MUSCLE SHOALS
 WINS VICTORY
Item Restored to Sundry Measure-GrOnna and Sherman Align With Demo- crats in Committee.

Washington, Jan. 25.-The Senate appropriations committee by a vote of to 6 today restored the $1O.OOO,- 900 item for Muscle Shoals, stricken from the sundry civil bill several weeks ago by the House.
 Senator Sherman of Illinois, and Senator Gronna of North Dakota, Republicans, allied themselves with the Democrats to make the action possible. Senator Underwood of Ala bama, Democratic leader, is sponsor for the item. The money is to be used to continue work on the power dam now being constructed at Muscle Shoals in Alabama.
 The alignment on the bill in the Senate is somewhat doubtful, with prospects for a fairly close vote. That there is chance, however, to secure the $1O,0OO,OOO appropriation is admitted even by the Republicans who have fought it hardest. The ag- ricultural districts, west as well as south, have demanded that the great nitrate plant be not abandoned. The value of the Muscle Shoals plan for furnishing cheap fertilizer is the un- answerable argument whcih has changed sentiment of even some of the eastern senators.

SCOUTING FOR PINK BOIL
 WEEVIL PEST IN ARK KANSAS

Special to The News.
 Little Rock, Jan. 26.-In his quar- terly report, Chief Inspector Becker of the Arkansas State Plant Board sums up the pink boil worm situation as follows:
 'It will be imperative that we con- tinue our cotton scouting and that we be constantly prepared to trace every report of the presence of this pest in Arkansas. The recent discovery of pink boil worms in some bagging which was wrapped around iron banks shipped from Egypt, and the discoV- cry of pink boil worms in cotton bag ging which had previously been used for cotton and which was shipped to this country from Holland, certainly shows how easily an infestation can be introduced 1 would especially urge your board to bring the gravity of the pink boil worm situation for cibly before the legislature as cut in the small appropriation which you are asking for would in the event of an unforeseen emergency be fraught with such consequence that it might be necessary for the next legislature to appropriate $500,000 to prevent the spread of this destructive pest.
 "We have been very active during Ethis quarter in carrying out the pink boil worm scouting. For the first time we have been able to make a thorough scouting of the Prescott area. Suspicious cotton seed was shipped to this point in 1918 but It appears that the pest was not lntro- duced. We have also investigated reports of the presence of this pest at Cotton Plant, Palestine, Dermott and Stephens. At each of these places if appears that either the boil Weevll, the common old fashioned boil worm, or the pink scavinger worm were confused with the pink boil worm. Very intensive scouting work IS now being conducted at TeXarkana py Messrs. Winfrey and Daniels and as soon as we have completed this area we will do some scouting in the vicin- ity of Little Rock"

RIVAL MANAGERS ARE CONFIDENT OF VICTORY
McGraw Says Giants Will Offer Nc
 Excuses if Beatcn-Huggins
Sure of Success.

New York, Oct. 1.-The rival man. agers, McGraW and Huggins. are equally confident of the outcome of the games. The fact that the rain yes tcrday spoiled the Giants chance to practice did not worry their guardian.
 My players are in good condition and the rest will do them just as much good if not more than an hour or two on the diamond" McGraW said
 'We are ready and no excuses will he offered on the score of condition if he Giants are beaten by the Yankees"
 Baseball as it is played in the American league will be the Yan- kees' style in the series, declared Manager Huggins of the junior circuit champs.
 T intend to play regular American league baseball in the series with the Giants,'' he said. The kind of base tall that won for us in our seasons campaign. I think 1t will be a hard fought series. Our club is going in with all the confidence in the world. We realize the, Giants have good team, but we will go in with the de- termination to beat them as good as they are. II believe our pitching and attack will win the worlds championship for us"

.NUTMEGS DECRY
 LACK OF SUPPORT
Managers Scott and Dunn Offer
 Reasonable Plea to Fans

