JOE OESCHCER LIKELY TO HAVE
 GREAT SEASON

Has Joe Oesenger, Phany and Giant discard finally arrived? :? Oesehger has been in the National League off and on for six seasons, and every now and then showed poss1- bi1ities of greatness Managers free ly admitted he had the stuff, but he got a reputation for being a pitcher who didn't know how to use his heao.
 Judging from his work with the Braves to date, Joe intends to make a mark for himself this year. In the two games he has pitched so far, only one run has been scored on. him in twenty innings, He defeated Toney of the Giants in a te 0 pitchers battle, and in his second time out, he lost to Cadore of Brooklyn, l to 0 in eleven innings.
 The Braves certainly have not given Oeschger much brea thing space. In each of his twenty inn ings he had to put all he had on each pitch. Oeschger has control this spring, something which he formerly lacked. If he can retain control of his fast ball, he will win lot of games for the Boston Ma tionals.

INLAND WATERWAY
/. IMPROVEMENT TO BE
ASKED BY DELEGATES
CIV Associated Press,


ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Dec. 29.-Spokes-
men from q central states will ask an
annual appropriation of 100000, 900
for 10 years when they appear before
the subcommittee of the House Com
mittee on Appropriations Jan. 10 and
20 in the interest of waterways i'm
provements. This was announced by
James E. Smith of this city, vice presi-
dent in charge of waterways of the
Mississippi Valley association, who
will head the delegation.
Mr.. Smith asserted approximately
500 persons would compose the delega-
ton, and that virtually every one of
the $50 congressional districts in the
81 Valley states would be represented.
Prominent business men and represen-
tatives of farmers organizations have
promised to appear before the sub
committee, he added.
Consider Sum Reasonable.
The appropriation to be asked is not
excessive, Mr.. Smith declared, as that
amount is needed to make proper inn
provements on the country's natural
carriers.
Representative Campbell of Pennsyl-
vania Mr.. Smith continued, has prom
lSed tC reSubmlt to the next congress
his bill of the last congress, providing
for the expenditure of $100,000,000 a
year for five years, altered to provide
for the appropriation of that amount
each year for 10 years, for inland wa
terways improvements.
Passage of the Newton bill will be
demanded, Mr.. Smith explained. This
bill calls for the expenditure of $780,
100000 to complete improvements al
ready begun.
These improvements are establish
ment of a 9-foot channel in the Miss
issippi from the mouth of the Missouri
river to New Orleans; 6-foot channel
in the Mississippi from st. Louis to
Minneapolis; a 9-foot channel in the
Ohio from Pittsburgh to Cairo: and a
6-foot channel in the Missouri from St.
Louis TO Kansas City.
Mr.. Smith said he expected the
delegations visit to be especially
fruitful as it would exceed in num-
bers and personal influence" the dele
CATION of 800 which, two years ago
visited Washington and obtained the
establishment of the government
barge line on the Mississippi.
