 CANAL PROPOSAL
Japan Gives Plan Careful Con.
 SideratiOn

Toyko, July 20 (Pt-The plan for deep waterway canal between Tokyo and Yokohama is to be re- viyed, according 10 the Japan Ad- thorities of the Department of Home Affairs are drafting a bill for pres Cntation to the Diet at its next ses- sion for the appropriation of 20,- 000,000 yen to be used in completing the project, It is expected the work wilt require about four years.
 The plan for the canal was ad- NoCatcd several years ago because ofthe constantly expanding traffic 1 between the port and the capital and because the transportation by water as it exists has been regarded as particularly inadequate of late years, Approximately so per cent of 1 the merchandise landed at Noko- hama from foreign and other Japa- ncse ports must be transhipped for Tokyo, and about the same per centage of the cargo consigned tc Tokyo by train has to he forwarded to Yokohama, Of all the freight thus exchanged, only 10 per cen' can he transported by train.
 For the purpose Of transportins the remainder by water, sailboat and lighters have been oncratl be tween the two points but the con stant delays and the damage fire quently suffered in following tn present crowded water routes rendc the traffic unsatisfactory to tho ship ger, it Is said. In addition. th freight rates arc out of proportio to the distance and the costs of tn commodities thus exchanged haN been advanced accordingly, it claimed.

Made Harris Hustle Macks Most Strengthened of CS Rivals
YANKEES WILL TRY
CULLOP AS PITCHER
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associate Press.
NEW YORK, January 2S.-Henry
Cullop, the 24-year-o1d st. Louis boy,
who has been playing first base and
the Quilted of the Western League
| because of his great ability with the
stick, will be taken to st. Petersburg,
Fla, by the Yankees as pitcher.
When Cullop was with the Omaha
Western League Club, Manager Hug
gins, it is understood, gave instruc
tions to play Cullop al first or in the
outfield for the sake of determining
his fitness for these positions. The
mite manager of the Yanks is anxious
to uncover a star to jump into Wally
Pipp's shoes when the veteran shows
signs of slump.
Cu1lop has been a great hitter in
the minors. For this reason he was
taken off the pitching end of the
game. When he started out in 1920
Cullop hit .34l. He worked as
pitcher that season for Madison of
the North Dakota League.
Since that time Cullop has been in
the Western League f1inging for
Tulsa, Des Moines and Omaha. While
with Madison he pitched 80 complete
games in addition to romping the
| outfield in 40 games, Last season
Cullop was in 121 games at first base
| in addition to playing the outfeld and
pitching occasionally.
The Yankees claimed Cullop in 1928,
| but left him at Oman for further de-
| velopment. Last season he batted
| 1922. clouting out 40 home runs, 46
doubles and s triples. He stands six
| feet, weighs 1876 pounds and bats and
! throws right-handed.

HALF OF CHAMPIONS
STILL ARE UNSIGNED

TAMPA, Fla. January 2S.-Con-
tracts are coming into Washington
club headquarters at about the gem
orally accredited speed of molasses
in the current month. Anent this
subject Manager Harris has to say:
at is impossible to say whether
there will be holdouts or not. We can
simply hope for the best but antici-
pate little or no trouble"
In view of the fact that only 10
players have signed and that II still
are outside Che fold, with only some
three weeks remaining before the
first players are due to report for pre-
liminary work, 1t would seem there
is more to the situation than refusal
of the athletes to recognize Tampa
as official headquarters, but Presi-
dent Griffith asserts:
II am confident that there will be
no trouble as to contracts, and that
everything will so off as previously
planned"
1t would seem there is a most ex-
cellent method in the madness of the
tardy players. The case of Roger
Peckinpaugh is a typical one. Peck
says:
"Au I have to say of the subject
is that / have not yet signed. How
ever, that is personal matter be-
tween myself and the club. The diff
ference in salary is not SO great, and
I expect to agree on terms before the
start OF the Spring training season.
/ had a good season last year. The
club won the world championship. 1
may not have many years left in my
system, and naturally / am trying to
get the money while the going is
good"
AS the club is composed of a num-
Der of players who may not have
many years left In their systems the
present situation is not an unusual
one.

