FREEHOLDERS IN FIGHT ON
new COUNTY ROAD WORK

After many months spent in an
apparent effort to side-step the is
sue following the rejection of bids
for a warrenite surfaced road, the
plans and specifications for the paw
ing of north Main street, Metuchen,
with reinforced concrete were be-
fore the freeholders for approval.
The preparation of these plans
have held up the borough authori-
ties and prevented them from pro-
ceeding with the necessary ordi-
nanceS but with the approval yes
terday by the county body and a
similar action by the borough au-
thorities on Monday night, it is ex-
pected hat the preliminary work
can be carried to completion in time
the first of May.
Approval of the bill now before
the legislature. which if passed will
include the Trenton turnpike as u
state highway, was voiced in a reso-
luton presented by Freebooter j.
Fred Orpen and adopted blythe en-
tire body. This road, which is the
most direct route between New
Brunswick and the capital city. Is
four miles shorter than the other
two routes and if improved would
relieve much of the traffic conges-
ton.
Copies of the resolution are TO be
forwarded to the State Highway
Commission, Senator Morgan +.
Larson and the three members of
the general assembly from this
comfy, with the request that they
work for tile passage of the act.
The highway commission will also
be requested to provide for the paw
irg of the unimproved portion in
the event that the road is taken
over.

portion of the road to the county
line, while five miles of pavement

There's something else to think
about in case OF ST. Louis. The Browns
have been uncertain at third base
great deal Of the year because of in
juries to Ellerbe. More than that, when
he was playing he had to crank up his
arm with an auxiliary motion which
gave base runners step on him. 1t
slowed the team in every way. There
always was enough uncertainty about
it to keep the manager and the other
players in stew.
Foster Has steadying Effect.
The Browns took Eddie Foster out
of Boston when waivers were asked
on him. Foster said he was going to
st. Louis to coach and was about
through as a ball player. He made
mistake on himself. He has gone to
ST Louis and with his experience at
third base has steadied team which
needed just that kind of a tonic to
brace it up.
OF course. it is not necessary to men
ton SiSler.
Pretty much all base ball attention
is conferred on the fight in the American
League. II is astonishing to note the
sentiment in favor OF the st. Louis
club. Everywhere except in New York
the fans are for St Louis and there
does not seem to be any desire to see
the Giants win outside Of the followers
OF the team in Gotham.
A former high official of the National
League attributes this to the purchase
of players by both New York clubs to
strengthen tottering teams. IL am
satisfied" he said. that the public
is sick of seeing both major leagues
run for the purpose of creating profit:
and dividends for New York owners.

of principles is necessary and more

"Death valley" Jim Scott, who was
released from the Chicago White

Scott this year has had one of his
