GOOD BREAKS IN BASEBALL
II Made TO Order They Could Not
Have Eventuatsd to Better Ad-
vantage in American League.

One of the most satisfactory seasons
known to baseball, considering the try
ing conditions under which it is being
played, IS now being rounded out in
the American Baseball league. says a
writer in the Detroit News
If the breaks" had been made to
order they couldn't have eventuated
to better financial advantage, in view
of the fact that disastrous baseball
war is on and troubles over baseball
players have made the high cost of
champions still higher.
Perhaps the most remarkable good
break is the manner in which every
club, with the exception of the Maps,
has taken its turn at squirting, thereby
keeping alive local interest-and the
box office.
By turns Detroit, Washington, Chi
cage, St. Louis, Boston, Philadelphia,
and now New York, enjoyed little
furry of success. The poor Maps
have yet to take their dash and, it
it feared, their case is too dead for
even an eNeventh-hour excitement to
attract much financial attention around
the circuit.
The Chicago Sox's squirt came at a
time when the Chifeds threatened to
grab the town popularity. The Browns
good showing began early, when fail
ure might have given the Feds a
chance to seat themselves firmly in
the hearts of local fans, had they
owned a real club. The Feds failed,
which was another nice break for the
big league.
The Athletics did not show too
strongly early in the game, thereby
saving the slim attendances which a
runaway race might have caused.
Walter Johnson's weakening kept
the senators from going too far to the
front at critical time. Altogether, it
appears to have been an act-of-Provi-
dence sort of year in both leagues,
too.

Catcher Bill Rariden of indianapolis Feds

If there ever were two ball players
in the world who have legitimate ex-
cuse for kicking themselves all over
a ball lot, Vim Campbell and Bill Rari-
den, outfielder and catcher respective
ly on the Indianapolis Federal league
baseball club, are the ones.
These two athletes-both stars-last
year were the property of the Boston
National league clubs. Campbell didn't
play in 1918, having quit the national
pastime in huff the season previous,
but he still belonged to the Braves and
at the beginning of this season he was
importuned by George Stallings, the
Braves manager, to join the club.
Rariden, though, caught the majority
of Boston's games and was ranked as
one of the classiest receivers in the

ROAD
BUILDING
ROADS AS CROP PRODUCERS
Government Studies Show How AsrL
cultural Outlook Of Country De-
ponds Upon Its Highways.

That an improved road win increase
vastly the productiveness Of the area
through which 1t runs has now been
satisfactorily demonstrated by studies
conducted by the United States depart
ment Of agriculture in Virginia. Con-
ditions In Spotsylvania county were In
vesdgated with particular care, and
the results have proved surprising In
1909 the county voted 100000 to I'M
prove 40 miles of roads. Two years
after the completion of this work the
railroad took away in - months from
Fredericksburg, the county seat, IL
900 tons of agricultural and forest
products hauled over the highways to
that town. Before the improvement
of the roads this total was only $4,000
tons annually; in other words the
quantity of the county's produce had
risen more than As per cent. Stn
more interesting, however is the in
crease shown in the quantity of the
dairy products In 1909 these amount
ed to 114,S15 pounds, in 1911 to $780,
02S pounds, an increase of practically
1fU per cent III TWO years. III lho
same time shipments of wheat had in
creased SO per cent, tobacco 81 per
cent and lumber and other forest prod
ucts As per cent.
In addition to this increase In guam
tity the cost OF hauling each ton OF
produce was materially reduced. In
other words the farmers not only pro-
duce more but produce more cheaply,
for the cost of transportation to mar
ket is, of course, an important factor
in the cost of production. From this
point of view it is estimated that the
100000 spent in improving the roads
in Spotsylyania county saved the farm
ers of that county $4,000 year.
In the past two years the traffic
studies of the federal experts show
that approximately an average of 65,-
900 tons of outgoing products were
hauled over the improved roads in the
county, an average distance of eight
miles, or total of 100000 ton
miles" Before the roads were i'm
proved 1t was estimated that the aver
age cost of hauling was 20 cents a
"ton-mile;" after the improvement this

fell to IL cents "ton-mile," or saw
ing of eight cents. A saving of eight
cents per mile on $4,000 "ton-miles"
is $4,000 a year. The county's In
vestment of 100000 in other words.
returns a dividend of 40 per cent an
nually.
Because this saving, in cases of this
character, does not take the form OF
cash put directly into the farmers
pockets, there is a widespread ten
dency to believe that it is fictitious
profit, while as a matter of fact it Is
just as well source of profit as the
increase in the price of wheat
In Dinwiddie county, Virginia, for
example, where peanuts is one of the
staple crops, the average load for two
mules on a main road was about one
thousand pounds before the road was
improved After its improvement the
average load was found to be 1900
pounds, and the time consumed in
hauling the larger load to market was
much reduced. In other words, one
man with a wagon and two mules
could do more than twice as much
work with the improved road than
with an unimproved road. This is
the explanation of the extraordinary
rise in the total output of agricul-
tural products in county with a good
road system
