REPORT READY MAY is

So far as he can tell now, ]. F.
Appleby, who is in charge Of the work
of gathering the engineering data for
rehabilitation of the Consumers Ditch
company's irrigation system. says he
will have his report ready for the Han
ford water right owners not later than
May IS. Up to now his time has been
taken up in cross-sectioning the en-
tire main canal and plating it; as
senbling and plating the land classi-
fled studying the variIls previous
engineering reports on improvement
of the ditch, working out hydraulic da-
ia on present canal sections and for
sections required on project COM
prising 5000 acres and also for one oi
5000 acres, and working out distri-
button system for each project.
Mr.. Apple5y's report is awaited
with interest. From it will be known
what it will cost approximately, to
put. the system in permanent shape
aud build it large enough to carry a
sufficient quantity of water for all the
land below it that will want to take
water from that source, as we'll as a
pretty accurate idea of what the an
nual maintenance charge per acre
will be.
If the report shows the system can
be reconstructed at reasonable cost
and the power company will pay it's
share of such expense and the water
users are assured of sufficient
quantity Of water for reasonable an
nual maintenance charge, actual con-
struction work can be looked for this
fall for the sentiment appeares almost
unanimous at this time for such ac-
don
The construction of such system
will eliminate the one big thing that has
held this district back and will permit
the valley to settle up and progress on
its merits.

HORNSBY DEMANDS
3.YEAR CONTRACT

By the Associated Press.
ST. LOUIS, December 7.-President
Sam Breadon of the st. Louis Cardi'
nails has taken under advisement a
request of Rogers Hornsby for his
retention for three years as a player
and manager.
Hornsby made the request at con:
ference in which Breadon proposed
that Hornsby retain his players con-
tract, which still has a year to run,
or to combine the old contract with
one-year contract as player-man-
aeer with an increased salary.
"I told Hornsby," Breadon said,
that the three-year contract he pro
posed ran into bigger money than the
clubs earning power for the past
eight years justified and that one year
was as far as I could reasonably see
my way to sign"
Breadon said that the fact that he
and Hornsby did not reach an agree
ment today did not mean that they
would not "get together" but that
he did not know when he would give
the Cardinal manager an answer.

A duckpin shooter Of any expert
ence, no matter how mediocre his
average, generally is able to say ol
any mentioned shot. "It can be done
it has been done; I've done it"
Here is the story Of just com
monplace occurrence on the duckpin
alleys:
Two three-man combinations were
shooting q match at the Coliseum
recently. Team A won the first game
by q margin of AZ pins. 1t led in the
first nine boxes of the second, but In
| the tenth box the lead-off man OF
Team B registered a strike and count
ed 8 to win for his team by margin
of 6 pins. In the third game Team A
again led for nine boxes-it was lead
ing at the end of the ninth by a mar
gin of pins-but the lead-off man
of Team B again hit for a strike in
his last box and counted 6; the anchor
man made a spare and counted Z, ana
Team 3 won by a margin OF pins.
In other words, Team A outbowled
Team B by total of 20 pins for the
three games; it actually led in % of
the 80 boxes rolled-and yet it lost
two of the three games.
Bowling began in three big Christ
mas elimination tournaments yeSter-
day. but no scores were turned in for
the women's event on the Arcadia
drives or the mems contests at King
Pin and Convention Hail. Contestants
