Jennings Not TO Blame For Poor

or Notes.
BY TOMMY CLARK.

Owner Navin Of the Detroit team
seems to have changed his mind anent
Hughey Jennings, and he Is out with
q statement that Jennings Is not to
blame for the failure of the Tigers this
year. Most every one familiar with
the conditions was aware Of that fact
before Mr.. Navin, and the story print
ed several weeks ago to the effect that
he was disgusted with his manager
created the impression that Navin was
not the baseball man that he had been
given credit for being.
Give Jennings some ball players and
he will prove himself as good q man.
ager as ever before. But without play
ers neither Jennings nor any other man
can have a winner 1t requires a good
ball team to play good ball consistent
ly, and all the brains and knowledge
cannot make lot Of weak players win
pennants.
Surely a manager is not to be blamed
when a majority of his players start
on the down grade and are unable to
deliver the goods. With a good ball
team Jennings has proved himself a
capable leader.

THAT was In 1923. and that initial
mile of railroad was the beginning of

Standing upon carpet has tendency
to muffle the voice. since a layer Of
inelastic and nonconducting material
is then interposed between the seat of
voice production and the floor, which,
when il is not covered. acts as a sound
board. taking up the vibrations and
giving increased effect and distinctness
to them. This can be illustrated by
placing a timepiece first upon a rug or
carpet and then upon the bare floor
In the latter position the ticking is
much louder. because the vibrations OF
the clock are then much more forcibly
communicated to the floor and so TO
the air of the room and finally to the
ear by actual contact between the
clock and the floor A carpet damps
or kills these vibrations because it is
bad conductor of sound. The differ
ence. which is so audible in this case,
is in some degree'to be detected when

BENNINGTON COUNTY ROADS
~ " kss=aaz 70
How the Work is Progressing Under
Engineer Winslow
West Dorset has practically com
pleted her state aid section as laid
out by the engineers. The work has
been well handled by Road Commits
sioner John Madison and the road is
20 feet wide and $50 feet long. Its
cost is under $500 leaving a surplus
of over $400 which will be used to
construct a culvert and for work on
another road.
Woodford has begun TO expend her
5000 allotment recently awarded her
by the state highway commissioner,
Charles w. Gates. The work will be
done under Fred Bowles and Will
consist of widening a narrow section,
draining a side hill and surfacing a
section beyond the Dinwiddie place.
Rupert has been forced to suspend
work on the New York section until
after haying but has made an excel
lent showing thus far. Banked turns
will be introduced on this road, a
new feature in Bennington county.
Road Money for Bennington
The government engineer has made
a personal appeal for state funds for
the purpose of draining the selected
road directly in front of the hedge
near the Jennings estate. This work
will be done by H. M Durham, road
commissioner and will remedy one of
the worst sections of road during the
early spring. The work will be paid
for largely by private subscription,
assisted if possible by the state. Mr..
Durham is now building a split log
drag that will materially cut down
the expense of maintaining the roads.
Never before have the selected roads
been in such good shape north of
Main street, except for the section
through the village of North Benning-
ton In company with B. G. SIade
and H. NJ Durham the government
engineer inspected several bad sec
tions of road with a view of perman.
emily improving them The citizens
are now cooperating with the road
commissioners as never before in
the effort to improve the roads OF
Bennington.

The farmers have had a good week
for their hay harvest, but many do
not begin until after the Fourth so it
is only the early ones who have
profited from the weather. The hay
crop is no more than average this
year in spite OF the wet spring. The
dry autumns of the past three years
have perhaps weakened the stand.
All titled crops are backward because
of the late spring and have been
