East-West Highway

A movement has been Launched
at Elizabeth City for designation OF
an east-west highway that will run
largely across the northern tier OF
counties in the State, Including
Vance. Support for the project IS
Eeine asked in the territory con-
cerned.
U. S. Route 1853, which starts
across North Carolina after leaving
Knoxville, threads over the noun
tains. thence by way Of Reidsvllle,
RoXboro, Oxford, Henderson, War
lenton and Weldon, and at Mar
.reesboro turns north into Virginia
at Franklin. Agitators for the
change think 1913 should not turn
north mo Virginia at Franklin, but
should be diverted eastward in this
State from MurfreeSboro 10 Eliza
octh City. then follow the recently
Quilt BelcroSS-Barco Shortcut to
Currituck and Dare counties.
Those who are fostering the
movement for the change merely
ask that the designation he altered;
something which they declare Will
not involve the expenditure OIL a
single penny of road money, but
will tend u improve the highway
and to straighten out Il number oil
the VS. in it.
All that will be necessary, II Is
argued by those familiar with the
route, will be to change 100 from
Mulrfreesboro to Franklin to 25o.
That particular section is already
part of the Cavalier highway from
Norfolk to Florida. which becomes
SO lust west OF MWfreeSboro. L.
5. 259 is a north-South highway,
which is offered as much more
appropriate number for the Muir
ireeSboro-Franklin segment Of what
is now L. S. l58.
Recent seasons have seen traffic
increase greatly to and from the
northeastern section Of North Caro-
lima. especially during the period OF
the summer performances OF The
Lost Colony" pageant at Manteo. A
GOOD deal Of this traffic now moves
through Henderson, as we'll as
through Oxford to the west and
Warrenton and other nelghbor
towns to tie east. The proposed
extension OF the 1873 designation
ought to add to this traffic and
bring still more tourist routlngs
through this city and section.
Since no road financing is in
yolyed. the task should be easier.
The highway authorities merely
would have to be sold on the idea
OF the new designation and num-
hering. Henderson Interests would
benefit by throwing their influence
behind the movement and CO.
operating in the suggestion.

Reasons for the terrific fight made
against a North Carolina wage and
hour bill in the last General AS
sembly became quite apparent upon
inspection of Labor Department
statistics for January.
This report shows that for 20 mon
manufacturing" concerns reporting
on wages and hours, the average
wage was 1914 cents per hour (less
than half the average wage in manu-
featuring industries). while the
average hours worked per week
reached sos against an average OF
1862 in manufacturing industries.
Included in this "nOn-manuGactur-
ing" group arc hotels, public utilities
etc. It was the hotel group which was
particularly vigorous in opposing any
state Wagc-hour law.

that few volunteer fighters have

Sacraments Shut Out Parks Champs;
 Bradley Stars
(NEA Telephoto

Being the underdogs in their playoff game at Hamilton Park yes- terday afternoon with the North End Pals, defending champions of the Public Parks League, meant little to the Blessed Sacraments, for the West Side array, with Ralph Bradley throwing them ala Charley Ruffing, chalked up well deserved 4 to 0 victory to force the Pals to play them for the league title now in three games series.
 The Sacs victory was their first over the Pals in league history and was their second in as many days for Saturday, with Avery Rowlinson of Watertown hurling for them, they defeated St. Peters of New Haven in the Elm City, 4 to l. Next Sat- urcay Manager Joe Cavanaugh has booked the famed New Haven Rail- road team for contest at Hamil- ton Park.
 In Fine Form
 Bradley was in great form and whizzed them past the Pals time and time again, Striking out a dozen and allowing but three hits, two oi infield variety by second basemtr Irving Benson and a solid smash tc centerfield by Mike Mobile. Only two Pals reached first on free pass es. Harp Sullivan, diminutive start- ing hurler of the Pals who has beat en the Sacs several times previously lasted but four and one third inn ings before he gave way to Coach Freddy Jacovino who finished. All the Sacs runs were charged to Sul- livan.
 Joe Kalosky, reliable third base man, Oily Petrillo, tiny shortstop and Ray Beauty, second sacker were defensive brilliantS for the Cavanaughmen while Kalosky also took honors with the willow with a single and triple.
 Joe Sodano, centerfield of the Pals, came through with the best catch of the afternoon. Jimmy Overton walloped a long liner tt deep left center in the sixth frame and Sodano after a long run glovee handed the leather while running at top speed. The ball was labelled for homer had not Sodano spher' ed it.
 Manager Joe Renaldi of the Pal! and Cavanaugh of the Sacs will gel together over table at the Centra Y this evening at 8 o'clock to make plans for the playoff series.

 GOOD ON BOAST TO TAKE TITLE
Kramer-Schroeder Team New Toast of Tennis
 World; Marble Tops
BY TOM NOONAN
 United Press Statff Correspondent}

-
 Chestnut Hill, Mass, Aug. B. (UP,-Two cocky 19-year-old Cali fornians were rated today as the nations top team after they ful- filled their boast to win the na- tional doubles championship.
 Jack Kramer of Montabello, Cal, and Ted Schroeder of Glendale, Cal, became the youngest tandem ever to gain the title when they conquered the fourth-seeded com bine of Gardnar Mulloy of Coral Gables, Fla, and bespectacled Henry Prusoff of Seattle, Wash, GA, 8-6, |9-7, in the final match of the 59th national doubles championships yesterday.
 The straight-set victory climaxed a brilliant season for Kramer, 1889 Davis Cupper, and Schroeder, the No. junior in the nation. Since joining hands in January, they have won 13 titles in 16 tournaments and 76 matches in 79 stars. Their tri- umphs at Seabright and Southamp- ton earned them third-seeded rank in the national championships. War prevented Adrian Quist and Jack Bromwich of Australia from defending the title they won last year.
 Alice Marble of Beverly Hills, Cal, queen of the worlds courts, shared in two championships. Blonde Alice jointed with Sarah Palfrey of Brookline to win their fourth straight women's doubles ti- tie and later teamed with Bobby Riggs of Chicago to retain the mixed doubles crown she annexed last year with Harry Hopman, Australian Davis Cup captain.
 About $500 spectators watched yesterdays play under sunny skies on the famed grandstand court Of Longwood Cricket club.
 Won Hard Way
 Kramer and Schroeder. who reached the hal by eliminating top seeds Frank Parker and Don Mo- Neill, took the decisive games in all three sets the hard way by breaking through the powerful services of their giant opponents.
 The Misses Marble and Palfrey, undefeated since combining four years ago, carried too much power for Dorothy Bundy of Santa Mon- ica, Cal, and Mrs. John Van Ryn of Austin, Tex, an unseeded team that reached the final by an upset win over top foreign seeds Valerie Scott and Mary Hardwicke of Eng land. The champions won in straight sets, GA, 6-3.
 In the mixed doubles, Miss Mar ble and Riggs defeated Miss Bundy and Kramer, 9-7, 6-1.
 Mrs. George w. Wightman of Brookline annexed her 33rd nation al title by winning the women's veterans doubles championship with Miss Edith Sigourney, also of Brookline. They trounced Mrs Gretl Dupont of Los Angeles and Miss Eleanora Sears of Boston, 6-2 6-1.
 Watson Washburn and Harry G. N. Kelleher of New York toppled defending champions Dr. G. Colket Gamer and Charles c. Felton.
 The father and son doubles title went to L. R. Gay and F. R. Gay of Los Angeles who defeated J. J Armstrong and J. J. Armstrong, Jr of St. Paul, Minn., 6-4, 5-7, 6-3.
