WINTER HAVEN, Fla, March /.
'"The best looking bunch Of
pitching prospects we've had
since I began managing the club
: five years ago."
Standing back of home plate
Burt Shotton. manager of the
Philadelphia Nationals. made this
enthusiastic comment as he
watched his pitchers go through
their spring training PAGES.
IA Pitchers in Camp
Fourteen pitchers and four
catchers toiled for two hours un-
der the rays of hot sun and
enjoyed it. The battery men are
here in advance of the infielders
and outfielders who will be drift
ing in this week. The pitchers
and catchers have been at it four
days. Says Shotton:
II have four starting pitchers
this year, something never
had before. They are Jim
Elliott. Ray Benge, Phil Collins
and elise Dudley. Elliott Is a
sOuthpaw, Collins, Benge and
Dudley righthanders.
"Out of the ten rockies I've
got to get five more pitchers.
You can see they are all big
strapping fellows with the ex.
ceptiOn of two, and that makes
me optimistic. I like my pitch
erS big. The two outstanding
rookie pitchers are Ed HOlley
and Roy Hansen. I think they
have a fine chance to make
the grade"
Holley was purchased from
Kansas City, Of the American
Association. He is 80 years old,
six feet one inch tall, weighs
1876 pounds and pegs right
handed. Last year he won IA
and lost IL with Kansas City.
His best season was with Louis
vile in 1925 when he won 81
and lost 4 games. His home is
Chicago.
Hansen, also a Chicagoan. is a
southpaw, 6 feet 2 inches tall, and
weighs 1856 pounds. He Is only 23
years old. He first played ball as
a semipro in Chicago. He was
with Dallas last year under op-
ton by the Phillies. With Dallas
in 1881 he won II and lost 7.
Hansen can pitch, but he can't
hit. He estimated his lifetime
batting average at 67s, the size Of
his hat.
Develop Legs First
Manager Shotton is forcing his
pitchers to develop their legs be-
fore their arms. They have to
play pepper" a bunting and toss
ing game, and do a lot Of run
ming around the park. Shotton
says if a pitchers arm is good
and his legs bad he can't pitch.
The battery men working out
are Pitchers Elliott, Collins, elise
Dudley, his younger brother, Harry
Dudley; Holley, Hansen, Bolen,
Woodington, Watt, Grabowski,
Fallenstein, Nichols, Hargrove and
Benge, and CatcherS Davis, NC
Curdy, Todd and Connell.
Coach Jack Onslow and Scout
Patsy O'Rourke are assisting in
the daily workouts. 3

Sh0tton Calls PhiIs Box Prospects Bright
JaIIos Makes
Good Threat
To Win

A slashing eightround bout be-
tween Louie Jallos, Cleveland
Greek lightweight, and Bobby
Burns, Baltimore scrapper, proved
the saving grace of the boxing
program at the Ritchie Coliseum,
attended by over $500 customers.
The rest of the card, with the
exception of the Vince Forgione-
Eric Lawson duel, offered little in
the way Of excitement.
Jallos made good his threat that
he would whip Burns in this, their
second, meeting. The Baltimorean
was given the victory over Jallos
in match at Alexandria, Va,
two weeks back, and many fans
claimed 1t should have gone to the
Greek.
Burns Is Game
The Greek left no room for
doubt last night. He outpunched
Burns, got inside his defense
often and clubbed Burns at in
fighting. Burns barely took a
round, but was dead game, en-
during a withering fire in the
fifth and eighth rounds.
Lawson was adjudged the win
ner over Forgione after eight vi.
cious rounds. The Norfolk, Va,
light-heavyWeight, a light Taper,
piled up points on Forgione in the
earl. rounds. The Philadelphia
shifted his attack to the body in
the closing rounds and these
punches slowed up Lawson. Some
of Forgione's low smashes were
questionable.
Mai Event Dull
The main event of eight rounds
involving Dick Welsh, 121, of
Norfolk, Va, and Mkt Gelb, 1877,
of New York, was dull as both
appeared counter punches and
neither would do the leading,
while Welsh seemed held back by
Gelb's weight advantage. Gelb
was given the unanimous decision.
The decision to Billy Strickler
over Al Trainor, Philadelphia
middleweight at the end of eight
rounds brought boisterous COM
plants from the clients. The
opening four-rounder between
joey Schwartz, Baltimore bantam,
and Pete Powell, Norfolk, Va,
was voted a draw.

NEW REFINING METHODS
OF OIL MATERIAL BENEFIT
Less Wear, Increased Acceleration
and Greater Mileage Among
improvements.

