The Atlantic end of the Canal was
the special "job" of the then Maj. Jad-
win, assistant to Col. Goethals, ana the
lob was one of the more difficult OF the
whole project, involving the Harvesting
of the fractions Chagres River by con-
struction of the Gatun dam. His sue
cess in that undertaking, more than
score Of years ago, led to his selection
for a greater task In 1929-the master-
ing the Mississippi River.
Gen. Jadwin died unexpectedly OF
cerebral hemorrhage in Gorgas Hospl-
tai. at S o'clock yesterday afternoon,
according to Associated Press dispatches
from Panama City. He but recently had
arrived in Panama as member OF
commission appointed to determine
whether the Panama Canal should De
modernized or a new canal cut through
other members of the special COM
mission were S. B. Williamson, former
division engineer of the Panama Canal;
Dean Arson Marston of Iowa State Col
leee of Agriculture and Ray @. Finch,
former State engineer of New York.
The commission had held several meet
ings in Panama, with Gen. Jadwin
presiding.

interior with dredged mud.
Served in Spanish War.
After completing several minor river
Improvement tasks in North Carolina,
he was appointed q major and later q
lieutenant colonel and went to Cuba
with the 3rd u. S. Volunteer Engineers
for Spanish American war service.
On September 8, 1900, the city OF
Galveston was devastated by q hur-
ricane and flood, with great loss OF LIE.
Jadwin was ordered to the scene OF the
disaster as q member of board OF en-
gineerS charged with investigating dam
age to Federal property and preparing
plans for reconstruction. The board
drew up extensive plans for erecting q
mile of seawall, raising the jetties and
rebuilding the fortiflcations. and Jad-
win was appointed to carry out the
project.
Not long following completion OF the
Galveston work Jadwin was CHOSEN as
assistant to Col. Goethals in develop
ment of the Panama Canal. He organ
lied the Chagres division Of the canal
project and superintendent excavation
operations and construction of break
waters on the Atlantic side OF the Snip
way.
Devised Flood Control Plan.
Jadwin's first experience with "Old
Man River" was in 1922, when the river
broke its banks at a number Of points.
He did not remain long on the river at
that time, but later, as assistant chief
of Engineers and finally as chief OF En-
gineers, devoted much Of his attention
to flood control on the Mississippi.
More than 400 lives were lost in the
1927 food before Gen. Jadwin organ
ICED his rescue system. After the rescue
organization began to function scarcely
half dozen lives were sacrificed. The
Army Engineers had an efficient nav"
in operation throughout the height OF
the flood on the lower river.
With recession of the waters Gen.
Jadwin applied all his thought and en-
ergy to flood-prevention plans, as re-
suit of which he submitted to Congress
his well known flood-control project.
This plan called for larger and higher
leveeS, spillways and floodways and was
finally enacted into law.
Took Rail Engineers to France.
During the World War Gen. Jadwin
organized and took to France the 18th
Railway Engineers. He then served rs
director Of light railways and roads and
as director of construction and forestry,
in general charge of construction of all
wharves, hospitals, barracks, shops and
buildings, barges, railroads, roads and
warehouses. At the peak of this work
he had 10000 men under him. He re.
ceived the Distinguished Service Medal
and other awards.
Gen. Jadwin was senior American
consulting engineer for the st. Law
renee Waterway Commission, and had
served on board which recommended
| preparation of plan for reconstruction
of the Muscle Shoals dam
In recent years he had turned down
many lucrative offers in private life,
preferring to remain with the service
in which he had spent the greater part
of his life.
Gen. Jadwin resided at 2540 Massa-
| chusetts avenue.

Sports Something Here

There have been a lot of
football games around the Capt.
tai in the meanwhile. but were
they outstanding attractions?
No, positively no! And the at
tendances proved they weren't.
You can't get thinking people
trapped into paying fancy
prices to see football involving
colleges where both teams don't
carry plenty of public reaction
and lots of tradition.
The tidiest little grid AN
nual" Washington has had
since the historic Georgetown
Virginia games, the George
Washington Catholic University
game, has been discontinued.
and Maryland and Navy, who
played their first installment
here last Saturday, promise to
give Washington a successor to
the few big football exchanges
the city has ever entertained.
The Annapolis and College
Park elevens are already
signed to play again next fall,
on a Saturday in November
when not only the weather
should be more propitious. but
when the crowd should be
over the $4,000 in Clark Grit
fifth Stadium last Saturday.
Some of the hackers Of that
game we're a bit discouraged
with the attendance, but we
see no reason to feel that way
about it. There were many
interfering influences Satur-
day to detract from TIE foot
bali attendanceS here. First
there was the Laurel races
which drew 10000 people,
10000 of whom must have
been from Washington.
The Washington times., 1931-10-14
Other Detriments

Secondly, many were at
home listening to the world
series broadcast and others
hadn't. yet recovered from the
expense Of trips to Phila delphia
for the three series games
earlier in the week. Thirdly,
the prices for reserved seats
were scaled a bit too nigh for
these times of economic unrest,
and fourthly, it was their first
meeting here, and any football
classic needs several years in
which to build up a back
ground.
If Maryland and Navy choose
a Saturday next November dur.
ing the first two weeks thereof,
Laurel won't pull customers
away. The ponies will be in
Pimlico during that time. Then
the Maryland Navy management
will have profited by this years
experience and will gauge the
prices downward.
Also it will be the second
local meeting of the teams and
the event will have the season
ing that one year will bring,
and within a couple of more
years that Maryland-Navy game
will become a classic of these
parts where they won't be
able to get all the people who
want to see the game within
the limits of Clark Griffith
Stadium.
BY the way, they tell us Mary
land, which was an agricultural
college then, defeated Navy
once away back in 1883, by an
unrecorded score. If there is
any old Marylander or any old
Navyite who recalls that score
or who has any clippings or
references to it, we'd sure like
to reproduce them for the en-
1ightenment of the public.

