CITIZENS DEMAND
TRAFFIC CHANGES.
Columbia Heights Association
Wants All Motorists Stopped
Behind Street Cars.

Taking cognizance of series of acci-
dents which have occurred at Four
teenth and Euclid streets, the latest of
which resulted in the death of a wom-
an. the Columbia Heights Citizens
Association at a meeting in the New
Amsterdam Hotel last night decided to
press its long standing request for more
adequate traffic control at that inter-
section. -,
While adopting a resolution calling
for amendment of the traffic regula-
tions requiring automobiles to come to
a stop behind stationary street car,
regardless of the presence of safety
zone" the association also appointed a
special committee to call upon the
proper authorities to urge installation
of traffic lights at Fourteenth and Eu-
cid streets.
Calls Zones Menaces.
George H. Brown, In introducing the
resolution, characterized the so-called
safety zones as menaces. and said per-
sons occupying them are in constant
danger of being struck by automobiles
passing on both sides of them. The
woman killed recently, he said, was at
tempting to cross from the sidewalk to
the safety zone to board a street car
when a truck ran over her.
The present traffic code does not re-
quire automobiles to stop behind a
street car where there is a platform
on safety zone.
The association also advocated the
placing of boulevard stop sign at
Tenth and Monroe streets. The COM
mittee appointed by Albert E. Westra-
ter, president, to take up these traffic
problems with the District Commission
ers is headed by j. Clinton Hiatt, chair
man of the Public Safety Committee.
Other members are Mr.. Brown, G. T.
Clayton and A. E. Stephan.
Following an investigation by spe-
cial committee of the Wilson Teachers
College, Eleventh and Harvard streets
which was recently vacated after being
condemned by engineers as unsafe, a
report on the situation was submitted
and adopted at the meeting. The COM
mittee consisted of w. I. Swanton and
A. B. Carly.
Would Register Engineers.
The association adopted resolution
urging enactment OF law requiring
the registration of professional engi-
neers in the District for the protection
of the public and the engineering pro-
fession.
Another resolution urged better post
office facilities in the upper Fourteenth
street area, asking that the branches
in that section remain open Saturday
afternoons and until a later hour each
night.
Ralph L. Thompson, librarian Of tbs
Mount Pleasant Branch Library, was
the guest speaker Of the association a
the meeting. He discussed How the
Library Serves the Public" outlining
the many features and facilities PLACED
at the disposal of the community BY
the institution. The circulation OF thu
library, he said, has increased tremen'
dously in recent months.

NEW YORK, March 22.-With no

Boussus had bowed to the New York
American indoor champion, Gregory
Mangin of Newark, 7-9, 6-4, 6-3

Borotra came through with brilliant
victory over Frank Shields, 6-S, 81

Mangtn played erratically in the first
set, but settled down thereafter and
BousSus never really was threatening
Shields, on the other hand, played his
best tennis in the opening set against
Borotra, but after that the French vet
eran easily was his master.
After tonight's doubles match, the
series will wind up tomorrow night
with two singles matches, Mangin play

the respite only gave Bobby a better

unbuttoned himself from one of the big
comfortable lounge chairs and staggered
to bed.
A holt hour later Joe Judge made
peculiar face at Bobby and tDent
out ON the Uerandd, admitting that
he tons whipped.
At midnight Bobby was sitting in the
big chair, nodding happy, happy smile.
It was one of the cleanest-cut sitting
victories won by any of the champion
sitters in this or any other base ball
training camp.
Even when Frank Baxter, frankie
"Burn-up" Baxter, the pinochle sharp,
slams his fist on the table as warning
that he has drawn hand the cat

stroll outside to look at the thermom-

days ago. They stare at the dial as
though they hope it says something so
they may call 1t prevaricator.
But this man Burke is the most dis

urge for three or four nights, Al Schacht

other sitters.

ut. PETERSBURG, Fla, March 81
Eddie Collins lives at Fort
Myers, but not at a hotel. He has
a house and each morning early
you are likely to see him about town
helping to do the marketing.
Collins thinks the Athletics are suffi-
GENTLY stronger to offset any strength
the Yankees may have added. He also
says that he has not heard any Of the
men discussing last years world series
but that he thinks the results OF those
games probably will make the players
more eager and ambitious to win this
season.
Even to an outsider 1t is plain that
the Mackmen are showing a lot OF a
terest in their work.
Tom Shibe seems to be sold on Ed
Madjeski, the young catcher. Every
one who has seen Madjeski work thinks
he has big league future. He is a
powerful, active youngster, with plenty
of talent.
One of the best-looking young fel-
lows in the camp of the Mackmen Is
Wilbur Dumford, the rookie pitcher
from Beckley, w. Va. This tall right
handler is a handsome chap and a
pretty good pitcher, but inexperienced
He probably will be sent somewhere for
seasoning, as will Ed Cihocki, the young
shortstop from Harrisburg.
DURT HAMMOND, recruit catcher
- from Rockland, Mass, used to play
quarterback for Villanova. He also
is some relation of Dan Howley, man.
ager of the Cincinnati Reds.
Hammond still likes to talk foot ball
He was much interested when told that
six Of the boys out for Spring practice
at Miami University came from Salem
High School. He said that Salem had
great eleven a couple Of years ago
and we agreed that the boys must like
the Miami climate.
Bill Friel of the st. Louis Browns tells
a good story of Beals Decker, once with
the Giants. When Becker got into q
feud with an umpire he didn't keep
after him on the field, but If he hap
pened to make a hit which scored a
run he would manage to walk in front
Of the bench Of the opposing team.
Tough breaks you are getting today, u
I made that hit. That blind man out
there called one right over the middle a
ball. He must have q bet on U.s."
Before long. to his astonishment, the
umpire would find the other team
climbing on his back.
Beals Decker probably learned that
trick from John McGraw. It Is just
the sort of things the old Orioles used
to do. They always played both ends
against the middle and never over
looked bet.
DAN HOwLEY, manager Of Cincin-
- natl, says: walter Berger of the
Braves Is the hardest right-hand
hitter in base ball. You can talk about
any of the others, but when that big
fellow lands squareIy on a ball, it stays

Bill McKechnie, manager Of the Bos-
ton Braves, says: Where did any one

six of the National Leagues defeats
have been charged to the Braves.
The only clubs with perfect records
in the interleague series are the New
York Giants and the Phillies, both of
the National League. They each have
accounted for two straight wins.
A tabulation of all exhibition games,
whether against major or minor league
opposition, reveals the Cleveland Indians
and Chicago White Sox as the only
undefeated teams. The Indians have
won seven straight games and the
White Sox three. all against minor
league teams. Washington has won four
and lost one and Pittsburgh eight and
two.
The Yankees record of six wins and
one defeat is the best so far as strictly

For instance, Roy Vangraflan, the

casino games with Al Schacht, Walter
Johnson's personal victim at pinochle,
the other night arose in his wrath to
declare the world, including Billy Smith,
Ossie Bluege, Clark Griffith, AL CroWder
and the kibitzers, had congregated
against him.
The roar and the racket ichich

stssippi Fire Company No. 2, Whose
members inquired for GdUice as to
