Willie Keller. exponent OF the time
IL art OF hitting where they amt
told one on Clarence Beaumont, the
old Pittsburgh-C Chicago player.
lit happened In the morning game
of July 4, 1908. while the Allegheny
river was jumping around the twenty
foot STAGE" said Keller. THE high
stage sent the river close to second
base. but we were almost knee deep
in water u In the outfeIds. We
were in muddy water all the time. so
to speak. and our accommodations
were better for water polo than base
ball. Beau and l kidded each other
every time we changed positions dur
ing the inning. and finally l made a
dare with Beau hat the one OF US
who made the last catch of the game
should dive into the muddy water. IL
was a funny bargain to make. and to-
ward the end OF the game 1 hoped
that Wagner and the other long hit
tiers would hit to some other held than
mine. Poor Beaumont finally had to
make a catch toward the close OF the
game. But Beau was game. He kept
his bargain by diving into the muddy
water aud bringing up a handful OF
mud"

@LARK GRIFFITH. manager OF
the Washington Americans
thinks the squeeze play one OF
the jokes Of baseball. and 1t Is
likely that the Nationals will ever
be caught trying this play. Grifhth
thinks that when a right handed pitch
er allows this maneuver to he pulled
on him he should be fined. He realizes
that inasmuch as n left handler Is I'M
able to watch third n base runnep might
get a running start of that base. but
he holds that there Is 10 excuse for a
right handler falling for this game.
But Griffith has figured a play which
Is much more effective to his way or
thinking. For instance, IL there Is n
man on first and third and none Is out
the first baseman is sure to hug his
bag in an endeavor TO hold the runner
there. Grin argues that under such
conditions a bunt toward first base will
assure one run and maybe more and
that there is no way to break up the
play. stree the mar on third makes no
effort TO score until he sees the bunt

DRAGGING

walk. The drag should be light and
drawn over the road at an angle Of
about 45 degrees, so that only some of

road. II the road already is in good
condition it should be dragged after
each rain.
The maintenance OF hard roads, be-
sides dragging. consists chiefly OF fill
ing up the holes and ruts as soon as
any are noticed. When the road is
built the contractor should be required
to place about 100 tons OF surface ma
terial and screenings at convenient
places for each mile of road construct
ed. In moderately dry weather always
pick up the old surface Into ridges six
inches apart and remove all projecting
stones before applying new material.

maintenance OF good roads. They

drainage and other details used in the
construction of a gravel road must be
attended to with as much thorough
ness as In the case OF a macadam road.
The latter resulted from the demand
for something hard and substantial
enough for the iron banded wheels or
heavy wagons. The principle worked
out made use Of the dust created by
the grinding of wagon wheels against
the small stones. This dust was re-
lied upon to fill the yoids between the

But then the automobile wasn't fig

so swiftly that the stone isn't crushed.
but the binding is lifted into the air
in dust clouds and falls any place but
back on the road. which thus loses an
essential material. Tar oil and rock
dust are now being used to make dust
less roads.

PRESENT DECREE IN
POWDER TRUST CASE

PHILADELPHIA, May 13.-CounseI
the United States government appeared
IN the United States district court here
today and presented a form OF decree
agreed upon for the dissolution Of the
combination.
The proposed decree dissolves the
combination made up Of s7 companies
and creates three companies In such
way that competition will follow.
The general terms of the decree were
agreed to by both sides except that the
powder trust does not desire the de-
cree to extend to the foreign trade OF
the companies involved.
The argument of counsel became
heated at times and finally William a.
Glasgow, special counsel for tho gov
ernment, announced "that he did not
care whether the powder combination
accepted the decree or not, -
John c. Spooner of New York, at
torney for the powder combination, in
objecting to the foreign clause, said
that the matter WIS not involved in
the suit and even if 1T were the for
eipn trade agreement was dissolved in
1896. Mr. Glasgow replied that the
government desired that the powder
concern be prevented from entering in
TO such foreign combinations or agree
ments.
Judge Burlington finally suggested
that the word tfoFeign' be left out
of the proposed decree, and as finally
