LOSE
GAME

BOSTON, Oct. I2.-Boston won
its third consecutive victory oves
Philadelphia today, but only after
the Phillies had given the ire
mendous holiday crowd terrific
scare in the eighth.
In this inning, the Phillies' ar
tillery, Luderus and Cravath,
came through in their regular
season style. The home-run star
tripled, and Luderus singled.
Dugey was put on to run for
Luderus, and he stole second.
~ But Whitfield was unequal TO
the emergency, and went out on
an easy roller to Shore.
Boston itself threatened trou-
BILE in the eighth, when Speaker
singled, Hoblitel followed suit,
and Lewis walked. But Gardner
hit into double play that nipped
Speaker at the plate.
Pitching Equal.
Shore and Chalmers pitched
nearly equally good games, the
former yielding seven hits, four
walks, and striking out four; and
the latter allowing eight hits,
three walks and striking ont
eight.
But as in yesterdays game,
Duffy Lewis came through with
the essential hit at just the right
moment, and the Red Sox won.

Chalmers and Shore were both
in the prime of condition when
the game opened. Each pitcher
struck out three of the heaviest
hitters on the opposing team in
the first two innings. The COLI
test started fast.
Two serious plays occurred in
the first inning. Barry dropped
Cady's peg on Bancrofts steal to
second, giving Boston it's first err
ror of the game.
Cravath bingled a fast one
down the third-base line, and
Bancroft raced home from second.
He safely crossed the plate be-
fore the ball returned.
= But the umpires, after holding
a consultation, decided that Cra-
vath's hit went an inch or two
outside the line. Philadelphia
players offered heated debate, but

turned to the plate and famed.
A walk, single, a sacrifice

Barry's walk was followed by
Cady's single. Shores sacrifice

Financing Maintenance Of Highways as
Important as Financing Construction.
We learned long ago about the ben
efits of good roads to farming cOmmu
mites. The states and the federal CT
flee of public roads have also taught
us to discriminate between clay roads,
gravel roads. rock roads, and all the
other kinds of roads. and the federal
office has made thorough study OF the
problems of road finance.
\ typical instance of mismanagement
that was brought to the attention Of
the office occurred in a southern state
where $4,000 was recently distributed
highway. After deductinS necessary
overhead expenses this sum was equiv
alent to about $500 a mile.
Obviously no permanent results
could be obtained from such distribu-
ton. In another county, where heavy
rains ard severe winters could not fail
to make the roads nearly impossible
with the superficial construction adopt
ed. bonds We're issued to the amount OF
$3O0.0G0. The money was devoted to
light grading on an excessive mileage,
without any attempt ut surfacing.
The use of public credit to develop
public wealth is the first argument fol-
highway bonds. 4 mile of road sus.
tanning 5000 tons of travel il yeal
would pay interest and retirement or
$1,000 in i per cent bonds if the cost
of hauling We're reduced about q
cents n ton mile.
Financing the maintenance of 4 roat
is just as important as financing it
construction. Failures of good roads
movements are often the direct result:
Of failures properly to provide for sys
tematic maintenance. 1t is undOubted

highway bonds are issued it should h'
