OF the COM
mitsee. thought II would be well to
take in both, the Chantiily farm be-
cause II would be valuable as fu-
ture site for homes. Mr.. Boiling ex-
planned that as far M Bryan Park
was concerned IL would not be neces-
sary to take 1t in. as the city prac-
ticalIy controls II and has police
power over the park. The commit
tee was in favor of establishing the
line so as to take in the proposed
Richmond. Fredericksburg and Poto-
mac railroad union depot should II be
built in the West End.
The committee had much argument
as to what would be the better meth
cd now to pursue, whether to have a
subcommittee appointed to go over
the tentative line and report back to
the full committee, or Wheeler all ac-
ton should be taken by the commit
tee as whole. Both MT Jones and
Chairman Joseph T. Powers were in
