has been my experience that you can
fool him, possibly, one day, on q GER

you face him he will whale the cover

he doesn't know the meaning or the

uses splendid judgment In playing for
batters and his marvellous speed en-.

SHEPPARD VICTORIOUS
THOUGH He LOSES TO
YOUTHFUL AMERICAN
Veteran Olympic Runner Wears
Down German in Order That
Young Colleague May Win
SURPRISES ARE COMING
Some Athletes, Hitherto In
heard of, Are Making Names
for Themselves
By RALPH L. YONKER.

Yesterdays victories by Americans
at the Olympic games at Stockholm
were not confined TO those in ath-
letics.
Melvin Sheppard, the great Ameri-
can runner. won a victory OF which
America is as proud as II is over the
lsarels that the athletic prowess Of
her stalwarts have won.
Sheppard Kan a losing race yester-
day In the S00-meter run in order
that his young colleague. Tad Mere
dith might win. Sheppard, conceded
to be Americas greatest middle DIS
lance runner and a strong fayorite IN
the race, wore down Americas most
formidable rival, the German, Braun,
and let 19-year-old boy take first
honors from him.
Meredith, Sheppard and Davenport,
who took first, second and third hon
ors for the United States, all did the
distance in less time than the former
worlds record. Therefore no honor
is too great for all OF them. But
Sheppard gets the most.
When Sheppard gave up his
chances of winning the gruelling race
in what may be the last Olympic
games in which he can appear, he
made a name for himself that even
the winning OF that race could not.
Meredith, the boy who broke the
worlds record by going 500 meters in
| minute, 81 $40 seconds. Is a young
ster from Mercersburg academy He
has been prominent in prep school
athletics, but was never very serious
ly considered as candidate for the
Olympic games because of his youth.
Finally II was consented to take
him along with the athletes, but IL
was freely predicted that when he
was put TO the test he would blow.
Now those who predicted that are in
hiding.
There have been many surprises In
the Olympic games thus far. Many
OF the athletes have performed as per
their touted ability. In fact most OF
them have done so. but dark horses
have doomed up in several events.
Besides this young Meredith, whose
victory is said by some to mark the
passing of the old school OF athletes
headed by Sheridan, another surpris'
ing athlete Is Alma Richards, the
Brigham young jumper, who took the
high Jump with an upward leap OF
feet 33 inches.
George HORNE, the phenom. VINO
had been stirring athletic interest Tor
months In this country before the
Olympic games, fell down badly, hav'
irg to be contented with third
place. HORNE was rather expected
either to break all records again or
10 make only a fair showing as he IS
an cratic jumper Today he might
be able to defeat all corners easily
Americans conceded the victory IN
the broad jump TO the wonderful
Tsicliteras. He jumps faster than MS
name can be pronounced, and got
over IL feet 7-10 inches in the stand
ing broad jump yesterday, leaving
second and third places TO the Adams
brothers, Platt and Ben.

CORPORATE
Connections Judges Had be-
fore Appointment Basis
of Martin Resolution.

WASHINGTON, May 28.-Repre-
sentative Martin, of Colorado. wants
an investigation made as to the cor
porations with which federal judges
have been affiliated prior to their ap-
pOintment as judges. He said:
1.-THE impression is very general
that the decisions of the federal ju-
dietary during the last thirty years
have very largely favored the big
business interests, and the impression
is almost if not quite as widespread
that this judicial trend is due to the
antecedents and training of the class
of men who make up the federal ju-
dietary; in other words, that the bulk
Of them graduated from corporation
law offices
In order to put his views into eff
feet Mr.. Martin has introduced
resolution requesting the president to
furnish Congress with the corporate
connections of ''all federal judges ap-
pointed during the last thirty years. -

There are more than one-half mil
lion farm wagons and vehicles manu-
featured every year. They soon go to
the Junk pile, because bad roads
break them up.
Christian county, KY, has demon
strated conclusively that good roads
cost less than bad roads. Some years
ago It issued 100000 in bonds and
with the proceeds constructed 100
miles Of good road. There was, of
course. the usual pla'ntive chorus
from the pessimists to the effect that
this huge outlay would mean bank
rpptcy to the county, Instead OF
this dire prophecy coming true the
taxes are actually lower than they
were before this 100000 burden was
assumed Property values have

commentary from the standpoint o
the pocketbook.

GuIlford county. N. c.. is recog-
nized as one of the leading good
roads counties of the South, In a COM
parison drawn between 1t and RAN
dolph county, in the same state, the
ASHORE Courier says:
"a few years ago Guilford voted
a bond issue of 100000 for good
roads. Since the building of good
roads the increase in population is
greater in that county than in any
other county in the state. Ten years
ago Randolph stood next to Guilford
in white voting population. Now
Guilford has twice the population of
Randolph. A few weeks ago the peo-
pie Of Guilford got together to con-
slider the question of issuing more
bonds for good roads. 1t was found
that the county had a surplus of
$4,000 each year, after repairing the
roads and paying the interest on the
bonds and providing a sinking fund,
and yet the tax rate is only seventy
nine cents on the 500 valuation.
Meigs county, Tenn, will hold al
election June II on the proposition to
vote 100000 in bonds for building
good roads. The county has previous

shown material increases, business
has developed, and the citizens of
the county are more prosperous than
ever before.
At Marion, s. c., few months ago,
a stranger remarked upon the excep-
tional number of teams bringing in
cotton on Monday. He was informed
that this was due to the fact that
cotton on that particular day was
$1.25 per bale higher than usual. 1t
seems that the roads to the west of
Marion are good, while those to the
east are bad. The stranger encoun-
tered two teams, one coming from the
east and one from the west, bringing
in loads of cotton. The team from
the good roads section brought in
seven bales, netting the owner
premium of 1915. while the team
from the bad roads section brought
in two bales, netting the owner a
premium Of $3.50. This Is an eloquent
