Senator Case added that one thing
the Republican senators were trying
to make sur about was that the
S40,000.000 to be spent for roads
does not become a Democratic cam
paign fund" Senator Case referred
to the s40,00O,000 or the $780,
600 100 and explained later that
the last figure was meant to include
all the motor vehicle funds, state aid
moneys, federal road funds and sim
liar financial resources used for this
purpose.
Governor Silzer's message in gen
eral was a singing indictment of the
price both of warrenite and cement
used respectively for road surfaces
of the former name and for concrete.
He did not mention w%arrenite speci-
fcially by name but designated it
throughout his message as patent
paving" However, it was generally
understood that his references were
directed to the road surface sold by
the firm of Warren Brothers, Com
pairing it with sheet asphalt he said
that whereas the latter could be laid
for $3.50 a. square yard, with just
as good quality, warrenite cost s2.35,
making a difference in cost Of IS

this, the patent s~urfacing would be
two inches deep, while the other as
phalt surfacing would be three inch
es deep, giving fifty per cent more
material for the surface of the road
at a less cost.
considering the difference in
price and material. there is a dis
tinct loss of 81 per square yard in
cost" Mr.. Silzer then declared.
Tells of Middlesex
He then went into the use of war
renite in the counties of Cumber-
land, Atlantic, Morris and Middlesex
during the past year, showing that
in these four divisions of the state
plus the total laid in the other coun-
ties the square yardage amounted to
559,160. Figuring this as having
been laid at an excess cost of 81 per
square yard, under the above calcll-
lations, the Governor told the legis-
lature the state and taxpayers lost
during the year the sum of S559,160.
MY information is that during
the last yea patent paving surfaces
amounting to one million yards were
laid on state roads or roads receiv-
ing state aid continued Mr.. Sill
ger.
II believe that most taxpayers will
be surprised to learn that in the
building of a road having six inch
concrete base, 1t costs about 50 to
lay that six inches Of concrete and

ELMER SHIT TIL IN
LEAD Of PINCH
H|TTERS
Walks Twice, Hits Ten Times
in TWenty-one Trips
to Plate.

One Of the most remarkable rec.
ords Of the 1923 season was hung
up by Elmer Smith, Yankee pinch
hitter and extra outfielder. Though
the batting record of pinch-hitters
was not officially compiled, the full
statistics on pinch-hitters are given
in q timely article on that subject
In the Baseball Magazine. They
show Elmer Smith leading both
leagues with the remarkable average
of .476.
Not since Harry Mccormick was
with the Giants has New York seen
as remarkable pinch-hitting as was
done by Elmer Smith last season.
Huggins used him az q pinch-hitter
in twenty-three games. He walked
twice and made ten hits In twenty.
one official times at bat.
One OF his pinch-hits was homer
off Stanley Coveleskie, Of Cleveland,
putting the Yankees in the lead,
while another was a double Off
Pilette, OF Detroit. tying up the
game for New York.
In the National League, Jack
Bentley, the lusty slugger- pitcher
of the Giants, did almost as well in
the pinch-hitting line as Smith. In
twenty-one games as q pinch-hitter,
the big boy from Baltimore hit
safely nine times In twenty official
times at bat for q batting average
of 450.

NEW YORK, Dec. 11.-Gene Tun-

American light heavyweight cham
pion. He outboxed Harry Greb. mid
Glleweight champion, In their fifteen-
round bout at Madison Square
Garden and was entitled to the deci.
sion, though the Pittsburgher
finished in blaze Of speed. It is
probable that Tunney will now be
matched with Georges Carpenter,
who cabled challenge to the win
ner.
Tunney's best work was when
close to Greb. He tore series OF
hard rights to the body that wore
down Greb's strength until in the
tenth q left hook to the chin had
him in bad way. Tunney might
have finished his man then and
there, had he possessed the wallop.
Greb held on till his head cleared,
and the opportunity was gone.
The Pittsburgher fought his usual
windmill style of g fight. He led
in the third and fourth rounds. elud-
ing Tunney's best blows and landing
some hard ones himself. He sue
ceeded in opening q. cut on Tunnoy's

WADE K|tLEFER
THOUGHT He
COULD RUN

When Wade Killefer. part owner
of the Seattle ball club, was a
youngster in Paw Paw, Mich, he
was considered the towns fleetest
sprinter. He thought nothing of
running a 100, a 900, and a quarter
mile in the morning and playing
ball game in the afternoon,
maybe getting so cents for the
whole proceeding. Then he prob.
ably would finish the evening by
dancing.
"I remember once when we had
a two-day ball series with negro
hall club" said Wade. 1--WE didn't
have any trouble swatting on the
first day. That night some of the
boys heard visiting player boast
they had a runner who beat every.
nody he had ever tackled.

for the event.

TACTICS
August Hermann indicates
Eddie May Be Traded

Cincinnati is again out of pa
tience with Eddie Roush. Eddie. it
will be remembered, is the only per-
petual hold-out in baseball. Every
year about this time he announces
to the Cincinnati club that he. will
not play another game Of baseball
unless they give him a two or
three-year contract calling for about
$4,000 a year.
Negotiations extend far beyond
the training season. and usually
after the season starts. Roush con-
sents to some kind of a compromise.
There is some method in Roush'G
scheme because he has avoided
going on the training trips for
several seasons.
The Reds are getting rather tired
Of 1t, and August Hermann has
permitted the rumor to escape that
Cincinnati might make some kind
Of a trade with the Giants for Eddie
