Johnny Hayes, Marathon
Hero, K. of c. Secretary

Johnny Hayes, who a few years
ago swept across the athletic sky as
a star of the first magnitude when
he won the marathon race at the
Olympic games in London, is anxious
to do his bit" in the war by serving
as a Knights of Columbus secretary
overseas.
Until 1908, Hayes, clerking in
New York department store, had
done nothing to signalize himself. He
was a good clerk, selling ribbons by
day and training in long distance
runs by night. Then came the Olym-
pic games and Hayes became a world
wide celebrity when he was first to
breast the tape in the famous mara
thon. Incidentally he wore the COL
ors of the American Athletic
Club, New York City. 1t was the
first marathon in the Olympic games
ever won by a runner from this
country.
Hayes would now like to chase a
few Huns himself over the marathon
distance but since~he cannot do that,
he is trying to do the next best thing
by volunteering to go overseas as a
K. of c. secretary, in which capacity
his knowledge of athletics would not
come amiss.

The West End Jr. team in the In

last nights game because Suburban
used a player from the Appleby
team. Manager j. S. Belsinger, of
the Suburban, called at the Tele-
graph sporting editors desk to-day
and explained that he thought this
protest unwarranted for the reason
that he only had eight men ready to
play, one of his men having been
called out iIl the draft. The alterna-
tives were to forfeit the game or
go ahead with eight men. He took
third way, and used the Appleby
player. Another jolt was handed
the Suburban management when
Morrison, a catcher, refused to play
in the outfield. hence handicapping
the team further. Cooper pitched
such clever ball for Suburban that
the club would very likely have won
even with only eight men in the line
up. The score:

Ontario government. It distributes
power to Ontario municipalities with
n radius of 200 miles of the Falls at
low cost. A large part of the cur
rent generated on the Canadian side.
formerly exported and distributed by
an American corporation, has been cut
off. Canadian power for canadian
industries has been the motto of Sir
Adam Beck, chairman of the commits
sion, and war conditions have brought
a speedier application of the policy
than had been expected.
To replace the Canadian current
thus lost a steam generating planb
has been built here with an ultimate
capacity of 100000 horsepower. Steam
plants and waterpower plants far
down state have been drawn to keep
Buffalo factories going. Part OF the
current from the new hydro plant
will be available for American indus
tries, but only them engaged in war
work, Sir Adam has announced.
Under the treaty between Canada,
Great Britain and the United states
the diversion of water on the Canad-
ian side is limited to $4,000 cubis feet
a second. The limit on the American
side is 10000 feet
Canada already has authorized the
diversion of all but 5000 cubic feet
of her allotment. Under special war
permits the American companies are
also within a few hundred feet OF
their limit.
The new channel will carry off about
10, 900 cubic feet of water second
This will necessitate some readJust-
ment of the allowances to the other
Canadian companies unless the treaty
is modified. This has lead to sugges-
tions of consolidation of all the cana
dian companies and the l'ooV'VVU

GREAT WATER
DEVELOPMENT IS
ON AT NIAGARA
Contemplates the Immediate
Production of 100000 EIec-
trical Horsepower

Buffalo, N. Y.-One of the great
est development projects of the many
centering about Niagara Falls has
been launched on the Canadian side
of the river. 1t contemplates on i'm
mediate production of 100000 electri-
cal horsepower, or equal to approx
imately one-half the present total de-
velopment on both sides of the river,
and it may expand to 1000 900 horse
power.
Actual work on the new channel
was begun recently by the Ontario
Hydro Commission. There were no
ceremonies and the launching of the
work was virtually unknown to the
general public. The channel will en-
circle the city of Niagara Falls. one
running from the Welland River, a
tributary of the Niagara above the
cataract, to the escarpment below
Queenstown heights. The powerhouse
will be located on the river level
almost at the foot of Brooks monu-
ment.
The channel is the first one plan
ned to get the full benefit of the diff
ference in level between Lake Erie
and Ontario. approximately 800 feet.
The old companies, with penstocks
located close to the foot of the cat
aract, get a head of about 200 feet.
The additional 100 feet head, 1t is
estimated, win make it possible to
develop the 100000 horsepower with
the same flow of water required to
develop 100000 horsepower at the
falls.
While the units under construction
for the powerhouse are planned to
produce only 100000 horsepower, the
canal itself will be built to allow a
future flow of water capable of treb-
ling this volume.

