President Hoover today de-

Under the direction of Maj. Brehon

War Department for the Washington
area, estimates are now being compiled
by the United States Engineer Office
of the cost of rebuilding George Wash
ington lock canal on the Virginia side
of Great Falls, on the Potomac River.
e. j. Merrick, jr, civil engineer, has
been out with a party of field workers
examining emergency work of over a
century ago to get information upon
which to mase an estimate for the re-
construction. This is desired by the
American Engineering Council, the ad-

and lots of confidence and while he
issued five bases on balls he always
braced before run could be scored.
Only Chance in First.
The Athletics were the direct oppo-
sites they were in Philadelphia when
they scored IL runs out of IL hits. To-
day they hit the ball safely seven times
and had five bases on balls to help
them along, yet they could not score
q solitary run and had no real scoring
chances after the first inning.
Hallahan was in danger in this in
ming as for a while it looked as If he
might never get started. He saved
himself by retiring three Of our players
on strikes.
He was an odd mixture of inefficiency
and strength in this round with his
good deeds overshadowing his lapseS.
Bishop opened the game by birching
him for single and then Dykes struck
out. Cochran walked to put two men
on bases and then Hallahan helped
himself out of the hole by tanning Al
Simmons in the pinch.
Colbert stop Marvellous.
Foxx was good for q single and q
run would have scored had 1t not been
for . marvellous stop by Colbert, who
outfield. However, Foxx's hit f1lled the
bases and Hallahan was still in trou-
BILE but not very long. He showed his
strength under IRE by tanning Bing
Miller on three pitches.
After his shaky start, Hallahan set
tied down and never had much trou-
BILE for the rest Of the game except in
the third when he walked Dykes and
Cochran with one out.
Here was another chance for Sim
mons to shine, but AL hit to Colbert
and q double play ended the half. Al
was unfortunate in his hitting today,
for he failed with men on bases in the
first and third innings and then bombed
a double and single In his last two
times ct bat when the bases were
empty.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-10-05

as one OF those tough ones that you lose
by one run.
do not hesitate to say that Hallahan
should be given credit for today's VIC
tory, His workmanship was maSterful.
He was cool, calm collected, the ideal
pitcher for q tough game. He was, IN
fact, the kind Of pitcher every manager
dreams of some day having on his clup.
The few chances We had were quickly
throttled by this gritty left-hander.
Right in the first inning we had three
on base. when Haliahan steamed up
and got out OF this tight Ar without
run.
We got one bad break In this inning.
That was on Jimmy Foxx's' drive over
second. Colbert had started TO take
throw to catch Bishop OF the bag when
Foxx poked the ball over second. 1t
was a clean single but Colbert being
in a position TO scoop up the ball man
aged TO hold it in the mf1eld and that
cost US a run.
MiIler's Tanning y Shock.
Then Hallahan gave US a shock by
tanning Bing Miller, one OF our most
reliable men in the pinch. The only
other time we threatened was in the
third. A couple of passes put US IN
the game and a fast double play, Gel
bert, Frisch to Bottomley, put US out
of it.
Again In the seventh we threatened.
Hallahan appeared to weaken. He
walked q batter, hit followed and
thought We were of; Hallahan didn't.
Hallahan is q crafty pitcher. He
had as much at the finish as when he
started. He always had something in
reserve. In my humble opinion, he
pitched a marvellous game.
Incidentally, Hallahan received con-
siderable assistance from Jimmy Will
son, the aggressive young catcher that
Manager Gabby Street saw Mt ID use
in place Of Mancuso. Wilson Is sup
posed to have a badly sprained right
ankle. maybe he has, but he handed
Hallahan perfectly.
Anyway. there was nothing wrong
with his batting eye. Jimmy furnished
was q big factor from every angle in
st. Louis play.
I think Rube Walberg's work was
very creditable. OF course, it did not
measure up to Hallahan'S, neverthe-
less 1t was good enough under any
other circumstances.
The Rube was put in a tough spot
His heart was set on winning and he
was bitterly disappointed.
Douthit's home run in the fourth,
which, by the way, was the first hit
of Walberg, would have been SUM-
cient to win. When Walberg was
yanked, Bill Shores and Jack Quinn
attempted to stop the hitting barrase,

homer was the spark that set the

the Cards. They were superb, the per-
feet ball team, making q wonderful

Sees 1929 Parallel.
I cannot see that today's game puts
any different outlook upon the series.
Just like last year after we beat the
Cubs two straight Bush temporarily
halted us with pitching performance
similar to Hallahan's work today, but
we broke loose again in the fourth
game, just as anticipate we will do
tomorrow when we probably will face

