Fourteenth Street
Grade Separation
Model Displayed
Project Aimed at Relief
Of Two BottIenecks
In Southwest

Proposals for construction Of grade
separation structures at Fourteenth
street and Maine avenue S.W. were
pushed a step nearer realization yes.
terday when District engineer ON
cials displayed a model illustrating
details of the proposal, which would
cost about $4,000
The cost of the entire project, II
authorized by Congress, would come
out of the Districts Federal aid road
money, half of which is contributed
by the United States. The other
half is derived from highway reve-
nues of the District. Tentative
plans are for inclusion of the prof.
ect in the program for the next fiscal
year.
Under preliminary plans, which
have not been approved by the Com
missioners or by Federal agencies
bridges or grade separation struc-
lures would be erected at the inter-
section of the outlet roadway from
Hams Point and Fourteenth street
S.W. as we'll as the intersection of
Fourteenth street and Maine avenue
S.W. The elevated structure, would
be carried from above Fourteenth
street to a point below the outlet
roadway from Hains Point, as q
means Of eliminating traffic bottle
necks" at those two points.
Estimate Item Approved.
In the District Appropriation Act
for the current fiscal year, Con-
gress approved an item of $25, ,OOO
for meking studies, plans, surveys
estimates Of cost and examination
of foundation conditions for such q
project.
The preliminary sketches on which
the display model was based pro-
vide for use Of the established
"clover-leaf" layout to avoid inter-
mixture of traffic at intersections
Ramps would be provided between
the street level and the level of the
elevated grade-separation structure
to avoid congestion caused by right
or left hand turns at grade.
Under the preliminary plans
drawn for the project, there would
be but one place at which straight
ahead" traffic would conflict with
traffic making a left turn. This
would be to the west of the outlet
from Hains Point, where automo-
biles going to Virginia would have
to cross the line of traffic going
from Potomac Park along a side
road which leads into Fourteenth
street below the point of outlet from
Hams Point.
Would Erect Ramp.
In this case, however, southbound
traffic on Fourteenth street would be
carried over the outlet from Hams
Point on a new bridge. and the
conflict of traffic. would be en-
countered only after cars from
Hams Point had underpassed the
line of Fourteenth street and
reached the lateral roadway in
Potomac Park.
AS a part of the traffic separa-
ton project, ramp would be
erected to the west of Fourteenth
street not far from the Treasury
Annex, just below the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing.
1t is expected the Commissioners
and the Public Roads Administra-
ton shortly will give consideration
to the tentative plans for the prof.
ect.

enough then to travel to the final
eight in the National Amateur where
only inexperience stopped him. At
that age he was the best golfer in
the big field.
From seven years on Bobby Jones
only developed the muscles needed
for golf swing. There were no
contradictory or outside muscles
that might have come from base
ball, football or some other sport.
His working muscles all belonged
exclusively to golf. He never even
played checkers or dominoes.
Feller the Same
Bob Teller followed the same
route. Starting at the age Of six.
Glacier County chief. [volume] (Browning, Mont.) 1931-1940, 1940-05-10

The same is true Of Bob Teller.
The 21-year-0ld Van Meter sensa-
ton is only getting under way. With
only fair share Of luck Teller has
at least Is big years left-years dur
ing which he might easily turn out
to be the same thing to baseball
that Bobby Jones was to golf.
In many other ways the two are
alike-both were and are highly
popular with their fellow players
and their opponents. Both have
always belonged to the upper
branches of craftsmanship.
A Close-Up ON Feller
had breakfast with Bobby Teller
in Tampa the morning of the all
star game for the Finnish fund. He
was as unspoiled as any prominent
athlete ! have ever known.
I noticed another leading point.
For example, as Joe Cronin, boss
Of the Boston Red Sox, came into
the dining room he came well out
Of his way to slap Teller ON the back
and say, Hello. slug" A other vet

putter, golfer, tennis player and
basketball luminary-extremely
good at each of these games.
He had well-developed but conflict
ing muscles to handle, and these in
time left him muscle-bound.
There can be too much muscle
for any smooth, flowing action. If
Rowe had concentrated on baseball
alone in his younger days he might
have been one of the greats of all
time.
As It was the Tiger giant was a
brilliant performer for a year or
two until too many Of his muscular
habitats in the back and shoulders
began to tie him up.
Bob Teller, spoiled, fresh or SWELL
headed, might have been almost as
great a pitcher as he is. But he
would have missed by many meters
the height he holds today in public
favor. Especially in the favor of
his mates and his opponents.
If the kids of this country care to
pick out someone to follow in every
respect, they could make no mis-
take in following the methods and
manners of this Iowa farm boy,
who, ! am quite sure, will remain
mspoiled to the last ball he throws.
Lasting Qualities
Bobby Jones was star competi-
tor and player from the age of 10
to %. He had known Is years Of
tournament action when he retired
at his peak, or just as he was COM
ing to his peak.
Bobby Jones could have remained
one of the great golfers today at the
