RED SOX NO GREAT CLUB ON IN
PAPER, BUT ON THE DIAMOND
HAVE PROVED TO BE SUPREME
By GRANTLAND RICE

T,oR two years in succession the Red sox
II have beaten the Tigers and White sox
every important series played, both in the
East and I'm the West.
Last season IL was easy enough TO under-
stand this margin with IRIS Speaker lead
ing both attack and defense. But this sea-
son. even without Speaker, the Boston dele
CATION kept up the merry job of crushing
their two main rivals whenever they
cared to.
on this last trip Carrlgan not only had
no Speaker. but Jack Barry was missing
from second base. Yet the Red Sox, even
with Speaker and Barry, never did more
effective execution against their two main
rivals. They proved that with patched
up machine they still could invade the
enemy's country and whale the eternal pad
ding out Of the two clubs with chance
left to win.
A ball club that can rise to these heights
isn't very likely 20 be beaten In n worlds
series by, any team the older league has ia
offer. ON copy paper the Red sox are no
great comblnation. But on the ball Held
where most games are played, they are
stars.

HARDIN COUNTY, GRAvE;L LACK,
ING IN QUALITY FOR GOOD
sURFAclNG. "
STATE HIGHWAY ENGINEER
MAKES uNFAVoRAHLE REPORT
Too Fine For Substantial Base For
Top Drsssins Advises importation
of Gravel For First Three inches Of
surfaeirsc Cost Increased and SUI
psrvisors Delay Plans. u,

Eldora, April 14.-The work Of sur
facing the county roads as planned by
the board Of supervisors may be slight
~ delayed, say the members of the
board, by reason Of a question which
has arisen as to the quality Of Hardin
county gravel for surfacing purposes.
It may be necessary tostmport coarser
gravel, or, .'ruble," to form a salts
& factory base for the additional material
which will be used. q, Pa. Z E&i
The board has made good progress
In plans for beginning work on the
tairty miles OF the county system
which it was intended to drain, grade
and gravel, in accordance with the wish
of the county taxpayers, as expressed
In the mass meeting held in January.
Estimates had been made Of the cost
of the material and the labor, and the
plaEs were submitted to the state
highway commission for their approval
The state officials sent one of their
engineers to inspect the Hardin county
gravel which the county board pro-
posed to use, and he visited the six
gravel pits owned by the county and
also several other local sources of sup
ply. His report, following his examin-
alton, was to the effect that, while the
Hardin county gravel was Of excellent
quality for surfacing, it was not coarse
enough for the base Of the surfacing.
He advised the importation of coarser
material for the first three inches of
the nine inches which the board pro-
posed to use. His position is that if
the. board intends to bond the county
Tor twenty years 1t must do such work
as may reasonably be expected to sur
viye that period of time. and he does
not believe that surfacing composed
wholly Of the gravel found in this
county will give such lasting service.
1t now seems to be necessary for the
