Commissioners Content With
District Bill Reported
in House.

When Informed by representative OF
The Star this afternoon of provisions
contained in the District of Columbia ap-
preparation bill, as reported today to the
House. all three District Commissioners
expressed themselves as pleased with the

Col. Judson. the Engineer Commissioner
of the District. said ne had not had time
to study the measure as reported by the
committee. From hasty examination of
the reported provisions Of the bill, how
ever. it appeared to him to be very sat
isfactory.
Gen. Johnston considered that the items
of increases reported in the bill. especially
with reference to his departments, the
police and fire departments, were en-
couraSing.
THE reported increases in the police
department of five motor patrol wagons
Will greatly enhance the efficiency of that
department., said Gen. Johnston The
new motor apparatus for the fire depart
ment allowed by the committee is neces-
sary. and step in the right direction.
Especially is the allowance of an item
for a new repair and storage building for
the fire department a great encourage
ment in the economic and efficient ad
ministratiOn of that department"
The budgetary reorganization of the
health department at the request OF the
chairman of the subcommittee. Gen.
Johnston said. will greatly simplify the
prepa ra ton and submission of the health
departments estimates hereafter.
CuEo H. Rudolph, president of the
board of Commissioners, learned of the
items carried in the appropria ton bill
upon his return to the Municipal build
ing this afternoo nfrom. attending the in
Surance investigation.
while | have had no opportunity to
investigate the provisions of the BILL"
he said. the increase Of $551 ,23I recon-
mended over the amount appropriated
last year is encoura ging.
Il am glad to know that the construc-
.i"n OF central hlgh school build
ing. at cost of $1,000. 900. is author
lied. This is an important and much
needed Improvement. The provision to
give the Commissioners control of the
water front is important. and | trust
it may be favorably acted upon"

Evers Will Work

CHICAGO. Jan. H.-If Johnny Evers
and the Cubs land first, second, or
third place in the National League
race this season, Evers Will get more
money than Frank Chance does"
Owner Charles w. Murphy. OF the
West Side club, made the above start
ling statement this afternoon. IT
came from him after reading clip
ping that Chance McGraw, Jennings.
Mack, Clarke. Tinker, Stahl, and Griff
are the highest sa.aried men in the
major league, and that the eight will
drag down $100,00J this coming year.
Murphy's Ire was aroused when he
learned that he had been referred to as
saying that Frank Chance was not
in his normal mental condition.
That's an absolute falsehood. he
exclaimed. as he paced back and forth
in his office, his eyes flashing. It's
cruel thing to attribute 10 me. I
have never at any time said word
derogatory to Frank Chances mental
condition. ! consider him today Az
sound mentally and physically as ever

Schulz May Develop
Into Star SouthpaW

NEW YORK, Jan. H.-Frank Chance,
the new manager of the Highlarders,
will have some excellent green material
to develop next spring when he gathers
his players around him for their prac-
tice stunts and not the least promising
is Al Schulz, obtained from the Savan-
nah club of the South Atlantic League.
Clark Griffith was after this lad for his
fast travelling Senators, but lost him
for some reason or other. The Yankees
grabbed him.
Schulz, who is huge southpaw
hasn't been touted as much as Rube
Marquard or Marty O'Toole, but he Is
said TO have the makings of fully as
great a star as either of them. Chance
will have every opportunity of trying
him out at Bermuda and he may re-
turn to New York destined for the
greatest laurels.
Whether Schulz will live up to the
nice things this South Atlantic League
player said about him remains to be
seen, but several New York critics
who saw the young left-hander in ac-
ton at the end of last season have
hunch he will make a real pitcher.
He did well whenever Wolverton call
ed upon him and pitched good games
against Boston and Washington.
Schulz, pitching for third place
team in a six-club league last season,
finished second among the South At
lantic League pitchers, his average
being .676. He won twenty-five games
and lost twelve. The pitcher who fin
ished ahead of him participated in only
twenty-one games.
Schulz may find the major league
batsmen a little harder to fool than
the Class c South Atlantic Leaguers.
However, this youngster seems to have
possibilities. The Highlanders never
had a first class southpaw' unless 1t
club In 1903. Since then Doc Newton
and Jim Vaughn were the only left
handlers of ability the club possessed.
and laziness and indifference made
both these pitchers almost valueless.
