TOUGH
FRIDA Y

If frankie Arragon and Joe Pims
.enthal live up to their regulations
as fistic batlers Friday night, FL
Centre mit5 fans should witness one
of the greatest scraps that has been
waged at the Arena in years.
Arragon, rc-appcaring at the
Arena two weeks ago after an alb
sence of almost l2 months, smashed
his way to an easy victory over
Billy West. frankie looked like n
different man in the ring. He had
poise, right mitt and seemed will
ing to mix at all times. He lacked
nothing and West was a badly beat
en- boy when he quit the ring.
But it will not be Billy West who
meess Arragon Friday night. With
all due respect to the game Pitts
burgh battler, who fought Arragon
every inch of the way, he was not
a match for the Mexican mitt sling
cr. 1t will be Joe Pimenthal who
opposes Arragon and in Pimenthal
frankie will meet a scrapper of his
own class, if not just little bet
ter.
Fimcnthal is fighting under Olym-
pic Athletic Club colors and when
one realizes that in recent battles
he has defeated boys such as Goldie
Hess and Benny Chavez little more
need be added.
Joe Contrcras Of San Diego will
take on the task of giving Andy
Brooks a lesson in the gentle art in
the semi-final. Contreras is picked
as a little "too good for Andy"
but the Z" Deacon seems to have a
knack OF slipping it over on some
Of The too good' boys. And
Andy is always threat as long as
he can swing an arm.
A rcmatch of the Jimmie John
son-Andrew Armstrong scufflc has
been arranged as the special bout.
These two boys gave fans an excel
lent exhibition to start off last
week 5 show.
Jimmie Butler, a San Diego sailor
boy, Will meet Robert Pacho, in tho

YANKEE HOPES
RESTING UPON
LOU AND BABE
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Oct. 3.-What will
Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig do in
he world series opening tomorrow
Int Yankee Stadium
The answer to that question is
also the answer to--who will win
the world series?
\ If Ruth and Gehrig go on hit
ting rampage, Yankee supporters
pre- not worrying about chances of
he New York club. They know that
he home run twins can carry the
Yankees, cripples and all, to another
'world championship.
The fate, OF the St. Louis Cardin.
als may hinge on how their pitchers
figure Ruth and Gchrig, If the Card
inal hurlers pitch to Ruth and Geh-
rig and do not walk them with men
Jon bases, the Yankees chances 10
win the series will be greatly in
ereased.
Grover Cleveland Alexander s
success in holding Ruth down in
lthc 1926 series has led the veteran
ito suggest to Manager Bill McKech-
snie that all the Cardinal hurers
pitch to Ruth and Gchrig.
Alexander figures that Ruth is
not as good as he was in 1926, and
believes that the Babe will not
break up any ball games in this
series if the pitchers do net give
him any "cripplcs" as Flint Rhem
and Herman Bell did in the fourth
game of the 20 series. In that game
Ruth hit two home runs off Rhcm
and one off lrll.
Although Ruth battcd 300 in the
'26 series, he did practically no
hitting against Alexander, Shcrdel
fand liaincs. He made one hit in
seven times at bat against Aexan-
Ger. lie made one hit off Shcrdel
IN six times at bat in two games. lie
also made one hit off Haimes in the
third game and homcrun off him in
the final game.
Gehrig hit better than Ruth in the
'26 series, batting .3Is and failing
to hit safely only in the second game
against Alexander and the seventh
against Haines. lie drove in the
winning run off Shcrdel in the first
game, raped out two hits in the
other game Sherdcl worked He made
two hits off Haincs in the third
game. He collected two hits off
lthem and Bell in the fourth game
and got a single off Alex in the
sixth game.

CENTRAL SQUAD
SCHEDULE FOR
COAST CONTEST

FL Centre grid warriors will jour
ney to San Diego Saturday wher-
they will stack up against the Sal
Diego, Glass b, football team.
While Central bowed in defeat be
fore Grossmont in the opening tusslt
last Friday the Z to 0 tally was fa:
lower than was expected. In fact
the Central boys were fortunate II
getting several breaks to hold Gowr
the score but they showed more
fight and ability than it was be
lieved could be instilled in a groul
of inexperienced players in two
short weeks.
The practice sessions this weel
have pointed toward the ultimate
ironing out of the weakness of the
team. They can not all be eliminated
at once but n. little better showing
against the San Diego team is eN
pccted as a result Of the stiff gruclI
ing metcd out to the boys during the
last few days.
The line has been the subject of
before the attacks of the Grossmont
players last week, the work of Evans
in backing up alone saving the team
from disaster early in the contest.
The boys were also somewha
stagc-struck in the opening game
The majority had never actually
played in a regular game before and
as a result they didn't get their wca
thcr legs beneath them until late
in the struggle.
The attack, save for a last minute
aellal furry, proved hopeless. II
was battered to the ground before
the backs could get into motion
But the defeat seems to have steel
ed the bows to greater effort and
should prove an. advantage. The
team has the two fundamental need
of a grid team, gamcncss and speed
The rest should come with training

CITES VIOLATIONS
Of SAFETY ZONES
Automotive Trade Director
Claims Motorists Frequently
Disobey This Regulation.

