SMALL BUSINESS PASSES

Writing in the Review of Reviews, Col Leonard
P. Ayres business analyst, lines up the country fu
ture business trend follows;
We are entering upon new economic era which will
combine two things formerly regarded incompati
below prices and prosperity
1t will be era Of big business, the smaller and
less efficient producers and distributors being crowd
ed out and and the larger and more eff
cient concerns growing more powerful.
There will be fewer periods of depression, also few
er opportunities to start business.
This, perhaps is the most notable change forecast:
There will be employees and fewer propre-
tors For most business there will be less risk,
less worry, less responsibility, and steady jobs
in middle and subordinate positions with large
porations.,'
So the age Of individual enterprise in American bus
mess is rapidly passing. The organization not the
man, will be the thing hereafter-eXcept for a few
supermen functioning as captains of big industries
Many will like that Many will resent it. When
the many are working for the few and content with
taking orders it will be very different America.

CONTRACT BUILDING LEES
FERRY BRIDGE AWARDED

The contract for building Lees Ferry
bridge was awarded Wednesday after
noon to the Kansas City Structural
Steel company for S341,O00. Work
on this giant bridge project will start
Immediately, it was announced by
State Engineer w. G. Lefebvre after
he received message from Washing
ton stating that the secretary Of the
/ interior has approved the highway de-
partment's recommendation that the
Kansas City firm be awarded the
contract.
What appeared as an insurmount-
able obstacle when all bids submitted
were for more than the funds pro-
vided for construction disappeared
when the secretary of the interior APP
proved the contract award.
Mr.. Lefebvre disclosed that the
state highway department has made
arrangements with Coconino county
and Superintendent G. L. Walker of
the Western Navajo Indian reserva-
tion at Tuba City to provide the diff
ference between $285, 900, the amount
already at the departments disposal
for the bridge, and the bid Of $341,-
000
The state legislature appropriated
$185,00 for the Lees Ferry bridge
project, and the government pledged
100000 This left shortage of $685.
900 if even the lowest bid was to be
accepted.
Plans for the bridge were drawn by
the state highway department, and
these were approved by the secretary
of the interior. The highway depart
ment viii have full charge of construc-
tion so far as directing the contractor
IN following or changing specifications
and other details are concerned.
This will be the highest highway
bridge in America.
The reason the contract was not
awarded sooner was that State Engi-
neer Lefebvre did not get authority
from the U. S. secretary of the in
terror until Wednesday morning, Chief
Engineer Lane informed Frank Good
man of Flagstaff by phone.
Superintendent. Walker yesterday
showed The Sun a telegram from the
secretary of the interior relating to a
new floor and floor supports at Cam
eron bridge which must be provided
for the heavy material loads to be
taken over it for construction Of Lees
Ferry bridge. The telegram read:

dition Cameron bridge authority

Home run hitting de luxe by the big
muscled Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig
had the New York Yankees farther
than ever ahead Of the American
League pack today.
Number 25 for both Babe and Lou
came in the same game yesterday and
went long way to help the Yanks
to win by Is to 6 from the Red Sox.
For three innings after seeking his
18th of the season, Gehrig led his IL
lustrious team mate, but the Babe
took the challenge in the fourth with
a hot-shot to the top of the right
field stands. Never since 1920 has
any one led the Babe in the gentle
art Of turning out four-baggers and
this was not for long.
Far behind the Yankees, Washing
ton was fighting hard and hoping the
Yanks would let. up as they did last
year about this time, although it
was not enough to lose them the pen
nant.
Senators in Second Place
A spirited challenge came yester-
day from the Senators who took up
the job of pace following at which
the White Sox and Athletics before
them have failed.
In second place, with the White
Sox third, the Senators clinched the
contender position by downing the
Athletics for the second time in two
days by to 5.
Another rising threat appeared in
the Detroit Tigers who were in fifth
place but only a jump or two behind
the White SoX and Athletics. Tho

HARRY RICE TO
RATE WITHBEST
GU TFlELDERS
POise Is Only Thing Needed
BY Young st. Louis Browns
Star, Evans Says
BY BILLY EVANS

Poisc is all that Harry Rice Of the
st. Louis Browns needs to be rated
one of the star outfielders of the
major leagues.
Poise in baseball is difficult to ex-
plain. mighty hard to define.
Poise means that player must
have sublime confidence in his abill-
ty without bordering on conceit. 1t
means he must be able to accept the
tough breaks and the good ones alike.
there fore have the proper tempera-
ment. 1t means the ability to grasp
situations quickly and take advan-
tage Of them.
You hear little Of Harry Rice. First,
because he is youngstcr just start
ing his third year in the majors;
second. because as yet he hasn't been
able to get the most out of the re-
markablc natural ability that he
possesses.
A Fast Runner
Rice has all the physical assets to
become a centerficlder of the iris
Speaker type. He is unusually fast.
l doubt if there is a man in either
major league who can step from the
plate to first in better time. In the
field, his great speed enables him
to cover a world of territory.
know Of no player in the big
leagues, with the possible exception
Of Bob Meusel, who has an arm that
can compare with Rice. He gets
great distance to his heaves and they
are uncannily accurate. Baserunners
take no undue liberty when ball is
hit in his territory.
Rice is sure catcher, but he has
yet to master the finer details OF
play that have always characterized
the work of Iris Speaker. There
never was a better center fielder than
Speaker.
Once Rice gets to know the oppos-
ing batters as Speaker does, thereby
enabling him to play his man per-
fectly and save step or two here
or there in the proper direction rs
well as accurately sense distance and
'lntuitively break in the right dlrec-
ton with the crack of the bat, he is
going to share the headlines with
the other outstanding stars Of the
game.
In League Six Years
Rice, sturdy athlete, who hits
lcft-handed and takes healthy
swing, but does his throwing with
the opposite wing, mas DecH pay III +
professional baseball only six years
He began with Paris in the Blue
Grass League in 1922 and was re-
gardcd as such good prospects that
st. Louis parted with all of 1000
simoleons for his services.
In those days Rice was an infield-
err, playing any position in the dia.
mond, but being partial to thirt
base. First, he was farmed to Dan
Vile in the Three-Eye League, then
sent to Tulsa in the Western League
on option.
Batting .4O3 in "a games for Tulsa
he was considered ready for the big
show and st. Louis recalled him a,
the close of the 1923 campaign.
Wins Regular Berth
During 1924 he played utility roles
to hit caused him to win a regular
berth in the outfield. His batting
average over the three years he has
spent in the majors totals 1925.
Once Rice gets confidence of the
Cobb type in his all-round ability and
doesn't let things of a minor nature
irritate him. thereby throwing him
off his stride, he's going to be a much
talked about young man in baseball
circles.
