TINKER TO TRY NEW PLAYERS
ON NORTH SIDE
BY Mark Shields

From now until the end OF the play
ing season on the North Side we can
expect a procession of ambitious
youngsters seeking to make good in
the national -pastime as displayed in
the more or less major league.
Manager Tinker has arrived at the
conclusion that some Of the material
he now has is not capable Of stand
ing the gaff. He needs at least one
more infielder, a guardian for second
base. And it is barely possible that
three new men could be used for the
inner defense.
Manager Joe is dissatisfied with
the department of Heinie thinner
man and would not be averse to a
deal that would give him a new
guardian for the difficult corner, a
man who would play with interest
in the game and for the good of the
team. Workman has still to solidify
himself in the shortston position and
is doing so.
Safer has not been a star at first
base.
FIack, Mann, Williams and Kelly
are gOOQ ~OuJnelQerS, out anOCn6f
garden guardian is needed, prefer
ably fellow who bats right-handed
and can hit the pitching of either
paw.
No new pitchers are needed. The
present staff has performed capably.
It made a late start, mainly due to
the cool weather encountered on the
North Side grounds early in the sea-
son. But since the sun warmed
things up the hurlers have been as
staid and effective as any staff in the
league, not barring Brooklyn and
Boston.
Pitchers Pete Standridge and
George label have been recalled by
the Cubs from Los Angeles. They
will not report until spring. Out
fielder Sam Mayer and Pitcher Scott

are the guys who put the age in
courage.
Nothing is impossible these days
for the baseball scouts. They only
had to dig about IL feet in order to
exhume Artie Holman and Bobby

Miller Higgins has acquired Short

Mebbe this bird will live down his

bawl trick from the bench.
Yes, MoIIa BjUrstedt possesses a
weakness in playing doubles. It's her

fans claimed the referee counted

the reason that the officers on duty at

the plan of recruiting after our troops
were ordered into mobilization camp

should be done under the officers OF

find out whether men reporting to be

persuaded to enlist in the regular

whether they would be recruited
wholly and solely for service in the
national guard. I have just received
statement from the commanding gem

REAL ROAD GRADING
Tama County Completes Improvement
Of Highway Along River Bottom
Bids For Work Too High and County
Handles Job With Day Labor.

Special to Times Republican.
Tama, July 1o.-Supervisor Fred In
gram has just completed as fine piece
of road. grading, mile and half long,
across the bottom just west of the
river bridge on the Lincoln Highway
west of Tama, as will be found any
where in the state. Blythe Bros, rail-
road contractors Of Tama, did the work
by the day after Mr.. Ingram had tried
to set bids on the job and he was salts
fed that the county could save money
by doing it themselves. The, lowest bid
he could get was II cents yard. which
would have made the cost over $1,000
per mile. but the actual cost was about
5000 per mile.
This shows that Mr.. Ingrams judy
ment was good and it also shows how
unfortunate the county is that the dem
ocrats failed to renominate him at the
primary. AS soon as another rain comes
so that the top can be smoothed up,
here will be the finest speedway for
many miles. This correspondent is
willing to start fund with which to
oil this stretch of road in order to dem
onstrate the cost, wear and expense of
oiled roads when applied on a perfectly
rounded grade with proper drainage ~
there is in this place
Goth Mr.. Ingram and Blythe Bros.
are justly proud OF this example OF
road making and it is worth other road
makers time to drive over to inspect
it,
