THE remedy lies in education

added.
From a check made by the rail-
road company some time ago. only
five per cent Of the motor drivers
are careless or reckless, yet this
represents a large army of more
than one and one-half million driv-
ers whose actions We are seeking to
curb. Bell pointed out. Therefore,
we earnestly urge that all organi-
cations and agencies unite in a
common cause.-the saving of hu-
man life-through the elimination
OF these unnecessary accid en- I S
which can be almost entirely ac-
complished if motor drivers will
follow these simple rules:
l. Approach all rail-nighway
crossings with your vehicle under
control, prepared to stop, If noces-
sary.
2. Look and listen. If the view is
obScured, use extra precautionary
measures. Know the way is clear
before attempting to pass over the
crossing.
3. Obey the traffic rules and
caution others to do so.
4. Support public enforcement
agencies in their campaign for safe
driving on the highway and at
! grade crossings.

Only "a of the 700 families in

Legislation in Congress would
authorize all ranks and grades to
transport household goods overseas

law authorizes such transportation
only for officers and for enlisted
men in the top three grades.

York observation-disclosures - 80 AIS
Through Tuesday night the Owls
had completed 81 double plays
80 at home and AZ on the road.
They may not win the pennant, but
they are a cinch to lead the league
in double plays.
Trenton will be here Saturday and
Sunday for a three-game series,
with Saturday nights game starting
at 8:15-it will be ladies highland
Sundays doubleheader beginning at
2 p. m.
If we can cop that series, the
Owls will be right back in the race
for a place in the first division, so
get on out to the stadium for all
three games. This could well be
the time when the boys start long
winning streak-the other teams are
doing it, so why not the Owls!
Thanks to Lancaster, who lost a
double header to Allentown, the
Owls, although they took a terrible
beating from Trenton on Tuesday
night, moved up notch in the
standing-going from seventh to
sixth place
A week or so ago it looked as if
Wilmington was going to run away
with the pennant, but, like the
Owls, they have suddenly gone into
tail spin, with the result that the
race is now about as tight as Dicks
Hatband," which is all to the good
as far as the fans are concerned.
The local fans will see some new
faces in the lineup when Bunny
Grifiths and his boys return home
on Saturday. John Sebastian, an
infielder, was due to join the squad
in Trenton and the Cubs also sent
back Eddie Volan, who was with the
team for few games earlier in the
season. He replaces Nerino in center
field.
AS if Grifiths didn't have enough
worries, Jim Ruark. our hard-hitting
catcher, had the bad luck to break
his hand in that game with York on
Friday night, when he tangled with
Beaster at the plate, and will be on
the side lines for three or four
weeks.
Hal Stewart, the pitcher recently
sent in by the Chicago Cubs, got his
first starting assignment in Saturday
nights game against Harrisburg,
which the Owls won, to 4. Stewart
pitched seven innings, being taken
out in the eighth for pinch hitter
While he was on the mound he gave
up 8 hits, walked 5, struck out 3.
hit the Harrisburg 3rd baseman, un-
corked a wild pitch and allowed
three runs. Those who saw the
game tell me that apart from his
wildness he was plenty effective and
as he settles into his stride he should
be real help. Fisher went to the
mound in the eighth inning, but was
pulled after facing one batter and
Ancherico finished the game and got
credit for the win.
And talking about that game in
Harrisburg, which the Owls won on
five-run outburst in the ninth,
there was one game in which the
Owls were really on their toes.
Five of them-count them-Fitzger-
aid, Zydowsky, Matarazzo, Balogh
and Volan, were credited with stoI-
en- bases and the boys also came up
with four double plays.
Sundays double header, however,
was a different story, with the Sen
ators taking both games. Both Owl
s pitchers - Curtis and Joselane -
pitched good ball, Curtis giving up
z hits and Joselane 5, but errors in
the first game and II Owls being
left stranded on the base paths in
the second game, spelt the difference.
