safe to leave the control in the
drivers hands-and restore that
control to the driver at times when
nature would ordinarily take it
away from him.
THAT is news, too.
Twelve far-seeing national, civic,
educational and business organiza-
tons are recruiting the troops for
the war on death.
One would expect to find lined up
in such a campaign the American
Automobile association, the Auto
motive Safety Foundation, the High
way Education board, the Interna-
tional Association of Chiefs of Po-
lice, the National Automobile Deal
ers' association and the National
Safety council-and so they are.
But it is encouraging to learn that
the banner is also being carried by
such ordinarily independent groups
as the American Legion, the Cen
eral Federation of Women's Clubs,
the National Congress of Parent
Teachers and the National Grange.
Particularly the National Grange,
for in the rural areas more auto
mobile accidents result in swift and
horrible death, relatively, than in
the more crowded thoroughfares of
the cities.
Science Takes a Hand.
And it is especially heartening to
discover that two active groups rep
resent the scientific resources of
two great universities. These are
the Traffic Safety institute of North
western university in Evanston, ILL.,,
and the bureau of street traffic re-
search of Harvard university at
Cambridge, Mass.
Two "crystal-gazers" of science
DIR. Miller McClintock, director of
the Harvard bureau, and Prof. John
M. Lessells, of Massachusetts, In
stitute of Technology-recently star
tied the automotive world with vi
sions of the day science will make
highway accidents next to inpossi-
BILE.
DR.. McClintock speaks of the day
to come when invisible electric
bumper" rays will prevent one mo-
torist from colliding with another,
no matter how careless he may
be.
'It is possible to lay in the pave
ment itself electrical cables which,
when a car comes to a dangerous
curve or around an obstruction,
would automatically take the steer
ing from the driver by radio con-
troll and thus center the car over
the cable and steer it safely around
the curve or obstruction, DR.. Nc
Clintock explains.
Pointing to the success of Gin
visible eye" controls in other fields,
the scientist predicts the use of
electric bumpers. This would be
made possible by installing mira
red lights in the rear of automo-
biles, which would actuate photo
electric cells in front of other cars.
This invisible eye" would reduce
the speed of a car overtaking an
other too rapidly.
Lighting the Way.
Cars of the future may them
selves turn on and off the lights
used to illuminate highways at
night, it is predicted by DR.. Nc

any he ever saw. He says Lefty
Grove was one of the three or four
fastest pitchers in history. Bob Eel
Ter, the schoolboy sensation of Cleve-
land, is rated by Brick as faster
pitcher than Lefty Grove and as fast
as Johnson.
"Feller has something few pitch
ers ever had," says Brick. 'He
throws his curve ball almost as fast
as his speed ball. incidentally, Bob
made more improvement than any
other pitcher in the 1887 season."
During his officiating career,
Owens umpired more than $500
games and believes he encountered
every tough problem possible. Not
once in his career did he permit
a game to get out of hand. He
officiated $3.50 games in the Amer
lean league, 1,512 in the American
Association and several hundred
more in other minor leagues.

on the road-1O, 100000 more cars
than now choke the highways!
Except for the relatively few
heavy traffic routes which are prop
erly lighted, the inadequate systems
used for Illuminating the highways,
and the binding glare of head
lights on the road, are two chief
reasons given for rural roads being
the scene of most fatal auto acct
dents.
Science is developing a new sys-
tenn of highway lights for certain
areas which will supply long-range
visibility without glare-illuminat-
ing the road so that a driver can
see as far ahead as in clear day
light.
Glareless Headlights.
Because the taxpayers would
groan if all highways were food
lighted by this new lighting sys-
tenn, traffic experts say that glare
less headlights will be necessary on
90 per cent of the highways. Here,
too, science has the answer in de-
velopment of polarized glass for
headlights and windshields to elm
mate glare without reducing the
amount of light on the road ahead.
Looking to the car of the future
itself, the public is assured by the
auto makers that the cars of the
next few years will make the pres
ent models look more antiquated
than the first horseless carriages.

League Camps
BY GEORGE A. BARCLAY


MORE than 100 rockies are
1Vl being taken to the various
American league spring train
ing camps this year. How
many of them will make good
and stay in fast company?
That is a question that eight
American league managers
would like to be able to answer
right now.
But looking over the records of
these recruits and gathering dope
from the minor league managers
who tutored them in 1887, it is evil
dent that a very competent bunch
of new men are getting tryouts in
the junior circuit.
The Boston Red Sox seem likely
to retain at least eight of the players
brought in from Minneapolis and
Little Rock, Ark. Among these are
Catcher John Peacock, Pitcher
Charles Wagner and Outfelder Hen
ry Gaffke of Minneapolis; Pitchers
Emerson Dickman and Dick Mid
kiff, Infielder Jim Tabor and Out
fielders Deal and Nonnekamp of Lit
tie Rock.

Corbett, Infelder Frank Croucher
and Outfelder Roy Cullenbine.
The Chicago White Sox will de-
pend largely on Gerald Walker and
Mary. Owens, acquired in the trade
with Detroit to bolster them, but
Pitcher Bill Cox from st. Paul and
Outfelder Rupert Thompson from
San Diego look like the goods.
Cleveland has considerable new ma
terial, with Pitcher John Humphrey
of New Orleans, Outfelder Godfrey
Heath and Third Baseman Kenny
Keltner of Milwaukee out in front.
The acquisition of Catcher Rollie
Hemsley from the st. Louis Browns,
should help the regular pitching
staff and aid in developing the rock
les.
The New York Yankees rockies
come from Newark, which won the
International league pennant by "a

Beggs, Atlee Donald and Second
Baseman Joe Gordon seem ready
to step into the lineup and make
good.

Connie Mack is believed to have
four recruits who will give the Ath-
letics considerable aid and comfort
this season. These include Pitchers
Bill Potter from Columbus, Ohio,
Steve Kalfass from Trenton, N. j.,
First Baseman Bill Hasson of Will
Transport and Second Baseman LODI
igiani of Oakland, Calf.
The st. Louis Browns appear to
have strengthened themselves not
only in their recent major league
trades, but by the acquisition of
Pitcher Vito Tamuulis and First
Baseman George McQuinn of New
ark, and Pitcher Muncrief of San
Antonio.
Several of Bucky Harris Wash
ington recruits appear to lack ex-
perience, but Outfielder Frank Case
and Pitcher Mike Krakakaus of
Trenton and Pitchers Leonard of
Atlanta and Phebus of Chattanooga
are highly touted as being able to
deliver the goods in big-league
style.