great AtLneblCS.
team as a great one, but the team can
be stopped. Our two relief pitchers
in the second game at Philadelphia
gave evidence of that and Bill Halla-
han proved it today. Hallahan pitched
one of the best games Of his spectacu-
lar career. His control was OF several
degrees at the outset, but he suddenly
found himself in the third inning.
Strangely enough he began to pitcn
almost with perfect control after Is
suing two straight bases on balls In
the third inning. Thereafter, he
walked only two men in the last six
innings.
Knew HalIahan Was Right.
Ali of us on the Cardinal team knew
Hallahan was right in the very FIRST
inning. He was away from the cor
ners, but his stuff was so dazzling
that when he did get the ball over
the plate the Elephants couldn't see.
Thus, Bill famed three men in the
first inning, the dangerous Bing Mil
Ter striking out with the bases loaded.
When the little left handler came
through the early crisis, we knew he
would win for us II we went out and
got him one or two runs. We knew he
was again in the great form he en-
joyed IN Brooklyn several weeks ago,
when he blanked the Dodgers, to o,
in 10 innings Of that crucial National
League series.
Hallahan was handled perfectly by
Jimmy wilson Gus Mancuso had
caught fine base ball in the first two
games Of the series, but since Wilson'S
lame ankle had become strong again,
Manager Street decided the time was
ripe 70 send Jim back into the game,
particularly TO work with young Hal
1ahan.
For three innings Walberg matched
pitch for pitch with Hallahan and had
us shut out, but Taylor Douthit in
spired US all when he hit that long
home run into the left-field bleacherS.
THAI blew started Us or and from then
on Mack had no pitcher who could
cheek the Cardinals bats. Mack re-
lieYed Walberg quickly in the nth in
ming. sending in the right-hander, Bill
Shores, but Shores also was pounded.

ball pitchers.
Made BingIes Count.
We got quite a few hits in Phila-
delphia, but most of them were wasted.
To-Day we totaled 10 hits and made
nine of them count in the scoring
BY so doing we turned the tables COM
pletely around on the Athletics, who
scored IL runs on IL hits against US
in the two games in Philadelphia.
Manager Street. I believe, will send

SHAMROCK DEFEAT
LAID TO "GADGETS"
Skipper BIames Mechanical
ContrivanCes, Designer
Credits Americans!
~ the Assoeiated prasa.

BY the Associated Press.
DLYMOUTH. England. october 4,
- Some Of ths reasons why
Shamrock v did not lift the
Americas Cup this year. as Sir
Thomas Upton had hoped, were ex-
platned to 4nterviewers by Capt. Ned
Heard, who sailed the greer sloop
against Enterprise, and by Charles
Nicholson, Shamrock's designer. when
they arrived home from their yachting
adventure.
Capt. Heard said mechanical devices
which made Enterprise faster boat
defeated Shamrock v. Nicholson said
had devoted practically
five months before the regatta tuning
her up and testing every experiment
considered worth while TO put her in
condition for victory.
Designer Is Retleent,
Capt. Heard arrived on the Caronia
with his racing crew. He would make
no further comment concerning the re-
suits Of the races or the causes OF the
Irish baronet's defeat.
He declined to comment on the me
chanicaI devices" mentioned by Capt.
Heard, and concerning which there had
been previous discussion. He simply
mentioned that these "gadgets" enabled
Enterprise 10 sail closer 10 vindward.
"On returning from another defeat
Ia the races for the Americas Cup,
said Nicholson, 81 envy Sir Thomas LIP
ton for the reason that the defeat was
my responsibility and not his" He
added that Sir Thomas had done all
he could, and, like q true sportsman,
had accepted his disappointment.
Vanderbilt Credited.
Although mute on the nature Of En-
terpriSe's mechanical appliances, Mich
olson declared:
THE result of the cup races depends
on speed sailing TO windward by close
windedness. On those vital points En-
terprise was without doubt much SUI
per1or to Shamrock v. Her amateur
skipper, Vanderbilt, head Of the syndi-
cate which had her built, with his COLI
leagues and crew devoted practically
all of the i've months the yacht was
afioat before the races 70 tuning her
up, and their success was largely due
to this. Every experiment worth trying
was most thoroughly tested. This perse-
verance resulted in use OF the hghteSt
spars, the most efncient sailing equip.
ment ever produced on q racing yacht
being at the disposal Of Enterprise.
"It all helped wonderfully in close
winded sailing, and Enterprise clearly
showed in the first few minutes Of SAIL
ing that Shamrock v couldn't possibly
win"
Nicholson said he knew nothing OF
plans for rebuilding Shamrock v or
building another, as indicated by Sir
Thomas himself when he arrived home
earlier this week.

CONNIE SAYS HALLAHAN
DESERVED TO WIN CAME
Athletics Chieftain Contends Odds Still Will Be in
His Favor Even if Cards Win Another of
the Remaining Two St. Louis Games.

We surely lost our knack Of making
timely hits today. I have no cause
to complain. Hallahan simply had
something on our boys and he deserved
to win.
I started with George walberg. my
other left handler and when he re-
tired the first nine men to face him
felt confident that he was going TO win.
Everything was going along smoothly
until Douthit broke the pitching duel
by hammering the RUDE for home
run. He yielded another run In the
fifth inning and replaced him with
Shores.
Shores did we'll until the seventh
when three Jumped hits gave st. Louis
two more runs. Quinn got the side
out, but in the eighth he was found
for two baggers by Bottomley and
Hafey that gave the Cards their hnal
run.
While the Cards won today. we still
hold the whip hand with two victories
to our credit. Our players feel certain
that they can take the next two games
and end the series here, but II the
series goes back to Philadelphia for Q
sixth game, the od6s still are In our
favor
The Athletics are anything but Q
gloomy lot tonight in spite OF CUR set
