SHOULD LIMIT
RESERVE LIST
Of BALL CLUBS
Scout Arthur Irwin Makes Good
Suestion to Help Out the
Weaker Teams.
By Frank G.. Menke.
TINE suggestion made by Arthur
Irwin, former big Lacquer. and

TINE suggestion made by Arthur
Irwin. former big Lacquer. and
now a baseball scout, relative
20 limiting the number Of players
that club reserve each season is
one Of the best that has edged its way
within the glare OF the sporting spot
light for many moon.
lrwin's suggestion, however can
not be taken as Il stands. II would
work too great an injury to base
ball teams. He would limit the num-
Der Of players that each club could
reserve each season to seven, or nine
This number. it may readily be seen,
Is entirely too small, as team left
with only seven or nine Of its play
ers would have to rebuild entirely.
II the limit were set at fifteen the
plan would work out wonderfully.
Fifteen men would leave the infield
and outfield intact and allow the
team 10 retain seven battery members
surely a sufficient number with
which to operate when bolstered UP
by the recruits
I UNITING a teams reserve list to
II fifteen, IL would mean that many
players, OF no value to one team ex-
cept in substitute positions, could be
obtained by club that has need for
their regular services. The case Of
the Philadelphia Athletics Is a sample.
Connie Mack has some mighty good
substitute infielders- players that
would make their mark II they could
play regularly-yet they have no
chance 10 supplant either McTnnis.
Baker Collins or Barry.
IL Comics substitutes were placed
on the market they would be grabbed
up speedily by clubs that have weak
infields, and in this way the clubs
fielding strength would he increased
and the player would be given a
chance to show his real worth and
make himself valuable enough TO
earn more money than he now does
as a substitute.
Such a scheme Il seems. would
tighten up the league races and
make baseball a better paying prop
osition all around, Practically
every one Of the first division teams
to-day carries secondary defense
that Is far better than the first de-
Tense of the tail-end clubs.
The same is true concerning the
pitching STATS. II the fifteen players
reserve rule were in effect II would
mean that many of the first division
clubs would have to let their second
string pitchers go TO some one of
the other clubs not so well fortified.
THE league could appoint a COM
mittee of megnates 10 set a
valuation on every player that
was not included in the reserve list.
Each club that wanted a particular
player could put In a request for him
IL more than one club wanted q
player, lots could be drawn under the
same system as during the drafting
season
In case no major league made a
bid for the player who was on the
market. then the class IA teams
would he permitted TO bid for him,
II they made none the class A teams
would he given a chance and so on
down the list The minor league
clubs. as well as the major league. II
will be seen. would benefit by this
plan.

ROSE P|TONOF IN
BIGGEST WATER
RACE IN HISTORY.
Arranges Amazing Match With
Harry Elionsky To Be Held
Off Boston in June. 4
By Tad

~ OSTON, Jan. 31.-Rose Pitonof,
Is Boston's champion girl swim
mer of the world, will meet
Harry Elionsky, OF New London, in
what is likely to be the greatest en-
durance swim on record In June next
in Boston Harbor.
Miss Pitonofs father, Eli Pitonof,
has deposited with the sporting edi-
tor of Hearst's Boston American
check for $50, covering a similar for
felt made on behalf of Elionsky. who
had previously accepted Miss Pito-
nof's challenge to the world for such
a race.
Under the terms made by Pitonof.
each Of the contestants must deposit
$3.50 more at least ten days before
the date of the race, The contest will
therefore be $500 match AFFAIR."
$1,000 match. The date of the race
will be fixed before June l.
The terms call for a battle to fin
ish-such a swimming contest as was
never held before in the world.
The contestants must swim back
and forth between Charlestown
bridge and Boston Light until one or
the other is forced to quit.
WHEN one gives UP the other-tfba
W or she goes as far as the one who
surrenders has gone-will become the
champion and will win the money.
To swim from Charlestown bridge
to Boston Light once IS an amazing
water stunt. Few have done It. To
go to the Light, turn a buoy and re-
turn has been considered a we'll nigh
impossible feat To continue further
over the same course seems super
human If 1t can be done, 1t seems
likely that Miss Rose Pitonof and
Harry Elionsky are among the few
who can do 1t.
1t will be a test of sheer endurance.
The last one out of the water Is to
win, under the conditions described
above.

