LOS ANGELES TO HAVE
NEW LIGHTS FOR SAFETY
Night Collisions Cause Move to
Protect Big Dirigible and
Planes From Accidents. 80.

AS a result Of narrow escapes from
collisions at night between mall planes
and the Navy dirigible Los Angeles, 0
new system of experimental naviga-
tional. lights has been installed ON the
big airship, according to a notice sent
out by the AeronauticS Branch, De-
partment Of Commerce.
The dirigible's running lights have
been changed from fixed to oceulting
or blinking lights. The four side lights
and two stern lights are turned on two
seconds and then are dark one second.
The two masthead or top lights are
lighted five seconds and then eclipsed
two seconds The candlepower of al
running lights has been increased from
IL to 81.
In view of the frequency Of the
night flights by the Los Angeles az 3
part of the training program in prep4
aration for the delivery to the Navy Of
the two giant dirigibles now under COM
StruotiCn at Akron. Ohio, the problem
OF adequate illumination to prevent
collision has been the subject Of con.
siderable study. It Is believed that the
blinking lights not only will be more
likely to attract the attention of pilots
but will serve to identify the ship and
warn pilots to give her wide clearance.

HEIGHT TESTS STUDIED

Effect on Human System Sought
by Army Air Medical School.
Test flights made to determine the
effect of high altitude flying on the
human system with and without oxygen
breathing equipment are being studied
by the Army Air Corps School Of Avi-
alton Medicine. The flights were made
at Kelly Field, Tex, by Lieut.. o. p.
Weyland. pilot. and Lieut.. G. I. Ferris,
observer.
The FIRST flight was made without
oxygen. the second with full breathing
equipment. Both flights were made to
an altitude of $4,000 feet, the plane re-
naming at that altitude for one hour.
During the fight the observer per-
formed certain experiments and record
ed their effect upon himself. The
results are now under study.

FFHAND dom remember what sports
~ page Emerson wrote for, but he did
say something once about not count
y ing a mans years until he has moth
ing else to count.
If you will look at the averages of big league
ball players some week end, you must realize
that Emerson knew his ivory. For, behold
there are sundry patriarchs upon whose
shoulders dotage already has begun to perch
and they are right up there playing plenty of
ball that counts in any mans league.
There names there of men who have
been playing bah in the big show enough years
to make very respectable penitentiary sentence
for manslaughter. And there are enough of
them to make up an all-star Old Gents team
with an average age of 81 years for the players
and 40 years for the pitchers. The pitchers
seem to last longer.
Side by side with the graybeards of base
ball are the names of those in whom youth
flames, and in this group number of boys
who have not yet begun to scrape the peach
fuzz off their chins. Looking at the averages
shown in the tables above you get fair idea
of these youngsters ability as compared with
the proficiency of grabbed age.
The players of the youthful team average %
years in age. the pitchers 81. The batting
averages of the kids are better than those of
the ancients, but in game of ball how would
the youth clubs fare? Youth will be served"
say you? Or do you agree with the other
great sports writer, maybe it was Clandanus,
who spake ALAS! the slippery nature of tender
years."
DE that as it may, some of the pitchers and
infielders on the Old Gents team were
playing in world series ball games when the
youngsters of the other team were just start
ing to school, Thus Eppa Jeptha Rixey
pitching in the world series of 1915, and at
that time Master Melvin OFT, the Giants home
run hitter extraordinary, was just six years
old! And Jack Quinn, venerable sage of the
Athletics was pitching ball in Connellsville,
Pa. five years before Wesley Ferrell, ace Of
the Indians mound staff, was born
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-07-27

Youth has the better batting and pitching
averages, as shown in the tables above, but
against this you must balance an experience
gained through years of campaigning, skill
and knowledge that help to offset the fire
of youth AS an example of this, we have to
60 back only to the world series of 1926, when
Grover Cleveland Alexander, then senile
fellow of 80 wild Summers and hectic Winters,
held back all the power of those swishing
Yankee bats.
A T leadoff position on the Old Gents team
is Patriarch Charley Jameson of the
Cleveland Indians. For IS years he has been
knocking around the big leagues, IL years
with the Indians. In the years since he has
worn the uniform of the Tribe, his seasonal
batting average has fallel shade below 800
only twice, and his all-time mark in the majors
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-07-27

is .3O4. This year he started out by blazing
his way to the top of the league in the first
two weeks of play. After weeks of illness, dur
ing which time recruit was sent to his job
in the sun feld Jamie came back and has
been playing a great game ever since. Always
a great outfielder, fast and keen on the bases
with great eye for base on balls, the little
fellow from Paterson, N. j., would be fitting
leadof man for the Old Gents nine.
Week after week, all during the present sea-
son, the name of Sam Rice of the Senators has
been well up among the first five batters in
the American League. For several weeks he
was clouting above 400, and it was due to the
potency of his war club as much as any other
factor that Washington remained at the top
of the league ladder so long. Sam is a good
outfelder, but in comparing his outfielding
merits with Babe Ruth, we have decided to
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-07-27

put the Babe in center and Sam in right,
though many of you fans may not agree with
this arbitrary assignment.
RABE, with SO years and giant frame rest
ing on those spindly legs, goes on and
on, crashing the apple out of the park and
giving as good an exhibition of fielding as you
would care to look at. The Babe may not be
able to beat Sam Rice in foot race, but
think his fielding ability has been overlooked,
perhaps outshadowed by his swatting power.
Babe Ruth is a very good outfielder. His
Judgment of fly balls is marvellous. He can
cover the ground because he knows where to
start from, and for years he has made the
job of right-f1elding in Yankee Stadium look
easy because he knew where to play for every
batter in the league.
Compare this outdeld with that of the
youngsters-Ott, Berger and Seeds There
seems to be no need to ask which would func-
ton better-the old-timers have the edge Two
of the yunger outfelders, Seeds and Berger
are as yet rockies, with great promise, true,
but still wearing the brand of greenness.
The other outfielder, Melvin OFT, already
wears the mark of greatness. Though only 81,
he has been with the Giants four years, coming
to McGraw from Gretna, La, while he was yet
wearing short pants.
Last year was his first full year with the
team, however, and he batted 1928, knocking
home runs all over the place. In his four
years he has plaJ Jed in 391 games, not counting
this year, compiling batting average of 1923.
The other day he was hitting 35l. His fielding
has improved enormously New York writer's
