ABOLISH GRADE CROSSING
Railroad to Erect Safe Overhead
Structure at Woodside, L. |.

one of the most dangerous crossings fo-
Automobiles In the vicinity OF the CITY
Of New York, on Thompson avenue at
Woodside. Will be eliminated as result
of compromise effected last week by
Borough President Connolly with the
Long Island Railroad. Numerous acci-
dents have been narrowly averted at that
crossing where il is estimated from lO'ooo
to 10000 automobiles pass daily
All of the trains of the Long lsianu
Railroad. both TO and from the Long ISL
and City and the Pennsylvania stations
pass the crossing daily at the rate OF one
every two minutes. Four watchmen are
on duty constantly. but even with this
protection il is felt that the automobillsts
are not absolutely safeguarded against ac-
Cidents.
Frequently long lines of automobiles
are compelled to wait for passing trains
and last week during the international
polo matches as many as two or three
hundred machines were held up there at
one time.
In accordance with the agreement
reached between Borough President con-
molly and the railroad ofncials, the rail-
road Is TO construct at its own expense

the tracks The bridge will cost between
$4,000 and $4,000. ard will support all

for which another route has been az
ranged by the borough officials. The rail-
road company has hesit:ted about IN
stituting this work until the proposed
permanent improvements were made
there. but the traffic has become so great
that il was deemed advisable to give
temporary relief. Work on the consruc-
ton Of the bridge will be commenced
soon. and 1t is expected that it will be
completed by August AS soon as the
plans are approved by the city engineers
they will be given out.

tory and notes closely, cannot fail to
discover that nearly all the pennant
winners of previous years have had
one catcher on their roster who has
done the bulk of the receiving through
the previous season.
Sullivan caught the most games for
the White Sox when they copped In
1906. Schmidt was king bee receiver
for the Detroit Tigers in 1907. King
was the man most prominent behind
the bat when the Cubs turned the PEN
nant-winning trick in 1"oS. Gibson
did the heavy work throughout l9VO,
the year Pittsburgh came out first.
Meyers was the whole show III 19l2,
when the Giants won out.
This fact leads immediately to the
question as to whether, or not 1t Is
better for one catcher 10 do all the
work or to distribute the receiving
equally among three or four men
Also ii tends to cause one to surmlse

from the standpoint Of experience, 10
be the best. Still, there are argu-
ments both ways. 81
One side contends that to have one
player work all the time tends 10
wreak havoc with the club II he should

that some receivers handle one pitcher
better than they do another Lastly
II is declared that catching day aIter

Opponents to this side reply to the
first argument to the effect that II
arrely happens tor ono eacher, DONG

very long time, and that the otneI
catchers are well able to take care OF

jim HOAO Showed
P DOR FORM
IN ring.

Although Walter Kilsner earned the
decision over Jim Hoao in the ring al
the Liberty theatre Saturday night by
a wide margin, his friends and back
ers had nothing much to brag about
when Referee Frank Dillon made the
award. Jim Hoao, who has been out
Of the ring for many months. showed
no class at all, being slow on his feet
and lacking aggressiveness, and nao
Kilsner been strictly on the job he
could have stopped him before the
full route had been travelled, or else
come out OF the mill with less points
scored against himself.
Toward the latter part of the fight,
however, the soldier hurt his right
hand, and this undoubtedly slowed up
his punches TO some extent. He has
a habit of seeming to loaf in the ring,
and he had SO much on Hoao during
the early rounds that he could afford
10 take things easy without the chance
OF losing the decision, unless the Ha-
waiian put across lucky k. o. punch,
which was highly unlikely.
Hoao simply would not lead. and
when he did venture blow on his
own account, he usually delivered. 1t
while in the act of jumping away. His
right eye wac closed early in the mill,
and before the fight was a third over
he was bleeding freely from the nose
and mouth. Kilsner, on the other
hand, went through without a mark,
although his damaged hand was prob
ably far more serious than Hoao's dis
figured countenance.
Hoao made his best showing toward
the end OF the fight. In the tenth
round he landed three good blows in
succession, and might have been fig
ured to have shade the better of the
round. In the eleventh he was also
more aggressive, and for minute or
so his supporters were given a ray
OF hope. 1t was only a flash in the
pan, however, although in the final
round Kilsner's slip down. which
came right after short lead by the
Hawaiian, was mistaken by some for
knockdown, and brought forth big
hand from the Hawaiian's supporters.
Donovan Hard Nut.
AS predicted by some of the ring
fans, the semi wind.up between Dono-
van, Of the End infantry, and Harris
4th cavalry, was the best mill of the
|scvening. Donovan knew that he had
been in real fight, when Sergeant
Afaher. who refereed both prelims,
stopped the min In the eighth, and
that Is more than can be said Of the
infantryman's previous ring encoun-
tiers here.
Harris was full of fight, but Dono-
van was just little more scrappy In
the exchanges, and the cayalryman
was pretty badly marked up in the
early rounds, bleeding freely from the
nose and mouth. He was really not
Is badly off a he looked, and it was
q big surprise to some when Maher
stopped the fight There was some
money up on Harris to go the limit,
and this he could undoubtedly have
done.
Had Maher reversed his rulings, by
stopping the first prelim. between
Wahilani and Roundtree several min.
utes before he actually did, and keep
ing his hands off the Harris-D Donovan
engagement, he would have come
nearer doing the right thing.
The Wahilani Roundtree mill was
all in favor of the latter, and was
Istopped by the referee in the third.

final score being II to Z.
Castle had good day, and his
shoots and benders proved too hard a
puzzle for the soldier swatters TO
solve. He was touched for six hits,
which he kept well scattered. A pair
OF the runs scored were due to a
dropped fiy In the outfield, which
should have been an out.
Clark started the game for the Off

eight errors by the opposition, ac-
counted for their top-heavy score.
