American Road conaress.

Mayor Walter Lemann has beer
requested by Hon. A B. Fletcher
president OF the Fourth American
Road Congress and state highway
engineer of California, to name three
delegates to attend the sessions O
the Congress at Atlanta, Georgia
during the week of Nov g.
/ Forty-seven great organizations are
| taking part in the Congress under
the leadership of the American High
way Association and the American
Automobile Association. In his let
ter to the mayor, President Fletcher
calls attention to the fact that prac
tically every state highway commits
sioner will be present and take Dart
in discussing the important problems
of road construction and main
tenance, and that some of the fore
most men in public life will devote
their attention to the great question
OF federal aid to road improvement,
in an endeavor to work out policy
which may be submitted to the con-
gresS of the United States with the
support Of the organized road move
ment of America.
An Important move bearing upon
state legislation will be made at the
session to be held under the auspices
Of the American Bar Association, at
which Joint committee, appointed
at the 1913 Congress, will report pro-
gress in compilation and suggested
revision of state road laws. The
creation of commission participated
IN by each state to work out a re-
vision of the road laws will be urged
The National Civil Service Reform
League will hold an exceedingly i'm
portant session On the merit system
in road administration.
President Fletcher calls attention
to the exhibits to be made by the
United States government, the states,
and more than hundred of the
leading manufacturers at the Con
gress, which will illustrate every
known method, material and equip
ment for road construction and
He urges that the
city and parish be officially repre-
sented, as the Congress is in reality
a training school where a very great
amount Of useful information can be
obtained through attendance at lee
lures with leading specialists in road
and street work, and the collecting
II the many instructive bulletins |
which will be available for distribu-
ion.

broad acres Of unsurpassed fertility
have only touched upon the farm
er-immigrant who expects to p1r
chase land on which to operate ant
make his home, and who l belleVe Is
the one chiefly sought by this asso
citation.
There is. of course, the farm-labor
er-immigrant. who, or the larger
holdings. may be very essential
However, | believe it possible tnat
this class may be induced to come
| through the influence OF the farmer
himself, without any special. effort re
quired on the part Of an association
Of this kind. In fact, iE an agricul-
tural state like this, the location OF
the farmer should be cur chief pri.
mary aim. Once our acres were all
working full time, which means feed
ing all other sorts Of industries, i'm.
migration of other classes would be
sure to follow as a natural cOnse
luence.
AS | have already said, | believe
the ice has now been broken in the
real immigration problem, as a very
large section of the north and west
now know about Louisiana what they
never knew before, and probably
doubted, and we have now an oppor-
tunity, which had not previously pre-
sented itself, of reaching prospective
immigrants who are persuaded of
our possibilities through the publicity
given them by their own agricultural
press.
It seems to me, therefore, that it
remains with us to take advantage
of this fact and follow it up; and in
a tentative manner, | would suggest
the following for your considerations:
l. Thorough organization by this
association.
2. Thorough preparation Of all
details for the correct information Of
the prospective immigrant.
j uuIC1OuS dud COllSSl fdtlF0 du-
Vertising in some, or all, of the ag-
ricultural journals represented on
the recent editors trip, and by
other means.
4. Arrangements for illustrated
lecture tours in the sections from
which the immigration is desired;
and to bring some Of the prospective
immigrants to this section to see
the lands, and their surroundings,
which you have to offer them.
5. Treat the prospective settler,
when you get him down here, to
everyday southern hospitality, with
out embellishments.
6. Get right down to business, and
don't waste time on nonessentials.
With such splendid personnel, |
cannot see why the South Louisiana
immigration Association should not
make an absolute success of this
problem, the solution of which SO
much depends upon for this section

LRy T.I.Erapn TO The Tribune.

