RICHMOND HILL DEFEATS FREE- PORT IN BOTH DECORATION DAY GAMES.
I By .Special Correspondent,)
The Freepori A. A, trimnied the fast Beilew'ood Athletics la»t Satur¬ day in a close game by the score of 7 lo ti.
On Decoration Day they dropped two games to the sirong and popular Richmond Hill team, after very in¬ teresting ganiep had been played; which kept the spectators on edge all the time. Scores: S to 1 and '.t to 2.
Both teams put up a flrst class ar¬ ticle of ball, and the crowd surely ap- prCiciated it, manifested by the loud applause,
Nicklas, a Sl, John's College star, played a wonderful game at short for the visitors, getting many hard knocks without the least effort. Don¬ ovan at second also covered a lot of ground, and grabbed everything that came his way, Donovan was captain of Cornell's Cniversity 1914 baseball team,
Wright in left field played a game such as is seldom, seen around these
parts. He had 12 cliances, and being a fast man, running the 100 yards in III seconds, had no trouble in coping everything that came his way.
For Freeport, B, Meaney played a start game at the initial sack, out¬ playing Keating, another 19 14 Cor¬ nell man, if that were possible. Pettit at second also played a brilliant game. I Joe had his head wilh liim ail the jtinie. Kdwards at short put up a fine arlicle of ball, digging up many a hard knock and getting his man, I Raynor. at third, played his usual 'Steady game and pul lols of "pep" into the boys, "Petty's" wallop In Ithe ninth inning, came very near get- ling past Hailinan. Cheshire, in cen¬ tre field, played a good game. Guess you can't place "Bill" wrong no mat¬ ter where you put him.
The lofvil boys infield and also that of Richmond Hill was like a stone wall. When it comes to coaching you ihave to hand it to Corwin. ! Next Saturday. June ,'!, Freeport I will have as their opponents the Orlg- iinal Empires of Brooklyn, The vi.sitors i are booked with Blue Point, East I Hampton, Flatbush and South Eliz- I abeth: and no doubt our boys will I have Id hustle to win.

EAST MORICHES WORKMEN NEG¬ LIGENT—FIREMAN OF TRAIN BADLY INJURED.
To illustrate how a railroad through the carelessness and reckless¬ ness of persons not in its employ, is sometimes powerless to prevent the, occurrence of accidents on its prop¬ erty, the Lung Island Railroad wishes to call the public's attention to the following recent occurrence:
While unloading two coal cars on May lil, three employes of a merchant at East Moriches braced a coal pocket with a board next to the main track. The vibration of an approaching train loosened the board, with the result that it fell toward the track and struck the Mreman of the passing train. The fireman's face was badly cut. several of his teeth were loosen¬ ed, and he sustained olher injuries, completely incapacitating hira. The station agent at East Moriches had warned the three men against placing the board in a dangerous position, but tbe warning was ignored.
With a view to preventing a recur¬ rence of such accidents, olficers of the Long Island Railroad's police depart¬ ment went lo East Moriches and ar¬ rested Johan Johnson. Archibald Howell and George Brown, the dere¬ lict employes of the merchant. They were arraigned before Justice Murray at Cenire Moriches, pleaded guilty and received suspended sentences.

WAR DEPART.MENT The Board of Engineers for Rivers and Harbors. Soulhern Building.
Washington, D. C.
.May IS. 19 IR, TO WHOM IT .MAV CONCER.N:
By direction of the River and Har¬ bor committee of the House of Repre¬ sentatives, the board of engineers for river and harbors has under review the unfavorable report, printed in House document No, 4 49. Sixlletli Congress, Hrst sesaion, on preliminary examination of "Jamaica Bay. with a view lo obtaining a channel IOO feet wide and tl feet deep lo and through Great South Bay to Peconic Bay. in¬ cluding channels to Parsonage and Kiinipawams rivers and Freeport and Massapeiiua creeks,''
.\l the reijuesl of the board, a sur¬ vey was made by the district odicer. i who at first submitted an unfavorable report. He estimated the cost of a canal of the dimensions specified at S2,imo,00(1. Subseinionlly upon an appeal to the board, parlies in inierest stated that sulmtantial local co-oper¬ ation by State, municipalities, and others would be offered if opporiunity j were given. The district oflicer was theri>fore directetl to make furlher in¬ vestigations and report the results Ihereof.
After conference with local inter¬ ests on the subject of co-operation, the district officer made a report recom¬ mending the iinprovement on the basis of the t'nited States doing only the excavation of the main trunk line, es¬ tiinated cost $790,000. the State or Olher local interests to furnish tlie right of way, construct al! bridges,
dredge all lateral canals and furnish areas-for the disposal of dredged ma¬ terial, the value of this co-operation being estimated at $1,193,494.
Chapter 4fil of the Laws of 191,"' of tlie State of New York directed the State engineer and surveyor to Inves¬ tigate this improvement, and If deem¬ ed feasible arid desirable for the State to participate in the expense, he was lo submit a map with the esiimate of cost. The State engineer submitted his report under date of Feb, 4. 1916, to the effect that il was impossible to carry out the provisions of the law. as no funds were made available for the purpose. He appears, however, fo favor the conslructlon of a canal on this route with the dimensions of the Slate barge canal if the cost Is not excessive.
The hoard is not convinced of tbe advisability of the Cnited States un¬ dertaking this work either with or without the local'co-operation pro¬ posed by the district officer for thb' following reasons:
la I East of Jamaica Bay there la comparatively Utile commerce to be expected, excepting in buildinp: ma¬ terials for local use. The heiiefitc would therefore be largely contined to atich building operations and to the accommodation of pleasure boats,
(hi- Iliere are liut few coniniercial vessels in Ibe localities affected that are suitable for use on a waterway of the dimensions cnnsidered.
(ci The cost of the improvemeni even if oo-diieration could be secuieii is considered excessive when compar¬ ed wilh probable resulting benefits.
All parties interested in the pro¬ pose,I improvetilent are invited to submit, witliin a period of ;!ij days from the dale of this notice, state¬ ments and arguments bearing upon tlte necessity for the improvenient in the interests of commerce and navi¬ gation. Such statements sliould be addressed to "The Board of Engineers for Rivers and Harliors. Southern Building. Washington. D, C," Should a liearing be desired, this can be ar¬ ranged by corres|i(indence with the board.
