 Crossing Work Halted
 Work of placing traffic buttons and making other changes incidental to the plan of narrowing Doolittle's railroad crossing. which was started by railroad employees yesterday. was halted yesterday afternoon by the snow storm. The signal lights. how ever. have been relocated and arc 1 now close to the tracks where they are visible from the five approaches. Burlington avenue, Pennington av- enue, North street. Judd street and Maple street. These lights were or iginally placed about 50 feet from the crossing and many autoist. see ing that they showed red to indicate an approaching train, paxsed them but stopped close to the crossing. A number of accidents have been nar- rowly ayerted by this procedure for the reason that two trains have oftentimes reached the crossing al- most at the same time and drivers have awaited only for the passase Of one train.
 IL is not believed that the new traffic arrangement provided for by the buttons will prove satisfactory. although the arrangement is to be given a thorough trial. Mayor W. Raymond Crumb and other city of- ficials have stated at various fimea that the only solution to the problem is to eliminate the crossing entirely by an overhead highway. Plans showing such an arrangement have been drawn. but the cost of doing the work is felt to be prohibitive by railroad officials. In the event the present traffic arrangement proves unsatisfactory. 1t is thought possible that an appeal will be made to the public utilities commission to have the crossing abolished.

SHELL. OILERS
CLINCH LEAD IN
NIGHT LEAGUE

Trouncing the Lingo team to the
tune of 20 to the Shell Oil team
took the lead in the FL Centre Night
Baseball league last night.
The Lingo boys started off in
good form running up slight edge
in the first four innings but from
then on the Shell boys had every
thing their own way. They hit the
ball hard and often and the game
was never in doubt.
POSTS three home runs aided the
Shell boys considerably.
The week s play was featured by
the victory of the Southern Sicrras
team over the Sciots, the third
straight defeat for the Stewart ag-
gregation, which went through the
first half of the schedule without a
loss.
The Shell team with nine victories
and three defeats is slightly favor
ed to crash through to victory in
the league race, with the Southern
Sicrras standing good chance to
win through to a tie and the Sciots
still having an outside chance.
The league standing to date gives
the Shell boys the edge but the
Sierras have two protest games to
play.
