was to stop everything hit his way

Bob Hasty toyed with the Griffs
most all afternoon. though he never
did look formidable. When Rice hit
into double play with a liner TO
Galloway in the fifth, the Griffs had
lost their best chance to that time
TO get one run over. The score

Since Princeton has not been in

drawn as TO their respective
strengths, but it is a safe bet to say
that they are evenly matched and
weather conditions may prove the

1t is hoped that the wind viii be

In his first five appeannces on
the mound, Courtney's longest tenure
has been four and two-thiras innings
against the New York Yaikees, at
the Polo Grounds. His shotest was
10 pitch TO and pass two dackmen
in Washington, leaving OLf EriCk-
son the heritage Of jamntd sacks
and none out.
Adding up Courtney's sections OF
games on his first five Appearances,
IL Is seen that he has pthed nine
and two.thirds innings. This ap-
proximates ball game in length,
though scattered over as many days.
In those nine and twthirds In.
nings. Courtney passed ten bats

eleven hits for a total OF sixteen
bases and uncorked one Wild pitch.

Last year the tall soutfpaw was
thought to lack the physical stam-
ina to endure nine Innings. He
seemed good for sometimes as much
as five innings, then he would as
cend high into the air.
During the past winter Courtney
worked to add to his weiht snd
strength. He has apparently sue
ceeded. being heavier than list sea-
son. He was so anxious to prove
himself n major league pitchr that
he began training in early Feruary
in Washington. and was the trst to
head for Florida. This was TO be
his year.
It is because OF all this that presl-
dent Griffith and Manager Mila are
worried. - They have almost re,ched
the conclusion that Courtney WI not

and learn how to pitch.
Harry Harper showed similar Wild

pany. He went back to Minneapolis
for drilling and, on his return to
the Washington club, showed i'm.

Francis was sadly handicapped by
having Val Picinich catching him.
The young lefthander had oceans OF
speed, quite too much for Picinich,
who was having passed balls with
xreat regularity. Seldom was Francis
able to count on heaving his fast
ball, which had wings and remain in
Picinich's big mitt. 1t was always

PEDESTRIANS BLAMED

Regarding the remedy for
reducing the number Of
traffic accidents, wish to
say that from my own per-
sonal observation I find that
1t is more the fault Of the
pedestrians than the motor
lists
It seems to me that the public
should be educated how to cross 4
street. There is not one person out oi
ten that knows how and while 7 am
not in sympathy with speeders, still
It is not always the motorists fault
Il an accident occurs. Whenever an
accident happens the law should in
vestigate and II the pedestrian is
found guilty OF 'jay-walking" 1 think
he should be fined. Until the public
learns a machine cannot stop as quick
ly as pedestrians can there will bs
many accidents.

I would suggest that all
automobile manufacturers
install a speed governor in
their motors, such a device
to permit a maximum speed
of whatever is permitted on
country roads, and then,
with the shifting of a lever
for the purpose, the gov
ernor could be adjusted to
a speed limit within the city.
