Recently l was a guest Of the city
of Trenton, n. ]. 1t was the occa-
sion of the Inauguration of the work
of installing municipal docks on the
Delaware riverfront in that city.
The enterprise and ambition of
Mayor Donnelly and his fellow COM
missioners impressed me. was sur
prised to learn that all of the work
in contemplation was preparatory to
the completion of a twelve-foot chan
mel to that city.
After many obstacles had been over
come, the United States government
was persuaded to cooperate. lt has
already expended $164 900, and an
extra appropriation of $4,000 has
been promised. The city of Trenton
has spent $4,000. At the present
time it has arranged for a bond issue
for another $4,000 to help complete
the work. A total expenditure of
$4,000 is going to equip the city
of Trenton with the facilities of COM
peting with other cities on the line
of the proposed inland waterways
route.
The enthusiasm of the citizens of
Trenton was apparent on all sides.
Men of prominence from various
places in the East were present All
agreed that, with the completion of
the work, the city of Trenton would
be in active competition for the water
borne commerce which is increasing
daily.
Bear in mind that the docks in
Trenton are MUNICIPAL DOCKS.
They will not in any way be impeded
by private ownership. Parts of the
riverfront that will not be available
for the purposes of navigation are
being reclaimed and made fast land

Captain Huebel, Of the Ryndam,
wirelessed that he was making about
13 miles an hour toward New York;
that water was gaining in the holds,
but that he could control the water in
the engine rooms. The extent of dam
age to the Cuneo was not mentioned,
but obviously she was not badly in
jured as repeated reference was made
in the wireless to passengers having
been transferred to her.
One brief wirelss dispatch said that
passengers and crew we're getting
into the boats' This was the only
suggestive detail OF the thrilling scene
that must have been enacted in the
darkness and fog. But the fact that
the transfer was made safely. under
such adverse conditions, indicated that
the situation must have been calmly
directed by the officers.
There were only three Americans

YANKEES GET BACK
IN FIRST DIVISION
Donovan's Team Attains
Fourth Place Again by De-
feating Nationals, 4 to l..
TWO-BAGGER AND HOMER
IN THE PINCHES DECIDE
Drives by Pipp and Harfzell Bring
Across the Winning
Runs.
BY j. ED GRILLo.

NEW YORK, July 1.-The Nationals
siipped back out of the first division
yesterday when the Yankees beat them
10 i. The breaks of the game caused
the defeat of the visitors Ordinarily
the Griffmen would have had several
runs IN the opening inning and the
moral effect of this sort of a lead
would have been far reaching. But
as 1t was they got but one run during
the entire game just because things
did not break their way.
The Yankees on the other hand got
two extra base hits which netted them
all their four tallies. A double by
Pfpp in the third came with two out
and two on and sent two home, while
Hartzelrs home-run drive came with
one out and one on in the SIXTH
cinchins the game.
This is what happened to the visitors
IN the first, thus robbing them of a
lead. Connolly, the first man up, hit
the first ball pitched on a low line
toward left. Maisel speared the bali
with one hand and then after Foster
had been retired Shanks and Milan
singled: but for the hard luck Connolly
experienced there would have been at
least one run across and more in sight.
Then Shanks died in an attempted
double steal.
With one out in the third High sin
gled. and after Peckinpaugh had been
retired Maisel drew a pass. Pipp hit
into left for two bases, bringing both
runners home. The Nationals got
within one of that score in the fourth,
which Milan opened with a triple and
came home on Neff's single, and they
had a grand chance in the fifth, but
luck again was against them. Shaw
walked to start this inning and Con-
molly hit to left for a base. Foster
drove one toward first and the ball
bounded high, but not high enough, as
Pipp pulled it down and threw Shaw
out trying to reach third. The next
two batters were unable to do any
thing.
After Pipp struck out in the sixth
Cook singled and Hartzell brought
him home with a clean-cut home run
to right center There was no scor-
ing after that. though Hopper, who
took Shaw's place in the seventh.
walked four men in the two innings he
pitched. WARRIOR held the visitors in
check in the seventh and eighth and
in the ninth Henry singled with one
out. Mcbride forced him at second
and then Pinch Hitter Williams popped
up a little foul to Maisel. ending the
game.

Mack Says That Shortstop Will Be
With Team Despite "Guessers."

BOSTON. Mass. July Manager
Connie Mack of the Athletics figured
the weakness Of his pitchers alone
responsible for the loss of both of yes
terday's ball games to the Red Sox.
He says he is satisfied his team will

ers get better and said he positively
has no changes in his club to an
nounce. He said also he had no pur-
chases coming at present and that he
was figuring on releasing none Of his
men.
Shortstop Jack Barry is here with the
club. He reported yesterday, but his
injured finger was not in such shape
that Mack was willing to send him
into the lineup in either of yesterdays
games. Kopf played splendid ball and
Connie says he intends to give him all
the chance in the world.
Regarding the stories of the clubs
intention to let Barry go, Manager
Mack would make no statement. He
said some one guessed that Barry
was going to be sent away and that
1t was Just as good a guess" that
Barry will remain. After that Connie
added that he expected to use Barry
again before the team leaves Boston.
but that he certainly will not allow
him to take any real chances with his
injured hand.