BALL CLUB ESSENTIAL
TO CITY, JURY HOLDS

WINCHESTER, Va, January IS
A Corporation Court jury has decided
that Winchester must not be a look
erin on base ball next Summer; it
must have a f1rst-class team, and
maintain the towns well known rep
utation for encoura ging outdoor
sports.
The decision was reached while
members of the jury were waiting
for court to convene and while law
yers were arguing a point of law
in the judges chamber. Converse
tion drifted to an advertisement of
the city sergeant, who had announced
his intention of selling the base ball
clubs grandstand and fence under
authority of a distress warrant.
The jurymen constituted them
selves a committee to appear before
the Kiwanis, Lion and Rotary Clubs
this week and ask their co-opera-
ton in organizing first-class club
and joining a nearby league next
Summer.
1t was said Harry X. Thaw, now
a resident of this county, probab bly,
would be offered the presidency OF
the club.

The first game of the double header
started with Benton pitching for New
York against Rudolph. The latter
always had been Il hard shell for the
Giants to crack, and he was not
easy in this particular contest neces-
sary for the continuation of the win
ming run, but the Giants finally got
the better of him, and, while he was
not retired, he was solved in the sew
enth inning, when New York scored
two runs against him, and hammered
him again in the eighth, when they
made two more runs. This was par
ticularly joyful to the fans in the
stand, who more than once that sea
son and in other seasons had seen
Rudolph f1atten the Giants when they
wanted a game badly.
The final score was 4 to 0, and New
York had won 26 games in succession
and was about to start on the second
game of the double header for the
twenty seventh in a row.
Sallee started to pitch for New
York and there was more confidence
that he would defeat Boston and make
it the twenty in succession
than there had been that Benton
could make 1t 26. Sallee, however,
had one of. his unfortunate days,
when he could not get the ball to
break for him, and when Smith and
into the left-ffeld bleachers one afser
the other the goose of the New York
team began to cook. Tesreau was
rushed into the breach, and so was
Smith, but il did no good. Once the
Bostons had found the lead they kept
ii and baked the Giants from win
ming 27 games in succession, exactly
as the Bostons in 1914 had taken a
championship away from New York
h lob nfv,S~ ~fx- Ha
Giants took a nap after Labor day.
On the Boston team that helped to
stop the long-continued success of the
Giants were Snodgrass, Gowdy and
Rudolph, all OF whom had been New
York players at one time. Rudolph
had been permitted to go to Toronto
and when the time came that he
seemed likely to make a high class
major league player the New York
manager contended that Toronto had
not given him notice, as it should have
done, and that he did not get a
pitcher who went TO Boston and made
great success, and one whom New
York would have liked to possess on
its pitching staff more than once.
While making this run of success
sive victories the Giants used three
efthanders a great deal. They were
Benton, Schupp and Sallee, and in the
following year 1T was this trio that
pitched so successfully that it car
ried the New York team along to a
pennant. although in the world series
which followed with the Chicago
American League club the Giants
were beaten.
After the Bostons had won the
game from New York which would
have meant the twentyseventh vic
tory in succession they were not over
elated, although they were glad that
they had been smart enough to do
something that no other club in the
league had been able to do since Sep
tember 7, when the first game OF the
protraeted series cf IS games was
won by the Giants.

of touch he built up in the hands,
fingers and forearms. you can see how
many years of active playing it would
require for this muscle development.
Yet the development can be brought
about with home practice in a COM
psrntiveIy short time. A very excel
lent home practice is to develop the
throw of the clubhead. Start with a
short bnck swfnE-not more than a
half back swing-then throw the club
head through with the hands. Be
careful to keep the body out Of IL.
Gradually you can increase the back
swing, but see to Ii that you always
throw the clubhead forward. Make
the hands do this work. This i$ a
wonderful developer of the sense of
