NEW YORK, Jan. 16.-Charles II.
Ebbets, discoverer Of the Battle OF
Long Island. and several other ex-
cuses for holidays, is still in the ring
for Sunday baseball.
Winding up his campaign through
the baseball season last summer
when he obtained signatures from
thousands who visited his Brooklyn
Park. he is ready to make an attempt
10 get a bill through the New York
Legislature.
Critics in this city are OF the opin-
fon that Ebbets is gong too far In
trying to wedge in an extra playing
day. and point to figures, which they
say. show that New York. with its
six-day schedule, draws more persons
than the Western cities with seven
day schedules.
How interesting.
When you get down 70 the root Of
things and find that New York is
six or seven times the size OF most
Western cities. It is easy TO see why
that-is.
Brooklyn isn't hurt by weekend

compllshed in the borough across the

Everyone has plenty of water and some too much in the Kougarok, both dredges were work ing full blast, with apparently satis- factory results, and will have a good season. Too much water was the cry among the men mining in open cuts, and it is said that in places where before there was always a shortage at this time of the year, there is now an abundance. Coffee creek, for ex- ample, which never has been re- markable for a surplus of water has now quite flood raging through it.
