DEATHS FROM S. P.
CROSSING WRECKS
SHOW DECREASE
1922 Report Says Z Per
Cent Less Killed,
But More Hurt

Fatalities resulting from accidents
to automobiles on grade crossings
of the Southern Pacific Company in
1929 were reduced seven per cent.
according to a report just issued by
r. j. Clancy, assistant to the gener-
al manager. There were 953 acct.
dents in 1922, compared with S46
in 1921, resulting in SO deaths and
316 injuries, compared with 81
deaths and 2S3 injuries in 1921. The
number of automobiles in the six
states from which the figures are
taken increased from SSS, 1854 in 1921
to j, 1885 in 1922, an increase of
25.5 per cent in the number of reg
istered automobiles.
The report shows that the great
est number of grade crossing acct
dents occur from automobiles run
ming on railroad tracks directly in
front of approaching trains, and 480
of the accidents reported resulted
from this cause.
Danger in crossing railroad tracks
at grade crossings is, according to
the report, usually due to the driver
not exercising u reasonable degree
of precaution. The essential thing
is for drivers of automobiles to stop
look, and listen, and never attempt
to shift gears while on, or immedi
ately approaching the tracks, as ii
is when gears are shifted that the
machine is likely to stall.

Legal Boxing
Now Hangs in
the Balance
BY HENRY L. FARRELL
United Press Sports Editor

NEW YORK, Feb. 20. - Boxing
all over the country in large part,
depends on what happens to the
sport in New York. If the present
period of unrest results in repeal Of
the Walker law, as has been threat
ened, it will mean simply that box
ing can not and will not be q nice
game. If the Walker law cannot
make decent sport of it, it is not
sport and it should not conducted
as such.
The Walker law represents the
thought and deliberation of wise and
experienced minds. 1t covers every
technical ground as no previous law
ever has done. 1t controls every
thing but the greed of boxers, man
ayers and promoters and that is i'm
possible to control.
After some sac experiences with
Battling Sikh, the French Boxing
Federation said the sport needed
closer supervision in Paris and that
they We're going to follow the lead
of the New York boxing commits
sion. New York is looked up to
the same way in this country and
if the game dies here, a lot of box
ers will have to look around for
some other line of business, as there
will be little doing in the ring any
place.
William Muldoon. chairman of the
New York commission, has made
some mistakes. Some of his rulings
have been the cause of mirth and
ridicule, but he didn It make any
mistake when he issued the edict
that a boxer committing foul
would not be entitled to collect his
purse. There has been only one foul
committed since that edict.
Two members of the American
Olympic team for 1924 have already
been announced. Joie Ray and Bob
McAllister have announced them
selves as members of the track and
field delegation that Uncle Sam will
send to Paris. The boys are conf
dent, if nothing else. But the nice
part about it is that the committee
to pick the team no doubt will agree
with them.

tiOn to the hundreds of exhibits of
the fruit, there were many others
of jams, syrups, marmalade, pastry,
and preserves, all having the orange
as their basis, and all arousing the
, appetites of the hungry.
In addition to the orange show
proper, there is q wonderful INDUS