All the Water So Far Obtained is
Consumed as Rapidly as it is
Secured

There has been pronounced i'm
provement in the water situation
since Wednesday but the village to-
day is yet without fire protection.
There is, however, sufficient water
for domestic use in most localities.
This morning the water that came in
to the system during the night filed
the pipes SO that it backed up" at
far as the Burgess road. When the
village began 10 draw on this supply
however, residents in that vicinity
were. soon unable TO get any moisture
from their faucets.
Arrangements were made yester.
day with the Henry NJ. futile com.
pany to keep n sufficient number of
horses on hand TO move the steame'
in case of fire. The authorities
thought it best keep the village
team at the fire station to move the
truck. In case of fire in the business
section it would be possible to use
the steamer in pumping water from
the powe- trunk which parallels
Main street.
After working nearly all Tuesday
night Superintendent Mahon and his
gang of men took up the task yeste,-
day morning of locating tho frozen
section In the mountain pipe line. BY
testing az the blow-outs the stoppage
was finally fixed in stretch OF pipe
shat has given similar trouble in the
past
A quantity OF hard wood was Sc
cured from John Rooney and about
II O'Clock IN the forenoon a continu-
Gus line OF fire was built extending
for distance OF a hundred yards d.
rectly over the pipe. Late in the af-
ternoon the heat from the fires appar-
Gritty reached the ice in the pipe and
water began coming through The
line has NOT been entirely cleared but
the fires We're kept burning all night
and Will be maintained until the thaw
ing out is completed.
OF course there is no water as yet
in the reservoir. All that comes
through the supply lines passes di-
rectly into the system.

UNCLE SAM WILL
BUILD RAILROAD
IN ALASKA
Administration Bill Passes
House With Big Majority
AT A COST OF $4,000, 600
Road is to Be a Thousand Miles Long
and is to Tap One or More Coal
Fields

Washington, Feb. 19.-The admin
istration Alaskan railroad bill author
zing the president to construct $S5,
100000 railroad from Alaska's coast
to it's great coal fields, was passed by
the House at Washington late yester-
day by vote of $50 to 81. A similar
measure already has passed the Sen
ate, and the bills will be taken up at
once in conference between the two
houses, with a view TO sending il
quickly to the president, who has sig
nifled his intention of signing it.
At the eleventh hour, after a sharp
parliamentary skirmish. the House
eliminated from the bill as reported
by the territories committee a provis-
ion authorizing a bond issue of $685.
100000 to finance the railroad and to
be paid off by the proceeds of govern
ment land sales in Alaska The Sen.
ate bill provided for a S40,000,OO0
bond issue. Representative Fitzger-
aid of New York led a fight which re-
suited in striking out the entire oond
provision from the bill. Under The
amended measure the project would
be financed out of the current funds
in the treasury. the president being
limited to S35,0O0,000 and $i.00o.0OJ
being appropriated for immediate ex-
penses. Congress would appropriate
each year the amount estimated TO
be necessary for the construction CT
the road
The bill provides for the construc-
ton of road mot to exceed 1000
miles. to be so located as to connect
one or more of the open Pacific ocean
harbors on the southern coast of
Alaska with the navigable waters in
the interior of Alaska and with a coal
field or fields yielding coal sufficient
in quality and quantity for naval use,
so as to best aid in the development
of the agricultural and mineral o.
other resources of Alaska" A lu-
tile effort was made by the opponents
of the bill, led by Representative Day
export of Oklahoma, to postpone the
final vote on the measure until next
Wednesday
