Scarcity of Material and Failure oi New Men to
bhow Up Pruvi. g Serious Drawback to Vir?
ginia, Which is Facing heavy bcheouie.
[Special to The Times-Dispatch.]
Charlottosv lie. Va., January 14.?
With tiie necessity of practically re- j
building Virginia's track team in Dine
for ilie George Washington meet on I
the iiignt ot February lu, the outlook I
it idwo on account of the scarcity of
material, and the failure ol new man
to come oul und try for the team.
Vfrg iiia la this yeur underfilling one
of the most ambitious schedules ever
attempted by the truck loam, and tho
whole success or failure of the sea?
son depends on what can bo done
Within the next thirty daya.
The team of 1918 will have to ho'
composed utmost wholly of new man,
and the 11 failure to report on the Hold
Ik the v.iiuae of muoh worry to all In?
terested in V'lrg.nia truck prospects.
It Is the present intention to have
two reiuy tcums if sufficient man can
b( found lo compose thorn. If these
two teams can ha developed Virginia
will compete against Harvard and
Vhlo In ? triangular meat in Hoatoo
on February 10. and will also compote
In Washington agu.nst Johns Hopkins
ami Washington and Lee for the
Southern championship on the same
night. North <"nrollna and George?
town win uiso compote agulniit Vir?
ginia in th* various meets, .'.ud Ii is
necessary that they b.ii opposed by ail
adequate team.
The fall try-outs showed that th< rft
was plentv of good material In col
lege, and what Is puzzllinr Coach Lan
nit;un Is that the men seem to have
lost interest. Virginia has heid the
relay championship of the fnuth for
seven vn.irr. und oultk work must be
done to keep this record unbroken.
Captain Todrt. Cook a. Harris. Ward
and rtiimbough are fast rounding Into
form, and will be the mainstays tills
yetir; but it :s absolutely necessary
thai th*y have a frood supporting
team. The obre-co of former Captain

BIG DRAIN ON GAS SUPPLY
Extra Men Work Day and Night
to Meet Extraordinary
Demand.
While people all over Richmond are I
calling frantically for u plumbur, hun- j
drcila of houses bolng without running
water and with only the moat pro- |
curious gas supply, city officials In tho
Gas, wat<T und Klcctrlc Departments
have been working night and duy to
relieve the situation, all three depart?
ments keeping largo forces of men on
all day yaaterday and reporting lato
ut night that conditions were ?i little,
morn favorable?that they were at
least holding their own.
In tho water Department tho situa?
tion has been most dlfllcult, out Ihoio
has been no repetition ot the whole?
sale tie-tip which oceurrad for a time
in South Richmond on Saturday. Tho
settling bnslns have a week's supply
of water, even were the river to re?
main frozen hard, and by constant
pumping a pressure of twenty feet wop
reached In New Reservoir last night? ]
twr> icct of the maximum capacity?
affording an ample supply oven in the
event of a Iorgo fire, which Is tho
constant night-mare of both Fire and
Water Department officials in such
w.cuthcr.
I'umpins Under Difficulties.
Pumping lias bcon precarious and
difficult. Tiie steam plant at tho elec?
tric station has been In full operation,
us the constant How of ice from time
to time makes It necessary to shut
down both the water powor genera?
tors at the electric plant and tha di?
rect water pumps at the New Pump
House. Extra men have been kopt
at work cutting this Ice away, und all
avullable power given to the water
pumping, though tho men both at tho
electric plant und tho Pump-IIotiso
have had to work under frfezlnr, con?
ditions through long hours to keep up
tho supply.
Ill hundreds of oltler residences
pipes hav?! froxen und burst. Plumbers
would take regulur work yesterday,
cut the heads of several shops them?
selves did such emergency work as
would prevont great loss and give
temporary relief where possible.
Uaniicr of i ire
The great water tank which affords
fire protection for the Miller &
Rhoads store froze, and Unding that
the sprinkler system was out of com?
mission, a number of the floor walkers
and employes of the store w.-re kept
on duty h)1 yesterday and last night
to gux.ro. against Incipient fire. In
many other buildings yesterday extra
watchmen were employed, as it was
realized that with frozen fire plugs
ai\d slippery streets. and in many
casts with furnaces running to their
maximum capacity, the. only chance of
saving property In case of Clre was to
choke It nt the first puff.
The hollors In the heating system of
the First Police Station exploded Sat?
urday night, through the freezing of
a water feed pipe, causing damage
estimated at several hundred dollars,
and making the station almost un?
tenantable. Freezing of water pipes
necessitated the abandonment of hun?
dreds of cooking ranges attached to \
hot water tanks In order to prevent
dur.gcrous explosions.
The Gaa Work has been laboring tin?
der almost as great difficulties, staam
pipes have broken at the upper holder
and other troubles due to the extreme!
eold weather making the condensation
or gaa moat difficult. Saturday night
somu loctlons of the city suffered al?
most a gas famine. In many Instances
the lighting of a gas stove or hot water
heater on the upper floors caused all
burners on the lower floors Instantly
to go out, while under tho best condi?
tions tha light flickered up and down
but feebly. Conditions were generally
better In the West End, where newer
mains and newer plumbing In the bo.ies
gave a more abundant supply. Most of
the complaints of freezing gas pipes
have come from old houses In the cen?
tral section of tha city, whore the ser?
vice pipes aoroas areas, or where the
meter Is exposed to freezing condi?
tions. Superintendent Kno wie* sug?
gested last night that as a precaution
all house holdors had better throw a
piece of carpet or a heavy blanket over
their motera on freezing nights.
Owing probably to thn uso of gus
stoves In tin effort to keep warm, more
gas was burned in the past twenty-four
hours than ever before lu the hlator;.
of the gaa works. 2,503.000 cubic feet
being consumed. The previous record
was on Deoember 34. 1900. when 2,084
769 oublc feet wns consumed.

tro men and running the works all day. ?
Mr. Knowles reported a slight gain In
tha amount In the storage tanks, not?
withstanding this immense drain. When ,
he left the works last night after a
most strenuous twenty-four hours,
there was more than 2.500,000 cubic font
of gas in tha two holders, or more than
the maximum supply for twenty-four
hours, and tha gae making machinery
was oontlnulng to push the InAlcator
higher and higher. Mr. Knowles sold
ho believed that the worst was over,
and that by the uso of a large, foroo of
additional men he could i<oop ahead ot
all dornende, notwithstanding the ex?
treme d'fflcultles of condesatlon of gas
In bitter weather. Sixteen men Havn
been added to the outside force to aid
citizens In thawing out frozen meters
and repairing any dnmage.
I<eaks on several smaller water
mains wore reported last night in sev?
eral sections Of the city, but no con?
siderable section was out off from
ample supply, though It was believed
that in thousands of houses the supply
plpos and fixtures were frozen, and no
plumber would guarantee to fill a repair
order unless of special emergency char?
acter in less than a week.
