SOUTH MAY OUTSTRIP
NORTH IN GOOD ROADS
Tourists From Above Mason and Dixon Line Are Unani-
nous in the Opinion That Development of Highways Is
Much Greater in Southern Territory
BY HARRY WARD.

That the South Is sure 70 outstrip
that portion of the United States lying
north OF the Mason and Dixon line in
the development Of its highways Is al
most inevitable.
This. is the unanimous opinion OF
auto tourists who are streaming into
Savannah from New York. Philadel-
phia, and other Northern cities. intent
on seeing the international light car
and grand prize races at Savannah
next week. Already there are trunk
lines which, despite natural obstacles,
compare favorably with any OF the
Eastern routes. Construction IS now
being pushed on the highways Of local
importance, and the work is being
marked by the same intelligent work
shown on the routes already devel-
oped.
Practically all the work on Southern
roads is done by convict labor, and a
large proportion of the convicts are
Vagrant negroes. BY the use Of the
constant threat of enforced toll. the
South is driving this class into habits
of industry. North Carolina and
Georgia are now in open competition
for the Northern motor tourist Each
State employs convict labor. and each
has developed a remarkable system Of
trunk line highways.

by George Meinzinger and carrying

southwark. More than one hundred
cars passed over one toll bridge on
the route in two days. Savannah is
already swarming with tourists who
came with their machines. The report
on road conditions brought by the
EMF party was most gratifying.
The trip was made in exactly one
week. and covered 1,064 miles. The
car finished the trip without replen-

CLASSY MAN AT FIRST
SOUGHT FOR NATIONALS
Unglaubs Days Are Over and Somerlott Is Experiment
Great Player Passes in Jake Stahl-Note Dame
Accused of Gro oked Athletics

One of the most important concerns
of Manager McAleer during the winter
months will be endeavoring To obtain Il
suitable first baseman for the Nationals.
That Bob Unglaub is doomed is now
an open secret, and the only interest
which the Washington club has in this
player is TO place him where it will be
mutually satisfactory. While most Of
the major league clubs realize that
Unglaub's usefulness in the big leagues
is about ended and all are willing to let
him go to the minors. il is 4 question
as TO just where he will land.
While several managers have made
offers it is understood that he may
land at Williamsport, mis- home town,
as manager of the club representing
that city in the Tri-State League. IN
glaub has certain business interests
which bind him 70 WilliamspOrt. and
II any sort of a satisfactory arrange
ment can be made he will probably
be sent there.
SomerIott did good work at times AZ
ter he joined the Nationals late in the
season. but he is practically an ex-
pertinent, and in case ne should not
prove fast enough for his present COM
pany, Il viii be necessary to bring on
some one else. 1t IS in order 10 provide
for the emergency Of having SOmer-
lott fall down that McAleer is casting
about. In the closing weeks he con-
suited with several Of the American
League managers. but they wanted 50
many players in exchange for good
fret baSeman that the whole matter
temporarily fell through.
McAleer had conferences with sew
eral minor magnates after the ending
Of the championship campaign. and If
he fails to close with any of these for
a successor for Unglaub, he will prob
ably wait until the winter meeting of
the American League to put through
a deal.

lake Stahl Retires.

The retirement Of Jake Stahl means
the passing of a great ball player.
Through pure friendship toward the
young graduate of the University OF
Illinois, Ban Johnson appointed Stahl
manager Of the team here when the
player was hardly familiar with the
different parks on the circuit In doing
so he almost ruined one OF the most
promising youngsters who had broken
into the game in several seasons. The
worry and trouble connected with his
managerial position almost drove Stahl
insane, his condition finally reaching the
stage when il was necessary 20 leave
the team in mid-seasOn and seek rest
at a resort near this city.
For a while after leaving here Stahrs
work was not impressive, but during the
two seasons Just closed his work was
one OF the distinctive fe&sures of the
work Of the fast Boston Red SOX. He
had the record of driving in more runs

Notre Danes -name.

N0tIe DANES name.
Il is almost inconceivable that an
institution OF the standing Of the Uni
versity Of Notre Dame should be guilty
of such fragrant violations Of the eth
les OF craftsmanship as have developed
since an effort was made to use ut
terly ineligible men against Michigan.
The old cry Of not being worse than
the other fellow will probably be heard
at once, but this will in no way lessen
the offense of Notre Dame.
Whatever might be charged against
football and baseball, college men have
always prided themselves that ar least

free from any faint. Now. Il develops.
that in addition TO attempting TO beat
Michigan by taking men TO Ann Arbor

intercollegiate competition, Notre Dame.
in defiance of the Western Conference,
an organization that has done so much
TO clear the atmosphere surrounding the
colleges which comprise its menu eTship,
used ineligible men 10 win the confer
ence meet.
That the conference officials yesterday
decided to strip Nctre Dame OF these
hOnOrs and award them to Leland Stan
fcrdt where they Justly belong. is not
surprising, but the further punishment
Of the Indiana institution has not been
decided upon.
Graduates from South Bend hold po-
sitions Of high trust In State and
nation, and while they Will be forced
to blush at the brazen work Of those
who are now directing athletics. these
more representative men are in no
way responsible for the present de-
plorable situation. This is not the

brought into the undesirable line

her present shame the college will
learn the lesson that crooked athletics
are one Of the worst drawbacks that
any university can have. II is true
that for while a tramp athlete may
be able, with the assistance of those
IN whom rests the responsibility Of
guarding UNIVERSITIES honor. to
cover his tracks. but when the truth Is
brought out the college is placed in dis
repute. and 10 purge its name OF the
