Girl, l7, Stars in Center Field
 For Hiqh School Baseball Team

Griswoid, la, May 20 (UP)-What Babe Ruth is to the New York Yankees, Alice Buckman is to the Griswold High school baseball team "a drawing card that packs 'em in" and swells the treasury.
 But there is gloom in the Griswold camp at that. because Alice will be graduated this year. Widespread publicity last year after someone found her playing on the team, had made the Griswold team much sought after. the regular schedule being augmented by exhibition games this year. And the school athletic funds have mounted in di- rect ratio to the girl stars popular ity.
 Alice is IT and holds her position on the team through merit, having cinched her berth long before the world found out about her ability on the diamond.
 This week she and her team mates played a double header with the Adair high school team, winning Loth games, 3 to 2, and 4 to ?. In the two games Miss Buckman, who is lead-off man" was up eight times and got four hits. She also figured in two double plays from center field, one of her throws cut ting down a runner who tried to score on 8 long fly.
 When news that a girl was playing regularly with the Griswold team reached the world at large, Alice, surprised at the hubbub, asked what of it? Why shouldn't she play? she demanded. She had played "alley ball" and then regular high school ball since she was able to swing g bat or shag fly.
 This year Alice Is going better than ever, according to Bill Morri- son. her coach. Her batting aver age thus far is about 1850 and she is fielding her position in much bet ter form.
 "I moved Alice from right to cen ter field this year." Morrison said "She has been doing much better
 job than before. She is 8 better judge of fly balls than last year There aren't many that get away from her."
 At bat Miss Buckman isn't fence
 buster, but her hitting is timely, and she seems to have the knack of put ting the ball in virgin territory be- tween the infield and the outfield
 She bats right handed and takes 8 free full cut at the ball. Alice doesn't ask any favors of her

Philadelphia District Attorney Nofs At Reports Gang Leader Sought
 Sanctuary in Jail.

Philadelphia, May 20 P}-District Attorney John Monaghan declared today that any attempt to have "scarface AT Capone, Chicago gang leader, freed from the Holmesburg county prison here would be con- tested strenuously.
 With his bodyguard. Frank Cline. the gang chieftain was sentenced to one year in jail last Friday after they had pleaded guilty to carrying loaded pistols.
 Monoghan's statement was made in reply to reports from Chicago that Capone's friends were planning legal fight for his release or the lessening of his sentence.
 The prosecutor declared that state ments that Capone had submitted to arrest to escape threaened death al the hands of rival gangsters had merely added romance to an or dinary incarceration
 It is an unheard of proceeding, he said, flor a person who has plead ed guilty to file an appeal and ask for a new trial. But if it is at- tempted on behalf of Capone We will contest the appeal to the bitter end, If l have my way. Capone will stay in the county prison until his term expires"

COLLISION DAMAGE BECOMES HEAVIER
Increase Noted in Destructive
 Effect Of Auto Accidents

Automobile accidents are increas- ingly serious in result although the collision rate is not advancing as rapidly as the growth in car reg istration and use.
 Traffic hazards are multiplying in proportion to the increased use of automobiles.
 Careless and reckless operation is still the outstanding cause of acci- dents.
 Seasoned" operators. the most efficient in theory. are the chief of- lenders, but women and minors, the groups with the best records in the past, are losing ranking because of more frequent accidents. Increased mileage for these groups is the pri- mary contributing cause of poorer driving records.
 These conclusions are reached by Miss Ethel Usher, statistician of the state motor vehicle department. aft- CT a study of all Connecticut acci- dents in 1928 and comparison with statistics of other years. She has made the results of her study the subject of the current monthly bull letin of the department. issued to- day.
 Comparison Of 1927 and 1928
 That accidents are increasingly destructive is apparent in the com parative tables presented in the bull letin. In 1928, there were 466 per sons killed and 12,797 injured by motor vehicles in this state, while the property damage exceeded $2.- 900, 900. All of these totals are above those of any year. The pre- vious high figures were In 1927 when 356 persons were killed, Ill., 979 injured. and the estimated dam age was $2.760,O00.
 Traffic hazards are increasing" says Miss Usher both because of 8 greater number of registrations each year and much greater use of motor vehicles as evidenced by an increase of 7.7 per cent in registra- tions and 13.5 per cent in gasoline consumption for 1928. The acci- dent increase is 2.5 per cent. which may be due to improvement in av- craze driving. indicating that all ef- forts aimed at reduction in accidents have not been in vain."

ConmerciaI Car Records Blackcr

ComnaeGc1al Car Records Blacker In analyxing the records of driv- ers Miss Usher finds that tho op- orators of passenger cars and mo- torcycles arc showing . real de- crease in participation in accidents while those operating all other types of cars except .usses show increases. The rate chart indicates need for more effective effort to inn prove the record of operators of commercial cars and public service cars, particularly tho busses which have record of nearly as many accidents as registrations in . year. A comparison of the average mile- age of busses and other types of vehicles fails to show . sufficiently greater number of traffic hazards to warrant this condition.
 Apparently the owners of cars are loaning them more freely than formerly or are demanding less of the operator. A note of warming must now be sounded else there will soon be a departure from all past records. The women and sixteen and seventeen year old operators should study their group records and take heed lest they lose their now enviable record.
 Intersections Collision Traps
 "The intersections of streets or highways continues to be the favor ite spot for collisions. Each inter- section or location should be given thorough and scientific study by the traffic authority to determine the proper traffic direction methods for that spot. All other locations in the highways have shown a smaller contribution of accidents except the straightaway, which shows a considera ble increase. As always the increases occur on the good road surfaces and in clear weather. An exception to former findings, but a
