REVENGE VERY SWEET
TO CAST-0FF PLAYER
Released Ball Stars Come Back
for vindicatiOn.
Urban Shocker Of ST. Louis Browns
Known as Nemesis of New York
Yankees-Johnsto Gets Even
With the Indians.

Revenge tastes fairly sweet under
ordinary circumstances but there must
be fierce JOY in the public revenge of
cast-off ball player.
The Yankees hooked Urban Shock
er to the Browns In 1918 and ever
since then Shocker has been known as
the nemesis Of the Yankees. His chief
delight is to pitch to Babe Ruth at the
Polo grounds where all New York hay
see, scorning the intentional pass be-
cause he seems to know that he has
more ION" the BAN than any other
pitcher in the league.
The Indians got rid of Doc Johnston
because he was too old for a club with
the championship idea. And when the
Athletics recently mauled the Indians
pitchers for 20 hits and % extra bases,
which equaled the major league rec
ord, Doc Johnston took merry part
in the pasting with pair of triples
and brace of singles In five trips.
Derrill Pratt went to the Red Sox
in one of the numerous "house" deals
between the Red Sox and the Yankees.
He lost piece of worlds series money
by that move and therefore his glee
was something sinful when he bumped
homer into the stands at the Polo
grounds this spring, defeating the
champions.
John McGraw got angry at Phil
Douglas and Jess Barnes last winter
and announced that any club In the
league could have either or both for
very moderate price and the Gus.
tomary trade discount for cash. In
their spring stands around the East,
the Giants would have been beaten
several times but for the same Doug
las and the very identical Jess Barnes
And eventually 1t was no less than
Barnes in person who pitched that no.
hit, no-run game against the Phils,
facing only 27 batters and permitting
just one man to arrive at first,
That was dramatic revenge for
Jessica.

ranged like those of a wagon, and four

behind, and carrying a hose reel, ro-

In Paris. The machine is intended as
fire engine In small towns. When
the scene Of fire is reached the pedals
are thrown into gear with the pump,
the hose is unrolled, and the riders, re-
suming their seats, work the pump by
means Of the pedals. 1t is claimed
that this machine can outstrip any fire
engine drawn by horses on the way to
a confiagration, and that It's pump is
at least as effective as those Of the

The bunt In baseball is due to
come back. The season of 1922
is certain to see a revival Of
the bunt as an offensive weap-
on. The lively ball and desire
to emulate the deeds of Babe
Ruth has crowded the bunt
off the baseball map for several
years.
The bunt Is a one-run play.
1t means much to get one
run advantage under the ordi-
nary conditions. For several
years, however, one run has
meant nothing in the life of q
ball team.
The lively ball always opened
up possibilities for getting runs
in clusters. For that reason
most teams kissed the bunt
good-by, placing it securely away
with the moth balls.
With a less lively ball and
better pitching the bunt Is sure
TO return to popular favor dur
ing this season.

the opposition in the air, throw

statesmen for the Ault and Wilborg

as he was coming over the road
from Barre to ST. Johnsbury.
About mile from St. Johns
bury the sedan which he was driv-
ing hit a soft place in the dirt
road swerved andr oiled complete
ly over. Mr.. Ryan was alone in the
car at the time and escaped unhurt.
Today, however, he was suffering
from a badly bruised shoulder.
Other tourists passinp by assem-
bled and managed TO right the Sc
dan. Mr.. Ryan then took his place
behind the wheel and continued on
his way to st. Johnsbury, where
he at once went ahead to transact
his business.
The fact that he was riding in
a closed car no doubt saved Mr..
Ryan from serious, if not fatal in
iuries. His sedan was very little
damaged, the tenders both front
and rear being somewhat bent and
battered.

VERMONT STATE
WASPONEER IN
ROAD BUILDING
Legislature Help Start
Good Roads Idea In
United States

Vermont was a pioneer in the
good roads movement-and hence
should continue to light the way
10 greater developments. James
p. Taylor, secretary of the Yer
mont state merchants association
tells OF this states early leadership
in the great task Of building
good roads.
BY James P. Taylor
Vermont a Pioneer-In 1892
the Vermont legislature helped
start the Good Roads Movement
in the United States. Here, as in
so many cases, Vermont played the
pioneer, There had been too little
official recognition by state gov
ernments that there was a need
Of radical changes in road laws
and policies, demanding the most
serious attention of the members
OF state legislatures.
But the Vermont Legislature
was awake to the fact, and hence,
authorized the appointment OF
three commissioners ITO make an
examination of the highway sys-
tenn in this State and to make such
report as in their judgment may
be deemed eXpedient."
The report of the Highway Com
mission published in 1894 was a
document of national significance
for it was one of the influences
which led other states to investi-
gate and to act. Thus Maryland
authorized an investigation in 1898
and Maine in 1908.
The subject of the Vermont re-
port was "Hiehway Improvement"
and it was made by Commissioners
George W. Hooker, J. w. Votey,
and O. L. Kinds.
They Desired that the public
regard the report "as a prelim-
mary statement of the situation,
OF a first step in the direction of
the Improvement Of Vermont
roads. 1t will accomplish, in at
least a small degree, the object
for which this Commission was
if it secures for the
hereafter the attention
which their Importance demandsl'
The key rote of the report was
given in the first words of the in
as follows:
"Well built and carefully main
tanned highways, atfording rapid
and easy transit, are essential
to the prosperity and full devel-
opment Of any community; while
neglect to provide and care for
such lines always prevents or re-
.ards tie growth of any section.
The more widely separated the
Industries of any community, the
more their success depends upon
the excellence of these lines of
transportation. No sections of
country feel the injurious effects
Of bad roads as do the farming
communities. Hence the inhabi-
tants of Vermont, where the lead
ing industry is agriculture, should
be- especially interested in any
measures leading toward the i'm
Of the highways on
which they are so largely depend
ent.'
Abstracts of Road Laws Of 80
Other States-The Commission
had studied, and wanted the pub
lie to study, the road laws and pol
cies Of other states; for they in
in their report a series
of abstracts of the laws of 49,
states, a. follows: California,
indiana, Massachusetts, Michigan,
Missouri New Hampshire, New
Jersey, New York, North Dakota,
Oregon, Tennessee, Washington
and Wisconsin.