Washington, Sept. 10. Although out.
batted, the New York Yankees downed
the Washington Senators here this
afternoon by a score of s to 4. The
Yankees made only eight hits off the
deliveries of Ayres, Engel and Harper,
but they made them count heavily.
They held little rallies in the first and
ninth innings, grouping their safeties
around bases Oh balls, errors and the
other incidentals Of the game.
Carol Brown was on the rubber for
the visitors. He was pounded for
eleven hits, but he managed to keep
them fairly well scattered until the
ninth inning, when four were punched
around an error and a hit bstsman.
This rally scored four runs and raised
the hopes Of the fans. The hard hit
ting Mike Mitchell had a chance to
win the game. He came up in the ninth
with the bases filled and two out, but
his grounder to the box was handled
by Brown.
All three Of the Washington pitchers
suffered, although most OF the damage
was done with Ayres and Harper on
the mound Three TALES were pounded
in the third off AyreS, and when he
quit Engle was mauled for another in
the fifth. Hartzell's triple and an err
ror told the tale of that score. Har-
per. who pitched only the last inning
was touched for a brace Of tallies.

sented on Steps of City
Hall to Diamond
Heroes.

Barney Simon, who lives down on
jackson ST., near Hamilton Fish Park
probably is the happicst boy through
out the length and breadth of Man
haitian Island. Barney was ono OF. the
forty-six boys, members of the four
teams that won championship hon
ors in the Tribune Baseball Iourna-
ment. Silver cups, the team prizes,
and gold medals for the members OF
the teams were distributed from the
steps Of the City Hall yesterday alter
noon.
Barney. as captain Of the eighty
fvc-pound team from Hamilton flSh
Park. was the first to climb the steps
and nave the gold medal pinned to ms
red sweater by Bertrand de y. Cruger'
the Mayors secretary, and receive the
silver cup, the team trophy.
Barney's back is not so straight nor
so sound as most of the other boys ,
but he is one Of the best little short
stops of his class. a year ago ne
played on the COrlcar's Hook Park
Midgets, who reached the finals only
TO be beaten by run. This season
the Hamilton Fish nine did not lose
a game, either in the inter-park elm
nation series or in the final round Tor
the class championship.
With the distribution OF the cups
and medals yesterday the riouhe
Baseball Tournament came to an end.
More than a thousand teams at inc
twcnty-four Fairgrounds and parks on
Manhattan Island started out bravery
i'm quest Of the trophies on June 8.
After a month Of elimination miss
and-out games the field narrowed
down to less than ninety. These then
played an inter-park series. Next
came the final round.
The champions for 1914 are inc
eiphtv-five pound team from Haml-
ton Fish Park, the ll5-pound team
from Seward Park and the l3O-pound
team from Thomas Jefferson Park.
There was grin on every lace a
the winning teams stood in front Of
the table on the City Hall steps and
MIR. Crugcr and William J. Lee, Su-
perintendent Of Recreation. handed
out the little white boxes. There was
a general squarinG of shoulders when
the medals were pinned on sweater or
baseball shirt One man in the crowd
said to no one in particular, 81 wish

didn't have prizes like that when

The medal itself is well worth fight

Matty, the only Matty, in action. On
the reverse is the following inscrip-
ton: "Inter-Park Playground A. A.

1914"
When the cups were presented TO
the team captains they turned and
passed them from hand to hand.
Every one was pleased; every one
was congratulating every one else;
And the crowd got the fever and
smiled approval There was one dis

IBy Telegraph 70 The Tribune.

Southampton, Long Island, Sept. 10.
John G. Jackson, of Maidstone, sur
prsed a large field by winning the
medal with score of 81 in the eight
een-hole qualifying round Of the in
vitation tournament which began to-
day on the National Golf Links Of
America.
Before the start such favorites as
Eben NJ. Byers. of Allegheny. for
mer national champion; Max K. Pres
ton, Of Baltusrol; Philip Carter, OF
Nassau, the metropolitan junior title
holder; John \. Stearns, Sd, Of Prince
ton, and r. VI. Lewis, of Ridgetield,
we're looked upon as the most likely
contenders for the medal.
Byers was the only one to come any
where near doing himself justice, as ne
got 80. He started last in company
with Oliver Perrin, of the home club,
and at that time conditions were ideal,
as the strong wind Of the early hours
had died down completely.
jackson, who rarely completes in
tournaments. played steadily, though
on one occasion he saved himself by
sinking a 50-foot putt. That was after
he had got into trouble at the third,
or Alps, hole.
At the end Of the round it was found
that Lewis was tied with three others
at 90 for the last two places in the
first sixteen. In the pIsyoff Lewis was
eliminated.
