DEEPEN CONN. RIVER
 AS FAR AS H0LYOKE
Bill Introduced Calls for Expedi-
 lure of Over $1,oo0,ooo
Especial to the Herald. )

Washington, Jan. 3.-Representa- tive TreadWay of Massachusetts has introduced a bill appropriating the sum of $1,015,600 for the improve ment of the Connecticut river between Ho1yoke and Hartford. The object as stated in the bill is to secure 8 chan nel twelve feet deep between the two cities as recommended by the army en- gineers to the fifty-ninth and sixty first congresses. The bill provides that a suitable lock and damfor surmount ing the Enfield Rapids shall be con- structed by private or corporate in- terests, free of cost to the United States; that navigation through said lock shall be free from any toll or charge; that these constructing the lock and dam assume all responsibill> ty for claims for damages that may arise from flowage rights, for injury to water power, or from any other source and that after construction the lock shall become the property of the United States and shall be maintained and operated as the expense of the federal government.
 The report of the chief of engineers of the army sent to congress at the beginning of this session shows that prior to June 30, 1915, there had been expended on the Connecticut river above Hartford the sum of $l25, 5,315.33 The report says: "No permanent ben eft has resulted from the work so far done by the United States, and none is to be anticipated until a compre- hensive project is adopted.' During the last fiscal year the only one of the old wing dams that had been objec- tionab1e has been removed.

WHEN CONNIE FOOLED POP.
Anson Made Home Run But Fingered
 on Third and Was Left.

Once upon a time-in the days of long ago--"Cap" Anson hammered q ball over the fence, but refused to ad- vance farther than third base, al- though he was entitled to a home run. and his team was three runs be- hind at the time. Why?
 Well, in those days the catcher played back until there was a man on base. Connie Mack happened to be the catcher that day and Whitney was the pitcher for the club oppos- ing the Chicagoans. Anson figured that if he fingered on third Mack would have to move up back of the batter and Whitney would be forced to pitch slower. Anson knew that one run would be useless to his side, and he thought that slower pitching would enable his men to stage a bat ting rally.
 However, Connie foiled the shrewd Anson by taking long chance in re- fusing to move up after Pfeffer had been thrown out at first Then he took up his station back of the bat ter and Ed Williamson famed. leav- ing Anson stranded on third. despite the fact that he had made home-run drive.

is between two and three feet. The upper dike at the mouth of the Far mington river which was constructed in 1871, was removed during the last fiscal year to a depth of five feet be- low mean low water and two small piers located a short distance above the dike were also removed, at an eX- pense of s7,1S2.O4.
 On July 1, 1914, there stood to the credit of the Connecticut river above Hartford the sum of s23, 3,195.02 but on March 4, 1915, $10,00O of that sum was transferred to other projects as provided for in the last river and har- Dor bill, leaving $13,195.02 to the credit to the project on June 30, 1915. The cost of the improvement at the mouth of the Pennington river and outstanding liabilities reduced that sum to S5,933.55 which IS still avail able for the maintainance of the im- prOVeme entS.

 cal Basket TOSSers

Hartford, Jan. 4.-Yale defeated Springfield college, 40 to 27. here last night. Luck played a big part in the contest, the Springfield players -c- peatedly making fine shots for the basket, only to have the ball miss the net by hair. The game was wit messed by one of the largest crowds of the season, consisting mainly of Yale alumni.
 Yale piled up big lead in the first half through the inability of the Springfield forwards to get by Char- lie Taft, captain of the New Haven team, and also because of the great work of Kenney.

HOPPE IS CAREFUL.
Famous Billiard Champ Takes Plenty
 of Time for All Shots.

Famous Billiard Champ Takes Plenty
 of Time for All Shots.
 According to Willie Hoppe, the wiz ard of all wizards at billiards, the diff ference between a good player and a bad player is the difference in control of the more delicate muscles of the wrist.
 'I'll tell you, though, why a lot of our expert players lose matches" said Jack Doyle, poolroom proprietor, who is not so modest, and right here is probably the secret of Hopes many victories. "They get careless. All of the good players have about the same form, but most of them have a ten dency to grow careless on easy shots.
 1T have seen dozens of important matches lost just that way. Hoppe noticed that when a kid, and has made a point of never taking a shot easy if the balls are but two inches apart. He changes his stance on every shot, and even if the balls do not move more than one-quarter of an inch. Very few other players do that, and lose through carelessness.
 Hoppe admits that being careful has been his method of winning matches, but in the plain matter of skill he says that he doesn't know just why he is a better billiard player than anybody else.
 It is Hopes opinion that Jake Shaefer was the greatest billiard player that he ever saw, but he ex- presses regret at never having seen Frank Ives.

Big Town Savings

fTOnl JuQSe.
 Looking back at what it has meant dur
 ing the last 20 years, the word sky scraper" must be accepted as the most elastic contribution to the dictionary It is said Big Town people do not make good neighbors. I have looked carefully
 into that question and find it does not hold true. Once I knew an occupant of front flat who could remember the name of the family across the way with out going over and looking at the mail box.
 When a young woman gets chance to jump up and give feeble old lady seat in street car, she does it with an air of triumph and looks around at the men as much as to say: Now. you skulking things, look at the fine example I have set your The chances are that the men were so occupied with their newspapers they hadn't seen the old lady, and one of them would have given her seat in an- tunity has been lost and the young
 woman who has grabbed her chance to
 show off just lords it over them during
 the rest of the ride.
 Most of the Big Town baseball players
 come from little country towns. Baseball
 requires stamina, which country people
 have. There are lots of city people who
 are good short distance runners and short distance athletes in general, but it takes country air and country hard work to fit one for long grind
 Big Town people used to read at home,
