Roberts Tactics in Passing Jack

Adverse Comment

In a fairly fast ten-inning game
played at the Playground diamond
saturday, Americas won from Balm
bridge Mnen GIddIngs laced out u
double TO lett, scoring Basslnger,
who reached nrst on a pass.
Some adverse comment was
heard among the fans at Roberts
tactics IN deliberately passing Jack
son three times, 1t beng the con-
seusus Of opinion among those
present that the visiting pitcher dis
played poor sportsmansnIp in thus
refusing Jackson opportunity to
bat.
Americas started the run-getting
in the first when Giddings and
jackson scored on three doubles
by Giddings, Jackson and Wade,
but cambridge rallied in their half
Of the second frame and pushed
Knowles and Cordell across on a
single, a double and a single, and
the visitors scored again in the
third when Mannion was passed
and got to third on a couple Of
errors by Dumas, scoring later on
McKenzie's bingle through short.
Aemricus scored in the third al
so on two doubles by Giddings and
Randolph, and in the sixth Jack
son tailed on a hit to right, Shop
pard's error and a fielder's choice.
In their half of the sixth, Balm
bridge pushed Mckenzie across on
hit to center, followed by a safe
ty to right and Gidding's error.
In the eighth Americas tied the
score, when Walton scored on two
singles and a fielder's choice, a,
this ended the tally harvest until
the tenth, when with Bassinger on,
Giddings landed on Roberts offer
ing for a double, and the little
Americas moundsman treked
around the paths at terrific pace
and over the rubber.

american engineers are building
Panama high1oays 9th american
methods. Typical constructions scene.
The little Republic of Panama,
which has just floated in this coun-
try a loan of $4,50O,OOO with which
to build good roads, is to have by
1926 the most comprehensive syS-
TEN of modern asphalt and maca-
dam highways in any of the Latin
republics, Venezuela excepted,
A special mission of the Republic
of Panama is now in this country
completing details of the loan and
arranging for road construction.
The selection of these types of con-
struction was made after careful
consideration of the best American
pavements.
The Panama road program con-
templates completion in the next
three years of work begun in 1920
when the Government had accumu-
lated over 100000 from ordinary
revenue for road building. Up to
the present time a total of 125 kilo-
meters of asphalt and macadam
highway has been completed.
Having come to the United
States for the money with which
to pay for road construction and
for highway engineering skill the
Republic |of Panama is also en-
ploying modern American methods
in the construction of its high
ways. While much of the outlying,
rural roadway is of the macadam
type, the best road in the Republic
is a stretch of asphalt highway
from the City of Panama to Old
Panama and Tapia where traffic is
heaviest, according to one of the
members of the Special Mission
The highway is equal to any in the
United States, he declares, not ex-
cepting the famous asphalted Fifth
Avenue Of New York.
