AT FIRST GLANCE, il appear.
that the Brownsville road committee
IN the proposed $4,000. 900 program
has proceeded to "hog" the whole is-
sue
But examination Of the report ot
the committee on the program in
precinct No. 2, in which Brownsville
Is located. shows the committee has
kept within the Brownsville pre-
cinct's share.
Precinct No. 2. Brownsville, shar-
ing in proportion 70 the taxes i,
pays. is entitled to 80 per cent of
$4,000. GOO, based on last years valu-
aticns. which would give the pre-
cinct approximately $4,000, 900 Of the
issue.
The Brownsville committee out
lined roads which will call for ap-
proximately 100 miles Of construc
t:on.
Generally speaking, il will cost
about $4,000 n mile 10 build perm
anent roads. If all the 100 miles. cost
that. il would entail an outlay of
ss.Oo0.oO0. But possibly some Of the
teedcr roads will be one way roads.
fhich would permit more cnstruc-
lion.

SAVED FROM CANNIBALS
BY DANCING CHARLESTON

SYDNEY, May 9.-Menaced by
sayages in the island of Epi, in the
New Herides, Palmer Kent, eompos-
er and orchestra conductor OF this
city, declared on his return from
holiday trip that he had saved
himself from injury and possible
death by giving exhibitions of the
Charleston.
Kent told of his hostile reception
by the natives. The natives began
crowding around him and tearing at
his clothes. Then, said Kent, he be-
gan to dance an intricate Charles
ton movement. His tormentors
watched with awe for a while, and
then all took up the dance, while
Kent whistled the orchestral accom-
paniment.
Kent was there and then made
instructor in the Charleston, and
soon he was teaching the dance to
zoo semi-nude men, women and chill
dren. He declared that the natives
proved apt pupils and they were so
delighted with the Charleston that
they loaded him with presents and
provided him with an escort back
10 the coast.

LEADERS PLAN
FOR BIG YEAR
Over 800 Athletes TO BE Sent
10 Tourney Abroad at
Over $500, 900 Cost

New York, April 9.-tP, Having
solved transportation and housing
problems at one stroke by deciding
to charter an ocean liner for the en-
tire trip of Americas Athletes to the
1928 Olympics, the American Olympic
committee under leadership of Will
liam c. Prout, Of Boston, today
launched "a program designed to mar
shall the most formidable array of
talent it has ever sent after athletic
conquest.
With the exception Of tennis, which
has been withdrawn from the Olym-
pic program as an outgrowth Of un-
satisfactory conditions at Paris in
1924, the machinery has been set in
motion to form the strongest and
most representative teams possible in
all the branches Of competition. Be-
tween 800 and $50 athletes will be
sent abroad at cost of 100000 to
$350,00O.
Track Is Important
Especially keen competition for the
track and field team, major unit of
the American contingent, is anticipat-
ed by the committee in framing its
plans for nationwide tryouts lead
ing up to final tests in the east just
prior to the departure Of the ath-
letes, now slated for between July A
and s, 1928.
Colleges and clubs throughout the
country, as we'll as the numerous
sports governing bodies, will aid in
raising the fund of 100000 or more
needed to defray expenses. which
figure at rate Of $1,000 per athlete.
This work will be directed by the
new treasurer of the committee, John
Raskob, who is treasurer Of the Cen
cral Motors corporation.

BEST PITCHERS
FAIL TO REPEAT
Winning of Batting Crown
Easier Task Than Topping
Twirlers, Says Evans
tBY BILLY EvANS)

Winning "a major league batting
champ ionship is a difficult feat
That is an admitted fact. However
statistics prove that finishing at the
top of the pitching list is more SO.
I On the face of the two PROPOSE
tions, it would seem that winning
the pitching honors is the softer
spot of the two. Yet such is far
from the truth. Champion batsmen
repeat far more often than league
leading twirlers.
Ty Cobb, greatest batter Of all
time, has led the American League
twelve times, nine of them in sue
cession. Harry Heilmann has thrice
copied the title, George Sislcr is a
two-time winner, while Larry Lajoic
has four championships to his credit

It's decidedly different matter
when you look over the pitching
statistics. There Is no hOgging OF
the spotlight for from two to IL
years.
Let us turn for a minute to the
pitching averages of the major
leagues and learn the story.
Since the organization Of the Amer
