never be satisfied until absolute
perfection is attained.
Commencing this morning, 100
men Of the construction force go
to work installing an eight-lane
cement road, which will lead into
the park from all entrances and
connect all parking lots with the
track buildings. The surveyors
have completed their Job and the
grading crews pulled off the lot
on Saturday, leaving the way clear
for the men who will lay the new
smooth surface.
Every parking lot has already
been regarded and new dust.layinK

added, bringing Narragansett's

Your agent invaded the pre-

thing on every pitch. but it was
evident from the start that he was
not extending himself to the limit.
Finally he turned and said:
"Watch this pitch"
He threw a screw ball, and you
can make bet that it was as good
as anything ever offered by Carl
Hubbell. That sounds like a large
order, and Bucky Harris will not
believe it's true. But the ball

 It was understood that Thurs day a house fish bill would call for a tax of one percent on all reds and kings, and a half cent on pinks and other species caught in traps.
 It was estimated this would raise between four hundred and four hundred and fifty thousand dollars, which would take care of all social security legislation.
 A resolution was introduced in the house yesterday afternoon to have all officials furnish affidavitS of their citizenship, and also at the time they seek office. The senate passed the long unemploy ment compensation bill and sent it to the house.