pickings weren't much good and
we hardly were able to pay ex-
penses, so we gave up that tour
and it seemed like as if I just
was all through as league ball
player when the Bristow team in
the Oklahoma League decided it
would take a chance on me and
I was loaned to them for the rest
of the season of 1924.
Sold to Greenville
Some of the men that had
seen me play for Guthrie and
Bristow told somebody at Green
vile, Tex, which was in the
Texas State League, that I was
fair sort of player and so be.
fore the 1925 season began I
was sold for $500 to Greenville.
I don't know who got that $500
but whoever got it must have
thought that he put a fast one
over on Greenville because I was
thinking that way, too. I didn't
figure I was worth any $500 to
anybody but so long as Green
vile paid that much for me I
said to myself that I'd bust a
leg, if I had to, to prove to them
that they weren't cheated too
bad.
1 did some pitching for Green
vile. played the Outfield in
pinches, but most Of the time I
was at second base. I played
SO games for those fellows and
/ was Socking the ball good but
1 wasn't much shuckS at field
ing.
I was always so anxious to make
a play that I'd snatch at a ball
before it was ripe" and I'd hobble
on the stop. Or if I wasn't doing
that I was throwing 'em wild
ever so often.
The records which the Cardi-
mails dug up about me from some
fellow in Texas and which have
been passed around lately to
newspapers show that made 103
runs, 127 hits. 18 homers, stole SO
bases and batted for .339 in those
98 games. They also show mat
I made 80 errors and was Iielding
for only 1922 which is terrible low
in any league.
Started In 1924
would like to say that the
history of me which has been
given to newspapers is a little
twisted. It shows that I started
with Ardmore in 1923 and went to
Greenville in 1924. I never played
at Ardmore, but I did play against
Ardmore while with Guthrie. The
year 1923 is not right. 1t should
be 1924 when 1 started.

seemed to be way, way up high
in the places where l was sure
I'd never even get close to.
The only money ever got for
playing ball before they agreed
to give me that $125 a month
at Guthrie was when they would
slip me IS a game some times
for playing with the Kelly
Jewellers in Oklahoma City. I
guess that $125 the folks paid
me at Guthrie was wages about
as low as they ever did pay any
body but I tell you it seemed like
was sort of stealing when l
took that kind of big money
from them for doing nothing
but having million dollars

the kid-days when / first wanted
to be- real ball player; Of the
later ones when I got myself a
job selling peanuts and pop in
the Oklahoma ball park just to
be near the game; of the time
when they made me the proudest
kid in the whole State when they
let me be the bat-boy and later
on go into the outfield and
"shag" the fly balls.
Too Eager at Final
It certainly was great to be a
league player after all that time
I was working up as an amateur,
then as a $5-once-in-a-while semi
pro, and I certainly made up my
mind that wasn't going to film
the folk in Guthrie. Il sure was
out to give them a fair deal and
was trying all the time to help
them win. But, like as before, I
was so blamed anxious to Put out
the other side all by myself that
I kept the other in-fielders and
some of the out-fielders cussing
me plenty for getting mixed up
in their play.

ing second was pretty near al
ways right alongside the center
or right fielder when they made
the catch on high fly-balls, but
it is all true. OF course, would
do that only when there was no
one on base. If any of the enemy
was on base then I'd stick right
to the sack and aim to get them
in one way or another.
We didn't have such q bad
club at Guthrie but the town
didn't seem to go very much
for baseball that year and the
club dropped out Of the league

NEW YORK, Oct. 14.-Owen d.
Young, chairman of the Com
mittee on Mobilization Of Presi-
dent Hoover's organization on uIl-
employment relief, today appeal
ed to every school and college
eleven in the United States on be-
half of the jobleSS.
He asked that each team give
the gross proceeds, less actual
expenses, Of at least one foot
bali game this fall to the emer.
gency relief funds now being
raised throughout the nation.
Young urged that if necessary
poSt-season games be arranged
so the unemployment relief con-
tests may be played.
College Heads Back Plan
The plan has the backing Of
many college presidents, it was
announced. Opinion of college
heads in various sections of the
country was sought by Young as
to the feasibility of the benefit
games and while all did not give
their approval, so many did that
Young was satisfied the plan
was practicable.
Decision of the Big Ten Con.
ference to play benefits was
reached as q result of YOumg'S
inquiries, it was announced,
and the plan for the Army
Navy game was reached under
similar circumstances.
Arrangements for many post.
season games are now under
way.
In his call today Young placed
emphasis on the hope the games
would be made student activities

students may have a part, with
the rest of us, in meeting it,"
Young suggested that officers
Of the senior class in each school

Details Arranged
In his call the Presidents COM
mittee chairman said he thought
it an excellent thing for the stu.
dents of the nation to recognize
the unemployment emergency and
to have a part in aiding the un-
fortunate.
As YOung'S nationwide appeal
was made plans were launched
here for the 1891 Army.Navy
