himself was responsible for the
chance given the youngster to
make good. He lives in Somerville,
Mass, and in 1919 became imbued
with the desire to play dig league
baseball. So he went to Braves
Field during q series the Pirates
were playing there and offered his
services. The Pirates took him

lan's successes on the paths were
due to the skill with which they
eluded the tag at second base Most
base runners slide directly Into
base on the theory that straight

tween two points. but not Cobb or
Milan. II the ball had them beaten
they would slide from three to four
feet away from the bag. where the
guardian Of the cushion couldn't
reach them, and then thrust a hand
or a foot TO safety.
Some Of the fastest men In base
ball aren't good stealers simply be-
cause they cannot get the Jump on
the opposing pitcher. Take Whitley
witt. Of the Yankees, for instance.
He is as fast as a streak going
down to first: know Of only one
or perhaps two men in the league
who can cover this distance as fast
as he. vet you seldom see or hear
Of him stealing bases. On the other
hand, there was George Moriartv.
Of the old Detroit Tigers. Morey
never was fast. not even as fast
as the average major Lacquer. Yet
he always had the knack Of getting
a long lead and thus was enabled to
steal Il surprisingly large number
Of bases.
As said before, the improved
skill Of the pitchers In holding

partially responsible for the fall.

American League In this respect

George Mogridge. formerly Of the
Yankees and now Of the Washington
Senators, IL another tough bird to

the Brooklyn Robins, Is a third. Any

before delivering the ball, while II

variably looks toward the batter
while taking his step toward first.
In other words. the runner to be
safe while Smith is pitching must
everlastingly keep his eyes pinned
on Sberry's feet.

 The Riley Creek bridge Is in itself a triumph of engineering Late in November, 1921, 800 tons of steel for the bridge were shipped from Seattle 10 Seward Today the bridge, soo- foot structure, is practically complet- ed With the exception Of the 1,34o- foot steel bridge across the Tanana river at Nenana, which will not be placed in service until late this year or early in 1923, 1t is the last unit of the road to be completed. Pending completion of work on the bridge at Nenana trains will be sent over the Tanana on ferries in the summer and cover tracks laid on the ice during the winter months.
 The government railroad cost ap- proximately s56, 900, 900 and has been under construction since 1914. The main line between Seward and Fair banks is 467 miles in length, but, with branches, the completed system will have total trackage of 533 miles. For some months past luxur- ious trains, with Pullman coaches and buffet dining cars have been operat- cd over the main line on once-a- week schedule. Freight was carried between the ends of steel by dog sled.
 Aaskans hail the coming of the railroad as the key that will unlock one of the richest territories in the world.

Federated Church
.+++++++++++++*+i + {

The Ladies' Aid society met at the Presbyterian church last week and elected new officers for the year. Nearly an entire new set of officers were elected. Some splendid work was done during the year and we are looking forward to greater things dur ing the coming year. A union Thanks giving service was held at the Feder- ated church Thursday. Interest seems to be increasing in all departments of the church. Some of the members are on the sick list. Plans are being made for a Christmas program which promises to be of unusual interest this year. Communion service will be held Sunday morning, preceded by a short sermon. Some special music is being prepared for the evening ser vice. The subject of the sermon for the evening will be: "And the Famine Was Sore in the Land" You can't afford to miss the evening services. New officers are being sought for the Christian Endeavor societies. A very good attendance at both branches of the society last Sunday evening, but there is plenty of room for more, We earnestly invite all to the Sunday school which begins at 9:45.

A NEW TIRE

Big, black, rugged, impressive look ing, and yet with a certain smooth jauntiness, it dominates the display room of Babbitt Garage, this modern seven-league boot of the open road an automobile tire.
 It represents at once the last word in tire construction and a record mark in industry.
 Tire 45,OO0,OOO is the number this Goodyear tire is entitled to, reports Ed Rabbit, Goodyear distributor for the Flagstaff territory.
 'It is literally true also to say that this tire is the last word in tire con- struction. In a year that has been remarkable for new discoveries and improvements, for the past twelve months brought out from the Good year laboratories and experimental shops, the Cross-Rib line of popular priced cords, the Rut-Proof tire for heavy going, the All-Weather Tread solid, the All-Weather Tread cushion this tire marks an important step forward in tire construction"
 Reviewing the history of the Good year company, MT. Babbitt states that the making of the 45,000,000 was not evenly divided throughout the twenty three years of the company's exist ence.
 "As a matter of fact in all the years up to 1912 Goodyear had only build a total of one million tires. The other forty-four million tires were turned out within the last decade, re- flecting, of course, not merely the greatly increased use of the aUtOmu bile in that time, but the greater and greater confidence shown each year by the public in our product as it success fully met every test put pOn it.
 "As a matter of fact the atomo- bile of today would not have been possible if it had not been for the successive developments and improve ments in the tires upon which it rode. If the auto had been compelled to ride on solid tires, it's delicate mechanism would have been shaken to piece by the jar of the road as soon as any speed greater than 15 or 20 miles an hour was attempted.
 "VariOus manufacturers and inven- tors have tried all kinds of expert ments to hit on a substitute for pneu- matic tires, without success. Air is the best cushion known and the fact that tons of load can be carried at high speed over rough roads and diff cult obstacles with only a minimum of jar stands out as a tribute to the strength and efficiency of the pneu- matic tire and gives it definite place of importance in the development of modern commercial and industrial life"
 The tire will be kept on exhibit at Babbitt's Garage all week. Be sure and see this new tire.-Adv
