CH|CUBS WANT
TONY ASPLAYER

CHICAGO, Oct. 10 I.N.S0.-The
Chicago Cubs want Tony Lazzeri-
but not as manager.
Admitting that he had made
a bid for the former star second
baseman of the New York Yam
KEGS, Owner Phil K. Wrigley, Of
the Chicago Cubs, today said he
would continue negotiations with
Tony, but that he was satisfied
with Charley Grimm as the field
boss Of his bail team.
Wrigley did not indicate how
Lazzeri would be used if he is
signed, but it was believed the
veteran Italian would be given the
post as general assistant to Grimm
and utility player.
Lazzeri long has been regarded
as fighting ball player, and the
Cubs have been woefully weak in
this phase of the game. It was
the opinion of many good baseball
men that if the Cubs had shown
even a little fight last season they
might have "breezed in" in the
National League pennant race.
Wrigley said he had not talked
with Lazzeri, but that he had
wired him. He said he hoped
Tony would appear here for a
conference some time next week,
adding:
ct want to make 1t definite,
though, that at the present time
I am not considering a change
in managers"

splendid example of changing concepts
of government responsibility over.
long period of years. At the outset,
roads were built by townships and
communities. Later, financial aid was
given to counties by states-New Jer-
sey being the first in 1891. BY 1908
eleven states were given aid to coun-
ties and ten years later, forty-two
states were aiding counties.
But even then highways were be-
ing built around centers of population
and not so much to connect these cen
tiers at any considerable distance
from each other. The need for inter
state roads was beginning to be felt.
Because Of this need there arose a
strange public demand that the Unit
ed States Government should contri-
butte financially toward bodybuilding
as it had done a hundred years be-
fore.
This demand took definite form in
1916, in the passage of the first Fed
eral aid bill, and later came the Fed
eral-aid act of 1921 which gave us the
basis for our present interstate sys-
tenn of roads. And the situation as
applied to roads has now developed in
many other fields. There is a loud
clamor for Federal assistance in these
other fields assistance in handling
problems states cannot control alone.
