MAY OPEN YOSEMITE
TO THE MOTORIST
It May Do Much to Strengthen the BOr-
derland Route with the People
If Park Is Opened.


Within a few weeks motor cars may
hidden confines Of the famous Yosemite
National park in California. The an
nCuncement is being hailed with de-
light by thousands Of motorists all
over the country, who for years,
have sought admittance for their cars
to the wonderful government reserve.
The word now being circulated is that
major W. T. Littebrant. of the First
T. S. cavalry, who wa stately ap-
as guardian of the park, is not opposed
TO the automobile, as was his prede-
cessor. and he will doubtless soon rec
Cmmend to the government officials
the admission Of cars to the Yosemite
valley.
For many years motorists have be-
mOaned the regulations governing the
park which have barred automobiles
and allowed only hOrse-drawn vehicles
If the Yosemite valley is opened to
the use of motorists. it is believed
that thousands more people viii route
their tours through that section and
their preference for this part of the
country will have much to do with
advertising the BOrderland highway
This is one of the three feasible
routes recommended for the road and.
i'm the estimation Of many motorists,
the best
One Of the main reasons why auto
mobiles have been thus far barred from
the parks is that its guardian feared
accidents. Some of the roads I'm

can motorist today is travelling over
scores of highways which are much
more dangerous

The fraternity hopes to be able IN
sine to adjust salaries on a Tar more
sensible basis. Last year player on
the Pittsburg team was slSned up for
$500. He had no say In the matter.
Wagner in the same club was drawing
$40. 000 Wagner may have been II
times the more valuable asset, Yet
a player who IS worth no more Inau
$500 should not be in the big league.
He can get more in the sticks with

Jack O-COnnor in the civil courts in
St Louis, was awarded a verdict for
1000 against the St Louis Americans.
This was the amount Of a years sal
ary as manager of the Browns on a
contract that Ban Johnson cancelled
because he alleged that O'COnnOr had
purposely cOuntenanced a scheme to
boost Napoleon LajOie's batting rec
ord above that of Ty Cobb. LajOie,
il is said, was allowed TO make a hit
every time he came TO bat in the final
game Of the season so that he might
earn an automobile which went for
the batting championship.
Skeleton in Closet is Ratified.
Now that little scandal was hushed
I'D at the time by Johnson. He
Strengthened out the matter by getting
an extra benZine buggy for Larry and
awarding Cobb the honors. The skel-
eton in the closet, however, was ratified
again in the O'COnnor suit when Ban
Johnson produced witnesses who testi-
fled that they had overheard O'COnnor
instructing his men TO give LajOie an
advantage over Cobb.
such testimony was not Of a nature 10
reassure public confidence in prOfes-
sionaI baseball And it did absolutely
no good. as the jury disreSarded II
anyhow. Civil law could not under
stand why a baseball contract should
not be equally binding on both par
ties.

Crease business GeneraIiy-They

The American Highway association
has begun the issuance Of a series Of
instructive papers presenting the most
important phases of road improve
ment from the standpoint OF both the
Iayman and the engineer
Among the first to be issued is a
reprint Of the address by w. W. Finley,
president of the Southern railway, at
the recent American Road congress on
Good Roads and the Cost of Living"
Mr. Finley holds that the cost Of liv-
ing is largely an economic question
and that efforts should be turned to-
ward Increasing the area of farm land
under cultivation and increasing the
yield OF farm products per acre He
points to the well known fact that
prospective farm settlers are largely
governed by railroad and public road
facilities and that when these are not
adequate farm operations are dis
cOurased-
Increasing farm products by getting
more people on to the land and by
bringing large area under more in
tense cultivation is largely a matter
Of trauspO said Mr.. Finley.
Concerning public roads as feeders
to railways, Mr.. Finlay says: May it
not be a fact that the transportation
needs OF many localities that seem TO
be waiting on railway construction
would be met more satisfactorily and
more cOmprehensively by a system OF
good roads connecting them with ex-
listing railWays2 The railway should
be located with reference to the main
traffic channels It can no more take
the place of the wagon road for the
collection of traffic in rural community
than the wagon rOad. can replace il as
main highway Of commerce Constd-
cred as parts Of q general transpOrta-
tiOn system the railway and the wagon
road supplement each other, and I be-
Iieve that this relation should be recog-
nized in the formulation Of plans for
road improvement"
