Kirk Miller Says:

(Cont. from First Sports Page)
between now and the night of the
fight, no few of the Federal bu'
reau workers are forming groups
and financing their trips imme-
diately in order to secure the best
fight seats, arranging to repay the
cost in two installments, half on
June / and half on June Is.
For obvious reasons it is impos-
sible to reserve these splendid
fight seats for later purchase, as
the seats are being sold on a first
come, first-served basis and it
would be quite unfair to those
who come along later on with
cash in hand to be told there
were no more tickets available,
when actually the rack was
choked with uncalled for reserva
tionS.
So you fight fans who can
finance your trip over the pay
days ahead, had better see your
banker or your uncle" and secure
your trips Immediately, paying
back your financial sponsor as
you get the money.
All trip details can be had at
the Pennsylvania Railroad, tele.
phone District 1924. No tickets
are at the Times office, nor will
they be on sale there.

According to Izaak Walton

Reports Of good catches these
days are numerous. Rockfish,
hardheads, bluefish, channel bass,
and even salt water trout. The
"old Polekitty" seems to have
gone into hiding for a spell.
Capt. Joe Fletcher, dean Of
Washington rivermen, reports the
Potomac muddy again, at Chain
Bridge, he states that he weighed
in a rockfiSh at his boathouse
Monday evening that tipped the
beam at seven pounds. Good
catches of these delicious scrap
pers were made right up to the
time of the big rain. He believes
that barring further rain the
river will be in shape for more
sport by this weekend. Blood
worms, herring. and artificial
bait are the best lures.
Under Last Years Size
From Chesapeake Bay points
reports indicate the steady ad'
vance of hardheadS but they are
not running as large as last year
or as numerous. Perhaps this
weekend will tell a different tale
Nearly all catches at these points

Is Riders
Program
BY GARRETT WATERS

Missing signals is all right,
says Coach Herman Littman, OF
Roosevelt High School, but miss
ing too many of them is an
other thing.
The mentors team has lost
several of it's games because OF
this, it seems. At least, several
run-Scoring innings have been
messed up on account Of 1t de-
spite the fact triumphs have been
registered after all was said and
done a. the end of the day. Inc
Riders were scheduled to meet
Central today in the interhlgh Sc
ries, but the game has been posi-
poned until week from tomorrow
on account Of today'S competitive
drill.
In order to get his players into
the knack of looking for signs
and understanding how the plays
are executed, Littman has re-
sorted to yanking 'em at a
moments notice.
Teach Youth Game
In this way, he believes, ne
can teach the youngster the in
side baseball apparently lacking
even though it might appear as
if he is using undue disciplinary
measures.
Says Lttman:
"The high school ball player
knows surprisingly little Of the
inside game. And after ALL
that's as necessary as catching,
pitching and hitting well. 1t IS
nv aim at Roosevelt to instruct
the young player along these
lines as often as is possible. For
I believe the other will take care
Of itself, If the player has any
ability at ALL"
The development Of baseball at
Roosevelt has been more than in
teresting this year. Littman has
helped the situation great deal
and in future years promises to
put capable teams on the field,
particularly if his ideas bear fruit.
The Riders, though they have
failed to set the world on fire, have
played fairly well, both on the out
side and in the interhigh series
this season. Last week. a most
gratifying triumph was registered
when the Tech High nine was
knocked out of the championship
contention. The Riders victory
was by a II to 4 margin.
Tough Task Ahead
Next week the team hopes to du-
plicate the trick against Central. A
little tougher assignment is at
hand for this one, however, as the
Mt. Pleasanters have developed
into a smooth working combina-
ton. thanks to the driving Of Coach
Jack Ray. .
Howard Bowers, who defeated
Tech, will try and win again for
Roosevelt. Opposing him will be
Arnold Heft, young southpaw, who
pitched so well while turning back
Eastern. also last week.
Heft realized an ambition OF sew
eral years when he walked off the
mound victorious over Eastern.
That was of beating Eastern, the
team that's held a monopoly on
interhigh baseball in recent years.
The young left-hander almost
had his dreams spoiled early this
season when laid low by an attack
Of the grippe. But he recovered
quickly and to the extent of getting

