Moriarty Is Success

George Moriarty has definitely
proved that umpires are able to man
age major league ball clubs COM
petently. His debut in the big show
must be classed as a decided success.
The few Umpires who took whirl
at the managerial game were none
too successful and when Owner Frank
Navin turned the Detroit club over
to Moriarty the wiseacres agreed that
one year would be about his limit.
Getting away to a bad start, due
to a tough break in the weather as
well as many injuries to his stars,
things looked mighty blue for q
time.
Moriarty frankly admitted manag.
ing was a tougher job than umpiring
explaining it by, saying the umpire
worried for only two hours daily while
the manager had "a hours. of it.
Ten games below the 500 mark
at the first of June, Moriarty finally
got his system properly installed and
the Tigers have been stepping fast
ever since.
If Detroit can finish second
it has more than a fighting
chance-Moriarty deserves to be
clasSed as Notwithstanding new
pilot in the American league.

Taylor Seeks Divorce

"Buo" Taylor, generally regarded
as the bantamweight champion, ap-
parently is suffering from a rather
peculiar complex.
In ring circles, Taylor is known
as a fighting fool, the best at his
weight. Yet the wires the other day
carried the report that he was seeking
divorce from his wife on grounds
of cruelty.
There is nothing unusual about
divorce, and the charge OF cruelty
is a common one. However, it seems
rather incongurous for champion
fighter to offer that as an alibi for
cutting the family ties in twain.
Bantam challengers should take
courage from the above admission
of fear on the part Of young
Mr.. Taylor.
Ball Regrets This
Every time Charley Root of the
Chicago Cubs scores a victory, as
write these lines he has % to his
credit, 1 can see Phil Ball, owners
Of the Browns, gnashing his teeth
and indulging in few favorite words
of profanity.
AT present. Charley Root is the
most efficient pitcher in the majors,
TIe has chance to win 80 ball
games. And just think of it, for a
period of three years he was the
property of one Phil Ball. whose
club never was worse off for pitchers,
George Sisler, when manager of
the Browns, traded Root to Los
Angeles for the battery of Lyons and
Rego, neither of whom made the.
grade in the majors.
| Maybe that is one of the reasons
why George Sisler will not be
one Of the four players who are
to be retained from the present
st. Louis lineup, according TO
Phil Ball.

D. c. TRAFFIC CODE
NOW BEING STUDIED
HarIand Starts Work on Rec
concentrations - Would
Stress Essential Rules.

Recommendations for simplifying and
condensing the Districts traffic code
were started today by Traffic Director
William Fl. Harland. The recommen-
dations will be submitted to the Com
missioners for their consideration, to-
gether with 40 proposed changes in
the regulations, which were urged by
M. o, Eldridge when he was director
OF traffic.
Mr.. Harland explained that it is his
idea to remove from the primary Sec
ton of the code such mvinor reguia'
lions as those which designate one
way streets, parking limitations, etc.
and insert them as an appendix. A
person studying the traffic regulations,
according to Mr.. Harland's theory, is
more concerned with the basic and es-
sential rules governing the operation
of a motor vehicle, and the inclusion
of the minor regulations designating
one-way thoroughfares and parking re-
strictions, in the main section OF the
code. as is now the case, merely tends
to confuse the student. Moreover. he
pointed out, all of the minor regula'
lions relating to parking ana one-Way
streets are indicated by signs on the
streets.
The traffic director said he did not
propose to include in the proposed
changes and regulations the one advo
Gated to allow vehicles to pass on the
right as well as the left. Passing on
the right rule is causing considerable
trouble in other cities, he declared, and
he desires to give it further study be
fore making the recommendation for
it's adoption in the District.

privately in Arlington National Gene
terry tomorrow afternoon.
Mr.. Luttrell. who was 40 years old

biles and during the World War this

progress of the craft from the time it
took off until 1t vanished over the sea.
1t was reported first sighted over
Watch Hill, r. l., less than an hour
after the start.
From then on steady reports of the
Journey northward were received.
The America started at a cruising
speed Of more than 80 miles an hour.
but apparently strong tail winds at
some part of the first stages or the
fight brought her speed to between
80 and 100 miles an hour, a rate in
dictated in the 1919 hours required for
covering approximately 1,4O0 miles be-
fore the plane passed out to- sea or
Newfoundland.
Has Plenty of Fuel.
Byrd carried 1895 gallons Of
gasoline, enough to feed the three
motors Of the America for a 42-hour
flight. In consumption tests the plane
used about % gallons an hour. Given
a favorable break in the wind, the
America should reach its destination
with considerable fuel left. 3,
While weather reports indicated a
disturbed area off the Newfoundland
coast, United States Navy weather
experts said unsettled conditions would
prevail. for about 800 miles out and
from then on favorable winds of vary
ing intensity would be encountered.
Adverse conditions prevailed during
the night although the darkness was
shortened to less than five hours by
the planes progress against the sun.
Better Conditions Expected.
Experts calculated that Byrd would
encounter daylight in about midatlan-
tic with favorable winds of varying
intensity. Indications were that un-
settled weather over the British Isles
and western France should move to
the eastward sufficiently to give
Byrd clear weather in making his
landfall and clear weather for his
night landing.
At the Americas hangar at Roose-
Welt Field, Long Island, weather re-
ports were anxiously scanned and
eager ears were strained for news
flashes from the plane.
T. Harold Kinkade, motor expert
who groomed the America for its
hop, left yesterday for Europe. 1t
was generally believed his voyage was
for the purpose of preparing the
motors of the America for a return
flight. His destination was not an
nounced. The liner is scheduled to
arrive at Cherbourg Wednesday.