Improved methods of refining crude
oils and gasolines in recent years have
gone far to decrease wear, increase ac-
celeration and lengthen the mileage
per gallon of the average automobile.
Modern science has developed anti
knock compounds which have been ef-
fective in minimizing knocking Lu-
bricating oils today give better service
than ever before. Moreover, refining
methods have even gone so far as to
defer the rate of deterioration of gas
oline.
Unlike some liquids which improve
as they grow older, gasoline suffers
from age The older gasoline gets
the less volatile it becomes, the more
likely it is to form resinous substances
which in time interfere with the oper-
alton of the motor. Moreover, gas
oline which has been stored for any
length of time under certain condi-
tions loses much of its anti-knock
quality Scientific refining methods,
however in many cases, have served
to reduce this effect. This plus the
fact that the larger companies have
splendid distributing systems and sell
dom store gasoline for any length of
time assures the motorist of fresh gas
oline at all times

DRIVERS LICENSE LAW
is HELD BEST CONTROL
Vice President of National Safety
Council Says Examination
Insures Some Training.

The best method of control Of auto
mobile drivers yet discovered is proper
drivers license law, according to Ed
ward A. Dana, vice president of the
National Safety Council. The exami-
nation of all new drivers insureS at
least a small amount of training, Mr..
Dana says, and the suspension Oh revo-
cation of license is the most effective
kind of discipline.
"A few drivers are accident prone
because of physical or mental defects
poor eyesight or hearing, epilepsy and
the like A much greater number Of
accidents occur either through lack OF
skill or through a faulty attitude which
we call carelessness. The remedy for
lack of skill is training The remedy
for faulty attitude is training and dis
cipline. Employers who have gone the
farthest In accident reduction insist on
careful training of all new drivers and
re-training of those who have had ac-
cidents, backed up by discipline where
needed.
Private drivers, on the other hand,
are largely se!f-taught The majority
have managed to adjust themselves to
the increasing speed and strain of mod
ern traffic. Some, however, have not,
and their unsafe habits (of which they
often are unaware) are one of the
chief causes of accidents Definite
training in safe driving is urgently
needed, both for these experienced but
unsafe drivers and for those who are
inexperienced. Training methods must
be worked out as carefully as for any
other skilled occupation.
Until the training of drivers be-
comes more general, we must depend
largely on pressure or control, through
law enforcement and public opinion"

Frederick and Hagerstown.
The Victory Highway. This is an
alternate road from the Lincoln and
the National Old Trails. One goes
north from Trinidad, Colo, to Denver,
or south from Cheyenne to Denver and
thence west.
This road is called to your attention
because it contains the most mag
nif1cent mountain-paSs roads in Amer
ica Leaving Denver, one plunges I'M
mediately into the Rockies, in the
center of which is to be found a great
level plateau Thence the road climbs
to height of 10000 feet, depending
upon which pass is taken over the
Continental Divide. Here one is sur
rounded by snow-capped peaks, even in
the Summer, and views are as majestic
as any seen in the Alps.
On the western edge the road runs
directly into the Utah desert, lonesome,
fascinating, but perfectly safe. 1t Will
be a two days journey from Denver
to Salt Lake, where the Lincoln High
way is met again. One may then con-
tinue to the coast over either route.
Both are good.
If going through st. Louis, one may
vary the National Old Trails trip by
turning southwest through the Ozark
Mountains and running through the
oil regions of Oklahoma. This Is
U. S. Sc and runs through Tulsa, Okla
homa City, thence into the Panhandle
of Texas, through Amarillo, thence
across the great cattle plains MADE
famous in Western novels and con-
meets with the Santa Fe trail near Las
Vegas, N. Mex.
If YOU wish to cross the country on
the road containing the most paving,
try the Broadway of America. TINS
runs through the South, is a hotter
trip in Summer, but is filled with
scenic and historic interest. 1t Is an
all-year-round road, is 1928 miles
from New York to San Diego, Caht- I,
of which all but 235 miles are paved
and the latter are hard-surfaced. This
route runs from New York through
Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington,
Roanoke. Va; Knoxville, Nashville and
Memphis Tenn; Little Rock, Ark;
Dallas, Fort Worth and Ell Paso, Tex;
Phoenix, Ariz., to San Diego Cam.
The latter is in the southwestern cor
ner of the United States and is l25
miles south of Los Angeles.
The special interest in this road lies

