number of young Americans.
That is my main thought in look
ing ahead to an exceptionally inter-
esting year for base ball. Getting
down to cases. expect to have my
greatest year of watching base ball.
not only because I know our league
is part of a great manifestation OF
reviving enjoyment in healthy out
door life on the part of the public
throughout the country, but because
I'll be concerned vitality in the Ma
tional Leagues battle-tides, instead of
occupying a critics seat
Our league is fortunate in having
probably the most colorful as well as
competent assemblage of players in
its long history. The leagues sixtieth
birthday will be next February and I
feel sure our sixtieth year will go into
the annals as one of the banner sea-
sons Of all time.

n YEW YORK, April 13.-My IA

year for base ball.
I've been saying that, then proceed

looks to be a pennant race narrowing
down to the New York Giants and
st. Louis Cardinals, with Chicago and
Pittsburgh possibly taking hand in
it and one Of them, perhaps, holding

these two statements and have con-
strued my great year" prediction to

I really meant "a great year for

I was thinking mainly Of the fact
that this year-and I can show you

COLD WEATHER
AUTO ACCIDENT
Menace CITED
Extended Age of Cars Also
Listed as Adding to
Traffic Dangers.

Two factors causing traffic acct
dents are cited today by Todd
Stops, Hoosier Motor Club secre-
tary-flanager, one a result of cold
weather.
When the temperature is low, Mr..
Stops says, motorists sacrifice
safety for comfort, failing to lower
windows to give hand signals for
turns and stops.
Opening the window to give arm
signals not only will reduce acct
dents, but also will give occupants
of the car enough fresh air to avoid
danger of monoXide gas poisoning :"
Mr.. Stops states.
The other accident factor is eX-
tended driving life of cars, the aver
age life now being eight years three
months, as compared to six years
six months, in predepression years.
That cars of that age present a
definite menace to street and high
way safety almost goes without say
ing" Mr.. Stops comments. "Sel-
dom do owners of these Anticipated
junk heaps keep their cars in good
mechanical condition and their
operation with bad brakes and other
safety equipment in poor repair pre-
sents a definite menace to other
users of the highways"
The average income of Napoleon
III of France amounted to $14,219
a day.
