Peckingpaugh of the Senators hit a home run in the first part of the eighth inning. The deciding game was one of the most exciting gase in the his tory of baseball, Pittsburg tieing up the score in the seventh, only to have Washington take the lead in the eighth. I Ray Kremer was sent in to hurl for the Pirates in the fifth inning, replacing Morrison for ! a pinch hitter. I Walter Johnson took the mound for the Senators, with' Aldridge carrying the colors of I the Pirates. I Another great crowd welcom-l ed the teams as they marched on to the field. Washington j fans cut loose when the Old Re liable marched to the mound and cut loose with the first ball. The backers of the Pirates were equally as confident in the abili ty of Aldridge to humble the Senators. However their hopes were soon cast in the dust. Vic Al dridge could not la.st one full inning. The Senators pounced on him like a bunch of cats, scor ing four in the initial innig. Al dridge went to pieces.

OCTOBER ROTARY CLUB FAVOR CLOSING OF HIGHWAY Frank Sheffield Says Anderson ville-Americus Read Should Be Made Safe or Closed The highway between Americus and Andersonville should be closed until made sate for traffic, Frank Sheffield, president of the Bank' of Commerce said to the Rotary club Wednesday. “I am not suggesting that this road be paved, but as a citizen I am demanding that it be made safe. I do not suppose we can place a per fect road there, now, but we can make it comfortable. Today it is [positively dangerous. “I don’t knkow who is at fault, but I do think we should go to the ■proper authorities with a request [that they close this road until it is made safe. “We are talking of putting up signs, inviting tourists into this county. Right now we had better tell them not to come, not over this road, w r hich is positively unsafe in several places. “When I went to Turpin’s garage this morning to have a minor ad justment made on my car, I was told that one of their men had been out all night, trying to get a car on the Andersonville road out of the ditch. The road at places is as slick as grease and I know what sort of a job the mechanics must have had tryin to get a car out of a ditch there last' night said Mr. Sheffield. Several others present spoke along the same line. Walter Rylan der saying in his opinion both ends of the Dixie highway—between Americus and Andersonville, and between Americus and the Lee county line—were worse roads I than “some of the detours in Flor ida..” “A bad road travels among tour ists like radio in the air,” Mr. Ry lander said. “We have ‘this bad stretch and we should use every ef fort to remedy it. It is because of just such places as this that five hundred tourists take another route to the lone one who comes our way.’ President Warren appointed Frank Sheffield, Carr Glover and Frank Lanier as a committee to go to the ceunty commissioners and the divis ion office of the highway depart ment,” or to Atlanta to highway headquarters” and do all in their power to remedy what several term led a very bad stituation. ROAD UNDER STATE SUPERVISION The Dixie Highway north, that is the Andersonville road, from Amer icus to the county line is part of the State highway system, and all main tenance of this road is in the hands of the state highway department and not the county, the Times- Recorder was informed today. The Times-Recorder phoned County Engineer Wheatley regard ing the condition of the road and Mr. Wheatley stated that th e road being part of the highway system removed it from his supervision. Mr. Wheatley was asked if the road was dangerous and replied that, , there were two places in the road which should be properly drained,] top-soiled or graveled. He stated in his opinion, the road could be put in good shape with a about a couple of weeks work.
