 All season long the box scores show th,t the White Sox have won many, many of their games with two and even htree pitchers working for them. / t has been a subject for jokesters to pint to the two half-pitchers Row land has in Danforth and Williams. Each half is good, but alone counts | for but little.
 It has come to be a habit with Row land to start Williams in a game, let | him go until he shows the first signs ! of widness or tiring, and then yell for Dave Danforth, who goes in and usually finishes up a good ball game, as often as not on the right side of the average column This kind of strat- l egy has given Williams a large num- Der of wins, for, if his team is leading when he leaves the pitching box, he gets the credit for the victory if one results Likewise, he is not charged with defeat if that if the way it turns out
 Williams and Dauforth have worked this practically all season, and many tines have been called on to help Reb Russell, Jim Scott or Joe Benz out of the same kind of a hole. The half pitcher method of winning has crown Cd Clarence Rowland with a new kind Of fhgenuity crown.

The new road from Crested Butte

range toward Somerset is attract
ing many motorists who can 60
down to where the county road outfit

ting close to the Horse ranch. Once

up rapidly since the route around Mt
Marcellera is thrR a rolling, scrub
oak region like the portion of Blue
mesa between the Half Way house
and Cimarron.
Those who have tried the new road
say it is going to be a dandy with
very beautiful scenery as well as
making q short cut to Somerset, Pa.
onia and the entire North Fork. II
may even prove q rival to the Blue
mesa rpad from Gunnison to Western
Colorado, altho the distance is q few
miles greater to Delta, probably about
the same as the Black mesa route ia
both Hotchkiss and Delta.