meant it when they said that it was
fun to work.
More than once had Paddy the
Beaver argued the matter with Peter,
but Peter, happy-go-lucky fellow that
he is, was unconvinced. Now Paddy
had made a point that Peter was
obliged to admit. The point was that
he, Paddy, had saved Peters life and
he had done it by working.
Peter had had a narrow escape. a
very narrow escape, from Yowler the
Bobcat, and it had happened over
near the pond Of Paddy the Beaver,
where Peter was watching Paddy cut
down a tree.
IT guess now," said Paddy to Peter
the first time they met afterward,
that you see some good in work. 3"
Peter stared at Paddy with funny
blank look. What are you talking
about? What under the sun are you

Paddy.

it." said he. why shouldn't I admit
it?"

stallations were operating at capacity.
Attention was called to the health
hazards resulting from this condition.
Gayton suggested that 1t might be
necessary to design air conditioning
installations which would be more
economical in their use Of water. He
said that the use Of cooling towers
would reduce the amount OF water re-
quired by 95 per cent, but that with
the present low rate for water In
Chicago, there was little incentive to
60 to the expense Of erecting aud Using
cooling towers.
Gayton also pointed out that some
economies In the use of water might
be effected II air conditioning engi-
neers would install condensers with
minimum water requirements.
Other alternatives designed to effect
economies in the use Of water were
pointed out by members of the chapter
who commented on Mr.. Gayton's ad-
dresses, but in most cases these sug-
gested alternatives were found tc
present serious health hazards.

SEWER AND WATER
EXPANSION SEEN
Demands for Air.Condition-
ing Equipment Cited by
Engineers.

That an extensive program Of water
main replacement and sewer enlarge
ment will have to be undertaken by
American cities in order to take care
Of the demand for water for air con-
ditiontng equipment was the consensus
expressed at q recent meeting Of the
Chicago Chapter of the American So
ciety Of Heating and Ventilating En-
gineers.
Loren D. Gayton, acting engineer
of the city of Chicago. spoke on Air
Conditioning-Chicago's Water Prob
lem"
There are 398 air conditioning in
stallations in the Loop area at the
present time" Gayton said. THE water
requirement Of these installations Is
about two gallons per minute per
ton Of refrigeration. The Loop nor
mally requires about $4,000 900 gallons
per day, but when the air conditioning
equipment Is in use, this requirement
Is increased to $4,000, 900 gallons.
The Loop area now is about 16 per
cent air conditioned. How are we
going to provide enough water when the
area Is 100 per cent air conditioned
in say 20 years? Or how are We going
to provide enough when the Loop area
Is 80 to 40 per cent air conditioned?"
Expected Increase.
Gayton also presented figures on
the expected increase in population
In the Loop area with consequent in
crease in air conditioning requirements.
He stated that a 100 per cent air
conditioning program in the Loop area
in 20 years would require 295,000, 900
gallons Of water per day. He pointed
out that the maximum main capacity
now is 240, ,000, 900 gallons per day. The
situation with reference TO the dis
posal OF the waste water Is even more
serious.
Even with the loop only 16 per
cent air conditioned the present sewer
system Is overtaxed," Gayton said.
THE sewer system Is Is years old.
Every authority for the last IS years
has said it should be rebuilt. but this
has not been done because Of the un-
certainty about subway construction
and because Of objections from
property owners, who would be re-
quired to pay special assessments"
Health Hazard Cited.
Gayton pointed out that the amount
Of water discharged into Chicago
sewers from the condensers on hot
Summer day Is far in excess OF the
volume from the heaviest rainfall In
the history Of the city. Members OF
the chapter whc commented on con-
ditions in Chicago declared that water

necessary when more is to be gained
that way than by being obstinate.
More than once had Peter Rabbit
stated that he could see no use in
work. He thought it waste of time.
He couldn't at all understand people
like Happy Jack the Gray Squirrel
and Chatterer the Red Squirrel and

Beaver. These people actually seemed
to enjoy working, and this was too
