|ROAD LAW REPEAL
ASKED BY COUNCIL
CheverIy Orders Draft of
Bill Seeking Return to
Commission Control.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


CHEVERLY, Md, December 15.-
BY unanimous vote the mayor and
Town Council of Cheverly last night
directed its corporation counsel, Rob-
ert w. Mccullough, to draft a bill
looking to the repeal of the present
road law, under which the State main
tains all roads, and a return to the old
system under which the county COM
missioners have supervision over the
county roads The council asked,
however. that the county continue to
derive its road maintenance funds
from the State gasoline tax.
It was announced that Cheverly has
yet to receive its allotment in gas tax
funds from the State Road Commis-
sion for either last year, when the
first payment was due, or this year.
Under the old system the town re-
ceived each year in road rebate money
approximately $1,000. AS result 1t
has been seriously handicapped in its
road work, it was stated.
Asks Magistrate Law.
Mccullough also was asked to draft
an amendment to the town charter
empowering the town marshal to take
persons he arrests before any nearby
magistrate, regardless of whether he is
sitting in the immediate community,
and also providing for the creation of
the post of town magistrate.
1t was voted to ask the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad to repair the approach
to its tracks leading into Cheverly.
Qualification was expressed over in
stallation Of sewerage in Cheverly.
Ward Division Loses.
A motion to seek an amendment
providing for the dividing of ward 3
into two parts was lost when Mayor
Fred w. Cast, who presided, voted
against it. Mayor Cast thought the
matter was not sufficiently important
at this time to bring before the Legis-
lature.
1t was decided to petition the proper
authorities to put the part of ward
now in Kent and Seat Pleasant elec-
ton districts in Bladensburg district.
The remainder of Cheverly now is in
Bladensburg district. The change
would add about 20 voters to Bladens-
burg district.

NICARAGUA CANAL
SOUGHT FOR j. S.
New Move for Inter0ceanic
Link Sets $722,000,000
as Projects Cost.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A new move was started yesterday
to get Congress to authorize construc-
ton Of a $722,000,000 canal across
Nicaragua for commercial and ma
United States.
Announcing plans to push for adop-
ton Of the 30-year-old project, Chair
man Carl Vinson of the House Naval
Committee yesterday said he would
discuss the proposal soon with Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
The Georgia Democrat said he had
canvassed large number of Senators
and Representatives and found that
sentiment predominantly favored the
project. r'F'
Resolution Asks Commission.
vinson yesterday completed drafting
q resolution which called for the Gre
alton Of a Nicaragua Canal Commits
sion" Of IL to make report as quickly
as possible to Congress on the "feasi-
bility and wisdom of constructing" the
canal. He plans to introduce the res
olution on the first day of Congress
and said he would press for early pas
sage.
The last report submitted to Con-
gress on the project, December 10,
1881, by the United States Army Inter
oceanic Canal Board, advised against
building the canal at that time.
The time is rear when the United
States will have to construct the Mic
aragua Canal" Vinson said. THE
Panama Canals locks are not large
enough to accommodate with safety
some ships now being built. They
scarcely are large enough to handle
the big aircraft carriers-the Sara
toga and Lexington.
Shorten Route to Orient.
From a commercial standpoint,
the NicaraguaI Canal will shorten the
route from the Atlantic to the Pacific
Coast and the Orient. -"
From the national defense stand
point, 1t is tn the advantage of the
United States to have two canals
through which to transfer the fleet
from one ocean to another in time
of war. There Is always the possibility
that one might be destroyed to such
an extent as 10 bottle up the fleet"
The Army Board reported that the
most practical route for the Nicara-
guam Canal would be from Greytown
on the Atlantic to Brito on the Pa
cific oy way Of the DeSeado and San
Juan Rivers and Lake Nicaragua. 1t
would be 172 miles long, cost $722,-
100000 and the annual cost of main
tenance was estimated at s10,800, 900.

Also that the st. Louis CardinalS
and Cleveland are the most formi-
dable clubs in the National and
American circuits, respectively. They
are the current league leaders.
During the two phases of east
west play, western National clubs
won forty-SiX games from fasteners
while losing forty, and western
American teams took forty-four
games from fasteners while drop
ping forty-three.
frankie FriSch's Cardinals won
sixteen intersectional contests and
lost 6, and Walter Johnson's
Cleveland team won thirteen against
eight defeats. The Yankees, who
made the strongest showing in the
majors with nine wins and one loss
against western invaders in the first
phase, suffered on their recent trip
to the midland plains where they
won four and dropped eight. This
placed them beneath Cleveland in
aggregate eaSt-West competition.
The Cubs, also a strong home team.
took it on the chin during their
recent eastern tour, winning only
four of eleven contests.

WHEN the Indianapolis Wom-
w ems Golf Association held
its opening tournament of the sea-
son at Hillcrest Country Club
Monday a couple of new names
cropped out among the low gross
shooters. Mrs. Freeman P. Davis
of Highland, who has improved
her game this spring, fired an 81,
four strokes over women's par
figures, to gain first gross honors.
She was out in 80, just one stroke
over perfect figures.
Mrs. Davis believes she can bet
ter those four skies that spoiled
her chances to be even par rs
and is anXiously awaiting the city
tournament at Speedway next
month.
Miss Caroline Varin has been
heralded coming player by both
Russell and Ralph StonehouSe,
who are pros at Riverside and
Coffin courses, respectively, where
she plays often. When she scored
an 81 Monday in the city event
it was her first time below the
80 mark, and now that she has
reached the 80's class in compe-
tition it looks like her name might
appear frequently among the top
flight shooters.

1t is at this point of the pennant
race that the immortal Patrick
Henry would rise and, in his most
dignided manner, remark:
If this be dizziness, make the
most of it,
And Manager frankie Frisch is
making the most if it.

Problem for Street
The self-classed greatest hurler
ever to make the majors" had been
"a problem to Gabby Street before
FriSch took control, and frankie
was aware of the fact that he had
his hands full in handling a pitcher
who was as temperamental as a
pampered doll of the Follies.
Street and Dean always were at
swords points. Gabby knew Dean
was a good pitcher, but he limited
several times that the loquacious
one spread dlsSension in the ranks.
He probably could win about
twenty-five games for me, but he'd
also ruin my ball club, the former
Cards manager once remarked.
My other players would be mad
enough to chew nails and fighting
among themselves if they had to
listen to that for any length of
time. can win a pennant without
him"
Cries for Work
The funny part about Dizzy was
that, along with his boasting, he
was a good pitcher. In 1882 he cried
Tor steady work on the hill. calling
National loop larrupers a bunch of
weak sisters, and threatening to
knock their ears down with fast
balls.
Given steady work, he proceeded
to do just that in winning eighteen
games.
Last season he again did some
heavy heaving of the onion. chalk
ing up twenty wins, and setting a
new strikeout record of seventeen
against the Chicago Cubs.

that j. H. Dean made the remark:

asked for his opinion on the second

Paul not only is pitching like his
nrother, but he is pitching better
IMAM the original giddy guy, thereby

1882, when he was the star of the

1t was while riding on a train en-
route to st. Louis that Paul made
his forecast. Some one bod brought
IN g paper that carried a story to
the effect that Paul Dean, 17-year-
old brother of the famous Dizzy
Dean, had pitched the Columbus
team to to 2 victory over the
Giants in an exhibition game.
