TAIL END OUTFITS
HAD BATTLE ROYAL
Cincinnati Defeated on Its
Own Field by the LOwly
Cardinals.
(National News Associat:on)

CINCINNATI, Aug. 30.-Two tail
end teams put up a glittering battle
here yesterday afternoon, showing the
form that would be expected of a
couple of leaders rather than from
clubs decorating the bottom of the
Icellar. The Reds, fresh from their
last eastern excursion, tackled the
.eighth-place Cardinals with a view to
sputting Higgins trailers entirely out
rof the struggle for a higher position,
but Slim Sallee, the human string
bean, stood like a stone wall in the
tpath of the Reds and blocked them
down at every turn. Gene Packard
Twas raped hard in two innings so the
rest OF his work which was excellent,
went for nothing.
The Reds outhit the Cards, so far
las mere number of bingles was con-
lcerned, but not in effectiveness. for
the enemy punched all Ave of their
binges just when they would do the
most good, while the Reds hits were
widely separated except in the eighth
round, when the one rally just failed
to reach.
Both teams played great ball in the
field, performing like contenders for
something much more lofty than sew
enth place Packard pitched brilliant
1y except in the two rounds when the
Cards won the game Long hits de-
cided the contest in favor of the Wis
itors. Sallees corking double in the
third was good for tally, and ko
netchy's tremendous triple to right
center in the fourth were the blows
that broke down the young left-hand
er's defense. The two lengthy wal
lIops were good for three earned runs
and that was enough. Score and sum

LIFE IN WRECK ON ". NJ
Brakeman Clarence B. burst of len
nings. Instantly Killed Last Sunday.

Brakeman Clarence E. burst. son of
Mr.. j. L. burst, of Jennings, this coun-
ty, was instantly killed IN wreck on
the Western Maryland Railroad which
occurred on Sunday at point near Big
Pool, Washington county, when a rear
end collision between two freight trains
took place.
Brakeman burst. who was in the
caboose of the forward train, was buried
deep under the wreckage of more than
a dozen cars and the engine which was
thrown crosswise of the track. After
recovering the remains OF the unfortu-
nate young man his body was taken to
Hagerstown on a special train where
funeral services were held the following
day.

At the national convention of the

the United States by maintaining first
class highways and continually extend
ing their systems to points of interest,
while this country lost millions each
year by its laxity in this department.
Fine roads in Europe made every

From 5000 to 10000 of our best

The prosperity of this country depends

OCEAN To OCEAN HIGHWAY
TO PASS THRO GARRETT
Benefits Of Congressman BorIand S Bill
Discussed BY Garrett County People.

The article concerning the bill intro
duced in the National House of Repre-
sentatives on the 18th inst. by Repre-
sentative Borland which appeared in the
columns of The Republican last week,
has attracted considerable attention
among Garrett countians, many of
whom have expressed an interest in the
scheme and voiced their sentiments in
short interviews granted a representa-
tive of this paper. Among the senti-
ments expressed we publish the follow
ing:
The project would be valuable, but
is too stupendous an undertaking to ex-
pect success.
1.-The ocean to ocean highway would
benefit our county but politics will hold
it up for long time"
The National highway to California
would be nice, but it would be tremen-
dous undertaking."
Mr.. W. Fox, who is perfecting the
Mountain Tops Estates of Garrett
county, for the development of about
10000 acres of summer homes. fancy
stock farms and gentlemen estates,
for the wealthy of the United States,
is an enthusiast for the ocean to ocean
highway. He has much data on the
subject and he explains, in addition
to organizing Garrett county board of

betterment association. he is also to
organize Garrett County Good Roads
Association, both of which will receive
liberal financial and other support bv

roads. He also said 81 think we all
agree that it is very desirable, indeed,
that politics should be strenuously ex-
cluded from it. It's question in which
there is no difference which can dlscrim-
mate between party, and in my judg-
ment can hardly differ very radically"
When the federal government use
state roads it will pay the state and
such funds will then be available for
additional state road work.
It's the purpose of the Garrett County
Good Roads Association to have the
State road from Grantsyille to Oakland
used as part of the ocean to ocean high
way, and from Oakland to Columbus,
Ohio, but if Congressman Borland's bill
is carried out and the road passes
through the northern part of this county
and our state road connecting at Grants
vile will mean wonderful benefit to
the entire community, and it would
be difficult to estimate the many adj
vantages to be derived therefrom.
The ocean to ocean highway is only
the beginning of national system as
arteries or spurs will be constructed
both north and south to points of inter
est both for commerce andSfor tourists,
all along the line and eventually the en-
tire country will be accessible and as
we have many naturally advantages
which few of the states and counties
possess, one connot conceive the great
benefits in store for us.

Tables will be placed about the walls

served for dancing. Dinners will be served
beginning promptly at 8 o'clock in order
that at $3.50 o'clock the room may be
cleared for dancing. The club manage

late parties must begin the dinner with
the course that is being served at the
time of their entrance, and that this plan
is unalterable.
