Lelivelt Sets
League Record
for Putouts
Former Buffalo Manager
Headed Off 1903 Drives
During 1921 Pennant'
Scramble.

Ino MENTION Jack Lelivelt
new manager OF the Tulsa
= Western League club, is TO re-
call his reeord-breaking assault on
Western league pitching last season.
IL is recalled that he set worlds
record by slamming out 274 saieties
in 100 games with Omaha, that he
established a new league mark for
doubles with 70 and led the circuit
with batting percentage OF .4l6.
Blu, that is only part OF the story.
While covering first during 1921. he
made more putouis than any player
in the history OF the Western. Koer-
ner OF Wichita was quite hero in
1918, when he stopped ,733 in l6@
games. but last year the veteran
Leivelt headed off 1903 in just two
more games. He also led the league
the year before.
Always il is the first baseman who
gets more putouts than any other
player on the team, and here are the
leaders for every year since the
Western league was born in 1900 to
the nrcsert.

surpressing the Blockade Runner

y the old days smuggling was an illicit
adventure which professional romanti-
cists loved TO play upon. and a sort OF
gamor wes thrown about the business by
the graphic artists who told us the stories
OF hair-breadth escapes, of wild risks and
manifold thrills. But the traffic in contra
band goods OF other times was mere chld's
play compared to the rum-running that is
now practiced against the prohibition and
customs laws OF the United States.
Liquor smuggling has become a carefully
organized and skillfully executed business.
Where thousands Of dollars were involved
before, hundreds OF thousands arc now in
volved. Where cathoat enterprises then
flourished, ocean liner projects are beinE
carried out. Where a few men here and
there took their lives or liberty into their
own hands, hundreds of men on both sides
OF the Atlantic are engaging in the delivery
TO American consumers OF vast quantities
OF liquor.
Rum-running has grown to such proper
lions thRH domestic enforcement officers
are practically powerless to deal with the
problem. They confess their helplessness.
once in while they capture cargo of
wet goods after il gets within the three
mile limit and parade the fact with appro-
shipments of wet goods are being success

and the feeble patrol knows that II Is un-
able to cope with the vioators OF the law
1t was for this reason that the Treasury
Department officials appealed to the State
Department for help. These officials COM
planned that a niggardly Congress refused
TO appropriate enough money to guard the
coast against liquor smuggling and that the
only means of keeping liquor out would be

state was urged to negotiate agreements
with foreign governments which might dis

Secretary Hughes has undertaken these

upon them with any great amount of en-
thusiasm. 1t is probably Notifying to him
to admit to foreign governments that the
United States Ia unable TO enforce a do
nestle prohibition law without interna-
tional conferences and compacts And 1t is
probably the more notifying IN view OF
the fact that vast majority Of the violators
are not foreigners, but citizens of his own
country.

might BIO connscnted. This fear would
seem to have been allayed by recent deci-
sions OF tho Mexican Supreme Court inter-
pretfng the article in question.
Article xvii. OF tho Mexican Constitu-
ton provides that subsoil rights Of all Mex
lean oil properties belong to the govern
mont. No satisfactory assurance that this
article might not operate retroactively and
result in the confscation of American prop
erty had ever been received by the State
Department, though President Obregon had
announced that II the article was held by
the Supreme Court to be retroactive, he
would induce the Mexican Congress to en-
in the property acquired by them. The
Washington government has insisted that
this obstacle be definitely removed before
extending recognition. In the meantime.
the State Department has been busy trying
to remove such other obstacles as stand in
the way OF recognition.
To hasten the recognition to which Ii
feels 1t Is clearly entitled, the Obregon gov
eminent has Just forwarded to the State
Department the text OF five decisions by the
Mexican Supreme Court, said TO esta blieh
definitely that the article in the Constitution
referred to is nonretroactive. These de-
cisions are represented to give the requj ed
assurances, and If this be true, the State
Department likely will announce recogni-
ton OF the sister republic as entitled to
all OF the privileges OF ene i;snily Of ma
lions. That action will stimulate re-
cprocity OF dealings between the two coun-
tries that will be to the material advantage
OF both.

Danger!

wv HAT does a red light mean? What
w green light? What a yellow light?
A sketch of an evenings adventures of
John Doe may serve to illustrate the nlogi-
cal nature OF our unstandardzed signals.
Mr.. Doe drives his car to railway cross
Ing at grade. He knows the crossing is
there. red light flashes along the road.
1t means stop. The gates are down: a
train Ia approaching. He stops
Further along he catches up with tho
automobile of Richard Roe MIR. Roe's
car has red tail lights. Does this signal
mean stop? II does not; II means proceed
10 the left II Mr.. Does car Is to be passed
Another grade crossing is approached.
Mr. Doe does not know IL Is there. He
sees q red light To him It ia the tail
light OF another car; he passes TO the left
and breaks gate. or his widow collects
his insurance. 1t happens every day, and
all the railroads know of the frequency
with which gates are broken on the side
that Is left TO the driver.
Mr.. Doe reaches town and goes to the
theater. There is an alarm of fire. He secs
red light. Does 1t mean stop, like the
red light at the grade crossing? 1t does
not; II means go ahead with speed. II
would not be unnatural for Mr. Doe to
avoid the red danger signal which in this
case means safety.
Assuming he escapes from the theater,
Mr.. Doe engages hotel room and goes to
bed. There is another FIRE alarm. He dashes
to the corridor, and finds tho exits 10 the
street marked by garins red lights which
are supposed to be the danger and stop
signal
The American Engineering Standards
Committee proposes to unity lighted signals
so that the same color will mean the same
thing to John Doe every time At recent
conference between tho Illuminating En-
gineering Society and the International
Traffic Oftlcers' Association. the railway sig
nal engineers presented certain recommep
daaons Briefly stated. they comprise a
proposal that the red light (stop.) shall
mean stop everywhere and under all cir
cumstances and be used for no other pur-
pose. except when qualified with colors IN
dicating more favorable conditions: that
yellow (caution!) shall be used for antonio
hile tail lights. and possibly for street ex-
cavations that green lights ego aheadD
shall be used for oil hotel. factory and
theater fire escapes and for proceed signs
at street interseetions.
Tho conference developed the fsst that
