Standing of Teams
York Haven Dam May
Not Be Destroyed Is
Opinion of Lawyers

Whether or not the York Haven
Water and Power Company must tear
out the big dam across the eastern
channel of the Susquehanna at Duff
fey's Island, after all, is considered
problematical by many lawyers in
view of the opinion handed down to-
day by the Dauphin county court in
the case of John B. Rider against the
water company.
The Rider-York Haven Company
controversy has figured in the courts
for the last several years. 1t grew
out of Riders claim for damages to
his land when the water from the
river was diverted by the construc-
ton of the dam. The question of
eminent domain had been raised and
the court to-day holds that while the
water company could operate under
that right, 1t failed to observe certain
technicalities. Among other things
the company neglected to file its bond
to cover possible damages to Riders
property when the dam was built.
At the January term of Common
Pleas Court a jury will consider a
trespass action brought by Rider to
recover damages against the COM
pany. Lawyers believe that If a ver-
diet is allowed Rider the court will
entertain a motion to set aside the
original judicial order affecting the
dam. The court had ordered the dam
removed and it is believed that if the
company settles Riders claim for
damages the dam may remain intact.

CAMDEN TOSSERS
HERE SATURDAY
Eastern Leaguers Are Again
Factors in Race; Indepen-
dents Work Hard Daily

The Harrisburg Independents expect
another hard game Saturday night
when they line up against the Camden
Eastern League team. The Camden
boys are setting n fast pace in the
league race and are rapidly moving
toward the top in the standing.
They got away to poor start, losing
many games because of dissention
among the players, but their differ
ences have been patched up and they
are in winning streak.
Last week the "Skeeters" set up a
new scoring record against the DeNeri
team, in two games scoring As field
goals.
These two victories put the Camden
boys in the race again, and while they
are four and a half games behind the
Greys, they are far from being de-
clared out of the race.
The Independents held their weekly
scrimmage against the Central High
team yesterday afternoon. Captain
McCord gave special attention to the
defense. so that the team will be able
to break up the plays of the Camden
team.

MEALYS CORNER

Yesterdays sale of the Cubs brings
baseball peace nearer final action.
Considering the large amount of cash
involved in getting rid of troublesome
outlaws, it pays to so slow. One bad
break may cause n loss of thousands
of dollars after the season starts.
Indications are that baseball will get
a late start this year. The minors are
far behind their annual schedules.
Usually teams are in good shape by
this time as far as contracts are con-
cerned. Some of the minor leagues
have not made a start. They cannot
do much until the controversy between
the International League and Ameri-
can Association regarding Federal ter
ritory is settled.

BENZOATE OF SODA AGAIN.

A federal Judge has ruled that Wis
consin's food commission cannot deny
the sale of catsup containing benzoate
of soda, because the United States
food laws permit catsup to be "pre-
served" with benzoate Of soda.
Why should benzoate of soda be
necessary in the manufacture of catsup
from wholesome, well-ripened toma-
toes? How many housewives use any
artificial preservstive like benzoate of
soda when they put up catsup? None,
of course.
And yet, large manufacturing con-
Germ like Curtis Bros, goes into feder-
a court to restrain the State of Wis
consin from enforcing its pure food
laws.
And of course, the state law must
give way to the federal law, and we
permitted to flavor our dishes with cat
sup doctored with preservatives.
