Columbus O., Aug. 10 Efforts
are soon to be made to bring to-

championship of the United States.
The worlds championship is now
claimed by two men. Frank Jackson

Columbus, said by many sport writ
ers who have seen him in action
to be the equal OF either jackson or

ment held az St. Petersburg. Fla,
last February under auspices of the
National League of Horseshoe Pitch

The National League claims the
National Association is an outlaw
organization, and the National AS
Sociation is said to make similar
claims concerning the National
League.
Davis. the third of the trio. al
though affiliated with the National

To Guard Flight
Big L. S. Blimp
Across Atlantic

New York. Aug. 10-(By the AS
ISOLATED Press -Scicnce will be
called upon TO do its utmost to pro-
tect the dirigible ZR-2 latest addi-
ton to Americas navy on her flight
this month from England to the
United States.
While no string of destroyers will.
be flung across the Atlantic ready
for possible rescue work. as was
done when the three American nav
al seaplanes hoped off for the Old
World in 1919. four battleships, a
cruiser and special weather bureau
vessel will compile meteorological
data and furnish forecasts which
will guide the giant gas bag in dodg-
ing storms
Storms at sea, which mean moth
ing to modern battleship and are
bravely weathered by destroyers
may mean death to the crew of
balloon flying the Atlantic. Even
should the aircraft escape destruc-
ton, ii might be blown hundreds OF
miles off it's course.
Therefore, a far flung system for
scanning the skies will be put into
operation when the ZR-2 puts out
from Howden, England. on her 500
mile, nonstop flight to Lakehurst.
n. j. from a point 300 miles off the
Irish coast to another 100 miles
from Jersey Sands will be stationed
six weather vessels.
Each hour the radio will bring re-
ports of wind. barometer and tenn
perature from as far south as San
Juan. z. X. to as far north as New
Foundland. Out in Nebraska too,
government weather station will be
collecting similar data by means of
captive balloons and kites and tele-
graphing it eastward. From the
seaboard it will be wirelessed to the
maritime Observers. who will them
selves be making observations. test
ing wind currents at sea level and at
an altitude of several thousand feet.
Merchant vessels will be asked by
radio for supplemental data.
To a selected vessel. finally. will
come all reports and aboard her will
be charted a map showing distur-
Dances advancing and receding.
Then warnings will be flashed to the
dlrlglble. so she may shift her
course if necessary to dodge storm
clouds
The ZR-2 carries the very latest
radio equipment. 1t will be used not
only to receive weather reports. but
TO transmit daily reports Of her
progress.

Forced to show their full line of
wares. the Augusta boys came
through with a slashing to win
over the Portland Packards yester-
day afternoon. The largest crowd of
the season saw Houser's Colts come
from behind in a contest crammed
full of spectacular and sensational
base ball.
Hair-raising fielding stunts were
the rule rather than the exception.
Both hurlers were raped freely and
stops that were only short of marve-
lous cut off TALES in frame after
frame. Freddy Mcguire and Buck
Gaudette were the bright particular
stars of the rival infields. Each
pulled plays that brought gasp OF
admiration from the fans.
Sid Graves, subbing for Squanto
Wilson also made Il sensational
play at first while Nal Morrell. in
center registered a remarkable run
ming catch which shut off two runs.
Plays that brought the crowd to its
feet were scattered all through the
nine stanzas, but A. Morrell's steal
of home in the sixth aroused the
fans to frenzy.
The visitors also were not without
the classy stuff and Gaudette easily
led with three beauty stops that in
each instance meant mischief if not
handled for an out. Giboin in CEN
ter also made a fine running catch.

Giboin's rap to center Buch streaked
for the plate with NJ. Morrell making
q beautiful throw to head him off,
but the ball got away from Abbott

beautiful assist, Flaherty slammed
on to left and Giboin counted. Fla

McGouldrick got life on Aube's
bobble and raced all the way round
on Beaudoin's double but was out at
the plate on close decision. Beau

scored on w. Morrel's single. Nor
rell was out on Brisk's hit to short
and Abbott died by the same route.

when Phil Brisk raped one to left.

We're gravel roads. The expenditure
en- these roads amounts to $3.50.
Z''.oo. The average cost per mile has
been $4i42.00. The most of this mile
age has been built on roads subsid-
larry to the State highway system and
are roads, generally speaking. which
take a much lighter traffic than do
the State highways. Approximately
800 miles of this State aid road. how

$50 miles of improved road on the
designated State highway.
Miscellaneous Roads
Besides the two classes of highways
above referred to. there have been
built under the direction of the Com
mission third class highways, special
resolve roads, and roads constructed
from apportionment of automobile
registration fees made by the Cover
nor and Council. prior to 1913. Sub
stantially all of the mileage of these
last classes was gravel surface.
The complete record of new roads
built by the Commission shows 1908. OF
miles, of which 139305. or over eighty
per cent. is gravel surfaced
The records show that there has
been expended under the direction of
the Commission during the above Pc
riod for road building purposes, Sill

cost per mile of few cents less than

In view of the above statements,
this Commission is at a loss to under
stand the criticism which is freely
INDUCED in to the effect that the
Commission ought to build gravel
roads and that roads built by the
Commission cost 100000 per mile.
AS shown above, eighty per cent of
all of the mileage built has been
gravel surfaced and this type has
been used wherever in the judgment
of the Commission it has been suit.
