FUND IS SHORT
0FSUM NEEDED
FOR IRRIGATION
Outlook Is for Only Enough
Money for Operation and
Maintenance.

In the December issue of the Recla-
nation Record is review of the situa-
ton as affecting funds for federal irri-
CATION projects which summarizes the
outlook as indicating that there will
this year be little money available for
reclamation work above that needed for
maintenance and operation. Future
activities on the Sun river project is
directly affected by the condition of the
reclamation fund and Project Manager
G. O. Sanford is calling the attention
of interested people to anticipated cur
tailment of extension work in that dis
trict.
Basing the assertion on figures CON
tained in the Records article, Manager
Sanford says that but S6,79O,OOO of Il
contemplated S20,277,O 600 fund will be
available for irrigation work this year.
The reclamation fund now receives
money from three sources: proceeds of
public land sales, oil and mineral roy
alties and repayments from water users
on constructed projects.
Land Sales Decrease
1.-The amount received from public
land sales is gradually decreasing; the
returns from oil and mineral royalties
have thus far been far below expecta-
tions, which leaves the principal source
of reclamation funds in the repayments
from water users" said Mr.. Sanford.
1.-The returns from these three sources
are considered by congress, and the
sundry civil act carries the appropria-
tions for the 26 projects Of the recla-
nation service.
THE act provides that expenditures
hn f,p,,tad IN ncfua1 nd
as estimates have to be made about
two years ahead of the time the money
is spent, it is not always possible to
get a desirable degree Of accuracy.
While the appropriation for the fiscal
year, 1922, is $20,277, 7,O0O the receipts
;. have fallen far short of this sum and
a result it has been necessary to great
ly restrict the work the service had
hoped to do. From the total receipts
there must also be deducted 81 600, 600,
which must be transferred from the
reclamation fund to the general fund
of the treasury as the annual payment
on loan made to the reclamation serV-
ice in 1910"
Detailed Receipts
Taking the receipts of last year as
a basis for forecast, the estimated
returns to the reclamation fund in 1929
will be So, 100000, representing $3.50
600 from public land sales, $79OO0O
from oil and mineral royalties and ST.
10000 from repayments and miscel-
laneous collections. The total $780,
OOO is less the $1,OOO,0OO due the gen
eral fund.
''These figures show" said Mr.. San
ford. ''conclusively that after taking
care of the operation and maintenance
of the projects and continuing neces-
sary drainage work, there will be very
little left for new projects or taking
up any large features on projects tina.
have already been begun, as is the case
with the Sun river project"

TOday'S Sport Angle

Achieve greatness in any line OF
endeavor. sport in particular, and
Immediately you become a pet target
for criticism.
Last year the east heard much
about Brick" Muller, the famous
end OF the University OF California
eleven. He was touted as an All
America certainty. Walter Camp
didn't select him for his team.
Although Muller played very little
football in the season just closed,
not over a few hours OF actual play.
Camp selected him for his team Of
this year Possibly the criticism for
failure to pick him last year. was
the real reason.
In addition 10 Muller, Camp Sc
lected Mcmillan as one OF the
tackles From the west we have
been reading tales about Muller's
passes for 40 and so yards Also
how Mcmillan would open up holes
in the opposing line through which
his backs could walk for big gains.
Evidently those plays were not
made against teams having defen-
sive line play as strong as that OF
w and J. when the easterners
were scheduld to play California
much interest centered around the
| two An-America stars OF the Cali
| fornia eleven. Muller and Mcmillan
Stein, the Washington and Jeffer
son captain. also an All-America 50
! lection. came up TO expectations. H
/ did commit a fault when he wa
offside on play in which a W. AM
j. back ran 40 yards for a touch
down. Such things. however, are
part OF football.
II Is rather interesting to rea
what Joe Fitzgerald. former Har
ward quarterback. now coach a
Sanford. has 10 say about the pla
OF two All-America stars.
Mcmillan and Muller were dis
appointing" says Fitzgerald. 9Th
former was not only taken out {
many plays. but committed himse
too fast, and allowed the opposin
team TO gain many yards throug
his position.
Muller. however. was tho pri7
disappointment. Erickson an
Brenkert ran around his end &
2 though they had never heard OF hin
on kicks he was also spilled se'
eral times and failed TO get ava
with a single forward pass"
Possibly Mcmillan and Mule
realized the football world wa
watching their efforts. and for thi
reason they pressed themselves. an
] failed 10 show their real form.-

High and preparatory schools

ing the local high school will meet
the hardest kind of opposition, but
in spite of that fact should make a
good showing because as a Y. NJ.

some of the best teams in the East.
The local swimmers have been
unable to secure any meets with
other high and preparatory schools
previous TO the national champion
ships and consequently will be
handicapped to a considerable ex-
tent Manager Ladd has put forth
every effort to secure meets. but
has been unable to do so until after
the twenty-first of the month.
A series OF three or four meets
would be an incentive that would
make the swimmers put forth their
very best efforts and also bring out
some OF the weak points OF the
swimmers that can only be found in
competition. They would also serve
TO key them up to a high pitch.
The team will workout in the Penn

Experts Suggest Changes
For Golf Rules

packed and sent out OF the factory.
The balls that fail TO come up to
specifications are junked. With the
same type ball in use, all players
have the same opportunity in their
efforts to make records. Babe Ruth,
in piling up flfty-nine home runs,
was not aided by a lively ball. It
was identical with the one used in
the National League.
In football basketball, and, in
fact. all the other sports. the ball
used in the important games, in
fact, most any game, is the stand
ardized type.
There seems to be no real good
reason why the golf ball should not
be standardized In all probability,
il is only a question OF few years
before such legislation is enacted
The lost ball rule is being dis
cussed pro and con on this side and
in England Golfers over kere are
for the one stroke penalty on the
lost ball.
The contention is made that the
one stroke loss can be exacted either
by ordaining that the player shall
play another ball as nearly as pos
sible from the place where he played
his first ball. or by allowing him
to drop another ball as nearly as
possible from the place where tke
first has. or is presumed to have,
come to rest.
The leading authorities in Eng
land hold the contrary opinion.

pitcher will insure the pennant. He
has always been very strong for Lee
Meadows.
Meadows is the only bespectacled
pitcher in the majors. Despite the
fact that he is compelled to wear
glasses on the field. he is a very re-
markabl pitcher
Without the pair OF heavy lenses
which Meadows uses while on the
field. it is said to be impossible for
him to see the plate from the pitch
ing rubber with any degree Of ac-
curacy.
That would cause one TO infer that
Meadows is poor on control. Such
however, is far from being the
truth. Bad eyesight doesn't seem to
affect his pitching in any way, as
long as he has his "sfecs," as
Meadows calls them.

Cardinals. is authority for the state
ment that Meadows will wear a
New York uniform next year.
