effect that any old employees who de-
sire to return to work for the Frisco

false. He states that there are no

the association insofar as employees
are concerned but any old employees

PIEPMEIER SAYS STATE WILL
SAVE S175,OO0 ON ROADS

jefferson City, Mo-, Sept. PIN a
statement issued today B. H. Piep-
meier, chief highway engineer, declar-
ed that the state of Missouri would
save $175,000 under the estimates of
the engineering department as the re-
suit Of the letting Thursday for the
initial ITO miles of the $60,000,000
road program. The statement follows
in part:
"There are 30 different sections
advertised and no bids have been sub
mitted on these. These total estimat-
ed value of the work amounted to
approximately $1,900,000. On prac-
tically every section up for letting a
number of bids were submitted below
the estimated cost. On only one Sec
tion did the state fail To receive bid,
and on one or two sections satisfactory
prices were not obtained. The depart
ment regrets it may be necessary to
reject all bids in which the counties
fail to advise US within the next few
days that the right of way has been
furnished"
The statement continued that the
plarge number of contractors present
and submitting bids was an indication
that the prices of road construction
were becoming cheaper, and that this
fact should satisfy the highway COM
mission that its program would be
carried out economically.

BAN WANTS TO BAR
ALL POP BOTTLES AT
Big LEAGUE PARKS

Time was when the beer bottle
was as much a part of a ball game
as the hot dog and peanuts The
former was banished from big
league arenas long before Mr.. Vol
stead was heard from and the place
taken by Young Pop Bottle.
Now the latter. like it's late Ia
mented brother, is threatened with
the gate in big league society. At
least. Ban Johnson, president of the
American league. favors this move,
and announced yesterday that he
would bring the matter up for dis
cussion during the winter meetings.
Johnson attempted ~ similar move
years ago. but was overruled. The
revival of the bottle crusade is due
to the happening IN the New York
St. Louis game last Saturday. when
Whitley Witt of the Yankees was
knocked unconscious by bottle
thrown by an irate st. Louis fan.

BY wv. E."

The impossible has happened. The
Twin City "Caseys" were trimmed
In true fashion Sunday at the Cen
eral American bali park. 1t was a
real game from the spectators
standpoint, rull OF thrills and fast
plays. The White Eagles managed
to get out on top with a scant Ave
runs to the good, the final score be-
ing 10 to s.
Cohen was very good after a rath-
er erratic start, and the Caseys Will
tell you that after receiving a lib
eral gift of three runs In the first
inning. they never had a look in
with Cohen. who seemed to be rid
ing along as II he was in some Pull
man chair.
Grossnickle beat out q bunt to
start of with. and Jerry Galik fol-
lowed him to first after being hit by
the rather wild young Ginther. who
really intended TO pitch a brilliant
game. This was helped along by
Mathis, the next man to face him.
And how Ray did hit that ball! He
started 1t on a drive toward the
raising until the fans were well sat
isfied that IL was well over his head.
Ray pulled up for water at third
and received a hearty ovation after
the two runs were chalked up which
his long drive made possible.
However, Cohen was not going
just right at the start. He walked
the first two men up and hit the
third man. His trouble was over
after the next two men had ground
ed out, then as Fisher misjudged a
pop-fy back of first. which would
have been the third out, two Caseys
crossed the plate. A single by Lott
sent in another run and they had
a one run lead over their victims
at the end Of the inning.
From this on the Caseys were just
mere victims for Cohen. who struck
out twelve men and simply logged
along with perfect ease. as his
mates gathered a five run lead.
The largest crowd attending a
game this season turned out to see
the two local teams battle for SUI
premacy. Mu &c h money changed
hands and the fans of the Twin
Cities saw the best team win. The
White Eagles not only outclassed
the Caseys in pitching. but in field
ing and hitting. They out-shon.
their opponents man for man. The
fact that two fast double plays, two
force outs and every man on the
White Eagle roster enjoying one
