HOMER WITH BAGS
FULL LIFTS TEAM
Indians Passed as Jimmy
Makes Story.Book Hit.
Terrymen Advance.

It's hard to imagine any real danger
for club that has an II y game lead.
but even though the Boston Red Sox
haven't much chance to overhaul New
York's Yankees, they're in good spot
to make things tough for the rest Of
the American League.
The Sox took over second place from
Cleveland's faltering Indians yester-
day when Jimmy Foxx pulled the per-
feet playa homer with the bases full
and two out in the ninth. And as long
as they have guy with Jimmy's COM
petitive spirit around, the Sox will be
very hard to move out Of second.
Actually, Boston walloped Cleveland
twice. l3 to and IA to II, but the
first game was little more than batting
practice. They hammered out 2l hits,
mostly in the first three innings. The
second game. however, saw Cleveland
gain a 81 lead. Then Foxx hit his
thirty-fourth homer of the season and
Manager Joe Cronin clouted two to
produce 1910 tie going into ths
ninth.
Foxx Pickles First Pitch.
Ken Keltner almost saved the day
for the Tribe when he hit for the cir.
cult with one aboard in the ninth,
but that couldn't stop Foxx. Coming
up after Willis Hudlin had crammed
the corners, he drove the first pitch
out of the park
Meanwhile the Yanks. who can
breeze home by winning half their re-
naming games, maintained the neces-
sary 500 pace by splitting with the
Chicago White Sox. The Pale Hose
hoped on Yves Ferrell to take the
opener 1l-3, with the aid Of four
homers and Thornton Lees seven-hit
flinging. John Rigney gave only four
more blows in the nightcap, but Bill
Dickey's 2lst homer and Lou Gehrig's
25th produced enough runs for the
Yanks to win 81.
The New York Giants sliced a half

lead as they hammered Larry French

pedestrian Control
Plans Approved by
Interfederation
Study Of Speeding and
Accidents on Highways
Serving D. c. Urged

Further support 81 proposed Pc
destrian control in the District was
voted by the Interfederation Confer
ence at its meeting last night when
Endorsement was given the two sug-
gested plans. now being studied by
the Commissioners prior to the spe-
cial public hearing on the question
next week. The conference ap-
proved pedestrian control in prin-
ciple at its last meeting.
On an amended motion offered by
L. A. Carruthers, delegate from the
District of Columbia, the conference
approved the two Suggested plans
and designated DR.. Victor Meyers,
delegate from Arlington County, to
represent the organization at the
hearings.
Two Prepared by Seal.
Drafts of the two proposals, to be
heard at the hearings, were prepared
early this month by Corporation
Counsel Elwood H. Seal and one of
his assistants, E. w. Thomas. The
first proposal says:
mo pedestrian shall disobey the
signal of any officer directing traffic
at intersections or crosswalkS No
pedestrian shall enter or cross a
roadway at intersections where traf-
flc Is controlled by traffic control
devices against the signals given un-
less directed to do so by a police
officer. The police officer shall. have
full power to regulate traffic"
The second one says:
mo pedestrian shall cross or at
tempt to cross any roadway between
street intersections at any place ex-
cept within a crosswalk." The latter
suggestion stated further that "in
the event this proposal is adopted, 1t
will be necessary to mark crosswalks
between the curb and car-loading
platforms"
Speeding Study Asked.
On a motion submitted by Miss
Elaine Eppley, delegate from the
District of Columbia. the confer
ence requested that the traffic di-
rector'S office make a study of all
highways leading from Maryland
into the District with q view to
curbing speeding and possible acci-
dents. Particular emphasis was
stressed on Wisconsin and Georgia
avenues.
After considerable debate, a mo-
ton offered by Jesse c. Suter, dele
gate from the District of Columbia
requesting change In the number
of delegates be cut from the present
total of 80 to 16. was defeated.

points was approved after the di-
vision. Such . law was described
by Director Van Duzer as success

Separate Civil Service Urged.
Establishment Of an independent
civil service commission for the
District Of Columbia as recon-
mended to Congress In the Com
missioners' 14-point proposals was

Supports Control
Of Pedestrians
! Citizens Association
Hears Van Duzer on
Need Of Regulations

