bell Manager Rowland is using a
lineup with which he will unques-
tiOnably start the season. It is the
best he has in the locker and only
needs to be perfected in teamwork.
Terry has never played with Eddie
Collins, and Weaver is out of his
regular position, so a few mistakes
in mechanical execution can be for
given when the team starts the sea-
son. It is very good infield in three
positions, with Fourier being the
only fellow behind in defense. Jack
is courageous, confident to the point
of egotism, and willing to work his
head off in order to become a leading
light in such company.
That means a whole lot. The
Frenchman has improved greatly
since he first became a member Of
the club and it is reasonable to be-
Iieve he can further advance HIM
self by application. Jack isn't bril-
liant, his mind isn't that of Collins,
but he likes to win and he loves to
hit. Jack goes up to the plate each
time with the belief that he is going
to knock a home run, and each time
he fails takes it as a personal affront
from the opposing pitcher. That

Trip to Leonardtown Shows Them
Superiority of the Highways
in Maryland.

A good roads movement for the Dis
trict is 20 be launched Immediately by
the Retail Merchants Association as a
result OF its booster trip TO Leonard
town, Md, Tuesday.
Impressed by the interiorty of the
District roads as compared with the
Maryland arteries with which they con-
meet, the association, it was announced
today, will go to Congress Immediately
upon its reconvening and ask an APP
preparation for Improving these high
ways.
AS a first step in this direction,
Charles J. Columbus, secretary of the
association, this morning called on En-
gineer Commissioner kutZ and re-
quested that Improvement of Naylor
road between Good Hope and the Dis
trict line be commenced without delay.
This road is a part of the line to Leon
ardtown and is much in need of repair.
Col. kutz stated that contract already
has been let for the grading and ma
cadmiZing of Naylor road and that work
viii be begun as soon as the heaviest
part of the fall traffic is over.
I'VE did not have to be advised that
we had arrived in the District when we
struck the Naylor road returning from
Leonardtown,' said Mr.. Columbus. Our
Maryland friends have appealed to us and
we are going to act. We are going to ask
ing Washington from state highways. 1t
not only is in the interest Of the citizens
of the District and of Maryland, but of
the entire country, for thousands come
to Washington annually over these high
ways.

Choice Made on Merit.

The successful candidate was chosen
from many applicants for the position.
His appointment is based on scholar
ship standing, military record, general
ability, initiative and other similar fac
tors as recorded during his high school
life.
In choosing officers for the two regi-
nentS this year the qualifications con-
sidered are much broader in scope than
heretofore. This is in line with a gem
eral policy which is being pursued I'M
der the supervision of Mr.. Kramer.
which is making the cadet work one
which is truly military, and which
forms a progressive study in its nature.
Several years ago the work of the
cadets was limited to learning drill
regulations and tactics. Now the work
is greatly enlarged and is more broad
ly military. Field work is taken up,
rifle practice carried on and military
science studied.
Although scholarship in studies is
still a great factor, other character
istics of candidates for positions as
officers play a more important part
than heretofore.