That the local football public is not supporting the Nutmegs football team in a manner it deserves, is the claim of the management in a communica- tion to the sporting editor of the Herald. It is pointed out that although there has been large crowds in attend ance at the three games at home this season, only one-fourth of those have contributed at the game. The manage ment also points out that any man who does not show up for practice on two nights a week is not allowed to play, thus accounting for the changed lineup last Sunday.
 Should present conditions continue, the communication states the team will be forced to play out-of-town gam es for the reminder of the season It is theerfore hoped that the public will rally to the support of the team | in the future, and it is believed that the management will continue to try | to give New Britain fans the best ob- l tainable in football
 | The communication follows:
 The Nutmeg football team is one of three in the state who pay their play CTS after each game, instead of divid- ing a split at the end of the season, and in order to bring prominent col l lSs | Garnikow, Buckney, Calvin and Tracy here to play each week, the manage ment has had to spend a great deal of money. To all appearances the at tendance at the games which the Nut
 megs. have played so far, has been very large, but when only out-fourth | of those present have contributed, the | receipts have not been enough to ] cover expenses. We know that the number of stars that we have had in our lineup has been the big drawing
 card at Vibberts' field, but if the sup
 port of the fans who have enjoyed
 their playing, is lacking, we will not be able to continue here in New Brit ain.
 The Nutmeg team has gained the
 reputation throughout the state of be-
 ing one of the best, and for that req
 son is in great demand both in Con-
 necticut and in Massachusetts. We
 have had topnotch team for sixteen
 successive seasons, and we have aI- l ways felt that we had the support of the fans in New Britain. This year, however that same support is lacking, and. in view of the circumstances, we , are forced to state that if it continues to be so, the Nutmeg team will finish the season with out-of-town games.
 We have often been criticized for
 advertising players who have not ap-
 peared in our lineup, but thus far we have had as1 Advertised.
 We have made ruling that any man | not appearing for practice on two stipulated night of the week, will not , be allowed to play and that is the
 reason for our changed lineup last Sunday.
 However, if the fans of New Britain F will give us their who1e-hearted finan- : cial support, we will bring the best teams in New England here to play, and with the strong lineup that we will have, we guarantee the highest l grade of football ever seen here. !, We thank you for the wonderful support which you have given us, and hope that the football fans of New Britain will give us the same.
 Yours for fair play,

EVEN MONEY STILL
 RULES FOR SERIES
No Change is Yet Apparent Making Tanks or Giants the
 FavOrite.

New York, Oct. 4.-One of the most unusual situations that has ever arisen in connection with a big sport irg event, such as the worlds series be- tween the Giants and the Yankees, obtains at this time. While there is considerable betting being done on tie series-it is impossible to estimate with any degree of accuracy just how much has been placed-there is no way of determining what the actual odds are. Most of the big betters, those who do not permit sentiment to enter into their transac ctions, are offer- ing to 10 and take your pick. In otr CT words, if a man wants to bet or the Yankees the professionals will fay nine dollars against his ten and back the Giants and vice versa.
 It is evident that the speculation amonn the fans is being influenced to a pronounced degree by personal pref c~ence. For instance, not a few wag- CTS have been recorded with the Yankees ruling the favorites al to 5. Just as many have been made with the Giants the favorites at the same odds. Among those who are not pro- fessionals and who do not permit scntiment to sway them. even money sees to be the prevalent quotation.

EVERS FAVORS GIANTS
Former Manager of Cubs Believes Nc. Graw Has Better Team Than Miller Huggins.

New York, Oct. 4.-Johnny Evers, former manager of the Chicago Cubs, favors the Giants in the coming battles between the two New York clubs for baseball supremacy of the world.
 T like the Giants" declared the former infield star today. "McGraw is a great manager and has a better team than many think he has. The Giants are a smart bunch of players and are fast on th1 bases"
 Babe Ruth may prove a stumbling block for the National league club, however, in Evers' opinion "McGraw pitchers will have to watch their step when it comes to Ruth,'' he said. "The big fellow is apt to break up a game any time he comes to bat. Outside of Ruth, though, I think the Giants have the edge on the Tanks in batting. The series should go seven or eight g4me:."
