WILL BE WONDERFUL ROAD
Highway of Solid Granite In the Rocky
Mountains Rival of the
AppIan Way.

Taking example from the famous
Appian way, which has the name or
being the first great road undertaken
by the Romans as a public work, the
state of Colorado, with the help of an
appropriation by the United States
government, is building a highway OF
solid granite In the Rocky mountains.
No other highway in the world, 1t Is
predicted, will provide travellers with
so magnificent scenic setting, close
to a sheer fall of 5000 feet on the
other side of the great concrete posts
and cables that will safeguard vehicu-
lar traffic. One gets an idea OF the
road from the practical statement that
1t is costing $4,000 a mile to build.
Like the Appian way, on which long
stretches of pavement first travelled
over 300-odd years before the Chris
tan era, still remain practically per.
feet, the chairman OF the Colorado
highway commission believes that Colo
RADIO is creating work which will defy
the centuries and stand. on compile
ton, as the most wonderful road In
the modern world.

misunderstood ENTRY
REQUIREMENTS OF SCHOOL

Entrance requirements of the Mara
thon County Training school are not
generally understood, is the belief of
Randall Johnson. principal, who has
requested the Pilot to print the fol-
lowing notice:
There seems to be some misunder-
standing about who may enter the
County Training school. 1t is due to
the fact that there has been so much
legislation along education. Many
parents do not know that high school
graduates can fit themselves for teach
ing in one year and later on can
complete the full two years course in
any of our state normals in one years
time. This includes the summer ses-
sion.
II All persons having completed
two years of high school work as well
as high school graduates may enter
the one year course and be legally
qualified TO teach at the end of the
first year.
III All persons having completed
one year of high school work and
fifteen years of age may enter the two
years course and be legally qualified
to teach at the end of two years.
LII. All persons past seventeen
years of age who have had only a
rural school education, may enter a
special three year course and be le-
gally qualified to teach in three years.
There will be an opportunity to
enter Monday, Sept. 29th and again

Conquered Desert Sand.

The British adopted giant SNOW
shoe" to conquer the sands of the
Egyptian desert, according to Maj.
John Balm of the British army, who
served In the near East. The scheme.
which was based on the same theory
that caused the Indian to adopt the
snowshoe. was discovered while the
army was marching to Palestine. The
fine sands impeded both the infantry
and horses. SO that days march
never resulted In much more than a
two or three mile advance.
Finally some inventive genius tried
laying rather close-meshed chicken
wire on the sands" said Major Balm.
''The Tommies were thus given some
thing that didn't yield SO readily as the
soft sands, and the horses got better
footing. Immediately we found that
much greater progress was made, and
our advances soon amounted to nine
and ten miles q day"

.GRIFFS TO FIGHT
FOR SERIES EDGE
By JOE $. JACKSON.

DETROIT. May 2O-Just when the
thought that they were making a
huge success Of the Western invasion
ancient George Dauss slipped in and
kicked them for a goal Monday after
noon. This afternoon Grifrith's tribe
will have to fight out with the Tigers
the game that decides whether the
series is a Washington triumph or an
even break and of advantage to no
one.
Manager Griffith indicated this
morning that he would pitch Harry
Harper against the jungalers this
afternoon. Detroit had hoped to wind
up the series with Dutch Leonard, but
the newIy-purchased southpaw failed
TO arrive from the coast. 1t is likely
that Willie Mitchell. another south
paw, who has the bug that he can
beat Washington, will be the Jen-
nings's nominee for slabbing.
COuIdn't De Thing.
Never did q major league club look
more feeble at bat than did the Sen
ators Monday afternoon. They could
do absolutely nothing with the curve
ball which Dauss sneaked around the
corners. Not until the seventh inning
did a Griffith hitter reach first on
batted balls.
Two were in the seventh@round.
when Sam Rice stopped the BAN and
bounced a scratch hit over Dauss'
head The ball didn't come down in
time to let Bush make a throw. None
of the three Washington hits went
outside the inheld.
In no respect did the Washington
entry resemble the cIouters who bat
tered the star Ehmke on the Sabbath
afternoon. Nor was the defense any.
thing to brag about. Twice Charity
allowed good singles to become extra
base hits by missing line drives on
the hop, and once Rice was guilty Of
the same offense.
Counted Four ErrOra.
In addition to these mishaps, fouf
errors crept into the box score. Two
of them were bad throws to second
by Agnew; another was a bad throw
to first by Shanks. The base-running
of Cobb drew two of these unfortu-
nate heaves.
The fourth error is charged to
Judge. who MADE a remarkable catch
of foul ball, picking the pellet right
off the concrete wall OF the grand
stand, and then chucked the ball out
of the lot in an effort to prevent Ed
die Ainsmith from scoring after the
catch. Eddie. who, on third by virtue
OF a triple, hadn't really intended to
score. but he couldn't refuse the gift
of Judge.
Ayers didn't get along very well
with the Tigers He wasn't exactly
bonn barded. but he was continually
getting into holes. and luck wasn't
breaking with him. So Griffith sent
Thompson in to bat for Doc in the
sixth and let the southpaw finish the
game. A double play saved Thomp-
sons hide in the seventh, but the
eighth proved that Detroit is no place
for him.

from willard, driving to his body and
then lifting his blows to the jaw.
| Willard Il Too Slow.
willard is too slow for Dempsey.
Yes, the champion has a long left
hand, but nobody ever won q fight
with a jab. I doubt IL Willard will
be able to do much With his jab,
either, because Dempsey is toe shifty.
Jack just won't be there when the
jab shoots out. that's all But he'll
be ripping rights and lefts amidships.
That's where willard will be beaten.
AT Havana willard really looked
, a joke. We won't discuss whether or
not the bout was a frame I'll just
recall those pictures showing John
son protecting his eyes from the sun,
with his knees pulled up. Johnson
is one of the craftiest men ever in
the ring and he may have even then
thought of explaining later how he
lost to the big fellow.
Now. Willard says he has learned
lot since then. Who from? Hemple?
Who's HempIe? Who did he ever
whip?
mo boxer ever learned anything
except in a ring. and since getting
that decision at Havana, willard has
boxed just ten rounds with Frank
Moran, admittedly A third-rater. He
couldn't even knock out Moran. l
know. for l was there and saw him.
Speed Will Count.
Speed will count for a lot on July
4. and Dempsey has it. The chal-
lenger is the fastest big man since
Corbett, and he can hit harder than
Sullivan's conqueror ever could.
You know how shifty Steve
Ketchel was-well. Dempsey reminds
me more OF KetcheI than any other
man | ever saw. taking size. speed,
and hitting ability into consideration.
Had KetcheI lived and put on weight,
he'd have murdered Johnson, and
would have been just about the type
of champion that Dempsey will be
July 5.
dempsey is a mere kid in boxing.
He takes good care OF himself. He
has a wise manager. Jack Kearns,
who will make a million dollars with
the new champion inside OF a couple
of years
Look Tor this-when willard
shows up and begins training in
public, capable sport writers will
comment on his slOwness and on the
fat he will show about his middle.
Right there you have your tip. That's
where athletes prove they can't come
