That Great Falls Toll Bridge.

while the route Is sometimes Circuit
sous, Congress usually gets there after
o while. The manner of dealing with
the proposed bridge at Great Falls is
o good example Of the former, though
the bridge Is yet to be built. When
the Craniton bill passed the House It
contained provision that no toll bridge
would be built ct Great Falls, although
Congress previously had authorized the
building Of such bridge. At the same
time It provided that free bridge
should be built across the Potomac at
Great Falls. When the bill reached
the Senate It picked up an amendment
by Senator Glass providing that the
Government should build free bridge
across the Potomac and authorizing
money for that amount. When the
bill came out of conference 1t author
ised 100000 for the purchase Of. q
private toll bridge; the price to be based
on cost plus ten per cent, after the park
way has been established and the title
tc land acquired by the United States.
The net results Of this maneuver
should be that the bridge company.
which has done some small amount Of
preparatory work on the bridge, will
now 60 forward and finish 1t. Accord
ing to some estimates Of the length Of
time required, the bridge should be nm
tshed within eighteen months or so.
Presumably It viii then be operated as
o toll bridge, unless the Park and Plan
ming Commission In the meantime has
secured the proper guarantees from
Maryland and Virginia concerning their
financial participation and has bought
the land and established the park. In
this case the Government, after Con-
gress has appropriated money now
authorized, would 90 ahead and buy the
bridge. Otherwise the toll bridge will
continue to operate as q private en-
terprise.
There Is little doubt but that Congress
has expedited the building Of the bridge.
n the bridge was not built until the
park was established, tts proponents
would have the tussle that usually
accompanies An effort TO extract money
from the Treasury, with no positive
guarantee that Congress would agree to
build the bridge. But with the bridge
built, It will not be hard to persuade
Congress to take It over. In addition
to the fact that such step has now
been authorized. the mere mention Of a
private toll bridge Is enough to start
eloquent debate, while the fact that
. private toll bridge exists In Gov
eminent park II enough to seal It's war
rant Is private enterprise, imme-
diAtely.
The ten per cent added to cost Of the
bridge probably represents Q sort Of
bonus that Uncle Sam viii pay for
getting the bridge constructed. But
weighed against the possibility of there
being no bridge, It Is worth while.

San Benito Greyhounds will leave
Friday morning for K~ingsville for
an i~nterSectional game with the
strong Kingsville high school. This
should prove one Of the best games
in the Valley this coming week. The
KingSville team trounced the La

The Brownsville team is fresh from
a "a To 8 victory over Olmito and

ball. The Saints were the Valley
Champions in the 1890 season. They

Kingsville Pioneers and are plan

crowd is still attending the base
ball games.
III Grady Reynolds can get all Of

before the season is too far gone,
he will have one of the best reserve
teams that has ever represented
the Purple and Gold. Grady has
two complete teams with one rs
good rs the other and with this
bunch to pick from he should have
a real team. Last year Grady was
short or reserves and had to play
his regulars through the entire
game but this year he has plenty
reserves and Is giving them all a
chance in every game. Last year his
team scored two tolchdowns
against the Harrington Cardinals IN
the first quarter but his Regulars
gave out and they couldn't hold the

GROVE HURLS
WELL; LOSES
Colbert, Card Shortstop,
Fields and Hits
In Good Style
By BRIAN BELL


ST. LOUIS. Oct. 6-Pl-Connie
Mack's Philadelphia Athletics and
Gabby Streets St. Louis Cardinals
today we're right back where they
started the Worlds Series at Shibe
Park, Philadelphia. last Wednes-
day. With four games behind them,
the champions Of the American and
National league stood all even. with
two victories each. the home team
winning every contest played.
The two st. Louis victories made
a new National league high since
1926 when the same Cardinals won
the series.
After the fifth game today, the
battlefield will again be transferred,
the players moving in a body back
to Philadelphia for at least one
contest. and possibly two.
The Cardinals levelled the series
by giving 37-year-old Jesse Haines,
their knuckle-baIl expert. support
in keeping with his mastery pitch
ing. The score vas 3 TO ! and Lefty
Grove. Connie Mack's lefthanded
ace. was the victim. although the
defeat was not entirely the fault
of the tall southpaw.
Dykes the Goat
Grove held the Cardinals 70 five
hits, only n more than the total
allowed by Big Jesse, but all the
safeties were scored in two innings,
two in the third and three in the
fourth. With perfect support. how
ever, Grove would have escaped
with one run scored against him
a bad throw by the usually reli-
able Jimmy Dykes. permitting the
winning run to score. The player
put on by the error also scored
but this was an unnecessary run.
Dykes. rs a matter OF fact. did not
have to throw the ball al all As he
could have tagged a base runner
in trent of him for the third out.
Haines pitched good enough ball
to win most games. worlds series
or just common ordinary contests
during the season. He was nicked
for three hits and one run IN the
first inning, but after that he
yielded only one isolated single.
He was wild. issuing four passes
but he had control IN the pinches
when 1t counted.
Smart fielding BY Charley Gel
bert. the Cardinals young short
stop. gave the Ohio pitcher, who
is the senior Of the St. Louis staff
much satisfaction. Colbert started
a fast double play. after a sensa-
tional stop, and converted a near
hit into an assist when a hit would
have been painful TO the feelings
Of the St. Louis fans. Ray Blades,
who IS carried on the Cardinal
as a coach but plays right
field when a left handler pitches
for the opposition, made a brilliant
running catch at the expense OF
Mickey Cochrane, the hard hitting
catcher or the Athletics. who was
stopped in his tracks by Haines.
Grimes VS.. Earnshaw
The fifth game OF the series was
expected TO bring two former start
ing pitchers back into the lineup,
Burleigh Grimes, the veteran spit
baller. for the Cardinals and George
.Earnshaw. the Athletics giant
highlander. Grimes pitched the
first game for the National leaguers
at Philadelphia and was defeated
5 TO 2. Earnshaw won the second
game OF the series. 8 to l.