AROUND THE BASES

The National Baseball Commission
yesterday issued a notice to Major
League clubs defining the territorial
and player rights of the clubs of the
league, which. because of war condi-
tions. is unable to complete it's cham
pionship season. The notice says in
part:
Territorial rights of minor leagues
which have suspended, or may sus-
pend will be protected during the
period of the war and no national
agreement clubs will in the meantime
be permitted to play in city of that
circuit, without the consent of the
local club or the executive of its
league.
The reversionary rights of such
clubs to their players will be re-
spected until March /. 1919, provided
contracts for next season are tender
ed them by that date. Unless dis
posed. of prior to the retirement
clubs, players will be permitted to
place themselves for the rest of this
season."
Saturday afternoon. the Harris
burg Country Club golf team will
play a match game with the Colonial
Country Club team over the latter's S
links. Both clubs are represented
by strong teams and a game filled
with brilliant playing is promised.
The case of Clifford Heathcote, the
Cards young center fielder and the
newest star of the Mound City Club,
is a strange one. Heathcote, who is
only 10 years old, is a graduate of
Penn State College, though he did not
play on the ball team at that institu-
tion. Last winter he was signed by
the Cardinals. and at the training
camp this spring he showed signs of
developing into quite a ball player.
However, shortly after the season
opened, Hendricks having at the time
a number of veteran outfielders. sent
the youngster TO the Houston club,
tional agre ement.
Heathcote, to every ones surprise,
was a fivver in the Texas League
He didn't hit the size of his hat" in
the parlance Of the ball players, and
Hendricks was notified that ne
wouldn't do. Having no other place
to send him, Jack recalled the player
and kept him on the bench for a
time. Finally, one of his outfielders
being disabled. he put the kid in the
lineup. Immediately he began to MI
like house afire. Hendricks decided
to keep him in there as long as ne
continued to hit. The answer is that
Heathcote is still in there and is now
regarded as one of the best young
! players to break into the major
leagues in many a day.

Stolen Goose Causes
Row Among u. S. Troops

France. Bitter words have passed
between two battalions of American
soldiers here over a stolen, goose. The
bird was missed from little farm in
the area occupied by one battalion,
but the feathers were found within
the district occupied by the other.
Believing that its territory had been
invaded. the first battalion informed
the second that when it felt the grow
ing need for goose it would be we'll
to confine its foraging to its own ter
ritory and avoid casting unpleasant
implications upon its neighbors. The
second disowned the feathers, but paid
for the goose as a matter of pride. To
protect the property of the natives in
the area occupied by the American
regiments the colonel has prescribed
a new penalty. ANY man in COM
mand who lays a hand on a fowl that
has not been bought and paid for will
have to eat the feathers" he declares.

evening, won his own contest in the
fifth inning when he tripled to left

No less than $500 people crowded

PLAYERS in the city. Incidentally they
contributed literally to the Red

memory of Peanuts" Waltz, a for
mer member of the league, whose
two brothers were on opposing sides
of the baseball field last evening.
"Ossie" was instrumental in the
Rosewood victory, in that he scored
one of the runs, and laid down the
infield tap that scored the other
tally.
Another hero on the Rosewood
team was silent Bill" Hoerner.
Twice in the contest this lad relayed
the ball in to Catcher Killinger and
cut off runners. His two assists
saved the game for his team. 1t was
a pitchers battle between Lands
and Wertz, with honors about even.
Wertz had more strike-outs and
fewer bases on balls, although
Lands copped the game, and
granted fewer hits.
Rosewood got busy in the first
first inning. "Ossie" Waltz reached
first base on Tim" Euker's error,
which was his second misplay of
the season. He reached second on
a passed ball, and took third on
Earl Killinger's sacrifice. Hunt
