LINCOLN HIGHWAY
Of GREATER NEED
THAN PANAMA CANAL

DETROIT, July 15.--"Think of how
few persons in the United States will
be benefited by the Panama canal,
on which we are spending $420,000,-
600, and then consider the great ben
efts to be derived by the hundreds or
thousands of people clear across the
country from the Lincoln Highway,
stretching from the Atlantic to the
Pacific" said K. =. Brinegar, secre-
tary Of the Argonaut Trail committee
of San Francisco. in Detroit today.
Mr. Brinegar came here to confer
with the secretary Of the Lincoln
Highway association, the national Of
fees Of which are located in the
Dime Savings Bank building in De-
troit. The Argonaut Trail committee
is the dynamic California force in the
Western movement that is aiding the
to Abraham Lincoln and fostered by
the Lincoln Highway association.
1.-THE Panama canal, for which every
citizen must pay his share Of the cost,
will bring untold benefits to England
and Europe. enabling commercial in
terests there to gain easy access to
the Orient" Mr.. Brinegar continued.
1T will make It easy for Atlantic coast
shippers to reach the Pacific coast
and vice versa. But will 1t help the
people of Michigan, Ohio, Indiana,
Iowa. or any point in the Middle or
Far West?
yet the Lincoln Highway. of which
our own Argonaut Trail. We hope.
will be a part. will pass the front
door Of uncounted multitudes of peo-
pie, and will be perpetually at their
service. An ocean-to-ocean road,
built for endurance, Is a national road.
There are men in Nevada and in other
States today who must haul water
fifty miles over rough and burning
trails. And In States far more opened
10 cultivation the need is equally
great.
Not only will the IAncoln High
way be a living monument to great
American, but il must be TIE avenue
of momentous changes In the lie oil
the nation. Just as you may expect
great eurging change for good TO
come in the relations OF the North
and South after the Gettysburg re-
union. SO you can expect to sense

Tigers rush TO the pole today, win
ming to in ten innings. One run
IN the first off Weeder and another in
the ninth and tenth. both times with
two men down. was the best the IT.
gers could do, while Tolson and Irm-
scher's poor work, in the second gave
the Tars their first two runs. In the
tenth, Roanoke made FIVE errors. and
this, with one hit and walk. gave
the visitors four runs and the game.
Tolson and Weeder were very effec-
tive. whitcraft, in scoring in the sec
ond. was tagged while in the air by
Lebe, and he fell headlonE behind
the bat. being rendered unconscious
by the fail. which put him out of the
game. He was seemingly out. but
Norcum called him safe. Whitcraft
was not injured seriously.

GIVES INDIANS
OLD ATHLETIC SUITS

PHILADELPHIA. July 15.-The
baseball fan frequently wonders what
becomes of the old uniforms. bats and
gloves that are.discarded by big league
clubs. Much Of the paraphernalfa Is
used until 1t is so worn or damaged
as to be OF no further value, but every
club manager has on file applications
for outfittings no longer suitable for
the major circuits. Just at present
the Indian team of ST. Mary's Mission
School, at Omak, Wash. is proudly
playing in uniforms formerly worn by
the Athletics when they held the title
of worlds champions.
Manager Connie Mack was appealed
to for some discarded suits early this
spring, and in answer to the request
forwarded not only uniforms, but
gloves, bats and balls as well. Per-
haps Connie reasoned that in the role
of baseball Santa Claus he would
have first call on any St. Mary's play
er who threatened to develop into a
Bender or Meyers.

JENNINGS RECALLS
CRACK SHORTFIELDER

PROVIDENCE. r. l.. July Is
Paddy Bauman. who has been play
ing a sensational game at short for
the CLANS, has been recalled by Man
ager Hughey Jennings, of the Detroit
Tigers. Despite the fact that an in
fielder will probably be sent to the
Grays for Bauman. the latter will be
greatly missed. He is one Of the best
felders that has ever won a Provi-
dence uniform. and also broke up
many games with his clubbing.
The Tigers at present are very weak
in the inheld, Loudin being laid up
with bad leg. Then. too. iVtt has not
played the game expected OF a big
Lacquer. and Jennings figures that
Bauman, who was given a trial in
the spring. will strengthen the inner
