THE GREAT SAFETY MOVEMENT

The Annual Safety Congress held
in the city of Chicago September
e 80 to October 4, with an estimated
attendance of 1000, was the great
est world gathering ever formed in
the interest of accident prevention
and conservation of life.
Three hundred and fifty-four
safety authorities addressed those
present, and total of 1875 sessions,
a condensed university course in
public, home and industrial safety,
was held. The past, present and
future Of the subject was dis
cussed in all its phases to prepare
for intensive work during the COM
ing year.
The Importance of this Congress,
and the work it signifies, cannot be
oyer-estimated. If the United States
has crying need today, it is for
safety knowledge and a safety con-
seriousness on the part of the public,
The terrible toll of accidents in the
home and in industry, and because
of automobiles, must be lessened.
Many of the best minds today are
working toward an ideal of safety.
Carelessness, incompetence, ignor-
ance-in these three words is con-
tanned the whole problem of safety
There are few unavoidable acct
Adents. Practically every sudden
cath means that someone has fail
j in his duty, or has proven himself
k6t, or has lacked necessary pre-
stationary knowledge. 1t is COM
fnendable, endeavor to direct the
public toward sound ideas of safety

A world series doesn't mean as
much in a baseball way as a lot OF
people think, either. A five or six
game series isn't the real test OF
ability. The team that gets the
breaks wins, even though the other
team, over the length of the season
might be superior Take the
Yankees, for instance. We lost to
the Cardinals in 1926, yet I think
most baseball men will agree that
we were a better team.
Then in 1927 we defeated the
Pittsburgh Pirates in four straight
games. And it's a certain cinch that
We weren't chat much better than
they were over a seasons play. Not
by a whole lot. The same thing was
true last year.
All of which is just more reason
why no team should be installed a
favOrite over another in a world
series.
One team may go into the series
IN the midst of a wild batting spree,
or in the midst of a slump. A team
with ordinarily strong pitching
might go into the series with a
couple of pitchers off form. Or,
on the other hand, normally weak
pitchers might have one of those
unusual days and pitch shutout ball.
You can't tell a thing about baseball
and especially you can't tell a
thing about a world series. Any
thing may happen and usually does.
I don't think this will be any four
game series. 1 look for it to go at
least six games and perhaps seven.
Right now it's an even money bet.
Nothing more and nothing less.

NEW YORK, Sept. 19.-One Of
baseball's misf1ts for seven seasons
Lewis Albert Fonseca, who went tc
the Cleveland Indians 1929 training
camp uncertain Of a job, is within
striking distance of the American
League batting championship.
Almost unnoticed throughout the
season, Fonseca is battling Al Sim

in close three-cornered race.

Fonseca has been bothered by in
juries during most of his major
league career. He attributes this
season-his greatest in baseball-to
the fact that he has not been both
cred by serious injuries and that
he won a regular place in the Cleve-
land infield early in the season.
FonSeca lost several valuable
points Wednesday by getting only
one hit in seven times at bat in
two games against the Yankees,
while Simmons collected four hits in
eight trips against the Browns. The
standing of the three leaders is:

Fonseca rates the five best hit
tiers and five best pitchers in the

3-LazZeri. 3-Ferrell.

said Fonseca. There is little to
