Unless the motorman is exceedingly wary
there will be street crossing maimings,
collisions and a daily massacre of iuno-
cents. The fewness of trolley accidents is
one of the wonders of city life. In our
opinion it is the highest tribute to the
efficiency of the motormen. Those hard
worked public servants deserve that so
much should be said of them.
1t is inevitable that as long as trolley
cars shall be run and as long as men.
women and children shall ride upon them,
or attempt TO so about in the streets
without riding upon them, there viii be
grievous accidents. Human recklessness
and human carelessness are persistent fac
tors that must be contended with. The
mass of people are probably as fully edu-
Gated, as possible in a knowledge of the
perils of the street growing out of cleo
trical traction. But has there been a suf-
ficient study on the part of traction COM

makeup of motorman2 He should be

and ready-minded, He should have perfect

too long hours of labor. Before putting
the keys of life and death in his hands
all these things should be carefully consid-
cred The motorman who smashes things
is not only public danger, but financial
peril to his ernE.f sas-. The best man is
the cheapest.
The advent of automobile vehicles upon
the street when every man who owns one
may become his own motorman, or may
choose some other possibly incapable for
the task, involves a new form of danger
to the public safety. 1t is inevitable that
new rules should be laid down and en-
forced to secure the capable management
of these machines and their right Of move
ment on the streets as a new form Of loco
motion involving no ineonsiderable hazard

STANDING OF CLUBS.

IF we get over the Wheeling series
all right, we'll capture the pennant,"
was Capt Jack Glasscock's remark be-
fore he played the first game with
Wheeling. you team is our hoodoo,"
he added.
Jack appears to have sized the sit
uaticn very properly. Whether it is
because it is a hoodoo or not. the fact
remains that Wheeling has outplayed
Fort Wayne on the home grounds, as
the club has outplayed every other
team here under the new regime.
Glasscock was up against it yester-
day, and the team played harder against
him on account Of his authorizing the
statement in the Register that he would
not play yesterday. He appears to
have changed his mind in the morning
Jack must understand by this time,
that his knowledge of the game, ex-
tending as it does over an active base
ball career Of about quarter OF CEN
fury, does not make him the whole
cheese.
The hearts Of the Fort Wayne players
We're broken in the first inning, when
Wenig, the sausage twirler, was touched
up for enough safe Lifts to net six runs.
The team came as near quitting as it has
at any time since it was organized. There
was not much ginger in the work of the
visitors after the slaughter in the first,
and it was not until the eighth inning that
Parvin allowed them to get runner over
the plate. One more lonely run was added
in the ninth, while Wheeling had in the
meantime piled up an even dozen by time
ly hitting and good work on the bases.
Glasscock will put "Cy'' Swain in the
box this afternoon. The long-legged twirl-
er got his bumps when he last essayed to
pitch in Wheeling, and he is anxious to re-
deem himself Wells will probably oppose
him on the rubber. and very interesting
contest may be expected. The Wheeling
boys have their eyes on the ball, and all
pitchers look alike to them at the present
writing 1t will be ladies' day.
