 Maryland.
 has consistently followed this prae- tice. The originally improved roads in Maryland were comparatively in- expensive, costing only what the tax payers were willing to pay for The first few years the average cost was less than $10,000 a mile. Tn soma cases the work entailed considerable grading and drainage, but in others it amounted simply to resurfacing the old turnpikes, which had already been graded and drained. Generally the roads built at that time were macadam. 12 feet wide and six inches thick. Soon the width was increased to IA feet Later many were widened still farther, some very successfully, by adding concrete shoul- ders on each side Of the existing maeadam. This method of improving roads makes It possible for traffic to continue unimpeded on the road while the work Is going on.
 The macadam roads in Maryland have given very good satisfaction, but continuous care has been largely re- sponsible for their success. The roads are constantly patrolled and no hole of any size Is allowed to go unre- paired. Material for patching Is kept at convenient points along the road for the use of the patrolman. From relatively small investment in an ad- mittedly low-type road 1t builds up a better one from year to year, always conserving the bulk of the previous investment.

In- stead, he runs into a funeral-that of Dad Calkins, retired army man of whom little is known. A girl, still in her teens. survives Calkins. Mccarthy, saloon keep CT and Ponca's leading citizen, de- cides that the girl. now alone in the world, should marry. She agrees to pick out a husband from the score of men lined up in her home.

ANzAC NETMEN HOPE
TOL|FT CUP IN 1922

1t does not seem likely that any
such worldwide play for the Davis
cup will take place in 1922 as dis
tinguished the struggle for the his
toric international trophy this year.
when more than dozen nations
competed on home and foreign courts.
But this does not necessarily mean
that the competition next year will
be any the less keen. Australasia and
Japan no doubt will make even more
serious bids for the cup than was the
captain of the Anzac team, said that
it was the hope Of the Australasians
to return in 1922 with stronger and
more representative team than the
ono that tried so valiantly to capture
the silver trophy this year.
Gerald Patterson, the young and
sensational giant who came over with
Norman Brookes in 1919, probably
will return to this country next sum-
mer, and Brookes himself. if he can
find the necessary time Off, may head
the team. With J. o. Anderson. who
performed so brilliantly in our ma
tional and east-west matches, and
O'Hara Wood, these men would form
a team quite capable OF making a
most dangerous bid for the interna-
tional honors.
Zenzo Shimidzu. before he left these
shores for his native Japan. declared
that he hoped to return with a Japa-
nese Davis cup team in 1922, and.
even though Ichiya Kumagae may
not be a member Of the challenging
brigade from the far east, there were
several younger players Of great prom
fse in japan who might measure up
to international caliber.

Cutting Salaries Last Resort.
Cutting salaries is a last-resort
measure which all seek to avoid, ow-
ing to the depressing effect such q
move would have on the morale OF
the players. There has been much
serious talk of decreasing the number
Of players to be carried by each team.
That would give relief If the clubs
would live up to their agreements
But in the heat of a spirited pennant
fight they are apt to forget such
agreements. 1t has been suggested
that the player limit rule might be
better enforced if it were adopted by
classif1cations instead of by leagues,
because IL all clubs in one classifica-
1ion felt that they were working on
the same basis there would be no in
terleague rivalries and jealousies.
In spite of the hard luck stories
which some of the minor league mo-
Euls are telling. one or two new
Leagues are in process of formation
in the south and may be taken into
will be located in Mississippi.
One minor league president, George
II. Names. has resigned as head Of
the igan-Ontario clubs. The
Portland, Ore. club, long controlled
by the Mercedes, we'll known in
coast base ball, has been transferred
to another corporation. Montreal will
try to find it's way back into an or
Eanized league. Greenville, S. c., has
changed hands, and there is a new
management and will be new man
ager at Mobile.
Twenty-Six Leagues in Field.
Twenty-six leagues filed reserve
claims for players with the secretary
OF the national association and the
number of athletes who are under
control of organized base ball is
greater now than it has been since
the heyday of minor league organi-
xation prior to the start OF the Fed
eral League.
One of the players most in demand
from the minor leagues is Caveney,
shortstop for San Francisco. for
whom. 1t Is said, three major league
teams still are angling. while Wash
ington and one other dropped out of
the bargaining after it was found
impossible to meet the demands of
San Francisco.
Announcement that some Of the
major league clubs will stand pat
for 1922, so far as their players are
concerned, is explained by, minor
1eaguers on the ground that it was
almost impossible for them to de-
velop good young players in 1921 be-
cause playing talent seemed to be
lacking.
