JOHNSON May
SET ANOTHER .
new RECORD
Has Chance to Lead Hurler3
Three Times; Two
Is Limit
BY BILLY EVANS

Walter Johnson, with so many
pitching records to his credit that
ne needs travelling auditor to keep
track Of them, threatens to add an
other very important one to the long
list.
Since the inception of the Ameri-
can League. no pitcher has ever
achieved the distinction Of leading
that organization in games won more
than twice.
This year, Johnson, one of the
four pitchers who has twice topped
the twirlers, is in fair position to
again show the way.
With l2 victories in his first l6
starts, johnson has been the main
stay Of the Washington pitching
staff. If he can continue his consist
ent work he is certain to score 20
victories, possibly 25.
The great Rube Waddell, now dead,
was the first pitcher to twice top
the American League in pitching. His
record was the best in 1902 and 1906.
Bender Exception to Rule
1t is the unusual for a star pitcher
to have two big years in succession.
Chief Bender, now assisting Eddie
Collins in handling the Chicago
White Sox, proved an exception.
The willy Indian is the only pitch
er in the history Of the American
League to lead that organization
twice in succession. Benders big
years were 1910 and 1911.
Carl Mays was the third pitcher to
enter the select quartet Of stars. He
was the leading twirler in 1917 and
again in 1921. Last season Mays
passed out of the American League
but enjoyed a big campaign with
Cincinnati in the National.
There was long wait between
successes for Walter Johnson to
twice top the American. johnson reg
istered his first triumph in 1913.
He scored again in 1924 after a lapse
of IL years.
Policy of Harris Gets Results
Johnson followed up the good
work by his sensational performance
in the final game of the world
series, which won the title for Wash
ington. He came through after twice
failing to win.
Believing that he had seen his best
days in the majors, johnson planned
to retire last fall Circumstances
forced him to return to Washington
or give up the game as big Lacquer.
1t was indeed fortunate happen
ing for Washington, for Johnson is
having one Of the best years Of his
ca""er.
Manager Stanley Harris is pur-
suing methodical course with john
son and is getting wonderful re-
suits. Walter is seldom If ever call
ed upon for relief work and always
gets three or four-day rest be-
tween starts.
Ii would be great climax to
J0hnsOn's remarkable career if he
were to achieve distinction held
by no other American League pitch
er, the honor Of leading that organ
ization in games won, three times.

|GRADE CROSSING
SAFETY TACKLED
A. A. A. Head Urges Adoption
of Standard Signal
of Warning.

Adoption of uniform and standard
signals for the highway traffic con-
troll at railroad grade crossings
throughout the country is being
urged as one of the practical means
of reducing the toll of death and in
jury at these death traps.
The Hoover conference on street
and highway safety has been called
on by Thomas p. Henry. president of
the American Automobile Associa-
ton, to put the question of protect
ing grade crossings on the principal
highways in the forefront OF its pro-
gram for the coming year.
Grade crossings in the United
States totaled 246,161 in 1924, and of
this number 20S,6sS were wholly un-
protected by signals. automatic gates
or gatemen. The casualty list for
this period at crossings was 2,149
killed and 6,525 injured. of which 80
per cent involved automobile acci-
dents.
Four Steps Suggested.
The suggested program for remedy
ing the hazards of grade crossings
calls for four major Improvements
first, the installation of standard sig
nails for traffic control and watchmen
wherever possible; second, smoothing
out the approaches to the the cross
ings so that steep grades and sharp
tnclineS that endanger operation of
motor vehicles at critical moments
will be eliminated; third improvement
of the physical condition of the cross
Ing itself to prevent stalling of ma
chimes and to aid the operator to
watch for approaching trains, and,
fourth, development of a plan by
States fpUnS cn6 fppnYonpf4tec
whereby they may cooperate with
railroads to eliminate grade crossings.
mo attempt has ever been made to
secure Standardization of grade cross
ing signals, and yet here Is a practical
field where little effort on the part of
safety forces will save hundreds of
lives each year" President Henry of
the A. A. A. declared.
II believe" he said. that the es-
| ltablishment of a we'll worked out
standard system Of signals, together
with the standard fixed warning and
| direction signs which the joint COM
mittee OF the Bureau of Public Roads
and State highway officials are devel-
| oping, would prove the most effective
means, other than separating the
grades. Of reducing the hazard to pub
! lie safety.
| IF we concede that the only ulti.
| mate way TO avoid grade-crossing ac-
cidents is TO separate the grades. then
start should at once be made on the
most dangerous of them. We are con-
stantly told that IL will take 5000
000.0 900. or some such huge sum, TO
separate all the grades. OF course, we
realize that II will take time and

AFFECTED BY FUEL.
Engines Go From One Extreme to
Another.

Almost every motorist has noticed
that for no apparent reason at all an
engine will run from one extreme Of
performance to another, although
everything will seem to be in proper
running order. Many owners lately
have tried making different adjust
menrs of the carburetor when noting
engine peculiarities. but without
success.
The answer to this perpleXing prob
lem lies in the fact that the engine is
subject to the vagaries of the fuel
used in automobiles. 1t doesn't take
any particular experience In driving
to know when there is water in the
gas, but the newer and more compli-
Gated peculiarities of gasoline can
cause no end of perpleXity. One of
these is the too we'll rounded intake
manifold. which encourages conden-
sation of the gas at certain speeds,
thus reducing the mixture to nearly
straight air momentarily. The engine
gives a little buck, or skip, for no
apparent reason.

Cars Seek Speed Levels.

Zach car has a speed at which 1T
travels best and with the least amount
of exertion. This speed varies with
the condition of the car. the load car
ried and the road. Any car will tend
to seek it's speed level IL given a
chance. When allowed to drag, or
forced beyond its speed level, the car
will not produce its best gas mileage.
