Federal Judge G. B. Kennamer has

The ruling was made yesterday

LONDON, May 3l.-There are few
more pleasurable ways Of touring
Britain than by waterway, but this
seldom occurs to the British them
selves. Strangely enough. those who
have done it are chiefly visitors from
other countries. just before the
war, for instance, young American
padded his own canoe over prin-
cipal canals Of Britain and returned
with a series Of photographs Of I'M
usual value.
Much of the beauty Of the British
countryside owes its charm to
countless rivers and canals. But
many of the most delightful of
Britain's waterways are hidden
away. They have to be discovered
OF the beaten track. In the Derby
shire dales, for example, there are
streams in the depths of woodlands
whose beauty challenges any sylvan
scene In Switzerland.
Through Shakespeare Country.
AS for canals, it is not unusual
for those who live close to them to
be almost unaware Of their exist
ence. A typical example is to be
found at Oxford. The canal there
forms highway Of water through
the main gateway OF the university
city.
Then there Is the Grand Union
Canal, which winds its way from the
Thames to the heart of the in
dustriai midlands. It courses quietly
through the beauties of Warwick

Visitors Tour Britain's Waters

Heart of Enaland's Rural Charm

shire, through Shakespeare's coun-
try and along its course is sllrpris-
ing variety Of wildlife. Spires and
cottages In the immediate back
ground mark the presence Of iso-
lated hamlets.
The canal builders Of Britain are
not usually credited with regard
for the picturesque. but few stretches
of artificial waterways are straight.
Britain's canals meander in much
the same manner as rivers and
streams. and are a pleasing feature
of the British scene.
Some Require Permission.
There Is hardly q British water
way of any size from which the
public can be barred. OF course,
some OF the canals are owned and
controlled by boards whose members
would like their use to be restricted
to commercial craft. A number are
owned by railway companies which
stipulate that permission to use
them for pleasure must be obtained
from them in writing. The Thames
is controlled by two authorities, but
any one may explore it by conform
ing to regulations and paying rea-
sonable charges.
The rivers Of Yorkshire, Noting
hamshire, Bedfordshire, and the
artificial waterways of Scotland may
all be navigated by any one who
will take the trouble to get in touch
with the appropriate authorities.
Cambridge, with Its impressive
university, may be seen at its best
from the river Cam. And so from
every other waterway, the visitor
can see Britain's countryside at its
best.

frequently during games.
In the early days Of baseball the
balls were made entirely by hand,
and no amount of patient labor
could guarantee uniformity. The
process was slow and the capacity
limited. The core of the ball was
usually made of rubber, although
leather, paper and wood were often
substituted, according to the kind of
ball desired. A ball that would
bounce well had a rubber core. If
less bounce was what the manu-
facturer wanted, he used leather or
paper. If little or no bounce was
demanded, wood went into the core.
Wrapping the Core.
The next process was wrapping"
Wet worsted yarn was wound tightly
around the core and great effort was
made to wind 1t evenly so as to pro-
duce a hard ball. To insure round
ness the ball was frequently forced
into a cup. Then when the winding
was completed, the ball was dried
in an oven until it was hard and
firm. The cover was then seWed on
by hand. The covers of modern
baseballs are sewed by hand even
today, since no machine has ever
been invented that will adequately
perform the job.
The handmade balls varied greatly
In weight and size despite the
patient labor that went into their
manufacture. But soon an auto
matte machine was invented that
was so accurate it produced balls
absolutely identical to every other
bali it turned out.
Price Controls Materials.
At the turn of the century there
was demand in the major leagues
for a stapdard for all baseballs.
From that movement there came the
present official league ball, which
may vary from to 51l ounces in
weight, and 8 to ~ inches in cir
cumference. The ball must be a
perfect sphere.
The core of the modern ball is
made Of either rubber or cork to
insure maximum bounce. The yarns
with whichsthe core is wrapped are
the very best worsteds, containing a
fixed percentage Of live wool in the
case OF expensive balls. Where a
cheaper ball Is desired the manu-
facturer uses less expensive grade
of coarser yarn, but still correspond
