C. & O. CANAL DRAINED
AS COAL HAULING HALTS

The Chesapeake and Ohio canal,
one of the landmarks of Washington
and beauty spot along the upper
Potomac. is dry this spring and Of
ficials of the canal company are
unable to state when the waterway
will open for the season.
The coal strike, which has tied up
the Cumberland mines, is the prin-
cipal reason for the failure of the
canal to open. At the office of the
canal company in Georgetown 1t was
indicated that hope has not been
abandoned of opening up some time
during the summer.
Since there is no coal to be hauled.
the canal has been drained to save
expense.
Dispatches from Williamsport, Md,
state that canal boatmen in that
vicinity have given up hope of going
into service this summer and are
preparing to leave for other employ
ment.
Local officials of the canal COM
pany, when told of these statements.
said that the situation would not
prevent the opening of the water
lane if such step becomes possible

Brooklyn Hurler Checks The Batting streak of the sensational Outfcldcr of the Pittsburgh Team.

Pittsburgh, Aug, 29.-(Ry Associat- cd Preas,) -Will a low curve ball breaking outside corner of the plate stop the batting rampage of "Reh' Russell, rghtnelder of the Pittsburgh .Nationals-whoae senea- tional comeback has helped win nearly a score of games for the Pir- ates?
 Three times in yesterdays contest, lNazzy Vance the Brooklyn right handler disposed of the mighty Reb with his sharply breaking hook and, incidentally hatted l,G00 in the prophets league, for at least one day.
 Russell drove out three homors in q double header against the Dodgers last Friday, After the game a vivid argument started in the club house. Several of the Dodgers insisted that all pitching looked alike to the ram paging Pirate.
 I'm telling "ou-that bird can't hit low curve ball and I'll prove 1t before this series is over" said Vance,

 The New Orleans favorite will enter the ring an overwhelming favorite over Jackson. Wills is regarde1 as the most dangerous contender for the worlds title and has the ability and the physical qualifications which en- title him to this distinction. He will have every advantage over his rival, except reach. Wills will have weight, height and experience in his favor in addition to a greater knowledge of boxing than that possessed by Jack son.

AMERICAN GOLFERS
 DEFEAT BRII!SHERS
Three Out Of Four Matches Won
 in Yesterdays Play

Southampton, l. l., Aug. 29.-The members of the American team yes- terday got big jump here on their British opponents In the opening tits of the international team matches for the Walker Cup at the National Links. The invaders won only one of the Scotch foursome, the other three going to the Americans. Yesterdays results practically cinched the cup for the Yankees, for all they have left on their hands now is to break even in the singles, which will be played today with eight men on a side. In view of yesterdays proceed ings, however. there will be keen dis appointment If the Americans do not fare far better than an equal divi- sion of the spells in the singles.
 The British prospects were hurt considerably by the inability of their captain, who is i'll with tonsilts to play in yesterdays matches, for it necessitated a complete realignment of their forces. Then, too, the Brit fish failed to pair their men so as to present their strongest front to the enemy. Bernard Darwin, who stepped into Harris place, failed to offer much assistance to Cyril Tolley, and Willis Mackenzie, playing with John Caven, runner-up in the British ama- teur championship this year. found himself in bad slump, and allowed his partner to bear the brunt of the battle throughout.
 The British, however, had some thing to cheer over when Roger Wethered and c. c. Aymer defeated Chick Evans and Robert Gardner, ooth former national champions, for he lone victory achieved by the in- ,aders. The margin was 3 up.
 It fell to the lot of the Boston pair, Francis Ouimet, former national and

 Nip-and-Tuck Battle.
 The fourth match, that between w. C. Fownes of Oakmon, captain of the American team. and Max Morston, one of the former metropolitan dis trict lights, who has now transferred his allegiance to Philadelphia, and Caven and Mackenzie representing John Bull was the only contest that was nip-and-tuck all the way. At noon the American pair knocked off work with a lead of one hole, but in the afternoon, largely through the brilliant shooting of Caven, the Brit ons managed to carry the match on to the seventeenth hole before they finally acknowledged defeat by ? and 1.
 Some interesting battles were scheduled for today. The pairings are; Guilford vs. Tolley, Jones vs. Wether- ed Evans vs. Caven, Ouimet vs. Ally mer, Gardner vs, Torrance, Sweetser vs. Hooman, Marston vs. Mackenzie, Johnson vs. Darwin.
