COACH RICE DISSATISFIED
Rowing Conditions at Columbia Not
at All to Liking of Mentor

NEW YORK, Oct. 15.-Coach Jim Rice
Is so dissatisfied with rowing conditions
at Columbia that he threatens to call
off the race scheduled with Yale on
November 12. Lack OF candidates has
rendered both the varsity and freshmen
chances of a successful boat almost hope
less. Less than 30 candidates answered
the first varsity call last week, and the
freshmen responded even more poorly, IA
coxswains and IA oarsmen answering the
freshman call.
Four candidates slated for the first eight
have been lost to the Blue and White
cause within the week, Ferris, Jauss and
Spurgeon having been forced to give up
the sport because of parental objection.

Alexander Disappoints

The Phillies show in a different way.
Alexander won and lost game out of
two starts. He achieved the only Philly
victory. Yet it must be said that Alex
tnder was a trihe disappointing in his
work Not that he pitched bad uall. He
pitched very well, holding Boston to three
runs In two games. But his work was
only faint shade above the form shown
BY Mayer In his first game and Chalmers
IN the fourth battle.
He did well enough for an average
showing. but there was no trace of the
hero stun expected. In both games the
REQ Sox hit the big star fairly hard,
eoubing him all told for II swats and
most OF these were hard line drives.

Luderus and Bancroft. The big first

Red Sox Run to Form

Boston played true enough to form,
fhere was no break in her defense. Barry
furnished the excellent ball he was known
fo have IN stock. The infield fell back
of the radiant brilliancy of the outfield,
but It did its work well enough. And
fhe pitching was about what any one
who had followed the fortunes of the
Red sox expected the pitching to be.
There were no Red Sox upsets. The en-

intact through the series.

RIVER MEN MEET TO PROTEST.
Object to Recommended Abandonment
Of Missouri Waterway improvements.
Id. AsSoc;ated Press

Kansas City, Mo-, Aug. I'm re-
snonse to a call issued Aug. by the
Kansas civ Commercial Club for
ronf.r.uo. concerning a report OF
Lieut.. Col. Herbert Deakyne, war de-
partment engineer on the advlsaoillt!
of improving the Missouri river al
government expense, consressnen'
delegates from the river association,
and representatives from commerclai
and civic organizations from missouri
Kansas. Iowa, Minnesota and Nebraska
met here today.
In his report Lieutenant Colonel
Deakyne asserted that the present
and reasonable prospective commerce
of the Missouri river between Kansas
CITY and the mouth was not suthcient
to warrant the continuance of the pres
ent project He recommended that
the present project be modified so as
to provide for snaggins alone at an es-
timated cost of $40, 900 per year and
that all other work would be stopped.
The plan for improving the Missouri
river as outlined by commission OF
army engineers and approved by con-
gress was to appropriate s2O,00o,eoo al
the rate of 100000 year for ten
years to clear the river so as to insure
a six-foot channel. adequate for navf-
CATION purposes from Kansas City TO
ST. Louis. Six million dollars have
been appropriated for the work since
1910.
Discussing the report Of Colonel
Deakyne, Congressman w. P. Borland,
of Kansas City, said:
"a crisis has come for the indus
tries of the Missouri valley. II this
section of the country, located the
farthest of any on natural trace
route, is to derive any benefit from the
Panama canal. the Improvement OF the
Missouri; river IS instantly apparent
The Mississippi river presents nat
ural outlet into the Gulf OF Mexico Tor
South American trade. II this Is taken
advantage of especially by our grain
shippers, additional profit can be Sc
cured thru the cutting out OF the mid
dleman in the form of the English job
Der. AS the situation now stands, we
ship raw wheat to England. chiefly to
Liverpool, where it is turned into the
finished product and sent in English
bags to the South American trade.
English labor benefits thereby and the
by products are lost to US In the trans
action. With the establishment OF
hydro electric plants in the Missouri
valley, and there are many fine points
where they are available. the middle
man is cut out and additional profit is
put into the pockets Of the grower.
THE same situation holds good for
much Of our canned goods and COM
modities With direct trade routes
long hauls are obviated and additional
profits enjoyed by the producers. Rail
road freight rates have been brought
down by the recent activity Of the
river, showing the result of healthy
competition.~

POTATOES ARE GROWN
SkLTED AND PEPPERED
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

Appleton, Wis, Aug 17.-Word re-
ceived here from the Waupaca potato
belt is that method has been devised
there Of producing potatoes peppered
and sailed. The grower solemnly
avows that he hopes to be able to pro-
duce a potato which is also buttered.
The peppering development has been
thorough success. for the grower has
succeeded in giving the desired flavor
by planting green peppers between the
hills of potatoes and the pepper es-
sence was communicated in this man
ner, presumably thru the pollen OF the
flower to the potato.
The salt was provided by the use OF
special wash of brine, made Of po-
tasium chloride. at the roots OF the po-
tato vine. E. J. Rose is doing the ex-
Defimenting.

at the time. France gained three
points over the low record, selling at

point. closing at CAT.
Situation Up to Foreigners.
What to do to remedy the situation
engaged the attention Of bankers with
International connections at their in
formal conference late today. 1t was
decided to do nothing, chiefly because
the remedy lay across the ocean with
the foreign buyers.
1t was generally believed that the
present abnormal situation would not
be permitted to continue long. The
obvious remedy seemed to be to sell
American securities held abroad. Es-
adjustment here OF q big foreign
credit, estimated conservatively at
$500. ooo. 900, was thought to be abso-
lutely necessary II exchange rates are
figures.
The amount OF war contracts on
which full or nearly full payments will
be due on or before Oct approx
mates $500 0O0, 900 to $500. 100000. This
is in addition to the huge total OF more
than $1,000, 600, 900 owed by Europe I'd
the United States at the close OF the
fiscal year June 80.
An optimistic feature OF the situa-
ton was the general belief that sec
ond large shipment Of gold is on Its
way to New York. Approximately
500 ono COO in gold coin reached here
last week from London. Wall stree:
heard today that the second shipment
of gold was coming from South Africa
and Australia. Other gold shipments
too. it was believed, would follow. all
OF which were expected to have cor
receive effect upon the exchange mar
kets.
