TOWNSVILLE ROAD
WORK IS DELAYED
Work Load Already Alb
sorbed Here and State
Funds Put in Repairs

Improvement of the Henderson
Townsville highway will not be car
ried out Immediately for lack of funds
according to letter from a State
Highway & Public Works Commits
sion engineer to w. S. Corbitt, who
with other local people succeeded
sometime ago in obtaining approval
for the project.
The letter stated that Federal funds
could not be allocated because the I'M
employment load here was not suf-
ficient to justify the earmarking Of
the necessary eunds. The State High
way Commission, likewise could moi
act because all of it's available funds
were being used in repair work over
the State.
For years the county has sought to
have this highway improved since it
leads out from Henderson into one
+, county and across into Virginia. There
have been promises from time to time
that something would be done, AMI
when approval was obtained some
| weeks ago il was thought that work
would be started St ortly Blueprints
have been drawn after SURVEYS were
| made. and these have been posted at
the co'n.1 house, showing the. changes
in the route to eliminate some of the
dangerous curves. That was taken to
mean that the long fight had result
ed favo' ably, but the latest advices
appear to indicate the contrary.

all were developed, not purchased.
Col. Jake Rupert used to spend
money lavishly in attempts to buy a
flag, but the late Miller Higgins was
given credit for the Yankees con-
sistent success few years back
just a couple of seasons ago the
White Sox bought Simmons, Haas,
Dykes and Earnshaw from the Ath-
letics and failed to get anywhere.
The Cubs laid out S125,O00 for
Chuck Klein in the belief that he
would bring Chicago a pennant. but
when Charlie Grimm led the Bruins
to the 1885 flag, Klein sat on the
bench and the trick was done by
youngsters who we're developed, not
purchased
There always Is first time. Maybe
Yawkey can do it with Grove. Foxx,
Cronin. Melillo. Werber, Williams,

cannot win a penant. I can't go so
far back, but ever since I can re-
member-as a kid interested in base
ball, as bush Lacquer and as a major
leaguer-I noticed it's never been
done"
How. then. are pennants won? Two
big league flags are won every year.
Why?
We'll. money counts" explained the
gent. whose name for obvious rea-
sons is withheld. But not so much as
luck and organization and small trad
ing. Take the 1924 Washington team.
f'rinstance. Bucky Harris and Griff
won the championship because Grif-
fifth made smart deals, Bucky made a
smart manager and the team had
organization. It wasn't because of
money, because Griff spent darn
little. The same was true in 1925.
"Take the 1888 Washington club
for another example. Myer, Goslin,
Manush, Cronin, Schultz, Kuhel.
Bluege. Sewell. Whitehill, Crowder.
Russell, Stewart and Weaver were the
big cogs. And Griff didn't buy one
of those guys, 'cept Weaver, Kuhel
and Cronin. And when he laid it on
the line he bought 'em as bushers. 1t
just isn't done-buying pennants. I
don't think Yawkey can do it,
The emphasis on this theory was
interesting-so penants cannot be
bought?
It was worth looking into. and
securing the annals of base ball as
you will, an out-and-out case Of pur-
chasing a pennant can't be found.
Old timers down here seem to
think the first case of trying to buy
pennant was back in 1888. when John
Clarkson, the great right-handed
pitcher, and King Kelly. the catcher,
comprised Chicago's marvellous bat
terry.
Boston wanted a pennant in 1888
so badly it purchased Kelly for the
then unheard of price of $4,000. But
Boston didn't win the pennant. Then
the Hub tried again, laid another ten
grand on the line, and bought Clark
son. Still 1t did not win. The Giants
won both in 1888 and 1889.
John McGraw used, to be accused
of buying pennants back in the days
when the trick should have been
easier, what with no rule In the
majors prohibiting the transfer of
players from one club to another
after June IS. But McGraw never
was able to point to purchases as the
big reasons why his Giants kept win
ming pennants. He bought players
like Dave Bancroft for 100000, Irish
Meusel, Art Nehf and Heinie Groh.
But really making his Giants into
champions were players like Ross
Young, frankie Frisch, George Kelly
and Travis Jackson. And these men

L came to pay his first visit to-

for an athletic shake-up by the Tartan,
student paper.
The purpose of DR.. Doherty's visit
was to meet the faculty and outline
his presidential policies, and whether
he would take cognizance of the ath-
letic situation was undetermined.
The Tartan in an editorial asked
the removal of Foot Ball Coach How
ard Harpster, who was a star on the
great Skibo team of 1928. 1t also
demanded athletics be taken "out
of big business" and given back to
the students. There have been re-
ports Harpster might be replaced,
since Tech completed mediocre 1885
season.
HARPSTER, Max Hannum, basket
ball coach, also under the Tartan's
fire and Athletic Director Clarence
Buddy Overend all said they didn't
want to enter into a controversy.
Overends comment was:
I'VE are doing what We consider the
best possible for the schools athletic
set-up. We have gone

nothing to get excited about"

N YEW YORK. March 5.-Rookie
nj outfielders have caught the
eyes of ivory fanciers to an
d unusual extent at this years
major league base ball roundup in
the South and Far West. Allowing
percentage off for early enthusiasm
or first impressions, the fact remains
that more newcomers have a chance
to scale the ramparts this Spring
than in many silvery moon.
Joe Di Maggie, the sensational
Yankee recruit from the West Coast,
seems destined to start the coming
American League campaign as reg
ular. The young Italian American
will have a big burden of ballyhoo to
carry around, but he seems to have
unusual poise as well as all-around
ability.
Di Magglo's Coast League batting
record of 1893, along with a number
of other juicy minor league marks
compiled by rookie stars, carry no
guarantees, but they may be dis
counted and still look good. Oscar
Eckhardt. who hit 399 in the same
league as Di Maggie, may land a
job with Brooklyn, while George Puc-
cinelli, top batsman of the Interna-
tional League at .359 last season. al
