The driver never should change di-
rection or stop without giving a signal.
But he must remember that the signal
does not end his responsibility. and
that mehely signaling his intention
does not give him the right to do what
he plans unless conditions justify it.
"In pausing before crossing street he
always should stop behind the building
line. Common failure to observe this
rule results in pedestrians being held
up or put in jeopardy when they seek
to cross streets.
Never pass a street car which is
standing without stopping. as the reg
ulationS prescribe.

Truck Drivers Commended.

Lieut.. Headley has been giving spe-
oial attention to the big five, six and sew
On ton motor trucks recently and he has
found that drivers of these cars show
unusual care and discretion. 1t may
be when the speed regulations are re-
, yfsed that these machines will be held
to limit of eight miles at all points,
and that governors. TO keep down the
speed automatically to that point, may
be recommended for them. Within two
weeks Lieut.. Headley has stopped
esventy-fve or more of these trucks to
md whether the brakes are in good
condition. because their size and mo-
msntum make them especially danger
Gus II they are not under perfect con-
troll. In nearly every case ii was found
that the brakes worked well.
a third observation is that a large
proportion of accidents occur outside
the congested sections. In the down
town streets motorists are careful. and
the crossing policemen help to compel
Observance Of rules. But in the outly-
ing residential sections the tendency is
to speed up" and relax In watchful-
ness.
Basis of Safe Driving.
There are some points which are espe-
cially essential in making for safe
travel In streets. Lieut.. Headley and
eergt- Shelby pointed out, and they
urge more careful attention to these.
The basis of all safe driving is a
careful study Of traffic regulations"
they stated. And the motorist should
do this. not only to gain a theoretical
knowledge Of them. but he should in
Quire why each regulation is made, and
should seek to apply them under va
r1ous conditions. Traffic problems are
created by motorists. and motorists
must overcome them.
primarily the motorist should have
his vehicle under control at all times,
ana should never exceed the speed
limits. These are elementary rules.
IN turning to the left the driver should
pass around the center of the intersec-

Will Not Mean More Speed.

It is not expected that the other re-
strictions. including eight miles across
intersections. six miles around corners.
hfteen miles in parks. four miles at a
few intersections, and twenty miles
outside the fire limits will be altered
materially. Even the change contem-
plated will not mean more speed. II was
pointed out. for motorists now seldom
are taken into court for speeding as
long as they keep under sixteen miles
m hour unless they display gross care
1essness. When the new limit is fixed
It will be rigidly enforced.
The other step toward making streets
safer is the expectation that the Com
missioners will urge strongly upon
Congress at the next session the crea-
ton of a traffic bureau. with a captain.
q lieutenant three sergeants. and I'M
der this bureau will be the fifty-eight
crossing policemen. paid by the street
car companies. and the regular police
men assigned to traffic duty at cross
1ngs. of whom there now are eight.
Chauffeurs More Careful.
For some months Lieut. Headley and
eergt- Shelby have been making thor
ough study of traffic problems here.
with a view to recommending changes
in regulations which might help in
avoidance of accidents They have
found that. except for the changes
noted. little alteration is required in
the regulations They form the basis
these officials stated, and every effort
will be made to secure their enforce
ment and to train motorists in their
observance.
Some OF the observations SO far made
may surprise tho casual observer of
traflc conditions. 1t is believed that
ehAuneurs are much more careful. on
the whole, than owners of cars. Begin

Six Feet Between Cars.

Lieut.. Albert ]. Headley and Sergt.
William 5. Shelby. in charge of the
traffic for the police department, spent
most of the day in seeking to get own
ers accustomed to the new parking
scheme. The only difficulty arises when
drivers fail to observe the admouition
to allow six feet between cars When
they do that they make it hard for
cars to emerge from their positions.
Motorists viii be pleased to learn that
new regulations are in contemplation
which will extend the time. now only
fifteen minutes, which cars may be
parked in the restricted area OF the
downtown business sections. Recon-
mendaticns are about to be made to the
police superintendent for an extension
of this time. which has been the source
of considerable complaint among auto
mobilistS
Two other matters of Importance to
motorists and the public in general are
under consideration. One is the read
1ustment, in the near future, of the
speed regulations. This is to be done
after hearings by the Commissioners.
who are expected to set date for such
hearings as soon as the work on the
estimates are completed. II is expect
ed that the allowance for speed be-
tween crossings will be raised from
twelve miles an hour to fifteen miles.

EVERS MAY STICK TO TROY.
Talks of Putting an Independent
Team in Home Town.

