Corbett's Daily Letter
 On Great Sport Topics
By JAMES J. CORBETT

Benny Leonard, modest and unassum- ing. gives to Billy Gibson, his manager, a great portion of the credit for his ascent from obscurity to fame as one of the greatest lightweights of all time.
 If Gibson hadn't taken charge of me when I was a kid and guided me along the pubilistic lanes, the chances are that would still be fighting little more than preliminary battles and getting nothing but small purses. It's my man. ager who has made me-"
 Leonard's tribute to Gibson werely brings to mind an established fact The bulk of ringmen who rose to great ness, to fame and to fortune, owe it to their managers. A skillful manager is just as necessary for an ambition ringman as is knowledge of how to fight.

These sort of fellows, however, are the very ones who blow the worst sort at the most unexpected moments, while our boy, Tom Stevenson is always steady in the pinch es and can make some scintillating stops himself.
 We are looking for Al Ellis to go on his regular hitting spree soon. When the lanky sunielder is right he breaks up more ball games than anybody. Watch AIS smoke during the Il games here. Over in Athens, Ga.. the University of Georgia and Georgia Tech will lock horns today and tomorrow in one of the most Interesting college series ever scheduled in the south.

 son, vice president of the American City Bureau.
 Birmingham has exhibited fine speci- men of this Spirit in all the war drives the last of which closed last Saturday night. By team work these campaigns were put over and Birmingham made reputation for loyalty to country and patriotism that will stand so long as the memories of the great world war finger in the minds of the people,
 MT. Wilson defines the Spirit he has in mind as "the progressive element in man. kind, and it is the unfolding of SPIRIT in a community that attracts and develops that kind of men that build empires and rule states"
 Tn short" he adds, commerce exists solely because there are human wants to be satisfied, and the word business is the name we give to the organized machinery of satisfying them. Business is not thing by itself, divorced from everyday life; it is part of life, and every appetite of the day creates business"
 With the splendid achievements through team work in the war campaigns known to them, the men and women of Birming- can realize what might be accomplished through team work, commercial and in- dustrial lines, in the upbuilding of Bir- mingham and the promotion of her well fr 4 fo, of 1
 No city can grow and prosper and be- come great unless it's citizens work togeth- CT for the promotion of it's interests, it's welfare. The old Latin maxim: United we stand, divided we fall," applies in busi- ness and industry and city building as we'll as in political matters. United in the ef- fort to build up their community to make it attractive, to draw strangers to it, the people of any city can make it great, and conversely, where there is lack of unity, lack of teamwork, the city will not pro- gress.
 Again quoting MT. Wilson: "The busi- ness man who imagines that he can live in dependently of the activities of his fellow citizens is engaging in costly self-decep- tion. Every civilized man is dependent upon others The retailer needs custo- mers; the lawyer clients; the doctor, pa tients; the manufacturer, laborers; the worker, employment Even the thief needs victims; the snob, the gaping crowd; the tightwad, an opportunity to hoard money and pinch his spirit. Absolute 4independ- ence' may be the subject of foolish boast ing, but it does not exist"
 Now at the beginning of new era, an era promising universal peace and free dom of mankind, let the citizens of Bir- mingham organize, pull together, do team work for Birmingham. Take that won derful war organization, the allied armies. as your example; see what it accom- shed in the face of conditions, to say the -ast, not propitious, and shape your programme along lines that promise the greatest re- suits for this city.
 For as the city grows and prospers, you will grow and prosper, and by team work we will build mighty city here in Jones

