DOUBLE PLAY KINGS
 SLIP OUT THE DOPE
Harris and Peckinpaugh Tell How to slap Inc Double Plays Onto
 Opponents.

Manager Stanley Harris, star second sacker Of the Washington Nationals, and his shortstop, Roger Peckinpaugh are considered the double-play kings of the American league, if not the majors.
 Last season the Washington club made 1s@ double plays, breaking the major league record. Either Harris or Peckinpaugh started a majority of these double killings.
 Unquestionably no two players are in better position 10 give the best formula for the making Of double plays. Here is their prescription;
 Always cover the bag on every play, and don't be late in doing it. That puts you in the best possible po- sition to take throw.
 Handle the ball fast and give it to the man covering with something on it.
 Double plays cannot be made by mere tossing of the ball, the man starting the play must cut it loose and take chance.
 Many double killings are lost by inches and faulty handling of the ball is always responsible.
 Learn to pivot on the bag as you receive the throw, so as to be in a position to start your throw without any lost motion,
 Speed and accuracy are the two essentials in the making of double plays. Each can be acquired by ton- stant practice"

Then after everything seemed set tied, some kind friend informed Ga zella that he had been with the lan- kecs long enough to be entitled to q full share, under the baseball laws governing the disposition of world series prize money.
 Gazells proceeded to take the mat ter up with Judge I.andis. who sus- tained his plea for full share.
 Thus the Yankee regulars, who at first intended 10 give Gazella only $500, were compelled by the judge to sip him a full share calling for bet ter than sG,00o.

MANY BARRELS
Of CEMENT
IN MILE
A Concrete Pavement One
Mile Long and Eighteen
Feet Wide Is Described

"A mile of concrete pavement as
ordinarily constructed, eighteen
bet wide. will require 1000 cubic
yards of mixed concrete. This
means that 3.40O barrels of port
land cement, 1,1O0 cubic yards of
sand and 1000 cubic yards of stone
must be supplied and mixed.
In making 3,400 barrels of port
land cement some $40 tons of coal.
or equivalent quantities of oil or
gas, are burned at the cement mill.
Approximately nineteen tons of
gypsum are required to regulate
the setting time of the material.
To get the cement shipped to the
construction job, 1860 cloth
cement sacks are needed-and
approximately thirteen bales of
cotton must be woven into cloth
to supply this item. incidentally,
over 6O,O00,O00 cloth cement sacks
are lost or destroyed each year
and the textile industry is called
on to furnish requirements. Back
In the cement quarries approx
mately 400 pounds of dynamite
were discharged in blasting loose
the raw materials required for the
cement for the mile OF highway.
A government bulletin estimates
that thirty gallons of water are
needed to mix and cure a square
yard of concrete pavement. Over
100000 gallons of water must be
furnished for the mile of road, and
over 1000 tons of concrete go into
the project.
A good idea of what the highway
construction business means 20 the
railroads can be obtained from the
requirements of a mile of concrete
road. About thirty-two cars of
sand are needed on this job,
forty-six cars of stone are re-
quired, and it takes seventeen cars
to haul the cement-or ninety-five
cars fer the basic materials. Where
reinforcing is specified, further
transportation is called for, while
the water supply is governed by
local conditions. In addition to
these requirements the drainage,
grading, bridge and culvert con-
struction must all be provided for.
