The transcontinental auto tour is
becoming a thing more common every
day. Down in the sleepy by-roads of
the South. out among the sheep and
cattle herds of the West; through
the wind-swept passes of the northern
Rockies, and in the Painted Desert of
Arizona the muddy touring car from
the Far East is seen a score of times a
day. The old Santa Fe trail, which in
memories of the prairie schooner and
the buckskin- clad frontiersmen, is now
a principal auto highway, over which
passes a steady procession of cars.
You can make the trip from coast to
coast in any kind of q car in less than
q month.
There are five principal highways
running east and west from the Allan
tic to the Pacific, in every latitude
from the Gulf and the Mexican bor-
der to the Canadian line. They are
bound together by three main north
and-south routes, as Well as by q
legion of local roads. The eight prin-
eipal highways are equipped to handle
auto travel; many cars each day pass
every point on every road, and hotel
and garage accommodations are pro-
vided accordingly.
Northernmost of the transcontin-
entail trails is the National Parks
Highway which leaves the Atlantic at
Plymouth, Mass, swings through Bos-
ton and Chicago westward, holding
well to the north, sends southwark
loop to the Yellowstone and a north
ward branch to Glacier Park. and
drops down the west slope of the
Rockies to end in Seattle and Tacoma.
The National Parks trail is a favorite
summer route.

answer to questions whether the force
of his administration was to be thrown
into contest for national delegates
from Pennsylvania with the idea of
unhorsing Senator Penrose as leader
that he did not intend to "imperil my
administration by mixing in State or
national politics"
While the Democratic Philadelphia
Record doubted whether this state
ment would hold throughout the win
ter and Spring it was accepted as con-
elusive that there would be no partici-
patton by the Smith administration in
State politics by the Philadelphia
Press, Ledger and Inquirer and Some
people in Philadelphia and. this city
to-day declared that it meant no fac
tional fight such as Democrats and
independents have been striving to
provoke. MIR. Smith made the state
ment after an interview with Senator
Penrose.

PEAHE An | -
PEACE PLAN

Prominent carpenters predicted to-
day that the district council of car
penters will agree to submit the peace
offering of the contractors to the men
for vote The district council meets
tomorrow night. Quick action on
vote is expected.
Most carpenters seem of the opin-
ion that the men will reject the offer,
which is identical to that refused by
the district council before the strike \
was called. The contractors simply
decided to renew its previous offer of
an increase of 21a cents an hour for
the last half of 3-year contract,
providing the men would work the
first Is months at no increase in the
present rate of IS cents an hour.
The carpenters have asked an i'm
mediate increase to 70 cents, to be |
followed by an increase in two years |
to rs cents.
Regardless of whether the offer of |
the Carpenter Contractors assn is |
accepted or rejected, it is of value in
showing that the association has con-
descended to come down off its high |
horse. A week ago 1t would have be-
come indignant if the suggestion of |
such a cofpromise had been made to
it. Mayor Thompson is getting
credit for inducing the contractors to
renew their offer.

IN THE NINE GAMES PLAYED
Williams Continues the Leader, With .423
Percentage, Picking Up % Points in Past
Week-Foster Gets Going and Ad-
vances 81 Points-Gandil and
Rondeau Start Well.

The Nationals averages. including Sat
urday's game, show that "Rippey" Will
liams still holds the leadership with the
bat, going up from 400 week ago TO
.423. which is certainly hitting strongly
when the percentage is considered Eddie
Foster also found his batting eye during
the past week and showed himself into
the aristocratic 300 class by jumping
up thirty-one points. Milan also
showed himself along splendidly, but
is yet somewhat short of his real place
among the hitters. The good start
made by Gandil and Rondeau is very
gratifying and although not up to their
real batting form. the chances are that
both will soon find themselves

| BY their defeat at New York yester-
day the Nationals are now at the .o0O
per cent mark in the league race.
The team has won and lost five games
It's showing in the last two New York
games was far below the form 1t was
expected to show. both in hitting and
pitching, and there will have to be a
material brace-up before there Is any
hope of the Nationals being prom
inent in the present race. Playing such
| as has been done to date is far below
the teams standard. however, and for
ward strides may be looked for hence
forth.
Today the Nationals open a four
game series with the Athletics, and
these games will be of considerable i'm
portance because they precede one of
the longest trips of the season for
| the Nationals, and much will depend
upon what sort of position the team is
in when 1t leaves here. Mack's team is
not as strong as 1t used to be. but for
all that the Griffmen will have to show
better form than they have if they ex-
pect to win a majority of the games
from the former champions.

career. He was hit numerically hard,
and besides was wild and did not ap-

been five days since he pitched, and he
showed plainly that the long rest did

shown by the fact that the most dam

Both GandIl and Morgan went to the

In the eighth inning Gandil gave

Gandil was none the worse for his ex-

game.
Umpire Mullaney erred in the fifth

crowd saw that an injustice had been
done and let Mullaney know about it.
If all the umpires in the league are as
strict in the enforcement Of the balk
rule as Is Bill Evans there should be
more base running this year than ever
before. In the ten games Bill has UNI
pired for the Nationals to date he has
called three balks. One on Shaw and
two on Boehling. Yesterday Boehling
seemed to catch Maisel off Of first base
in the eighth, and he was easily thrown
out at second. but Evans declared 1t a
balk and Maisel held the bag. Evans
undoubtedly Is following instructions
in making these rulings. which are in
tended to put stop to the practice of
the pitchers giving false motions which
deceive the base runners. but 1t is
good guess that none of the other UNI
pires as strict about it as he is.