the border into foreign country where

acuteness which dictates that the Fed
eral Government may be forced to
maintain Federal-aid highways in some
States.
The profits of adequate investment
in maintenance of present highways
are too great to be ignored regardless
of the situation of economic stress which
unqueStionably exists at the present
time. says Mr. Cutler.
For one thing" he declares, "high-
way maintenance is natural field for
the absorption of local unemployment
in all parts of the country. These work.
ers can be recruited from virtually all
classes of those now out of work for
the field is one that primarily requires
energy and aptitude.
Value of Maintenance.
"The value of sound maintenance to
TRANSPORTATION should be sufficiently OBJ
vious to require no elaboration. With
the cost of traffic accidents estimated
at 5000 900, 900 yearly We are in an eX
cellent way to increase it by reducing
highway maintenance expenditures
which can only mean an increase in
operating hazards due to inferior road
conditions. We never will reduce our
tremendous accident cost by allowing
cur highways to deteriorate.
Those clamCring for reduction IN
highway expenditures overlook the fact
that other and greater expenditures will
be demanded of motorists as a result,
says Mr.. Cutler.
Bad roads, and that is precisely what
we shall return to without adequate
maintenance, cannot fail to add to the
Nations motoring bill They will bring
increased tire and vehicle repair costs.
They will increase the individual car
owners outlay for fuel and lubricants
and necessitate a larger investment OF
his time in any kind of motor trip
which he may make"
ANY deterioration in highways is
bound to be costly in still other ways,
the statement points out. Among these
are listed inefficiency in truck trans
portation, increased farm costs, vastly
reduced volume of motor touring, which
has built up a new industry within the
past decade. and an ADVERSE effect
upon public education, which has oene-
fitted enormously in recent years as
result of road construction which has
made school consolidation possible.
Present conditions demand that we
look the issue squarely in the face"
saws Mr.. Cutler. THE clamor Tor
economy easily can be carried too far,
and as it applies to road maintenance
monies, it already has created an acute
situation. If we allow it to continue
unchecked, our highway system faces
the prospects Of being set back years
in its development.
Some States may be obliged to post
pone construction, but the public's in
vestment in highways must always be
protected by adequate maintenance"

N VOW that the local schools are
over for the Summer months
VI it behooves every motoriSt to
drive most carefully so as not
to endanger the lives Of the
children at play. :,
Unfortunately, children. despite all
parental instruction, will dash out into
the streets. Vacant lots and play
grounds will not suffice at all times:
A ball may slip through the hands OF
one of the youthful players. bounce
across the sidewalk and into the thor
oughfare at almost any time OF the
day Nine times out of ten that ball
will be chased by the child regardless
of the traffic conditions.
He or she is only thinking Of posi-
BILE loss of the ball by it being run
over by a machine or roll into
sewer. So the unexpected run out
into the street is made.
Up to Driver.
It is up to the driver of the auto
mobile to be constantly on the alert,
particularly during these days when so
many children are at play. A good
rule for the motoriSt would be to slow
down every time he notices a group
of children playing. The loss OF
few minutes would more than COM
pensate the driver, who although legal
lv blameless might be involved in a
tragedy that never could be forgotten.
The American Automobile ASsocia-
ton. District division, points out that
adequate places be provided for the
children in which to play, and that
they should be instructed not to play
in the streets. All this is well and
good, but 1t is not sufficient. Children
by nature of their age are irreSponsi-
BILE: therefore it is necessary for the
automobile driver to make up this dis
cepancy by being most responsible.
A. A. A. Statement.
1t is stated that the school year
1912 established a most gratifying
record for improvement in the accident
situation involving school children, and
all indications are that there was
downward trend as compared to the
previous year.
Every effort" an A. A. A. statement
continues, should be made to preserve
this record during the Summer months.
One of the sureSt ways is to provide
places for the youngsters to enjoy their
new-found freedom and thereby keep
them off the traflc-laden streets.

remember the safety lessons taught
them, the basis of which is sef-protec-
tion others will be lost without the re-
straining influence of the A. A. A.
schoolboy patrols. 1t is these children
who must be safeguarded."
The A. A. A. club appeals to munic-
ipal authorities to see that Fairgrounds
are adequately supervised, that recrea-
ton devices are in good condition and
to also consider the advisability of
closing streets that are little used to
provide a place for skating Such an
interest in the safety of children of the
city will go far to prevent accidents.

Grave Menace Faced.

Motordom's huge investment in high
ways today faces a grave menace in the
sharp curtailment of funds for main
tenance and unless the situation is rec
ognized and Immediately corrected a re-
turn to primitive road conditions is in
evitable, according to a warning sounded
today by the American Road Builders
Association. Reports to headquarters CT
the organization from all parts Of the
country clearly reveal that the contrac-
ton in State, county and city budgets
not only has affected new highway con-
Struction, but portends serious destruc-
tion for those already built.
In launching a campaign to bring the
threatening condition to the attention
OF the Nations motorists, T. H. Cutler,
president of the American Road Build
