HAILWORTHY STARS
 WITH DUDE ARCHDALE

Readville Mass, September 13.-Hail- worthy won the fifteenth renewal of the classic Massachusetts s10000 trotting stake here today, but his victory was shared by the trim little mare, Dudie Archdale, as in the opening heat she won in 2:O6A, which equalled the record of the stake, made by Sadie Mac in 1905.
 The Harvester, champion trotting stall lion of the world, with a record of POP, was started to lower the mark, but when the time came for the attempt 1t was raining hard, and he did remarkably well in turning the course in 2:03A. He was at the quarter in :31a4, half in 1:O2h, three quarters in 1924 and the mile in 2;O3A, thus making the final half in 1:0os4.
 Six of the best class trotters in the country and abroad, as one of the number was European bred and owned, Willy, scored for the word In the Massachusetts. Ed Geers, behind Dudie Archdale, raced Willy into submission 50 yards from the wire in the first heat, winning handily. Willy was placed second, though beaten out for the place by Hailworthy, the latter being placed back position for running break in the home stretch.
 IT, the second heat Hailworthy came with a wonderful burst of speed and npped Dudie Archdale by neck. Only the heat winners were permitted to start in the third heat and Hailworthy won by a half length.
 The Bunker Hill and Norfolk stakes were two remaining features of the day S card. For the former Ross K. was best liked by the talent, but Ess H. Kay won easily.
 Pop" Geers behind The Abbe had his hands full in defeating Evelyn w. in both of the heats required in deciding the Nor folk stake.
 The 2:15 trot brought out the largest field in the meeting. c. W. Lazell. the wealthy owner and driver from Whitins- vile, Mass, won easily with Creighton. Summary:

Viebahn Was Trapped

Hub Perdue, on the coaching line, endeavored to throw a little humor into the situation, and succeeded to limited extent But the audience was convulsed with laughter in the sixth, following terrific smash to deep center by Viebahn, The runner, had he seen fit, could have made three bags, but after starting to third, and drawing the fire of Moles- worth. he scurried back to second, and there rolled with uncomfortable mirth. He figured that he had played a joke on the entire Baron team by doubling, and special joke on Molesworth by making him throw to third But in rolling about he wandered a trifie off the bag and his amusement was turned to deep chagrin when Ellam touched him with the ball, which he had held concealed for several moments The audience, which, aware of the trap, had silently watched. afraid to breathe. when the trick worked, arose to it's feet and roared with delight Vie- hahn. true, was silenced, but not Perdue He was more amused, probably, than any other man on or about the field.
 Barons Scored at Will
 If would be a difficult task to tell how tho runs were made. The Barous simply clouted the ball to every corner of the lot. and profted, too, in the fact that the yo,unteers made numerous errors. Vie- hahn relieved Case at the conclusion or tbe fourth. but he could not check the slaughter.

Messengers Terrific Swatting

The game was full oi features. Mes senger's hitting was exceptionally bril- liant. Emery fielded finely for Birming- ham, and one of his catches, single handed stab of liner in the first, was spectacular. Wiseman robbed Moles- worth of a possible triple, and by that right paw of his prevented additional Baron runs. Lynch, though he offended grieviously on numerous occasions, at times did some excellent work.
 The Vols got huffy right in the begin ming, and two of them, at least, displayed bad temper and poor sportsmanship. In one of the early innings, after fumbling Marcan's infield bounder, Bronkie tossed the ball carelessly towards the grand stand, permitting Barons on bases to ad- vance. Later on Patterson was guilty of the same offense.

 In the first place. he, himself, had ab- solutely nothing, and at the very time when his comrades should have rushed to his assistance, they deserted, leaving him alone and lonely.
 The game became a slaughter. The Barons as a result of their own good work and the poor work of the visitors annexed 10 juicy runs. Stockdale, who was on the hill for the Barons, was in perfect trim, and had it been necessary, would have held the visitors scoreless. At that, he suffered in but one inning when the Volunteers, on three hits, scored A. lonely run

THE ROSE ROUTE.
Attractive Improvement Of a Railroad
to Eliminate Its Dust Nuisance.

Attractive Improvement Of Railroad
to Eliminate Its Dust Nuisance.
The rose route TO New York" The
fowery phrase suggests a musical
comedy or a press agents weird imag-
ination. 1t is nothing Of the sort, how
ever. for the words describe tersely
the probable ultimate result of the i'm
provement recently begun by the New
York, New Haven and Hartford rail-
road. When the work is completed it
will be possible for grimy enginemen
to leap from the cabs at almost any
way station and gather an armful Of
roses to festOon about their levers. and
fresh bouquets may be procured for
the dining car tables anywhere along
the line. To be explicit, the railroad
between Providence and New London
is being beautified on an elaborate
scale. Primarily the aim is not
aesthetic. The elimination of the dust
nuisance is the inspiring motive. For
several years the railroad officials have
been considering plans for lettering
conditions and have vainly sought
some sort of vegetation to cover ex-
posed sandy banks. The problem has
been studied not only because of a de-
sire to get rid of the annoyance to
passengers, but also because the shift
ing sand has been directly responsible
for considerable expenditure in main
tanning tracks and rolling stock.
Getting rid of the dirt kicked up
from the surface of the track is CON-
paratively easy matter. as rock ballast
has passed the experimental stage. but
banishing the dust sucked in from the
sandy embellishments by the trains was
a much more difficult problem. Appeal
was made to landscape artists for a
species of vegetation that would cover
the soil and not be liable to take fire
easily from sparks of passing loco
motives. The experts recommended
Dorothy Perkins Rambler rosebushes,
and late last fall a practical expert
ment was tried with 1900 bushes in
the deep cut north of Apponaug. The
bushes are planted in three rows in
the deepest parts Of the cuts. 1t is
claimed that under favorable con-
ditions they will send out shoots
twelve or fifteen feet long in a season
It is planned to have them run up the
sandy entertainments. and INTERVENING
form a solid tangled mat which. it is
believed. will effectively keep down
the dust and fine Sand.-PrOYidence
