Once upon 4 time the San Fran
cisco Seals didn't blow a ball game.
The fans who stick with the ami
mated Fur Goats are beginning
to believe they should be tossed
back In the ocean. The Seals pull
ed the cork on another one last
night and Seattle ruined an other
wise delayed season opener by
ramming home q 1916 win.
+. The Seals drove Dickie Barrett
from the mound and pulled into q
3-3 tie in the second inning, but
after that 1t was the old. old story.
The Rainiers pecked away
at Wilfred Lefebvre for seven
runs in the first six innings
and polished off on Milt
Cadinha and Jack Bowen,
who made . balloon ascension
In the ninth when six runs
scampered across the plate.
Ted Jennings committed three
errors. George Archie got .
triple and two singles in four trips
and stole q base.
San Diego bounced back into
the Pacific Coast league leader
ship by nosing out Oakland ga.
The Padres scored their winning
run in the eighth inning on Steve
Mesner's single, George Detore's
sacrifice, Mike Haslin's fly and
Frank Stinson's single. Although
Pat Tobin gave up IL hits against
nine from Jack Salveson, the
Padres punched theirs to advan-
tage.
Ad LiskA came mp with the
best pitching performance Of
the season when he turned
Sacramento back with two hits
to give Portland . 60 victory.
Lynn King and Bob Blattner
were the only Solons to get .
bite at his fast ball, although
three worked him for walks.
Meanwhile the Beavers, led by
Johnny Frederick, Harry Rosen-
berg and Ed Coleman, raked Bill
Schmidt and Warren Lilly for 10
solid blows.

Los Angeles with a 90 spanking

While the Thomas Circle under
pass Is the hrst one Of its kind in
the city to be developed-after
overcoming substantial opposition
the program OF District omcials
points to other grade separations
at important intersections where
traffic is becoming congested.
Already Congress has authorized
studies on Scott Circle, Dupont
Circle, and the intersection of Four

lane then cleared, and the flow Of
t afiic both ways through the sub
way was sporadic.
On the surface, where q maze OF
trafnc lights blossomed forth at the
touch Of Commissioner Hazens hand
on the switch, trafnc moved smooth
ly and with no apparent confusion.
A detail Of police was scattered
around the circle to help direct cars
into the proper lanes. Up to noon
there was no congestion.
Capt. H. G. Whitehurst, director of
highways, and William A. Van
Duzer, director Of trafiic, who ap-
peared well pleased when the new
intersection was opened. made plans
to return to the scepe at 4 pm.
When the afternoon tradic rush
reaches Its peak after Government
agencies dismiss their hordes, these
officials planned to keep q close
watch on the situation.
Pedestrian Lights Not Turned On.
Both estimated it would take the
public some time to become accus-
toned to the new intersection, and
that a few changes in timing Of the
lights may be necessary. Only the
vehicular lights were turned on to-,
day. The trafnc lights to control
pedestrians probably will be turned
on Sunday, Mr.. Van Duzer said.
The first car to negotiate the
underpass carried District tag No. l.,
and Carried Commissioner Hazen.
Capt. Whitehurst and Mr.. Van
Duzer. The second car appropriately
carried District tag No. 2, and car
ried Col. David McCoach, jr., engi-
neer Commissioner. and A. ]. Dr1s-
coll, president of the Mid City Citi-
zens' Association. In the third car
were c. r. Whyte. engineer Of
bridges, and M. O. Eldridge, as
sistant traf1ic director. A few min
utes later Maj. Ernest w. Brown
drove down the incline to join the
group.
Prediction Of more underpasses
for Washington first was voiced by
Commissioner Hazen in a brief radio
speech. Congratulating all who par
ticipated in construction Of the new
project, Mr.. Hazen said the principal
importance attached to it was that
this is the beginning of the devel-
opment of other circles"
ut is an object lesson" he said,
ITO convert the public to the value
of such underpasses. Pressed after
ward to name his selection for the
next development, Mr.. Hazen said
1t was Dupont Circle, in the face
Of some opposition still raised
against 1t.
Commissioner McCoach told the
listening public that many skeptics

tisers and advertising men was not
one OF alarm, and there was much
sober comment to the effect that
nothing is to be feared from . fair

should be converted by this develop.
ment to the idea that other circles
should be treated in the same way"
Capt. Whitehurst said he was
confident that when the nature Of
this underpass is understood by the
public, it will be 4 complete success. !"
He predicted that traf3lc would pour
through the circle at the peak rate
of 2,200 to $500 cars an hour.
Mr.. Van Duzer felt that the
project would relieve the tra11lc
situation not only on Massachusetts,
avenue, but also on Fourteenth
street. A paramount principle to
be considered will be the protection
Of lives, he said, particularly lives
Of pedestrians.
Maj. Brown expressed the hope
that everyone will become accus-
toned to the new arrangements for
the protection Of ALL"
President Driscoll of the Midcity
Citizens Association expressed the
hope for more circle underpasses
later on"
Formally Dedicated Yesterday.
The underpass was formally
dedicated yesterday afternoon by q
gathering of representatives of the
Central Business Association, the
Logan-Thomas Circle Citizens As

separation ct Fourteenth and Maine.
There had bsen some opposition, he
indicated, to both Scott and Dupont
Circle projects. ~ there had been
previously to the Thomas Circle plan.
He indicated no great objections had
been raised, however, to the Maine
avenue proposal.
The surveys at Scott and Dupont
Circles were made at the same time
the Thomas Circle survey was made
in 1888. Di,trict officials recon-
mended that Dupont Circle be fixed
first, Scott next and Thomas last
but the appropriation bill came out
Of congressional conference allow
ing funds only for Thomas Circle.
The plans for both the Scott and
Dupont underpasses have been
drawn In preliminary form and
funds to do both Jobs will be sought.
Capt. Whitehurst said he would
recommend that both be done ut
the same time.
Under the plans, the line Of Con-
necticut avenue would underpass
Dupont Circle-takine the streetcar
lines under the circle. Massachusetts,
avenue trafnc would move around
an inner circle.
At Scott Circle, the line Of the
underpass would be Sixteenth street,
with Massachusetts and Rhode Is
land avenues brought together at
simple Intersections by construction
Of . long oval.
The studies at Fourteenth and
Maine are being made now and pre-
limtnary plans will be finished In 4
few weeks. It Is believed that Maine
avenue would form the underpass
there, although this is not definitely
established. This point is one OF
