Griffs batters may not be leading
the circuit, but there are several
Grifmen who have made great indi-
vidual records in the games played
this year.
Few times in a batsman's career
does he hit safely in FIVE trips to the
plate. As a matter Of record the
trick has been turned FIVE times
this year and yet both Milan and
Rice can be counted in that class.
And among those who can be num-
bered among the four out Of four eiass

POOR THROWING ARM
BENCHES OUTFELDER

With Armando Marsans, the Cuban
outnelder. now on his payroll. Wild
Bill Donovan has yanked Tim Hen
dryx. the former Richmond outhelder.
from center and sent the neet former
Federal Lacquer to that garden.
1t seems that Tim, who was quite
a sensation in New York for a while.
could not cut the ball loose, and run
ners were not only scoring from sec
ond on all singles to center, but were
taking extra bases on him as well.
or course. no big league manager will
put up with that. A good arm Is alb
solutely necessary In the majors to
stop the speedy baserunners. In the
minors a good hitter and fielder may
get by, but the sturdy old whip Is
needed in the big show.
Donovan is positive that harsans
will add much strength to the out
field. He can cover as much ground
as any player in the game. and has
a great throwing arm, excelling Hen
dryx and other Yankee outfielders in
both respects.
On the bases he can outrun any of
Donovan's fly chasers. anu his is an
other factor which will go far to
keep him in the game. His hitting
with the Browns this season has been
weak, but surely no weaker than the
New York outfield has averaged with
the stick. so the change sizes up as
benehcial to the club from every
angle. With High, Marsans. and Mil
Ter on the outfeld patrol the defen-
sive work should compare favorably
with that Of any outheld in the
league.
The Cuban contends that he simply
got away to a poor start this season,
and that before he was able to hit his
real stride the work OF Sloan and ia
cobson had resulted In his being as
signed to the bench.

the same position, having won out
over his opponents by a handsome
aiority. During the last cam
paign he stood for the office Of
Secretary Of State and was de
'cated by James J. Bailey. and
since has resided at Baton Rouge.
Deceased has considerable valu-

that they are adopted and have a

mean a life Of idIcncys. Some

as pretentlouS as ours, have built
roads outside Of their limits, Whic h
afterwards was carried along by
the Police JuricS through the
Parishes and the same thing would
! be done by our Parish Fathers
were We to take the lead in these
matters. As direct consequence
Of the oil field the Police jury
Will be in position to get sufficient
taxes to carry on this work, and
every dollar collected on the pro-
ducts Of this OIL field should be
devoted exclusively towards
gravel roads. Good highways
are thousand fold better for a
City than railroads at any time
and it is time now that all our
thoughts be concentrated with
that object in view. Good roads
enhance the farm property for
the reason that instead Of 1t TAX
inc several hours to ride ten miles,
it will be only a question OF few
minutes and then the farmer can
haul his produce to town with but
little wear and tear to his vehicles
and return to his farm work with
out any hardship. The thought
that should be foremost in every
farmers mind should be that 1918
will find the front Of his farm
with a good well drained gravel
road. It means money to INN,
the saving of wear and tear to-
his teams when he has to travel
long distance to transact business.
II means that while his property
today has but little value due to
poor and inefficient roads they
would double in value at once II /
access to them would be 'ette'.
Some MIGHT say. well my lands .
are not for sale and use that as
an excuse not to interest the'1- +
selves i'm making their lands OF
,asv access by building good
roads. They should bear I'M
mind that whenever they want
TO make loan Of a few thousand
ON their property, the money lend
or first takes into account the To-
.ation of the property before they .
wen consider making any kind of
1 loan. If the property has no
rood road leading mp to- it
he value is practically lost
md that Of itself often stands
n the way of business transac-
ion. In this respect every Ward
should have a good roads organ
cation made up Of the best cltl-
ems in the Ward and not only
ak better roads-but urge your
Police Jury representative that
on want his efforts to assist You
n this laudable work. The fact {
hat Iberia Parish owes hun {
Ired or more thousand of dollars {
hould not be an impediment to
tain good roads. Every parish
n the State almost Is ISSUING {
,onds for as much as Two Hun
Ircd Thousand Dollars for the !
building of highways because /
hey know what it means to the
property holders. The only way q
