MAY USE INLAND WATERWAYS.
Feasibility for War Transportation
Under Discussion.

Use of inland waterways for war
transportation was discussed yesterday at
conference among Secretary Red
field, Daniel willard of the council of
national defense, Chairman Hurley of
the shipping board and Mai. Gen. Black
chief of Army engineers.
Feasibility of the government con-
structing q fleet of barges for the Mis-
sissippi and other large streams was
taken under consideration.
Recent experiments conducted by the
Department of Commerce have led Sec
rotary Redfeld to believe that the in
land waterways can be utilized to tre-
mendous advantage in easing the strain
on the railroads.
The scheme under discussion pro-
poses the use only of existing water
ways and not development. beyond the
normal program.

Keokuk highs football squad Wens
to Burlington today where they are
meeting Burlington high this after.
noon, The Burlington Gazette mao
this to say of the encounter:
The first big footballic engagement
of the year will be staged at the TIT
state Fair grounds gridiron here TO-
morrow afternoon when Burlington
high school will defend laurels against
the Keokuk high school aggregatlon-s
The Dam Towners come highly rec

to be victorious. Keokuk has gooo
record, and considerable experience,
while Burlington's entry is showing
not little promise in Its own benaH.
Burlington's team has had only q
small amount of real work-that Is, OF
regular game work-one game naVlns
been played two weeks ago, ana the
team being split up last week TO play
two practice games.

Both teams will go into tomorrow's
game in good shape, Burlington lads,
who were hurt last week are again IN
pretty good shape, and ready for the
fray. Coach Leeker is not yet positive
Of the lineup for tomorrow, as he
has some positions still open to con-
test on the part of several players. It
is not improbable that at least nrteen
Purple and Grey men will see service
in tomorrow's game.
A fine battle is assured. Burlington
and Keokuk are time-honored rivals,
in many branches, and although Bur
lington boasts margin in the number
of football games won. she will be put
for blood in the real style tomorrow.

flung into the breach with Joe Benz
the probable relief man in view OF
the warm welcome the Giants extend
ed to Dave Danforth In his only ap-
pearance.
The Sox are holding up their heads
with the argument they have been at
their worst all OF the year at the
Polo grounds They have won fewer
games there than any place in the
league, although the Yankees offered
them very weak opposition. Slumps
are a good thing to get out Of their
systems, they hold and they believe
1t is time for the Giants to slide into
one.
Giants Are Confident Boys.
The Giants exchanged places with
the White Sox as they rolled into
Chicago over a prairie white with
snow Back toward Gotham after
the first two games OF the series, the
Sox were happy and talking of four
straight Today the Giants are
wearing most OF the visible smiles in
this city with the Sox doing the hard
thinking.
The return OF a batting punch to
the Giant attack, the form shown by
Ferdie Schupp on the Polo ground,
coupled with Rube Benton's remark
able showing. has led to spread Of
confidence that will make lot of
trouble for the favored SONS of Chi
cago. There once was time when
John McGraw came from behind in
world series-in 1912-but he did
not win. 1t is generally conceded hs
has mightier team this year when
he met the Boston Red Sox in that
thrilling eight game layout five years
ago.
1t looks all Giants to the aam blers
at least to those who are backing
their feelings with coin. The re-
versai of things when the Giants
succeeded in whipping the Sox in
New York is the reason they are
given the edge in today's game. That
would throw them back into New
York one game to the good and with
the advantage of having home
crowd pulling for them in the decid-
ing struggle.
John McGraw's pitching selections
are much easier to make than Row
lands. He has proved the efficiency
Of left hand pitching against the
Sox and can continue to send south
paw slabsters against them" And he
has in Poll Perritt a capable right
handler fully good enough to hold the
Sox at bay should his left handler
crack.
