The Griffmen. minus the services OF
First Baseman Joe Judge and Second
Sacker Ray Morgan. with a catcher play
ing first base. pitcher in right field. an
outfielder on third base and a third base
man shifted over to second, have won
eight out Of the last eleven games played,
taking Cleveland into camp four out
of five and grabbing four out OF six
from the White Sox.
When everything is considered. this
showing is remarkable one and augurs
we'll for the Nationals, who embark to-
day on a second Western trip.
Chicago and Cleveland are considered
by the majority OF American League
managers the toughest clubs in the West
to beat yet the Griffmen with a patched
up outfit had little trouble showing up
these teams in every department of the
game
Leaving for Detroit on the 7:15 express
the road until August l6, playing twenty
one games.
Next Tuesday the Grirmen open a four
game series against the Jungaleers. going
to Cleveland Saturday, July o. for FIVE
games In four days. as one postponed
game remains TO be played. necessitat-
ing a double-header. On Thursday
August 3, a four-game series will be
started In Chicago. the club going from
the Windy City to st. Louis for five
games in four days starting Monday,
August I, another double-header being
scheduled with this team. From ST.
Louis the Nationals take a long, tire
some train ride to Boston, arriving in
the Hub City Saturday, August II, for
three games.
Much depends upon what sort of a
showing the Nationals make during the
Wesern whirl The last trip It will be
remembered, was a disastrous one, but
the Old Fox is confident his charges will
make amends and looks for something
better than an even break.
When the Nationals left home for their
first road trip they were leading the
league. Today they are at the bottom OF
the first division, but only a few games
away from the leaders.
With the exception OF the Detroit
Tigers, the Nationals do not look for a
whole lot of trouble. The Tigers have
been able to win consistently from Wash
ington this season, and Griff has reason
to fear them.
The entire squad of players. except
Turney Barber and Horace Milan, will be
course, is still in the hospital, but the
other cripples. Ray Morgan and Rippy
Williams. are about rid of their ailments
and could play any day.
Griffith expects to start Morgan against
Detroit on Tuesday. which means that
Shanks will go back to left field and Fos-
ter to third base.
Rippy Williams will warm the bench
and for the present be used as a pinch
hitter. Ed Charity seems to be doing
fairly we'll on the initial sack, and, in ad-
dition, is hitting the ball Unless Char
rity should suddenly develop a batting
slump. Griffith would be foolish to make
any change.
Sam Rice, Of course. is fixture In right
field. Rice has demonstrated that he can
wallop the ball, and that qualities him for
the job.
The young Cuban ball player, who has
been setting the Virginia League on fire
with his slugging. and who was tipped off
to Griffith. was passed up by the Old Fox
after Nick Altrock had taken a look at
him.

Congress to Consider Roads
Proposition for Federal Government to Build and Main
tain Entirely Certain Highways, Relieving Coun-
ties of Part of Their Present Burdens

bates upon good roads measures
which have. recently occurred in
Congress. In the debate upon
the Bankhead bill, Senator Geo.
W. Norris, of Nebraska, said:
i think the contribution of the
Federal Government ought not
to go to all.of the roads in the
country. 1t ought to be confined
to a system of interstate high
ways"
This idea of restricting the
Federal participation in highway
construction to a system of main
interstate trunk lines to be locat-
ed by an expert survey is now
supported by the Representatives
OF many States and many Con-
gressional districts. The opinion
is growing that in this way such
federal funds as are devoted to
good roads construction will be
spent toward a definite object,
the highest economic results will
be realized and the movement
will be saved from condemnation
by the public on the ground that
it is pork" legislation.

10 congress OF a preliminar
plan for a system of nations
highways by the corps of eng
neers of the army is made in
joint bill now pending before tn
Senate and House committees O,
military affairs. The bill wa
introduced in the Senate by Sen
ator John A. Shields, of ,Tennes
see, and in the House by Repre-
sentative John H. Small, of Nortl
Carolina.
In particular this bill embodie.
the principle of having conducted
a scientific investigation and sur
vey of the highway routes upor
which federal funds are to be ex
pended before the work of con.
struction is begun. 1t seeks, il
is said, to prevent the hit or miss
building of roads by the Federal
Government which are located,
not by expert surveys, but by
local political infuence-roads
which begin anywhere within a
State and end nowhere in par
ticular. The danger of having
federal funds for good roads ex-
pended in such fashion has al
ready caused the dangerous cry
Of pork" to be raised in Con-
gress whep the good roads ap-
preparation bills were under dis
cussion.
Under the terms of the Shields
Small bill, the Federal Govern
ment would devote its funds and
energies solely to the construc-
ton of main or trunk line high
way units connecting and corre-
lating the highway systems with
in the States. Instead of pro-
viding funds to pay a part of the
States bills on State roads, the
Federal Government would take
over, to build and maintain en-
tirely, certain of the principal
highways. That would relieve
the States of a considerable part
of their present burden and
would allow them to devote more
money to the building of more
miles of good roads radiating
from the Federal highways.
Counties would then build good
roads radiating from the State
highways, while townships or in
dividuals would build good roads
feeding the county highways.
Thus the entire country would be
woven together by a network of
each system feeding
The other, as is done by the rail-
ways.
The Shields-Small bill was
lrawn by Mr.. Cyrus Kehr, of
Knoxville. Tenn, a member of
he National Highways Associa-
ion, in cooperation with Sena-
or Shields and Representative
small, and engineer officers on
luty at the War Department.
t has been approved by the War !
Department. While the bill en- ,
'odies two of the principles for !
which the National Highways !
association has contended in its '
,ood roads campaign, it is not :
PARTICULARLY supported by the as n
ociation which thus far has lent a
IS support to principles only and !
OF to any particular piece of $
sgislation. y
That this effort to have Con-
ress provide a preliminary high z
ray plan prepared according to =
ecognized principles of engineer Il
,g and to provide for Federal
lterstate highways before Fed '
raj funds are spent, marks the
'end of sentiment upon this SUBJ 4
ect here is indicated in the de- :.