BASE BALL LEAGUE
AWAKENS INTEREST
PULLMAN, COLFAX AND KEN
DRICK CONSIDERING PROP
OSITION TO ORGANIZE

That the proposition to organize a
base ball league with Moscow, Pull
man, Colfax and Lewiston teams as
members is arousing interest and fav-
Gable comment is shown by the news
papers of these towns. The Lewiston
Tribune published story telling of
Moscow's action and the other towns
have taken it up. Everywhere it
meets with favor. While Kendrick
is not included in the proposed league
the Kendrick Gazette expresses a
hope that Moscow will have team
that will interest the Kendrick team.
The following are some of the news
paper reports on the proposed league:
Kendrick is Sarcastic
Moscow organized a baseball team
the first of the week. They will
have twilight" ball games there and
expect to close all business houses
at o'clock one afternoon of every
week for match game. 1t is to be
hoped there is enough baseball ma
terial in Moscow to put up an inter
esting game against the KerNlrick
team this season.-Kendrick Gazette.
Pullman Approves The Plan. !.
A twilight baseball league, includ-
ing the towns of Moscow, Lewiston,
Colfax and Pullman, is proposed by
the Moscow commercial club and the
Pullman chamber of commerce has
delegated a committee including F.
E. Sanger, E. w. Thorpe and J. F.
Boiler to investigate the plan and
take the steps necessary to the or
ganization of a local team if it proves
feasible. The Moscow boosters or
ganization in letter to the Pullman
chamber of commerce, proposes that |
games be played every Friday even
ing at 5 o'clock, and that the bust
ness houses close during the con-
tests.

league are on improved

highways and easily accessible to all
the other towns by automobile, so
that little time would be lost in
travelling. Local fans favor the plan
and in all probability the committee
will report favorably at the next
meeting of the chamber and proceed
with the organization of team. The
plan proposed by the Moscow fans is
that the teams be made up of strict

BROTHERS
HAVE FINE CATTLE
HEREFORD HERD NEAR GENE
SEE SAID TO BE ONE OF THE
FINEST In THE WEST

Archie Kane, who had charge ot
the Platt Bros fine herd of Herefords
last year, but who went to Moscow
last June to take charge of the Uni
versity herd, has again taken charge
of the Plat herd, having returned to
Genesee during March.
Mr.. Kane is an experience dherds
man, and of Herefords says that the
Platt herd of Herefords is one of the
best west of the Mississippi and has
more Fairfax blood in it than any
like herd in the west.
Western Fairfax, head of the Platt
herd, is closely related to Richard
Fairfax, -year-old Hereford bull
recently sold by l.. A. Pinard of Wes-
Bros of Candy, Mimi. for $4,000
the highest priced Hereford bull ever
sold in the United States, which will
give the reader an idea of the quail
ity of blood in the Plat herd.
The Plat Bros. last week added 20
head of purebred Herefords to their
herd, making it one of the largest and
best herds of Herefords in the North
west.
The demand for the Platt Herefords
Las steadily increased and during the
past month % head were sold locally

GREAT ROAD BUILDING YEAR
Thousands of Miles of Improvem ent
Arranged and More viii
Surely Follow.

From the passage of the federal
aid road act to December IS, 1918,
755 projects were approved by the
secretary of agriculture. These
projects involve the improvement of
1857 miles of public roads at a total
estimated cost of $57 632 900, of which
the federal government has been re-
quested to contribute $21 1902, 900.
There have been actually completed
to date twelve projects, involving a
total of fifty-one miles of road, cost
ing approximately $617,548, and on
which federal aid in the amount of
$260,660.19 was paid.
Altogether there are more than
$500 miles Of road, for which most
of the steps preliminary to construc.
ton have been taken SO far as the
bureau of public roads is concerned.
Numerous other projects not yet re-
ported to the department have been
completed or are under construction,
so that the sum total of the road
work now<fn progress under federal
aid is greater than appears in this
summary.
From Florida to Maine, through the
North to the Pacific coast and down
to Mexico road building work is go
ing on. Every state has accepted its
contribution from the government.
and while no organized effort has
been made along those lines to the
present time, the states are working
gradually to the system of national
highways.
Coupled with plans already out
lined for expenditures ON the roads
is the legislative program now before
congress, which provides for $780,
100000 to be expended over period
of seven years by federal aid. 1t is
estimated that in the event of the
passage of this bill, which would 1
