MANY CRASH CROSSING GATES
Ono Barrier on Long Island Railroad
ls Broken Every Day-Drivers
Want to Beat Trains.

Thousands Of motorists annually
smash through gates at railroad
crossings in the United States. This
fact indicates two sides to the grade
crossing argument
On the Long Island railroad, which
has only 400 miles Of track, one grade
crossing gate Is broken practically
every day in the year by motor driv-
ers who attempt to "beat trains to
crossings"
In the last year there were approx
mately 300 of such accidents on this
line alone, according to T. P. Brennan.
safety agent. From August 10 to 20
of this year there were Is such mis-
haps on this road, resulting in inju-
ries % many persons. One was killed.
Railroads of the United States are
in campaign to cut down accidents
of all kinds. Including those at grade
crossings. Motorists are asked to en-
ter this campaign and aid in making
our highways safer by constant vigi-
lance.
"How in the name of heaven" said
Mr.. Brennan, "can the Long Island or
any other railroad render safe and
prompt service to Its patrons when the
public highways are infested with
motorcar drivers who refuse to exer-
else caution when approaching rail
road grade crossings, who gloat over
the fact that they beat the train to
these Intersections and who are daily
apparently willing to sacrifice not only
their own lives but the lives of those
| intrusted to their carer"

to WaShingtons victory.
Mack also caught Hank ODay when

There is nothing particularly note
worthy about Mack's playing career.
and in two of those years he played
In less than fifteen games. The only

he caught 123 for Buffalo in the
Players League. His lifetime bat
Mack began his managerial career
as playing manager Of the Pirates
In 1894. and remained there until
1896 He then took charge of the
Milwaukee club of the Western
League and remained with that club
when the Western League expanded
into the American Lea que, in 1900.
In 1901 he. shifted his activities to
Philadelphia, where he won six
league pennants and three world
championships. However. much OF
the luster has been taken off Mack's
record by his showing in recent
years. when the Athletics broke all
major and minor league records by
finishing eighth for seven years in
succession. Last year the Athletics
finally emerged from the basement,
rising to seventh place. This was
due mostly to the wonderful mound
work of Ed Rommel, the hurler, who
won twenty-seVen and lost thirteen
games for pitching percentage

half of the teams victories.

Total, II years
BY FREDERICK Il. LIEB.

@ORNELIUS McGILLICUDDY,
I better known to the fans OF
the. nation as Connie Mack,
belongs to the type OF mediocre
players who won fame as managers.
Pat Moran. Lee Fohl, Branch
Hickey, Fred Mitchell and Bill Nc
kechnie are the other examples Of
obscure players making good as
managers.
Mack was not u great catcher or
hitter, but he was one of the smart
est Of his time. Always student
of the game, Mack began figuring
out inside plays, when base bail still
was a crude sport. with everybody
going up to the plate merely to take
sock" at the ball.
Connie is the oldest manager in
the game, as he is sixty years of
age. but he remains full Of youthful
optimism. At sixty he feels he has
the framework of q new champion
ship team and the zest of new
pennant campaign is upon him.
Mack was born in Brookfield. Mass.
in 1862, and began life as a shoe
maker. He started his professional
career with Meriden. Conn, in 1884,
