It scarcely can be aiil that tho Giants have a foothold on the top rung it's no more than a toe. hftld und a very insecure one at that. As a matter of cold fact, it's necessary to get out the per centage tables to prove that the clan McGraw really is in the lead. Mathematically liin Giants arc leading by three percentage points, bin in names won and lost the Cardinals still show tho way by. half a game. The figures: W. L. New York 6 !

WINS AIR RACE FALL FOR YANKEE ' CHICAGO. Auc. 20. (JP) Mem bers of the British Walker cup! ( team, who are entered in the west- J ern amateur championship at the j Bob o'ltnk elub this week, have ; . contracted the American fever of ; betting on golf. . During yesterday's practice ! round, two American opponents suggested the two Britons play i them for five dollars on each nhm I holes and another five dollar for the IK. The Kuglishmen were as tonished and exclaimed: ! "Why, that's more than a pound j of sterling." ! Their return proposal was they i play for a dollar for the entire IK hole round with no bets on the single nines, but later they caught the fever and were betting a dol lar a hole on tho practice green. But no money changed hands. Major C. O. llalet shouted to T. Perkins as the latter went to tho first tec to play a round: "By Jove, Berky. old top, I owe you seven dollars!" "Quite so, quite so. hut let it go," replied the British champion as he smote a drive 270 yards down the fairway. And that was all there was to it as far as could bo learned. El j Possibly for the first time in the history of highway building a pro- posed road-the ran American j route is being considered not only jas a means of moving traffic, but I as a guide and emergency landing I field for aviators and for promot i ing international good will. ! This statement was issued today ; at national headquarters uf tho i American Automobile association, which has consistently supported this project nmt encouraged high way building lu foreign lands, i The A. A. A. points out that con 1 gress has already provided for I American participation in the Fan American Congress of Highways, (which will meet in Hio do Janeiro i In July 11129, and a definite jtro ; gram for connecting up tho Latin I American countries, tho United States and Canada, with "n broad paved highway, will in all . prob j ability be adopted at this session. ! "Uuildihg of sueh a highway," !say8 the national motoring body, ! "will be perhaps the most impor tant physical step ever taken hy a 1 group of nations to promote nui Itual understanding, encou rage i travel und to bring about an inter- mingling of national ideas with re jsultant benefit to all the countries, .involved. j "Recently there has been made 1 i public the report of the committee ion foreign affairs of the house of 1 representatives dealing with H. .1. i i Hos. 25! which authorizes assis- ; tn nee in the construction of the proposed highway." This report i follows in part: l "Tho construction of the pro posed highway, or highways for itbey will naturally radiate in sev jernl directions, especially In South j America may seem like some thing dreamed of, hut without h i doubt this d renin, vast as it is, will : some day be realized. We even 'hope that it may not be long do ' furred. There Is both Tan Ameri can sentiment In favor of it and an economic demand for it. ".Many years ago James (I. Klaine, conspicuously, proposed a 'similar project in the form of a Pan AmericHii railroad. Hut at ; the present, time the world Is thinking in terms of automobiles and motor trucks, which have in pa rt at least su perseded rai Irond 1 transportation, und so the big international project now natural ly takes i he form of a highway for such new forms of transportation. "Not only will this highway be used for automobiles und motor : trucks but it' will serve those who in the future will travel and trims port matter by air routes. With this purpose In mind the proposed 'highway will be of such, width 'that It will fit miv nnlnl nnd ut unv lime afford landings for airplanes that may bo compelled to deecend for safety. It will also serve us a marker, for those .who travel hy air. Recently Col. Charles A. Lindbergh was able to blaze his own way across these trackk'tfi spaces.
