Lewis-K K arinoff Match at E. A. C. Tonight SPORTS|

Rained out, by gum. The boys have been mighty lucky though. Only twice has J. Pluvious butted in on their sched- ule.
 According to a wire received from At lanta late last night, the batteries for today's game between the Barons and the Crackers will be Crews and Peters for Birmingham Adams and Neidercorn for Atlanta Here's hoping Sam continues to pitch shut-out ball.
 There will be no double-header in the windy city for the present to mafe up for that rained out contest yesterday, but on August B Cholly's cohorts and Moley's maulers will mix matters in two-ply engagement.
 With Crews facing Adams today and Slapnicka hurling against Thornburn to- morrow, the Barons should bring home the series. Lefty Sigman will prob, ably open against the Lookouts here Fri day.
 The Barons come home Friday for 12-game stay. Chattanooga plays three, then Memphis four and following the Chicks, Little Rock will be entertained for a quartet of battles.
 Moley IS WOrklng crews. and Slap to death these days, but other managers are forced to do the same thing by their star hurlers. Robertson and Weaver are doing most of the work for the Pels, Brennan and Thornburn for the Crack CTS, Karr and Robinson for the Travel CTS, Canavan and Goodbread for Mem phis, Helfrich and Decatur for the Vols, Fulton and Day for the Bears and Loh- man and Marshall for the Lookouts.
 Yesterday in the opening battle of the great series between the Giants and the Cubs in New York, Muggsy McGraw's s Gothamites knocked Grover Cleveband Al exander out of the box and aided by Rube Benton gained the decision. Inasmuch as there has been considerable argument over the respective merits of the two nines the present series is being closely watched by fans all over the country.
 When Karinoff and Lewis meet at the club tonight there will probably be a capacity crowd on hand to cheer the giant Strangler on.
 Despite his recent defeats at the hands of Zbyszko, the headlock expert is still great favorite here
 Big Jeff Pfeffer won his fifth straight game for the Dodgers yesterday, beat ing Fisher, who had four consecutive wins to his credit up to that time. The Dodgers may not win the pennant, but their hurling staff is certainly classy one.

RURAL ROUTES MUST BE
MAINTAINED.

Postmaster Barefoot has ad-
vised the Chamber OF Commerce
that unless the roads in the vicin-
ity Of Chickasha are improved the
rural mail routes will be abol-
ished The president Of the cham
Der referred the matter to Mr..
Hutson, chairman Of the good
roads committee, and the latter

checking the proposition up to the
county commissioners.
According to the information at
hand, more than five hundred
families are served by the rfn

loss Of the service to these people
would be unfortunate in the eX-
treme. That it would give Chick
asha and Grady county lot Of
undesirable advertising, must be
conceded. This calamity must
not be permitted to happen.
A meeting Of the patrons Of the
rural routes, together with mem
bers of the Chamber of Commerce
and the county commissioners.
should be called at once, with a
view to working out the serious
problem which is before us. This
meeting should be held at the
earliest possible date, personal
notice being sent to the head Of
every family on the routes, the
situation being fully set forth By |
cooperation among the patrons
Of the routes and the county com /
missioners we believe the roads
can be improved to an extent that |
will save the routes.
We feel sure that the postal de-
partment will not be unreasonable |
but will be satisfied when it is
convinced that everything posi-
bic has been done to put the
roads in good condition. If the
routes were abolished it would |
probably be long time before
they could be re-established even
after the roads were brought up
to requirements. Much time can
be saved and the threatened !
loss of service can be prevented |
by taking prompt action instead |
OF waiting till the department is
forced to abandon the routes.
The roads used by the rural |
carriers are noitall bad An in
vestigation will probably show
thai az that is necessary is tY I'M
prove the worst places and this
can be done without any great eff
fort or expense. That there is
way to do it is not open to ques- !
tion. The sensible thing is to pro-
ceed to get the parties most inter
ested together and if this is done
we have no doubt that the imme-
dlate problem can be solved.
