STUDYING THE MISSOURI.
Water Resources Of the Entire River Ba-
sin Being Investigated.

sin Being Investigated.
systematic study OF Missouri river
and It's tributaries is being carried on
by the United States Geological Survey.
Considering the varied character Of the
streams of the Missouri river basin and
their great economic value for irriga-
ton, power, and other purposes, the in
vestigatiou is one OF the highest impor-
lance.
The water supply of this great drain
age area Is the subject OF publication
recently issued by the geological survey,
entitled Surface Water Supply Of the
Missouri River Basin, 1912" twater-sup-
ply paper $3.50, by w. A. Lamb, Robert
Follansbee and II. d. Padgett. This re-
port contains the records of flow at 1870
permanent stations OF the survey dur
ing the year 1912, data which are neces-
sary to every form of water development,
whether II be water power, navigation,
irrigation, or domestic water supply.
Some OF the tributary streams are ex.
ceedingly variable in flow; others, like
the Niobrara in Nebraska, are remark
ably uniform.
The Missouri proper is formed in south
western Montana by the junction Of
three streams which were discovered by
Lewis and Clark in 1906 and were named
BY them jefferson, Madison and Gallatin
rivers. OF these three Jefferson river
drains the largest area and is considered
the continuation of the main stream.
This part of Montana is mountainous
and affords many excellent water-power
sites. Among the principal tributaries
OF the Missouri are the Marias, Mussel-
shell, Yellowstone Cheyenne, Platte and
Kansas. The western part OF the basin
is in the arid belt and the eastern part
is in the semi-arid and humid regions.
Ten states of the union are drained in
part by the Missouri river. Rising at
the Red Rock lakes, at an elevation of
G 700 feet above sea level, this stream
descends through the Rocky mountains
and energies on the broad prairie land
a few miles below the city OF Great Falls,
Mont. From that point il is accounted
navigable stream with an easy grade,
and in passing through the Dakotas and
along the borders Of Nebraska, Kansas
and Iowa it receives the flow Of great
tributaries, so that as it crosses the state
Of Missouri and joins the Mississippi a
short distance above St Louis it becomes
one of the large rivers Of the world Its
total drainage area is about $4,000
square miles in extent and comprises. in
addition to the states above mentioned,
large areas in Wyoming and Colorado
and smaller area in the southwestern
part of Minnesota.

CAPITAL WELL REPRESENTED.
District Schools Will Send Squads
to Tome Track Meet.

PORT DEPOSIT. Md. May all ar
have been made for the
ninth field and track meet at the Tome
School to be held at Port Deposit Sat
urday. There are more than $50 entries
from twenty-five schools. Washington
seems to be making the strongest bid
for the meet st. Adams School is
sending a team of twelve men; Central
High School has entered team of
eighteen; Technical High School will
have eight and Western High School
five. Last Saturday st. Adams easily
won the NJ. A. C. meet through the won
derful running of Brewer and Carter.
Brewer alone won enough points to
win the meet for his school. He has
an excellent chance to repeat his sue
cess at Tome next Saturday. However,
II Hornsby, the star Splinter of Tome,
who was not able to place at NJ. A. c.
on account of pulled tendon, comes
round, he will give Brewer the race of
his life Hornsby already has beaten
him twice Brewer will have another
man to beat out the individual points
in Devereux Of Tome. Devereux looks
like a sure winner in the weight events
and has good chance to place in the
high hurdles and the broad jump Tome
always made a good showing, finishing
either second or third.
The track has been put in the best of
shape and the athletes ought to do
themselves justice. Although the COM
petition is sure to be up to the usual
standard, the management does not ex-
pect large crowd because of the ia ct
that it was impossible to arrange for
the usual excursion by boat from Bal
timore. 1t seems that since the la st
meet there has been a law passed that
does not allow excursion boats to be
run before May Is.

