May be H was th?? recollectlou ot the steady ' growth of the circuit, the thought of mlllfons of dollars that had been paid Into the box offices by American fans. More likely. It was the knowledge that he had accomplished what he set out to accomplish?"make baseball the Kreatent professional' aport In Am-~ erica." "I can't help but feel that In many ways 1 have helped to do that," he said. And yet, though he feels that baseball now Is established, he sounded a warning as he worked at his filing cablneta. cleaning the way for his unnamed successor. "Both leagues face a danger now. They may grow too cocksure and forget there are interests constantly at work to make base ball a hippodrome rather than a sport. "I ve heard rumblings for some time of a third league. I wouldn't be surprised to see one started within two years. That's why 4h? majors should not lose their re aped for the fan. or le?s?n their eiforta to keep the game a game."

Sligo-Moyock Road To Be Opened In Fourteen Days Paving of the last link of State Highway 34 from Elisabeth CRy to the Virginia line was complet ed Tuesday night, and the newly paved section of the road between Sllgo and Moyock will be open for traffic in 14 days, or by July 27, according to reports reaching here from Hilgo today. The completion of this project gives tourists and others coming Into Kllzabetb City from Norfolk the choice of two routes, the one, the George Washington Highway by way of South Mills and along . the shores of the I>lsmal Swamp , Canal Into Portsmouth; the other, ; by way of Camden, Shawboro and; : Moyock directly lirto Norfolk over the bridge near Union Station. The George Washington high way Is the shorter of the two routes, but the nine foot paving at i this end of the route and th*> Portsmouth ferry at the other slow up traffic considerably. Many believe that when the sinking sec tion of Highway 34 spanning the Pasquotank River marshes on the ! Camden side, generally termed the I "floating rocd," has been bridged. I the Moyock route will be preferred \ over the George Washington: Highway. This work of bridging ' this sunken road Is now In pro-1 Kress and tends to Impede traffic' over the floating road ev*n more than an ordinarily high tide. POtt'LAR ATHI.KTK. DROWNM Lexington.
