tai This witness Corroborated others
who had said that the highway was

Says Delay Loss TO Farmers.
j. Fred Bingham, representing the
DIRECTORS, based his arguments on the
contention that the highway had not
been constructed according 20 the
plans. Specifications and contracts. He
held that delay in the completion of
the road had meant loss 10 the farm
crs, who had found it necessary 10
carry their produce to Mishawaka via
the SpringbrOok road and other
roundabout ways. The Investigations
Of the DIRECTORS, he declared, had
proved that the gravel on the road
was in many places from five TO eight
inches less than the amount required
by the specifications. He maintained
that time would prove that the road
was not first class and was not worth
the price Of $4,000 a mile which the
taxpayers were paying for it.
Fred Woodward, in argument for
the contractor, based his arguments
on the proposition that the test of
specifications was in results. He
maintained that, to every intent and
purpose, every item Of the specifica-
tons had been lived up to and that
the spirit of the contract had been
fully lived up to- He held that the
directors were attempting TO work an
injustice on the contractor when they
tried to make him pay for delay in the
completion of the road which had
been caused by their inability to Sc
cure material. He charged that the
DIRECTORS had displayed an unfair spir-

MISSION PICNIC
is BIG SUCCESS
Sup't Bird Reports Everybody Re
turns From Michigan City
Full as a Tick"

Everybody returned from the first
annual Mission picnic full as a tick, ="
was the way in which Ray A. Bird,
superintendent of the Mission, ex-
pressed the time that the picnickers
had at Michigan City Tuesday There
were more than 200 people of the city
at the picnic and all had the time of
their lives, according to their reports
we'll known in Mishawaka for many
years and that this unfairness had
been particularly displayed by at
tempts 10 discredit the contractor
through letters in the newspapers.
Emphatic objection 10 this last
statement was made by counsel for the
DIRECTORS who held that there was no
reason to believe that there had been
an attempt to harm Mr.. Reed and his
sons. The issue, he maintained. had
been confined entirely TO the question
of the Perkins highway.

fielding average of 1888 Lewis made
one hundred and fifty-six base hits,
twenty-nine doubles, seven three bag
gers, two homers, sacrificed twenty
nine times and stole fourteen bases.
His batting average is .295.
Hooper the other member of the
outfield has fielding average of .974.
His contributions with the stick in
clude one hundred and thirty singles,
eighteen doubles, fourteen triples, two.
circuit wallops, and sixteen sacrifice
hits, batting average of .294. Besides
he pilfered bases seventeen times.
AS to the infield of three years ago.
Gardner and Wagner still remain bu.
the latter is not likely to be seen in
the coming series. Gardner at third
base, however, is well to the fore
among the hitters. Always dangerous
with the bat, he is first class fielder
with an average of 1923.
The Red Sox did not vnd them
selves as a league-leading combina-
ton until the accession of Barry. His
conversion from short stop to second
base was the deciding factor in Bos-
tons progress pennantward.
The coming of Barry resulted in an,
unusual alignment of keystone
combinations" AS preparation
against accidents, Manager Cardigan
has an interchangeable combination in
the infeld. Four short-stops are avail
able: Scott, who plays the position
regularly; Janvrin, his understudy:
Barry, who played a star game in tina:
position for so many years with the
Athletics, and Heinie Wagner. Red Sex
regular at short in the World Series OF
1912. The three latter men are avail
able also as finished second basemen,
and Janvrin and Barry can bring ex-
preience to relief of Gardner at thirS
base, if necessary. First base is pro-
tected by the reversible pair, Hoblitze,
and Gamer. Both are good fielders,
but Hoblitzel is stronger as a batter
against right hand pitchers, while
Gamer gets best batting results off the
delivery of lefthanders.

he had won his thirtieth game, a few
days ago, Alexander when asked what
he would do in the worlds series, re-
piled: "Just whatever Manager Mo-
ran tells me. I have been we'll sop

say they have saved me frequently.
Boston may boast of some great hitters
but l think we have some fence bust
ers on the Phillies who will equal the
Boston sluggers."
With Mayer, Demaree, McQuilien

staff, Manager Moran feels that he has

back up Alexander in attacking tIc

For the first time in the history OF
organized baseball, the world series
will be played in the same cities for
two consecutive seasons, although tie
teams engaged in the struggle are q
complete reversal from last years ba:-
tie. (Of course, all of this has tho
great IF, for we are specializing that
the Boston Red Soxs and the Philadel-
phia Nationals will cop the rag in their
respective classes.)
Barring the great unforeseen, the
playing mates of iris Speaker will re.
present the American League in the
approaching international festivities,
while the UNDERSTANDS of Moran will
submit to the task of upholding the Ma
tionals.
In the 1914 strife the Boston Braves
came under the wire with four straight
wins over the Philadelphia Americans,
while in 1915 the likelihood is that the
Boston Americans and the Phillie Ma
tionals will meet for the honors of the
world.
The Red Sox will use the new Braves
field in their engagements pitched n
Boston. Last year the Red Sox pre-
sented their field for the use OF Che
Braves. The diamond for the 1915
conflict has an arrangement for seat
ing 1880 persons, and it is planned
to erect temporary grandstand IN

10000 maniacs.

NEW YORK, Oct. Sin nearly ever?
series for the worlds baseball cham
pionship some player on each of tie
contending teams has been picked by
the fans as a tower of strength in some
department and in the minds eye OF
the baseball public, he stood head and
shoulders above his co-workers. This
years contest for the premier title OF
the diamond will prope no exception to
this accepted fact. In looking over the
list of eligibles for the coming battle
between the Philadelphia Nationals
and the Boston Red Sox, Alexander
and Speaker naturally are the first tc
strike the eyes of even the casual OBJ
server as the ones who may furnish the
star plays of the coming contest. Many
other players, however, on both sides
have shown remarkable aptitude to do
the right thing at the right time during
the long seasons grind. Quick think
ing and fast accurate action are the
essentials which make great baseball
players. While the two players men
toned have shown wonderful contrO4
and effectiveness in their positions a
great deal should be said about many
others who, while not so prominent
have been equally efficient in their pen

perts Manager Moran's feat Of making
a supposedly mediocre team pennanl

great a performance as that accom-
plished last year by George Stallings

FOR EAKLI
SPRING CABBAGE
T. H. Mediation, Prof. Hort, Georgia
State College OF Agriculture

For early spring cabbage the seed
should be sown not later than October
l. When the plants are three to four
weeks old transplant them Do this
again the following month if possible.
Set into the field from December on
for early spring heads.
In south Georgia it is customary to
plant several seed in the hill in the
open field in early October and thin
when the plants have started growth.
Generally speaking it is better, how
ever to transplant from seed beds.