Troy. y. Y, Dec. Johnny Evcrs
native Trojan, does not intend to
retire from baseball despite the fact
that a number of newspaper men
about the country have almost writ
ten him out Of baseball since it was
announced that he is a free agent
and privileged TO do business with
any club in organized baseball.
While Evers has not dickered with
any OF the major or minor league
clubs. it is a certainty that he is
not going to quit baseball for an
other year at least. Recently Evers
attended a smoker OF the knights
of Columbus council, and at this
smoker Evers outlined briefly his
plans for the 1918 season. IF I fail
to become a member of one Of the
big leagues or am unable TO obtain
managers position with a minor
league team, will not give UP base
ball." said Evers. IF nothing else
turns UP will operate an independ-
ent ball club in Troy in 1918 and
with no New York League baseball
I believe independent baseball will
be a success"

WRECKING blue ridge
Jamison's Circuit Headed for Cur
tain That Has Come to
Other Minors.

Hagerstown, Nd, Dec 2.-The blue
Ridge. down here In a cozy corner Of
the mountains, was not directly con-
Cerned in any of the plans advanced
at Louisville for reorganization Of
territory. We have no troubles on
that score. There is plenty of open
territory to. draw upon for any re-
organization of the circuit that may
be found necessary. But the Blue
Ridge has. i'm its short life. been going
through an experieu3 that probably
every other minor league has had at
one time or another since leagues
were organized. We refer to the pro-
blem Of compelling alleged sportsmen
TO keep faith with one another in the
matter of observing a salary limit.
There was not a great deal Of trou-
BILE on this score the first year OF the
Blue Ridge, though violations began
to develop as the race got into the
stretch. but last year there were fla-
grant offenses committed in the name
of the fans who demand that We
give them a winner or they will quit" q"
A committee had been appointed to
see that salary and player limits were
observed, and this committee had au-
thority to take action, but the salary
and player limits were stretched and
broken and everybody knew it, and
yet there was no action. The result
was that some OF the less prosperous
clubs were embarrassed and that
baseball has been damaged IL not
killed in them. One or two of them
say never again and the league Will
have to make certain subStitutionS
for its 1918 circuit.

.WILLIAMS-ERTLE GO
At baltimore DEC. II
New Articles Are Signed for Battle
Between Bantam-weight Kings.

Baltimore, Nd, Dec. Ats on!
To a set of articles which are now
preciously guarded by the Peerless
Athletic Club are the signatures OF
Johnny Ertle, the st. Paul sensation.
who claims the worlds bantam
weight honors, and Kid Williams, the
Baltimore Wolfe Boy, for a 12-round
decision battle at the LYRIC. this city,
on Monday evening, December H.
Since the announcement some time
ago that these comets of the batam
division had been paired, which was
quickly followed by the news Of a
postponement. there has been much
skepticism in local fandom. Williams'
sudden illness didn't sound just right
TO some and quickly spread rumors
that the Tiger BOY was playing the
game of a fox. The announcement
this morning khat the match is Of
hcally on has quickly killed on these
unfounded reports, which cut the
Baltimorean to the quick. 1t was,
indeed, an injustice. for. despite
Ertle's wonderful reputation and the
fact that already he holds a victory
over the Kid on a foul. Williams
main desire in life has been to meet
the Kewpie in a return engagement.
The Williams-Ertle bout has at
tracted more interest in local fandom
than any held here since the days OF
the late Joe Cans. Since it was first
talked of some weeks ago nothing
else has been on the lips OF the local
devotees of the ring sport and a
jammed house will greet the Nhttle
maulers when they enter the arena
on the evening of December II. In
quiry after inquiry has been received
by the club in regard to the date for
the mill and applications for seats
have deluged the management.
Williams and Ertle, recognized
throughout the country as the chief
thorns in the side Of Pete Herman,
will fight for the right to meet the
worlds champion in a 20-round strug-
gle for the title. AS soon as he learn
ed that the pair would probably be
brought together in this city Domi-
nick Tortorich, the promoter who
stages all the big struggles in New
Orleans. put out lines for a mill be-
tween the winner of the go between
Ertle and Williams and the wearer OF
the crown. Herman will be COM
PEELED to face the victor in the con-
test here or express openly his rea-
son for not doing so. There will.
however, be little trouble in getting
Pete to sign up. OF late he has cx-
pressed great willingness to defend
his laurels against the real contend
ers. The Peerless Club will also put
in a bid for a mill between the tri-
umphant gladiator in the important
local skirmish and the New Orleans
Italian.
Ertle has been training for some
time in st. Paul for his fracas with
Williams. The Kewpie's impressive
victory recently over Knockout Joe
Burman, the Chicago slugger, was
merely a tryout for the more import
ant struggle here. Williams will be
put to work by his manager. Dave
Warnik, in the next couple days. He
has entirely recovered from the all
ment which caused the bout to be set
back to a later date.
