Vickery & Hill's
Tumble to State
HOSPITAL 5 to 6

The State Hospital nosed out q
victory on the Hopsital Grounds
Saturday afternoon by defeating the
| Vickery- Hill team, 6 to 5.
The contest was snug affair Of
one to one until the last half Of the
seventh, when three singles and a
costly throw by Hall brought three
hospital lads home. Damren showed
| splendid nevre, and with two on
bases and only one out, famed two
| of the best batters on the Hospital.
Both sides got two in the eighth,
| and in the visitors half of the ninth
they came up behind with a rush. A
single, fielding error and L. Webb's
| three -sacker gave two more counters
and looked like a balloon ascension,
but Fred Mullen showed great COOL
ness in a tight pinch and famed the
last two men, the first out being a
! play from the outfield that caught
Wilson on third. -
| With the willow. the Publishing
House boys broke several bats and
more than doubled the performance
of the Hospital in the same depart
ment. The Webb family all featured
! and the two Primes likewise. These
I brother combinations were stellar
attraction.

Famous Storm King Highway on Hudson
Open to Traffic and in Perfect CONDITION.

That the Storm King Highway.
famous scenic road on the Hudson
River, north Of West Point, is the
most notable scenic route and the
most outstanding triumph in high
way construction in America, was
the consensus of opinion among a
party Of Eastern highway engin-
GERS and good roads enthusiasts
who inspected the road recently.
The party found the celebrated
highway in perfect condition. Ear
lier reports, entirely unfounded,
were to the effect that Storm King
was not in good condition, not
withstanding that it had been open
to traffic only few months.
! The broad and impressive panor-
anna unfolded to view from this
road, with its rugged mountains
and winding river, must be such as
Bunyon saw in his dreams. It is
as though Switzerland had becu
,transplanted to America. Over
looking scenery that rivals that
along the Rhine, this road is equal
to any in the Alps. or any OF the
well kept "routes nationales" in
France. A friendly rivalry is warm
ing into a controversy among the
admirers Of Storm King, Columbia
River and Lackawanna Trail. res
pectively, as to which holds the
palm as most notable highway
in AmeriL.. Other claimants will
no doubt come forward. and the
outcome will be vastly more at
ttractive scenic America.
Not only does the road open to
view scenes of extraordinary
grandeur, but it passes through a
locality rich in colonial history.
Nearby, in Newburgh Bay, Hendrix
Hudson anchored in 1909. Beacons
of liberty burned nightly on the
surrounding mountain slopes dur
ing the Revolution. At historic
West Point to the south the Con-
tinentals stretched an iron chain
across the Hudson and stopped the
advance Of the British feet. Near
by, the traitor Benedict Arnold
lconspired with the British. The
mountains reverberated with the
thunder of cannon and the rattle
of musketry during the repeated
fighting in and about Fort Clinton,
the ramparts of which are still to
be seen. A short distance to the
north. at Newburgh, Washington's
headquarters have been preserved,
and to the west is the site where
the Army of the Revolution was
encamped. There General Wash