In singing out the provision Of the
trafIic regulations that is most COM
monty violated one must give consider
alton to that which applies to safety
zones. There are countless violations
of this part OF the code daily. and they
are to be explained only through the
ignorance OF the average driver Of the
letter and the spirit of the law.
This point Is made by Rudolph Jose,
automotive director and president of
the City Club. who declares that there
apparently are tens OF thousands of
local motorists lahoring under the i'm
preston that the safety zone is every
mans land" unless 1t is occupied. Even
In case 1t is occupied. there are some
ner OF the zone Is legal. or logical at
least, says Mr.. Jose.
Regulation Clear.
The provision of the regulation re-
lating to safety zones is clear and to
the point 1t reads:
mo person shall drive a vehicle in
or through any part OF any safety zone.
whether such zone be occupied or not"
ITO state the case any more clearly
Is manifestly impossible" says Mr. Jose.
Safety zones are closed territory to
motorists at all times. There Is not q
single exception to the rule. yet It is
not an unusual sight to see i1otorist
run through every safety zone on some
of the outlying boulevards. Take Wis
consin avenue, for instance. 1t is a
wide thoroughfare and at certain hours
Is virtually uutraveled. Yet even dur
ing such periods I and every other
driver who observes conditions. can re-
call seeing some Inotorist choose the
safety zones. of all the area available,
as his line of travel.
Such condition is to be ascribed
to but one thing. believe. That Is
ignorance 1t Is inconceivable that this
action could be sheerly malicious"
Robs Pedestrian.
The situation however, denotes seri-
BUSINESS. in that 1t robs the pedestrian
of his one potentially safe haven In the
streets. in Mr. Jose's opinion. At the
second Hoover conference on street and
highway safety. he points out, the dele
gates agreed that preserving the safety
zone inviolate at all times and under all
conditions was one OF the essential fac
tors in reducing traffic mishaps OF the
most serious kind.
THE white boundaries Of the safety
zone appeal to all considerate motorists
as out OF bounds markings" he says.
''Ths sportsinanship of the driver should
keep him where he belongs. 1t should
not be necessary for the police to stage
campaign to teach motorists their
places with reference to this provision
Of the code. The average man should
enforce IL for himself His failure to do
so Is inexcusable."

D. C. TOURISTS SHOW
TRAFFIC'S CONFUSION
Strangers illustrate Need for
Standardized Signals
and Rules.

Local motorists always can learn from
strangers, and such an opportunity has
been presented TO Washington drivers
within the past two weeks in q most
emphatic fashion Chief among the
lessons TO be learned Is that it lis def
nitelF Of value TO make an effort 10
learn the fundamentals of the traffic
regulations Of the city which one in
tends TO visit.
This opinion Is expressed By Rudolph
Jose. director Of the Washington Auto
motive Trade Association, who declares
that the motOrigt who failed 10 be an
gered by the practices Of the visitor, but
rather noted his mistakes and pondered
the cause for them. is headed toward
becoming a better driver himself.
With 80 many visitors In town dur
ing the Easter holidays, We have been
made distinctly conscious Of the fact
that quite few Of the most important
regulations were being violated through
ignorance. This contains a very irn-
portant lesson for the local car owner,
who sooner or later VIII become tour
1st on his own account The lesson. OBJ
yiously, Is that II will pay him 70 know
tFaff1c regulations Of the city OF cities
he wilI visit.
This was particularly evident in the
case Of the automatic traffic lights.
Doubtless every local driver noticed
one or several instances where q car
bearing foreign license plates cut into
the moving traffic 10 make left or
right turn on the red signal This Is
done IN many places. 10 the driver who
was guilty Of The violation vas giving
an illustration Of the need for uniform
traffic regulations.
Another valuable lesson 10 have been
drawn from Waghikgton's experience
oger the holidays, according 70 Mr.. jose.
ii that relating ~ the need for spirit
of tolerance and helplulness. 1t should
have been evident that the stranger
could not be made 10 understand where
he had biundeFcd, II the only effort 10
c0rrct him Was in the form Of abusive
shouting and yiCieat horn blowing. says
Mr. jose.
The only possible purpose that such
an attitude could serve would be 10 en-
baFrass and even further confuse the
tourist ignorant of Cur regulations" he
points out The point 70 be- renem-
bered Is that in like circumstances one
would moi relish similar treatment. TIM