After hearing Trafic Director
William A. Van Duzer talk on the
proposed pedestrian control for the
District Of Columbia, the George
town Citizens Association last night
voted support Of the proposal, rec
commended by the District Commits
sioners and Mr.. Van Duzer.
"The traffic engineers have given
too much time to study of the
movement of vehicular traffic and
too little to movement of pedestrian
traffic" Mr.. Van Duzer declared.
Questionnaires were sent to other
cities the size of Washington and
from the replies, he said, it was in
dicated that pedestrian obedience
to regulations resulted in fewer
traff1c fatalities. Statistics pre-
sented showed that SO per cent OF
the pedestrians in the District dc
not observe traf11c laws. a COM
paratively high ratio.
Negligence Seen Chief Factor.
In answer to question asking
in what sections of the city most
accidents occur, Mr.. Van Duzer said
the fatalities were divided through
out the city. He added that it was
his impression negligence was the
chief cause of the large number of
accidents, since congestion was
proven not to be.
The association voted unanimous
approval of the first proposal in the
Commissioners report, which in
cludes obedience to signal lights
and police officers and delegation

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 20.-San
Francisco faced the possibility Of q
waterfront shutdown today as Chi
nese pickets, munching roast pork,
and American sympathizers, eating
hot dogs, spread their protest against
shipment of asserted war materials
to Japan to a second freighter and
to Offices of the San Francisco
Water front Employers Association.
Whether the port would be tied
up was expected to be determined
at q meeting today Of the Labor
Relations Committees Of the en-
ployer group and c. I. o. longshore-
men, who for three loading days
have refused to pass through lines
of Chinese children to hoist Japan
bound scrap iron aboard the Greek
fretghter Spyros.
Picket spokesmen declares Almon
Roth, association president, had
threatened to shut down the port If
longshoremen did not return to
work But Mr.. Roth denied he had
said just that.
Expects Quiet Settlement.
1.-THE condition is not that seri-
ous," he said. The meeting today
of the joint labor relations COM
mittees will settle the affair quietly,
I'm sure, and without excitement"
Union President Germaine Blucke
said the longshoremen at a meeting
= last night had expressed themselves
100 per cent against passing through
these picket lines"
Mr.. Roth said he told representa-
tives of the United Chinese Societies
and the Committee for Boycott of
Japanese Goods. "the employers are
prepared to go the limit to maintain
operation Of the port and hold long
shoremen to their contract. IRE
spective of causes, We cannot toler-
ate picket lines on every occasion If
the port is to continue to function"
Will Extend Picketing.
Loading of scrap iron on the
Spyros halted Friday when long
shoremen refused to go through
picket lines. The picketing extends
today to the English freighter
Beckenham, which arrived late yes
terday for similar cargo. Spokes-
men for the two societies said
pickets today would march, also, in
front of the Federal Reserve Bank
Building, where the Water-fr
Employers Association Offices are
located. "in protest of Roth's threat
to close the port"
More than 1000 pickets. many of
them Chinese children. paraded in

 ''I'd rather go home-if you don't mind," Sally returned. Perhaps to- morrow Daddy would fix it, make some arrangements so that Dan would be offered a position. Per- haps, after all, she would get to see him again. Get another chance to prove to him that she was not the sort of girl he had thought she was, but the girl she was trying so hard to become, for him.
 "Just as you like," Corey said briefly. But he was surprised again. Maybe it was not going to be such a cinch to make that goal as he had thought. Every thing had come so easy to Corey, always. Yet he liked a good fight; he would not give up easily, either not himl
 He was very tender, tucking Sally into the roadster, very gal- lant and gay. He made her laugh, once or twice, during the drive home, at his clowning, the stories he recounted, the smart come backs he always could ring in.
 But I don't want you to think this is a line," he told her, leaving her at her door once more. "I told you once before that I'm crazy about you, my sweet. told you then I meant it. But now l mean it more than ever. I'm in love with you, Sally. I'm going to marry you one of these days"
 That was Corey - he did not ask; he made a statement of fact. Sally might as well accept it, get used to the idea. He leaned down to seek her lips, tried to pull her to him.
 But Sally, with both hands, held him firmly away. "No. Corey = please don't" she said. And her voice broke a little, although it was gentle, almost regretful in fact. Corey was a dear, he was such fun, so bright and gay. But that was not what sally had dis covered she wanted, though once she had been SO sure it had been.
 Whats wrong2" Corey asked There was 8 wounced expression in his blue eyes now. He was perplexed. ''I just wanted to kiss you good night, my sweet. I sup- posed that was part payment You said you'd be my girl these next 10 days, don't forget that"
 Sally said she wouldn't. But that kisses were not included in this bargain. She laughed at him and promised to go somewhere again the next evening, if he came for her.
 But she did not tell him that she was saving all her kisses for someone else.
