I L. and C. E. Overman. Tho Com
mission is divided about equally
on the question, with Chalrmau
i Scott favoring the diagonal routo
eliminating tho two curves.
! Tho matter came up at tho reg
ular meeting of the Highway Com
minaion Tuoadsy, after the Com
I mission had decided to advertise
for bids for the paving of Salom
and Eslip roads. In Salem Town
,ahlp. to be received at the regu

The Salem road Is about a mil*

runs about three miles from a
point on the Weeksvllle Highway
a few hundred yards east of

Tho latest light over Peartree
Itnad opened with the offering of
m resolution by Commissioner N.

Is termed floute 3. following the

Chairman Scott declined to enter
tain the motion, baaing hia objec
tion on the abaenco of Commla

Mr. I?eary Insisted on putting It
to u vote anyway, and a ballot was

l/^ary, J. W. Perry and J. E. l,ano
voted for Route 3. and Commis

Both sldoa In the controversy

At eight o'clock promptly at the'
High School auditorium tonight1
the curtain will rise on the de
lightful opera. * Pinafore." pre
sented by the Tooley Opera Com
pany. a cant which has won ap
plause from people and press
throughout Southern rltles.
The beauty of the musical pro
duction will be enhanced by cos
tumes and scenery and the pro
gram will be ronsldersbly above
the usual presentations given lu
cities this size.
The Tooley Opera Company,
with six all-star musicians, pre
sents opera In English to large
audiences each season. This year
the company has specialized on
?Pinafore" and the program has
been exceptionally popular. Ev
erybody wants to see "Pinafore",
again, no matter how many time?
they have seen It before. Every
boy and girl wants to see "Pina
fore." and "so do their slaters, and
their cousins.' and their aunts." ,
The rise of the curtain show?
the deck of His Msjesty's Ship
Pinafore. The Captain la in a
mournful mood because his daugh
ter does not favor his plan to
marry her to Sir Joseph Porter,
and confesses that she loves an or
dinary sailor. Soon after ?he
meets Halph. who tells her of his
love, but Is haughtily repulsed. In
desperation he threatens to shoot
himself, and Josephine then con
fesses that she cares for him.
i Their plans to get ash'ue and be
married are overheard by Dick
1 Deadeye. a sort of comedy vllllan,

! elopement.
i In the second act Little Butter
Icup naively reveals her affection
for the Captain, but he tells her
he can only be her friend. This
1 angers her. Hiid she prophesies a
change In his fortunes. Sir Jo
seph enters? and complains to the
Captain that Josephine has disap
pointed him. Corcoran tells him
that his daughtar Is probably
dazzled by the exalted station of
her suitor, and suggeits that he
plead hia cause on the ground that
love levels all rank. Sir Josenh
accepts his suggestion, but only
succeeds in strengthening his riv
al's cause, as Josephine becomes
even more firmly resolved to wed
Ralph. Dick Deadeye now reveals
the planned elopement, demand
! Ing where they are going. Ralph
I confeases his love, which so an

Walter Johnson's great victory o?
W<dncsday null hovering lik?* a.i
aurora over the smoke of Porbe*
Field. oil.' outstanding fact was
registered m the m i ii d m of the
baseball critics.
^ It Is t Ii Ih : On the result* of
Wednesday's gain?' tlio teams are
not no evenly matched an previous
ly thought. They dlfTer very lit
tle In mechanical ability and per
Monally, but Washington has 10
per cent more aaserilveness and
the ronlldetice that doesn't pause
and sa> "excuse me" before it Ret?
to work.
That and Waller Johnson's pre
dominance in t lie open in k Maine
are tin- rardinai points when one
analyses the situation.
Johnson predominated the first
round as if he were the main tent,
the poles of t he tent, the guy ropes
and even the canvas men.
Here is his record In it:
Ten strike-out*. More, Traynor
and Smith did not ?trike out. H*
lilt Ms* Carey twice with a
pitched ball, once on the crazy
bnne and the oth?r time on the
folds of his kuirk?rs. Pittsburgh
got five hits and the only one
won h a tuppence was a home run
by Traynor into the right field cor
ral. He Kave Meadows a base 01
balls and thai was the only one
lie did give. He fed the I'iratea
distilled speed, curves that were
as hnwlMggi'd as the pinning that!
held up Hans Wagner vh<n he
was a famous shortstop; but when,;
with three on bases he hud a
chance to make hlmscir a four-ply
eonstcllatlon in the baseball Arm
ament, lie struck out as blindly
as he had been making the I'iratea1
fan. So they had some fun at h.:sl
expense after all. but It was hard
? l>* what could be called unbound
ed merriment, however, with th"
Washington (irfoae hanging from
the rafters. Johnson did not niixn
with the bat all of the time. b?
'cause in the eighth Inning he
slammed one toward left field that
was grabbed by an olongated btan
pole who was at least five feet ofT
the ground when he grabbed. onr>
Glenn Wright. Hut Johnson did
enough, as the Pittsburgh fans
will t?-ll you. They began to leave
the ground:* even before the gain"
was over, and some of fhem In
sisted that any team playing
against Johnson should be given
a handicap.
The Giants hit the big train a
tulle farther and much more fre
? quently Ism ye?r than the pirates
|did Wednesday. His work in the
opener makes Johnson look sll the
j better for a second game If It Ii
necessary to use him. and It may
[fall lo his lot lo put the sealing
I wax on the top of this series Just
?? he did In I f?24. lie sure of one
thing. He Is a better pitcher thl?
?year than last. Some of the oil
folks who feel that age Is creep
ing down the long, silent lanes
will be seeking Johnson ere long
to find out how In the name of all
baseball prophets he does It.
j The Pittsburgh star was Tray
nor. but there wasn't very much
starring on the Pittsburgh side.
They were mostly like paper lan
tern? In which th" randies had
gone wi'hout trimming for a long,
long lline. They played hard and
anxiously, but they were out
played. That's sll the story to
the opening game; *ood old fash
loned baseball with only one er
ror. a wild Ihrow by peckli.paugli.
but with the winning t'>arii as sure
ly master of the losers in this con
test as |m Daring Hilda, the lion
tsiner, the mistress of her cats.
Here sre some of the odd thing?
in that game. Iluck Harris never
, got. a chance at second bane e\
cept In a rundown play. Not i
grounder '.sited to him. Think of
that In a world series duel. Gosltn
never got fly hsll halted to him.
Rarnhnidt never caught a flv Cuy
It never rsusht s ball but "Pie"
Traynor *nd Wright worked over
lime.
As h matter of fact, ther* was
only "tie Plttahurgh batter who
