BRILLIANT GOLF BY BUFFALO PRO What. You Want to Know About Your Auto and How To Drive It and Keep It Bxpert Adotes How to Keep Automobiles Running Smoothly and the Best Way to Remedy Machine Troublee— Trattic Suggestions and Pleasure Routes for Evening World Readers. By GEORGE H. ROBERTSON. ERB is @ pressing need of a new traffie regulation for the safe operation of travel on main avenues having the right of way. Driving now on these thoroughfares, like Fifth Avenue, necessi- tates not only close attention to the vehicles going in the same direction with you, but also requires a strict watch of the traffic coming through the busy side streets. At night, after the traffic police have left their posts, it {s extremely dangerous for # driver to use Fifth Avenue, or in fact any other thoroughfare, without worrying unnecessarily about what is likely to cross ahead of him. The reckless way vehicles croas right-of-way lines {s abeolutely in con- tradiction of all common sense stand: ards, and there should be a regula tion enforced to prevent this. Fe It should be made imperative that} GEORGE ROBERTSON all vehicles, whether horse drawn or motor, should come to a full stop before crossing any right of way. This should be made operative at all hours. The mere slowing down before crossing would not have the destred @ffect, since many vehicles would simply slow down from a speed of about twenty miles an hour to perhaps fifteen. This would be almost as danger- ous. Of course, no one would attempt to slip by a traffic officer so quickly, but one can not be stationed at every corner.

When the um- pire inspected the sphere he would find it perfectly round. The illusion of it coming over like @ long sausage he attributed to Hopps's immense speed. ed Jerry Hopps always used the Bologna Ball as his fast one, and whea he discovered that the signals wore being tipped off he waa in a quandary, Finally he saw the light, In a very close game the Hornets had two on bases and it looked as if they would eurely score, Jerry being unable to stop their hitting on ac- count of the batters being forewarned 4a to what wae coming. Asa Hempstead was at bat with three balls and two strikes on him when Hoppe, glancing over his shoulder, saw the wiggle of the semaphore and knew that Asa had been warned to expect a fast one. At that moment he was preparing to use the famous Bologna Ball, The thought came to him in @ flash, and by a quick move of his head he signalled his catcher for a slow one. Never before had he attempted it, but he would use the Bologna as a slow one and cross the signal tippers. The catcher trembled in his spikes, but, folowing instructions, sltpped the atee] plate in his glove. In attempting to throw a slow one Jerry's finger slipped off the spring, and 10, and behald, the celebrated Bologna Ball fatled to straighten out. It came over as round as a billiard ball and looked as big as a watermelon, Asa Hempstead too! swing from his shoe tops and “Bang!” Not only did he meet the ball on the nose, but he hit it squarely on the hidden spring. Instead of going straight for the fence, as was expected, the ball suddenly straightened out like a sausage and, being alightly curved in the middle, began circling around the park. Like a boomerang it pessed the right fielder, sped on over centre and around by left. Jerry Hoppe was praying that it would hit the fence or some hard object and resume its former shape. Otherwise his scheme would be detected and he would be expelled from the league, On past the left fielder the strange, dirigiole balloon shaped ball sped, and finally turned in toward third base, coming home! Jerry Hopps and his catcher covered their faces in fear. In the mean time Ezra Huston and Zeke Ruppert had crossed the plate ahead of Asa Hempstead, and it looked as If the game was over. But no, A loud shout of wonderment and glee arose from the stand. Coming straight for the plate the Bologna Bail suddenly took a downward swerve and struck the umpire squarely on top of the head, The hard object had done the trick. When Jerry Hopps looked up there lay the ball, as round and innocent looking as a marble, within two feet of the plate. Near it was the prostrate form of the umpire, the armor-plate surface of whose head had pressed in the magio spring. To this day no one in that town will admit having seen anything out of the ordinary so far as the ball was concerned, For years and years it carried Jerry Hopps on to success, “That's all right,” observed the youngster, looking up from the book, “But,” he said to the Old Scout, “where do you get that stuff about two men | scoring on a clean hit and neither of them being allowed to count?” “Why, when the umpire came to,” answered the Scout, turning over an- other leaf in the book, “he gav only decision that could be givon under the rules.” “And that?” they asked tn chorus. “When a fair hit ball strikes y part of the umpire the batter is credited wit? a hit and no runners can advance, “You young pups ought to read up and know something before you talk baseball to me,” ex-| slowing up, for the majority of the Mal Eason Trying betged 631 along the tine t9 there | Hart will never bo an Umptre years, Every close decision he that’s ell, and he this race by now.
