FOR WATER FRONT
Gen. Markham, in Report,
Saws Sum Could Profit.
ably Be Spent.

Mai. Gen. Edward M. Markham,
chief Of Army Engineers, in submit
ting his annual report to Congress TO-
day, said upward of $1,000,000 could
profltably be spent In the District dur
ing the next fiscal year in improving
navigation facilities and carrying for
ward projects already under way.
An item of $165,000 was urged for
dredging the navigational channel
from Giesboro Point to the foot Of
Fifteenth street southeast, in the Ana
costa River.
In conjunction with the mainte-
nance of the suitable navigational
depth in the Potomac River from
Hams Point upstream to Georgetown
expenditure of $258,000 was recon-
mended. About 100000 cubic yards
of river bottom would be deposited at
Gravelly Point-the projected site for
Washington's municipal airport-un-
der this program. The 'lforcement
of levees of the deposit basin at
Gravelly Point would cost $4,000.
$1,000 for Tidal Basin.
Under the regular maintenance
item and the practice of repairing the
tidal gates o fthe Tidal Basin, $1,000
would be spent. while $4,000 would
be charged to surveys and investiga-
tions in the Office Of Maj. Robert G.
Guyer, district engineer for the War
Department for the Washington area,
under whose direction the local i'm
provement program would be executed.
Gen. Markham pointed out that the
estimated cost of improving the
Washington Channel water front
would be $1,650.000, and to initiate
this program $4,000 can be profit
ably expended on preparing detailed
plans and specifications for structures
covered by the project, preparatory
to launching the enterprise.
The Washington Channel water
front Improvements would embrace
construction of a yacht harbor, ac-
commodating some 800 craft; wharves
for transportation companies general
service; the building of two wharves
to be utilized by the District Of Co.
lumbia, estimated to cost $389, 900, and
other Improvements to remove present
eyesores.
$4,000 for Anacostia Park.
Gen. Markham advocates that $780,
900 be spent for carrying forward rec
lamation and development Anacostia
Park, on which some $3,445, ,438 have
already been spent. This would i'm.
prove the area adjacent to the District
line.
The National Arboretum, with pro-
visions for plants Of various kinds,
would occupy the area in vicinity of
Mount Hamilton at Anacostia Park.
Terminal facilities at Washington
we're characterized as inadequate" by
Gen. Markham in urging that improve
ment should be launched without
delay. Officials Of the United States
Engineer Office explained that the
preparation of plans and specifications
for structures would take from four to
six months.

favor, and that is a turntable wind
up that practically is unknown in the
American League as far as right
handed pitchers are concerned. The
best way to describe it, probably, is to
offer Earl Whitehill and suggest that
he be pictured as a right-hander.
Fitz. like Whitley, turns his
back to the batter at the height
Of his wind-up. To an orthodox
batter the third baseman seems
to be throwing the ball.
The Yanks, OF course. aren't all
right handed hitters and those who
do bat that way are pretty fair of the
tee. But Fitz can look at them with
indifference. He faced far greater
danger not long ago and emerged with
flying colors to close the season by
not only walking on the face Of the
earth. but by winning 9 out of 10

ing as far as the Giants fans are
concerned but they'd breathe o
Il lot easier If their boys would do
something mighty soon about getting
rid Of those pesky Cardinals, who are
hanging like leeches to their fading
National League pennant hopes.
The Giants still hold a four -and-a-
half-games lead over the Gas House
Gang. They need only two victories
or one triumph and Cardinal defeat
to clinch the pennant, but things
didn't look so rosy following yester-
days happenings at Philadelphia and

Just when the Giants were all set
to clinch the pennant by taking the
Phillies twice, Jimmy Wilson'S men
rose in all their might, beled their
last-place rating and smote the league
leaders in both games of a double
header, Ill and 60. At the same

CAScARELLA's game was as per-

put together two hits for the first

however, never advanced beyond Sec
ond base. In fact, none Of the Sox
did.
In the last six innings only three
Bostons got on base. Rookie Gaffke
doubled in the fourth. Dahlgren beat
out q hit in the seventh and Kroner
singled in the ninth. All were strand
ed in the spot on which they arrived.
Cascarella famed no batters nor
