BILL MORGAN RESTED IN 3-CUSH|ON MATCH
Veteran Will Play Return Match With MaGill, Youth
 Who Turned the Trick

5 William Morgan, Alabama's champion billiard player, met his match last night when he lost hundred-point three-cush- ion tourney to w. T. MaGill. The final score was 100 to 91. MaGill is a compar- ative newcomer in the local billiard world being an empIoye of the Subway parlors, and his victory over the veteran caused wide comment last night.
 Following the match Morgan issued a challenge for a return play within the next 10 days, which MaGill accepted, and arrangements are now being made for their second meeting. This will probably attract a record gallery, $ several hum dred witnessed the match last night. h. terest in billiards in this city is unusually keen and there are a number of excel lent players here.
 Play on the Morgan-MaGil match started Tuesday night in Harris & Wright's parlors at 1921h Second avenue, and resulted in a score or 30 to 33 for MaGill in SS innings. Both men played brilliantly, but Morgan was out of luck, missing any number of beautiful shots by a hair. Last night the play was at the Subway and Morgan scored 5S to his oppo- nent's 50 but was unable to overcome the heavy lead of the previous night Last nights play was in S3 innings. High runs were: Magill 6, Morgan 5.
 G. c. Bruner refereed the match.

THINK NEW V|ADUCT
 WILL BE ERECTED WITHIN NEXT YEAR
Commissioners Confident Railroads Will Cooper ate In Building 21st St.
 Structure
A new viaduct on Twenty-fr street

A new viaduct on Twenty first street is proposed by city commissioners.
 This was the sentiment of com mission conference yesterday afternoon i'll which it was unanimously decided that Commissioners Weatherly and Truss and City Engineer Julian Ken drick proceed in the furtherance of their efforts to make the railroads tear down the present structure on Twenty hrst street and replace it at their own expense with one ot reinforced con- crete and in accordance with the plans drawn by the city.
 The new proposed viaduct is esti- mated will cost about S15O0O0. and Commissioner Weatherly stated in con- terence yesterday afternoon that he expected that at this time next year it would be completed
 But I thought it would take at least two years of negotiations with the railroads before actual construction would begin, commented Commission CT Truss.
 T do not anticipate any trouble from the railroads" said Commissioner Weatherly, "and by this time next year there will be a beautiful concrete via duct on Twenty first street."
 T believe Weatherly and viaduct are synonymous terms" commented Con- i.-'9NASiiNi the entire project providing the rail- roads bear the entire burden of the cost. l believe that the railroads will derive enough benefits from the via duct that they should pay for it.''
 Both Commissioners Ward and Hor- nady were heartily in favor of the new viaduct and upon suggestion from President Ward, the entire matter was left in the hands of Commissioners Weatheily and Truss with the power to act As the work progresses, how ever the board will be kept advised
 The new proposed viaduct will be elevated about nine feet higher than the present structure. This elevation is called for by the plans of the city which contemplates at some future date an underpass on Eighteenth and Twentieth streets. While the railroads are expected to demur on the increased elevation Commissioner Weatherly feels confident that everything will be adjusted amicably and that actual construction, on the new viaduct is now a mattGS of but few months.
 Commissioners Weatherly and Truss will now seek conference with the engineers of the railroads, who will be advised on the decision of the city commission. This conference is ex- pected to take place within the next 10 days.

 The question of the form of macadam or paving to be used in the event that the construction of one or the other of the above described routes is de- cided upon, is one which, for stated reasons, does not call for immediate consideration.
 Either a brick or a concrete road or some equivalent form of paving will be possibly necessary if the tonnage ex- pectancy Of the road is even in rea- sonable degree assured or realized
 Chert, which has been heretofore the best and principal available low cost material for macadamizing purposes and very generally therefore used in this county. would be here less economic for the reason that the available sources of chert are remote from the sections where it will be required, and the cost of railroad transportation, together with long haul from the nearest railroad delivery points. will largely increase its cost Whether it will compare favor ably with the cost of high class paving upon any 20-year. or ever 1O-year. basis of construction and maintenance, aside from the apparent advantages in favor of the more permanent class of paving. will require to be investigated and proved.

VACATION DAYS

Let 8 leave our troubles all behind,
Our ills and woes with all their kind;
And armed with gun and fishing gear,
Enjoy our life,
With child and wife,
Now that vacation days are here.
o, happy days, we we waited long.
To greet you with our shouts and song;
We're ready for this brief respite,
From toll and care,
That wear and tear,
And harass us by day and night.
And so amid the stately trees,
The running brook and mountain breeze
With birds to sing and shady hooks,
Well rest our brain,
And health regain,
And chase away our tired looks.
Then, when vacation days are DER,
And we return to desk or store,
Renewed in strength, III bra,eiy sacs
Our duties all,
Both great and small,
Until we win life's final race.
