H Pitchers Speak The major league pitchers have a rather unusual way of expressing their aprpoval of the 1926 ball. “It has a different feel, the way several star pitchers have explained it to me. Asked for a further ex- planation they replied: “The ball seems better balanced; the weight more evenly distributed because of the latest change in the cork and rubber center. “There seemed to be a dead weight ‘to the lively ball, while the new one feels as light as a feather. It re- sponds to a curve much better. “Incidentally, you have more con- fidence in yourself because you know it’s going to take a pretty good hit- ter to drive the ball out of the park.” BY JOE WILLIAMS Ty Cobb is taking baths in order to reduce. .

Gaile aa be Scores at New York Debut “~ Uniformity in traffic regutation by all cities in the same locality is one of the objectives of the Albert Russel Erskine bureau for traffie research of the University of California. Dr. Mitler (McClintock, one of the nation’s foremost traffic engineers, is in charge of the bureau’s work. has been advised thet ten of the lerger cities near Los Afigeles alread ‘have adopted ‘the uniform code whic! he worked out, The ten cities are Bakersfield, Glendale, San ‘Diego, Anaheim, Long Beach, Pasadena, Venice, Pomona, Santa Monica and Santa Barbara. Thus practically all of tie 3b ickly populated section of southern Califor- nia has ‘heen browsht ‘uader one traffic code—the first sectidn in the United States to have the suivantage of uniformity. Every resident in the section knows what rules he must observe in driving through 'the whole southern ‘part of the state. Inquiries from many other cities all over the United States for inform- ation concerning this, the first or- dinance ever’ drawn by a technical traffic expert, indicate that there is &@ widespread recognition of the fact this kind of work is a task for en- gineers. Code Is Simple Simplicity—and the clear definition of the rights of both pedestrians and ial ily the basis of the uniform code. “Growing traffic,” declares Dr. Me- Clintock, “requires both pedestrian and driver to yield something of what each has considered hig rights, so that not only will traffic move more ex- editiously, but that accidents will e prevented. “So the ordinance exactly defines these rights. When the pedestrian has the right of bt and where he may travel; when the vehicles may pects and where; these are fixed yy the code. With the code in effect in neighboring cities, people from one community are not con- fused in another city.” Pedestrian’s Rights These are the pedestrian’s - rights, as fixed by the uniform code: Where traffic is not being directed by a policeman or signals, the person ‘on foot has right of way across streets ; which have marked cross- ings; if crossings are not marked, the INCREASING NUMBER OF CARS DEM __ UNIFORMITY IN TRAFFIC REGULATIONS Ten ‘of he Larger Cities Near Los Angeles Have Already Adcpted a Uniform Code Worked Out By Dr. McClintock, One of the Nation’s Foremost Traffic Engineers ‘pedestrian obtains the right of way CARS DEMAND by -holding his handup to warn vehicles that he is about to cross the street, Where a policeman or a signal controls traffic, pedestrian: like motorists, must heed the sign: It a central traffic distriet thas been established, no one on fodt-may cross a street except at crossing walks; this ends “jay walking,” it must be done straight across the street, not cornerwise, and he must then yicld the right ot, to all vehicles. liceman or signal, drivers must heed the signals. At other strect crossings, drivers must stop to permit pedestrians to cross marked roadways, and must stop if a pedestrian by raised hand indicates he will cross a street at an unmarked crossing. Drivers must keep aut of safety zones for street car loading. A driver wishing to turn to the left: must approach that turning point as near the center of the street jossible and must not cut_corners; e must round the center point of the street. Sections of the-city to be determined by the aldermen will be established within which no left) turn may be made. The code contains provisions : for boulevard stops; ele following fire apparatus with an automobile or crossing fire hose in a street, forbids bicycle riding on a sidewalk or carry- ing anyone one handlebars of a bi- cycle; driving through funeral pro- cessions or standing on running boards of efther @ car or street car. Reduces Injuries ‘Most important of all provisions is that requiring pedestrians to observe traffic signals, in ‘congested dis- tricts; it has reduced injuries from motor car atcidentd by thirty per cent. Requiring motorists to yield to foot persons in other districts lessen- ed crossing accidents in those dis- tricts, fewer mishaps occurred be- tween crossings, fewer children at play were hurt and reckless driving ‘was curtailed. a Copies of the uniform code may be obtained without cost by writing the Albert Russel Erskine bureau of the University of California at Los An- geles. The bureau will advise and cooperate with any community in meeting its traffic nroplems.

It com- oh with an estimate of $30,000,- 00 for 1923 and $20,000,000,00 for 1922, and represented the chief “un- reported” item on the import side of the country’s merchandise ledger.

Estimate Is Low The estimate covered all smuggled goods, but it was pointed ont’ that this item consiats chiefly of alcoholic liquors. It was reached after a study of the records of production, im- ports, domestic consumption and ex- ports of liquors in neighboring coun- tries and in the opinion of various authorities, was “a very low esti- mate.” “The year 1925,”-the department’s statement said, “with stricter enforce- ment of prohibition regulations and the breaking up of several smaggling organizations, resulted finally in « deerease in the numbar of forcign ships lying off the e and in a gracter confiscation of cargoes and very probably. ‘a smallef consumption of smuggled liquor by Americans. “On the other hand, while the vigi- lance of the coast gyard increased, the price of liquor advanced as it became more difficult to get, so that the total value of liquor smuggled into the United States in 1925 was pro- eek? not greatly different from that of 1924, which, according to the most estimates, was at least COMMITTEE IS UNABLE TO GET AN AGREEMENT (Continued from page one.) ing the ‘experimenting in many fields where the public interest is involved.” To Have Right of Way The agricultural committee decided to request house leaders to bring up the bills the first of next week.
