Little Story About Rules for

Il there q baseball fac In the city
who does not know Nick Altrock?"
Here's story about Nick that
was told not long ago in the cellar
of certain washington newspaper
man. during the evenings wake"
which illustrates how far behind the
times our little home town IL in the
matter Of traffic regulations govern
ing the crossing Of streets by pedes-
TRANS.
b 1t was during the spring trainins
season for the Washington ball club.
Nick, with his little fiock," had
hied to the sunny South to boil down
his prospests for the seasons PEN
nant. Atlanta was the city on the
bottom of their railroad tickets, 80
they got OF the train. Soon the mob
was snugly tucked away in their
little nests nursing their hopes and
ambitions. Nick. accompanied by
the sporting editor OF a Washington
newspaper, started out one bright.
balmy morning to inspect the VIII
lage and list thirst loungesAtAis 10
the first assignment OF. the news
paper man in a strange town-or
was-now he catalogues the cellars.
Their search had progressed about
two city blocks when Nick spied a
sigma. big glass with a collar on
1t and five cents painted under II.
With their mouths open and their
tongues hanging out they started
across the street - both lived In
Washington and had never been city
broke. II seems nearly bowling
over the sturdy trafic cop standing
beside his ''Go-Stop" signal as they
went. They had nearly gained the
far corner of the street. after dodg-
ing a half dozen autos and brushing
a street car, when the frantic
screaming of the cops whistle and
the hating of the trafic brought
them up with q Jolt. They looked
around: the cop. waving both arms
in the air. was headed for them on
the run.
"where'd you birds learn to cross
street" yelled the cop. taking out
his little book"
You've broken all the trafic regu-
lations in Atlanta"
Report down to Number One in the
morning"
Nick started to explain, but there
was no explaining, they had broken
the law and were about to suffer the
consequences. It was at this juno
ture that the shy little Newspaper
man piped up with We're from
Washington. mister. we didn't know
about crossing the street at intersec-
tons. We belong to the ball club"
For a long while the cop nibbled at
the end OF his stubby pencil. y
Well" the cop grinned, TIN
something of a fan myself and seeing
as to how you're from Washington
and don't know about crossing tic
streets. I'll forget II this time. but
1t won't hurt you to go back and
cross the corner squarely." So our
two Washingtonians. who had never
heard of such a thing as n trafic
regulation governing the use OF the
street by pedestrians. meekly learned
by actual practice that the safest and
best way to cross at Intersections is
TO cut 1t at right angles instead OF on
the bias.
