WAR LOSSES ARE COMPARED
Investigator cues statistics of Indus
trial Accidents Here.

BERKELEY, Cali Dec. 16.-Ac-
cording 10 statistics presented by
Prof G, T.. Brooks Of the University
OF California. America has not yet
learned the lesson Of safety First"
In California alone $4,000 indus
trial accidents were reported in the
course Of one year, 700 of which were
fatal This means that at least two
men are killed at their work every
day in this state.
In the United States as a whole an
average OF seventy thousand workers
are permanently crippled every year.
and seven hundred thousand are in
jurod severely enough tu lose at least
one months working time.
These figures compar, with lossoS
sustained bp any one country in tho
European war
Professor Brooks attributes the
large number OF accidents TO the
American habit OF speeding up and
failure of many employers To install \
safety devices Most uf the injuricS
occur near the end Of the day, when
the workers are tired. Monday al
ways shows higher percentage than
the rest Of the week, due, Professor
nrooks asserts, to Sunday cclebra-
tions.

"TED" SMASHES RECORD
Meredith Clips 2-5 Seconds Off Indoor Record For 500 Yard Distance Caldwell Gets First Defeat.

New York, Feb. 9.-Two brilliant performances in a series of events which were marked by high-class competition featured the annual in door games of the New York Athletic club, held last night in the armory of the TWenty-second Corps of Engt- neerS.
 James E. CTed) Meredith, captain of the University of Pennsylvania track team and worlds record holder for 8SO yards, recorded the fastest time ever made for the distance in doors when ne defended his 1915 title in the Buermeyer 500-yard special, which brought together five of the 1leetest distance runners in the world. The sturdy Quaker lad, in administer ing the first defeat suffered this year by Dave Caldwell, the remarkable runner of the Boston A A, was clocked in 59 4-5 seconds, cutting two. fifths of a second off the best figures ever recorded, which he made himself last year in gaining the first leg on the Buermeyer trophy.
 Demon strating that his victory in the Millrosc A. A. sports last week was not a mere incident, and satisfying more than four thousand spectators that he is the greatest sprinter in the country, Howard F. Drew, the Univer- sity of Southern California athlete won the 100-yard special m fast time of ten seconds flat. It was contended that this is the fastest time ever made indoors for 100 yar7s, but Alvah T. Meyer, the Irish American A. c. sprinter, asserted that he ran 100 yards in 4-5 seconds in a Buffalo ar mory last year. In this race, however, Meyer was permitted to wear spikes, whereas Drew ran in flat shoes last night

In NToran's Favor.

There is one detail in Morans favor. He has been fighting, and thereby soaking up experience and the proper sort oftraining. Willard has fought one fight in two years. At the end of his first championship season his record is the weakest ever known to a champion. It is hard to see how he has improved to any ex- tent through the medium of one fight and there was the widest sort Of room for improvement. His bulk more than any other factor makes him formidable. He will have to im- prove 100 per cent. in the Battle. of the Seventeenth to prove that he be- longs with Fitz, Corbett, Jeff and the others.

Lee Magee and the YankS.

Those who esteem Smiling William Donovan and his Yankees and wish them success this season should take heart over the acquisition of Lee Magee.
 Physically, Magee looks more like Cobb than any other man in the same. On the field he hasn't the at tacking genius of Tyrus, but he is a grand ball player, and one who will lend 8 large collation. of Pep to his new clan, where Pep is greatly to be desired.
 Magee, in addition to his fine ability. is one of basebalPs leading Eustlers-a winning type-and the sort that Bill Donovan will find eX- tremely useful.
