IN REPAIRING A DIRT RoA[
Few Little Hints That VIII Tend TO
Make Work of Fixing Up
Highway Easier.
In repairing a dirt road:


Don't fill up the holes and ruts in
the dirt road with brush with rocks
on top. and little dirt to cover the
rocks; but fill up the hole with dirt
of the same character as the balance
of the road
Don't throw all the refuse from the
bitches into the middle of the road
thus softening the surface and de.
stroying the solid, firm bed that you
have obtained by previous work; but
throw this material out on the op,
posite side of the ditch
Don't leave the center of the road
the lowest point; but make it the
highest and give the surface of the
road a slope of about / in 20 to the
side ditch.
Don't carry the water across the
surface of the road from one side to
the other; but carry 1t by means o.
culyerts underneath the road.

GR|FF DEFENDS HIS
FORMER EMPLOYER
Says Fault at Cincinnati Lies
With Stockholders and Not
With Hermann.

Manager Clark Griffith is rallying to
the defense of Garry Hermann. presi-
dent of the Cincinnati baseball club,
who comes in for deal of criticism In
having contracted with President Eb-
bits for the sale Of Joe Tinker, and
whose terms were repudiated by the
Cincinnati stockholders.
Griff Is In a position to know what
he is talking about when he says that
Hermann Is not to blame. According to
the Nationals manager. the Fleishman
crowd, principal stockholders In the
Red club, are entirely to blame for the
conditions imposed upon the various
managers during the past few years.
As manager for the Reds for three
years, Griff comes near knowing what
he Is talking about.
"Garry Hermann is the most unjust
ly abused man in baseball declared
Griffith today. II body seems to
think he's the ma. is responsible
for the many chan. the Cincinnati
management. He The directors
and stockh ol6ers OF club are the
ones who have caused ii the trouble.
Hermann knows baseball from be-
5iiIuiuR " Gnu, ne kuOWS IldI a nall-
ager cannot do good work when handi-
capped by higher officials who overrule
MIN. And while 1 was manager no
always gave me free rein: he let me
run the club as i saw fit. He never
overruled me, he never disputed my
Judgment, and he fought for me against
outside interference
But what 1 had to buck Is what
every other manager of the team has
lad to buck. That's the mixing in Of
the FleislIman crowd, who control the
stock. They don't know anything about
the inside part of baseball. But they
think they do. And they want TO run
the club, want to run Hermann and
they want to run the manager.
That's the Cincinnati situation. Some
people think Hermann ought to be re-
moed from the club, feeling he is the
man who is responsible for the disgrace
full state Of affairs In Cincinnati. 1t
would be a mistake 10 remove Hermann.
But IL that Fleishman crowd and few
other dabbling directors and stockhold-
ers could be removed and Hermann al
lowed to run the club as he saw fit, 1t
wouldn't be long before Cincinnati
would be one Of the smoothest running,
easiest managed clubs in either league"

Somewhat similar.

Coached by two former Georgetown
University stars, the play Of the Cath
olic University and George Washing
ton University teams is somewhat sim
liar. Georgetown University plays about
the same sort of game, and the three
teams look to be about evenly matched.
1t is impossible, according to those Vi
tally interested, but a three or four
cornered series, with the Y. NJ. c. A.

would be well worth watching.
