It Is RESILIENT
BecauSe:

The pavement having inherent sta bility permits the use of soft bi- tumen,. and with a slightly rough ened surface, horses travel with perfect confidence. The great in jury to livestock by some other form of roads cannot now be meas ured, but in the days of the horse cars, when nonresident pavements were used in the tracks of horse cars. the average service life of street car horses was about five months. This rule applied to travel over nonresident pave ments, measured in dollars, be- comes appalling. All persons in- terested in the humane welfare of mans best friend,' l. e., the horse, will surely favor the resili- ent pavement that offers a path way nearest the natural earth that can be constructed, and still stand heavy travel.
Arizona republican., 1911-01-29
It Is MUDLESS
Because:

Experience has demonstrated that the Bitulithic pavement can be kept free from mud and filth as cheaply as any other form of road, being non-slippery. The Bitulithic pavement carries more crown than any other form of road, and for this reason can be cleaned with less labor than any other pavement.

One of those winter fans who love

getting harder each season for youngsters
to break into the big leagues, because
the veteran modern ball player is SO
perfectly trained and SO careful that he is
lasting from twelve to fifteen years in
the fast game, instead Of from five to
ten years.
In support of his argument the fan
was quite sure that in the past seven
years considerably less than half the
big league players in the game in 1909
had dropped out before the finish of the
1910 season.
The above table shows the fallacy OF
this belief OF 247 players who We're

G. U. ALUMNI QUINT.
Old Blue and Gray Goaltossers Will
Plav Series With VARSITY.

The old basket ball players of George
town University who are residing in this
city are organizing a quint to play
series of games with the Hilltop varsity
during the next couple of weeks. Such
move has been under contemplation for
some weeks. but real steps in that direc-
ton were not taken until a couple of
days ago. when the Collifiower brothers
and ex-Capt. Downey and Rice, four of
the best basketeers ever at the insssSu
ton, finally got together and set the ball
a rolling, 1t is probable that either Cog
gins or Kelliher will be called upon to
ill the other position.
This team will be exceedingly strong for
short halves. In abridged sessions there
is no doubt that ii will be able to give
the younger and better trained varsity a
hard rub. but in the long run the young
sters should surely prove superior. The
series Is beng arranged to give the pres
ent representatives of the Blue and Gray
plenty of practice in preparation for the
battles which will very likely take place
against the y. NJ. c. 4. some time in
March.

1t is easily figured that with just one
more good ball player in last years line
up the Nationals could have won nine
Of the games which they lost, and had
this been accomplished the team would
have finished at the head of the second
division and within hail.ng distance of
the Boston Red Sox, which finished
fourth.
When one stops to think of the number
of games which were lost by one run, at
least half of which could have been wen
had either Unglaub or Gessler been bat
ting up to their form, there appears to
be real hope in the future.
Take into consideration the miserable
start the Nationals got last spring. and
see how easily the tables could be turned
with a good showing in the early games
this year.
With Johnson pitching as he did last
year and Hughes showing good form nine
games can be changed from the losing
to the winning column without much trou-
BILE, and that would give the team per-
centage within few points of the ..OJ
mark, which would most likely be good
enough to land it at the top Of the sec
ond division.
The fact of the matter is that it does
not require great deal OF Improvement
games. The addition of Cunningham, II
he continues to hit as he did last fall,
should accomplish the change in the VIM
ming and losing columns, without even
considering what Hughes and the other
new men may accomplish.
True, there is not nue. in this base
ball DOPE for 1t is so O ten upset, but
when some of the wise n IN predict that
Washington will again be seventh If not

lowed for only slight Improvement.
Their opinions seem to be based on the
fact that Washington has never cut much
of figure in an American League race
figure that the Nationals should be high
err but, then, precedents are often upset
in base ball
The team with which Jim Mc1Aeer fin
ished the last season was undoubtedly
the strongest which ever represented the
capital in the American League. It did
not lack much from being a contender
in the race. and If that lacking some
thing has been provided, and it seems to
have been, Washington is not going to
play doormat for the other seven clubs.
Under any circumstances the team is
sure to be stronger the coming season
than it was last Cunningham at second
is stronger player in that position than
any player who has filled the place for
Washington not even barring Jim Dele
hanty the year that he played star ball
here. 1t looks very much as if Somerlot
would be the man to fill first base. He
would be an Improvement over what I'm
glaub was last season. because he is his
master a fielder, and he could not do
less with the bat.
| That outfield, while there is not a chance
for it to compare with that of Boston,

going to be just as good as it was last
