SPORTING COMMENT.
BY J. ED GKILLo.

While IL would undoubtedly tie a step
forward to have the two major leagues
employ a staff OF official scorers to
travel from city to city, after the fashion
OF umpires, scoring would still be unsat-
fsfactory unless the greatest care were
taken in selecting the men for this work.
Much Of the scoring depends on judgment.
and even with corps Of experts to do
this work. the chances are that the play
ers would still have a kick coming. No
one has ever been able to score a ball
game which agreed with the players
views. 1t is but natural that the man in
the stand should see things from differ
ent angle than the player on the field. and
it is this difference Of viewpoint that
frequently causes ball players to hold
that they are not getting what is coming
to them from the scorers.
Under the present system Of appointing
scorers competency has never been taken
into consideration. The average ball club
turns the position over to the writer rep
resenting the most influential newspaper.
He Is not only supposed to do the official
scoring, but he Is also the official
squarer.' In some cities the duties OF
the Office are divided among several writ
ers, not that the work Is laborious. but
to give all q chance to get q slice of the
amount that is set aside for this purpose
by the club.
in only very few instances do the clubs
appoint a scorer because he is capable,
and the wonder is that the ofhctai aver
ages are not more unreliable. Not only
las this system of appointing the OFF,
ciai scorer been used to subsfdize writ
ers in the various cities Of the circuit,
out this year an incompetent boy was
made official scorer for the worlds Sc
lies simply because his father owns one
OF the influential papers which devote
their entire space to base ball. This action
the part of the national commission
VAS a confession that the supreme court
4 base ball did not place much impor.
ance on the accuracy OF the official
figures.
History records but few instances
where any man holding a prominent po-
still in his prime, ana decidedly few
champions In any line OF sport have
brown aside their spangles while their
lain to the title was still indisputed.
anne has perhaps ever developed. how
ever, seems to differ from others In this
respect. for though he is still considered
the head Of all the mat men, he insists
that he is through with the game and
will never appear in contest again.
That Gotch is probably sincere in his
stand is evidenced In that he is not show
ing an inclination to get on a match right
at the present time. when there il a
temporary boom in the wrestling game.
and it would be possible for him to make
a fortune by meeting the several heavy
weight wrestlers who are touring the
country. among them Hackenschmidt,
who gave Gotch the hardest battle of his
career. '.-'-,-
1t is gratifying to notice that those who
have been actively engaged In foot ball
during the past season are not IN favor

AID FOR ROCK ROADS
Native Limestones to Be Tested
at Kansas University.
BY ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT
Counties and Towns May Have the
Benefit For the Askine-Materials
and Methods Found That Will Make
Macadam Last indefinitely.

The engineering department of the
University of Kansas has decided to
Join the good roads movement. From
now on it will be equipped to give the
benefit of Its testing laboratories to
the counties and cities in the state Of
Kansas on road materials and meth
DDS. A bulletin will be published soon
by the department giving the standard
tests on more than POO samples of
limestone from the eastern half OF the
state. The regents established test
Ing station Mt Lawrence about a year
ago, but up to this time there have
been no funds to publish the results
OF the tests that have been mGdc. Tie
tests In the first bulletin are OF stones
available for macadamizing, OF which
there Is practically an unlimited
amount
In 1905 Professor W. c. Hoad who
has charge OF the work, had two sen
Tor students begin an investigation OF
the value Of Kansas limcStones for road
making. and they tested nearly hun
dred samples. In the following year
two more students, Edward n NOyes
and D. c. McConaughy, carried on the
tests. Last year more tests were made
from time to time until the depart
ment has a good idea OF what lime
stones will make macadam roads.
There Is wonderful difference In
them, some being practically worth
less, while others-and they are In the
majority-are first class material.
Two tests are applied, one to deter
mine the tOughness and wearing quail
ties Of the stones and the other to de-
termine the cementing properties OF
the powder that Is made by the road
roller and the wear Of traffic. 1t some
times happens that stone that Is
good in one respect Is worthless on
account OF the lack Of the other quail
ty. Wearing qualities are determined
by the standard "rattler" test, which
was originated In France thirty years
ago. The samples OF some are broken
into uniform pieces, so that fifty will
weigh approximately eleven pounds.
They are put into Il RATHER" which
consists OF an iron cylinder. set at an
angle OF thirty degrees with the axis
of rotation. In the test, lasting five
hours, the cylinder is rotated 100000
times, and the amount ground off the
samples in that time by weight de-
termines the measure Of wearing quail
ity OF the stones. In making the &C.
ment test the powder is taken from
the "rattler" and mixed with water

which We're furnished by the farmers
living near town. At the end OF the
procession an automobile owned by
