Shine PaIl Used By
 Filler on Exhibition

A highly gIossed ball. used by Hod EIIer in the somewhat recent worlds series, is now on view in the offices of the National League in New York. A close study of the pellet fails to re- veal the presence thereon of any for eign substance, yet one side of it plainly has been shined.
 The general theory has been that EIler is in the habit of rubbing the ball on a strip of parafin on his trousers to produce the shine, but this is denied by the Red pitchers admirers. It is their contention that he merely rubs the ball on untainted cloth, and they declare that if rule is enacted this winter whereby a pitcher shall be prohibited from touching any part of his uniform with. the ball. Filler will cfrcumvenr the rule makers by inserting a cloth palm in his glove.

Larry Doyle, the Giants veteran second baseman. will spend the win ter in Cuba. He left the other day for Havana and may play some base ball there before he returns to this country. The New York club recent ly declined to permit Doyle to ac- cept the infringement of the Toronto International League club, McGraw being anxious to obtain a major league berth for the veteran player Frank SchuIte, who was famous as the right fielder of the champion Chicago Cubs under Frank Chance, started for the Cuban capital at the same time as Doyle. Schulte intends to take part in the ball games at AImendares park this winter. More than a dozen well known major league players now are in Havana. where Americas national game is all the rage.

NEW DRAINAGE SYSTEM DEVISED
 FOR JERUSALEM

A comprehensive drainage system is in course of construction in Jerusa- lem which will provide the ancient city with adequate sanitary facilities. It has been undertaken by the Zion ist Administrative Commission, and most of the preliminary surveys were made by Jewish engineers and ac- cCrding 10 an official report received by chairman of the Zionist district of the actual construction is being car r1ed out by Jews. The disposal plant which is part of the drainage system is to be so located, that Christian and Moslem Communities along the line will be able 10 join up and derive full benefit.
 In March. 1918. the British Royal Engineers stationed in Jerusalem made a rough survey of the existing sewerage of the Jewish quarters out lying the old city of Jerusalem, after the armisJice the officers and men were demobilized and Jewish en- gineers were appointed to ill their places. Except for a section of the surveys, these Jewish engineers caA ried out -au the work.
 The plan as renodelled by them proposes the construction of the main sswer and branch sewers into the different quarters and allows for the connection of houses. In about two years time it will be serving all the Jewish quarters.
 The plans for the work were com pleted in June last and the contracts have now been awarded. Work on the main drainage scheme has com menced, and will employ a rnaxum of 200 men. A Jewish contractor ob- tained the drainage work, and a Jew ish firm of Jerusalem, the contract for the disposal work. Contractors were given to understand that Jewish rates of pay. which are somewhat higher than the usual rates, were to be adopted.
