letic director Of the FL Paso military
district and manager OF the Fort Bliss

The defeat Of the Columbus
team, 81, was largely due to the
phenomenal work OF Splitter
Williams, who began well, grew
better and was going at his best
in the tenth inning. Tanning 10
infantry bRtsmeu, he allowed only
three hits during the ten innings
Williams proved his real mettIe in
the long contest by splendid nerve,
Judgment and increasing steam.
An extraordinary feature OF Sun

Until the tenth inning the contest
was one OF the fastest and most fan
gripping ever staged on the Fort
Bliss diamond. During the first four
innings both teams presented an air
tight front In the fifth the All

support Just lacked one error OF be-

Todenhoff proved the all-round
sensation OF the day. Besides out
pitching his opponent, Scott, the
husky division player was responsible
for three hits out OF seven scored by
his team and he figured in every
score made by the Blissers. In the
big first he brought Howard and Nc
Nelly home with a three Dagger and
made the other tally Of the first him
self, scoring on a wild throw. The
only other score made by the Bliss
team during the game was due to a
ripping swat by 'TOdy" which scored
McNeely and would have been good
for a round trip by the swatter only

Saturdays game was snatched by the
infantrymen in the ninth. The Bliss
players started out by pounding out
three runs in the first inning and
adding one to 1t in the eighth. With
the score - at the end of the eighth
it looked like the All Stars had the
game nicely sewed up, and so they did
until first baseman Raymond began
to unravel the stitches by singing
nicely in the first half OF the ninth.
1t would not be far amiss TO say
that RnymOnd's rap won the game
for it stiffened up the lnEEing
infantrymen and Thomas, follow
ing Raymond and batting for VIII
liHms, promptly swutted the
sphere Just over the second
bnseman's head so that Nc
Nicely, after n long run, was una
bic TO hold the bail.
With Raymond advanced 20 second
and Thomas roosting safely on first,
Worrell shot out a stiff one through
Gilreath's defences, scoring the two
and reaching third A single by York
settled the argument, 81, with the
infantrymen leading.

Time to Consider the Good
Of Road Building Men
Available Can be
Used Now
Men Released from Military
Service Would Not OBJ
ject to Being
Employed

The release of labor and materi-
al incident to the rehabilitation of
our army and the slowing down Of
the manufacture of war supplies,
offers a golden opportunity for
program of road building more ex-
tensive than any in which the coun-
try has ever engaged. Not only
must we make good the neglect which
our roads have suffered during the
period when road construction has
been officially frowned upon, but we
must go further and bring our entire
road system up to the standard Of
the far-famed roads of France.
While we often hear of the tre-
mendous part played in the war by
the Motor Transport, we are apt to
forget that this part was made pos
sible only because France has a
splendid system of roads-not SIM
ply good road here and good road
there, but network of fine high
ways connecting almost every town
and village in the country. Useful
was this system before the war, DUR
ing the war it proved the salvation
Of France; and now that the last
shots have been fired, the roads may
justly be termed one of the country's
great assets in the work of rehabil-
itation.
During my recent mission in
France, as I travelled hour after
hour over roads which were main
tained in perfect condition almost up
to the front-line trenches, / could
not help but compare what France
was doing, even in the midst of war,
to the almost scandalous indiffer-
ence which our country, in time Of
peace as IN time of war, has shown
the road question. 1 cannot help
but feel that all of our soldiers when
they return from France will demand
that our roads be brought up to the
French standard.
Let US anticipate that demand!
Let every township, every county,
every state, let our national govern
ment, begin to plan this very day to
build roads adapted to the traffic
of today and tomorrow. l need not
argue the economic questions involv-
ed. That good roads soon pay for
themselves many times over is known
to every community which has made
investments in this direction.
We have done our share to make
the seas safe for the commence Of
the world. Let rs now turn some
OF our energies, released from war,
to the task of making our highways
safe and practical for ouT internal
commerce.-Wa1ter C. White in En-.
