 The team is fortunate this year in having the services of Dave Dunn as coach. Dunn is a hard worker and has & knowledge of the gridiron game possessed by few. Having been a player of note himself instead of as in the case of some other coaches merely a director of football train ing, he is in position to take the material given him and develop it into a strong organization.

TO TRADE KAUFF
Reports Say McGraw is Anxious to Secure McHenry from Cards and Has Made Offer.

New York, Sept. 9.-Reports from St. Louis bring the information that Manager McGraW of the New York Giants has offered to trade Benny kauff, former Hartford slugger, to the St. Louis Cardinals for McIIenry, the star left fielder. McGraw, it is said is willing to give the erstWhile Federal league a neat sum and also pay bo- nus to the Cardinals which club holds McHenry's contract. Recently the Cincinnati Reds put up a sum of S25,- 900 for McHenryl but St. Louis would not let him slip away.
 His Going No Surprise.
 The fact that McGraW stands ready to dispense with Kauff is no surprise Bashful Benny's stickwork has fallen off woefully in the past month and his fielding has also been way off color. In the double-header with the Braves Sunday he was charged with an error in each game. kauff's average, which about a month ago was over the 300 mark, is not .276. That Benny is due to wear other than Giant livery next season is regarded almost as a cer- tainty.

ANOTHER BIG PUMP FOR CANAL
1t Will Be Located At Chesapeake
City, Nd, and Win Have Capac-
ity of 5O,OOO,OOO Gallons a Day.

An additional pumping plant is un-
der consideration by the government
for the c. & D. canal at Chesapeake
City, Md. There is a pumping station
at that place now used for the canal.
1t is hoped to avoid the use of res
erVolr, such as was done at Lum's
Dam, and which caused much damage
recently. The additional water will
be required for the dredges working
IN the canal and for the additional
lockages. Two hydraulic dredges are
TO be used in the canal and this will
mean the use of a great quantity of
water. The plant is to be electrical
~ driven and to have a daily pump
ing capacity of 5O,OOO,OOO gallons.
This water will be obtained from Back
Creek at Chesapeake City. 1t is ex-
pected to install the new plant in the
present building or in an addition to
it. A houseboat to be used on the
canal by the government survey party
is also being planned. 1t will have
an office, dining room, galley and liv-
ing quarters for the members of the
party. The boat is to be 80 feet in
length and p feet in width. A sur
vey party is at present engaged in
work on the canal. Some additional
land will be required in the Deep Cut
and this land is being surveyed. Cross
section of the bridges along the canal
are also being made.
