Appeal to Highway Department.
Applications from most Of the east
ern counties are coming to the main
tenance division Of the State Highway
Department for aid in opening roads.
The blizzard will probably cost the
department more than all the other
snow storms of the winter. In Decem-
Der, January and February about $S,-
600 was spent by the department for
the removal Of snow. More than this
amount has already been authorized
for the opening Of main highways and
township roads obliterated by the
blizzard. In Montgomery County ST.
600 will be required to remove the
snow and open the roads for traffic.
Bucks County, where the furry Of the
blizzard reached its height, has not
been heard from, but George II. Biles,
maintenance engineer, under whose d.
y%ection the removal OF snow Is being
varied on, says that he expects it
will take fully as much Il not more
to clear the roads Of that county.

TO-DAY
Crippled Colonies and linn
my BurLe's Aggrega-
alton Meet.

Our crippled Colonies open an
eleven-days' home stay with Indian
apolis this afternoon, and even in
their wretched condition will be able
to give Jimmy Burke's HOLSTERS a
run for their money, as the latter
team, although lucky in the way of
injuries, do not seem to be able to
strike their stride. Manager Jack
Tighe and the Louisville team GER
tainly have the sympathy of the
fans in their unbroken chain of mis-
fortunes and are hoping for a break
in their luck, which seems to be on
par with the Philadelphia Ameri-
cans, who at the beginning of the
year were looked on as sure pennant
contenders from the start, but have
been gievn a severe setback on ac-
count of numerous injuries, But in
spite of this no one believes them to
be out of the race, and this applies
to Louisville, which is bound to
make a showing, as the material is
surely there and the leader is every
thing we wish for. After the four
games with indianapolis the Column
bus team play their first series with
Louisville, FriePs Senators now be-
ing the Association leaders, but look
as If playing away past their form.