iris Speaker was in bad with the Ros-
ton crowds until the Nationals got into
action here. Iris had made but four
nl,s during the seas SON. and he was not
popular with the fans. But he got in
action Tuesday and Wednesday and he
was cheered to the echo on both occa-
Sions. His three-b base hits were really re-
sponslble for both victories and now that
he has started TO hit it Is apt to be
some time before he is held in check
again.
Rondeau and Morgan both stole bases
on Cady. but this advantage did not
amount to anything. for the batters who
succeeded them could not get the hit
which would have meant a rum
Eighteen innings without a run is the
Nationals record now However. they
are apt to jump in some day and roll
up a record-breaking score That is the
way of base ball.
For the purpose of practicing econ
omy on the present trip Manager Grif-
fifth this morning decided to send Jack
Ryan. Harry Harper and Charley Pick
to Washington to remain there until
called should they be wanted RYAN
Will be In charge of the two players,
who have instructions to work out
every day: Griffith is particularly
anxious to have Harper regain his con-
troll so that he can be used when the
present trip is over. Bert Gallia is
slated to do the pitching against the
Mackmen in the game this afternoon
which will be called at $50 o'clock.

BY ]. ED GRILLO.

PHILADELPHIA. May 6.--While the
pitching of the Nationals is coming up
to every prediction. the staff proving
itself one of the strongest in the
league, the efficient twirlne is not ac-
complishinS anything but keeping the
batting averages of opposing players
down to "a minimum. Victories are not
being obtained, for the very good rea-
son that right at present the Griffmen
are not doing any more batting than
would some team made up of old la
dies
The few men who are hitting fairly
well are not getting them at the right
time, or are unfortunate enough to
have the balls caught by some of the
opposing fielders. but the team AS a
whole is SO weak with the stick that
the opposition has but to get run or
two to assure itself of victory
1t, of course, stands to reason that in
due time there will be an Improvement
in the batting, but until that period
arrives there is not much chance of
games being won. The DOMINIC of a
Washington uniform seems to end the
careers of all hitters and there is no
way to calculate when the end of the
batting slump will be reached.
Joe Boehling, like Walter Johnson,
pitched a game which would have won
ordinarily, but the good slab work was
wasted by the inability of the team to
get any runs. Boehling really pitched
one of the best games of his career,
for. as was the case the day before,
there was nothing done by his team
mates in an offensive way to encourage
him. Time and time again he worked
himself out of tight places, and it was
unfortunate, indeed. that ne should lose
his game by a wild pitch just when he
was fair way to work himself out
Of the final hole.
Griffith made a change in his batting
order, which, however. did not have the
desired effect. Milan was moved ahead
of Foster for the sake of having two
fast men at the top OF the order. Nor
gan, who seems to have come into his
hitting stride, was showed above Rom
deau. While the change may eventual
ly be beneficial, ii did not work we'll
yesterday.
Gandil and Morgan both hit the ball
again yesterday, but they got but one
hit each, because they are still hitting
where the fielders are.
This chap McNally. who is playing
third base for the Red Sox, is one of
the most remarkable fielders in that
position that has been seen of late
years. What is most surprising is the
fact that McNally has never played
third before. He was shortstop at
ST. Paul last year. and was drafted by
the Boston club, but to see him handle
himself one would suppose that he had
played the position all his life. He is
a very weak hitter. however. and for
this reason is not apt to hold the job
when Gardner gets ready to take 1t up
within the next few days.
Gallia or Shaw is slated to do the
pitching here today, but there is not
much hope for either unless the team
as a whole gets d base hit now and
then when there are men on the bases.
1t is needless to say that Manager
Griffith is very much discouraged as a
result of the miserable hitting of his
team He has said from game to game

MACK AFTER FoRDHAM STAR.

NEW YORK. May 6.-Connie Mack.s
interest in the Fordham-Holy Cross
base ball game. which he witnessed
yesterday at Fordham Field, was con-
centrated on Carroll. the Maroon third
sacker. Mack and Carroll had a con-
ference after the game, and Pitcher Bill
Walsh says Mack offered a contract to
the Maroon star to take effect the first
day of June. after the closing of Ford
hams season.
This Is Carrolrs fourth year on the
Maroon varsity at third base. He leads
the varsity team in batting with a per-
centage of .412, and is q third year
medical student. The third baseman of
the Athletics at present is Kopf, who
played shortstop for the Maroon varsity
two years ago, and captained Ford
hams basket ball team.
