Office anti Garage, 7 WesTjT WEEKLY 12 CYLINDERS 11 MILES. CHARLOTTE, C, MONDAY. JUNE 28, 1915. Do We Improve ? In our issue of June 15th, last year we had the following: "TRAFFIC LAWS THAT ARE." "While we were in Lansing, Michigan, the first of the month and, while the affair was not in our honor, the Knights of Templar had a state meet ing that drew out some crowd. The grand feature was the parade which lasted for one hour and a half. The bands were then all massed together making a total of five hundred pieces and the uniformed Knights with their flying white plumes formed a gigantic cross more than a block long. The point we wish to bring out is that during the parade, and during the in termission while the bands were being massed and the cross was being form ed and during the return parade, not a bicycle, team, motor car or street car passed up or down the main street, crossed over from any of the side streets or was left standing anywhere on the route of the parade. When ever we talk about enforcement of traffic laws in Charlotte and mention Atlanta, Richmond, 'Philadelphia, or some other small town, people imme diately say 'yes,' but that its not Charlotte. Lansing is a town of about thirty-five thousand people situated in an agricultural section. It has no more police than Charlotte, no more automobiles and we are certain does not have as many aldermen, but it is only necessary for a uniformed officer to stand in the middle of the street with a pair of white gloves, which self for two bits, and motion his hand one way or another and that is the direction the traffic goes. The people understand that it is for the benefit of the majority and take notice accordingly. Can, or will Charlotte do; like wise?" Last Thursday night the Elks had a parade, at least they tried to. The street "cars, the automobiles and the crowd were not taken in hand in time and simply swamped the police after they got started. There is no trouble about handling traffic if the public wishes it. Will Safety First prevail? OSMOND L. BARRINGER. New Route to Win ston. Ever since Davie County started to build sand clay roads, there has been a demand for a better route from Winston to Charlotte via Mocksville. With this idea in view the writer made a trip to Winston and back last week, going one way and coming back another. In the next column is given mileage readings from Winston to Charlotte, the total distance being 94.5 miles. This is about eight miles further than the Lexington route but the road sur face as a whole is much better,' al though there are a number of places where . the road needs working up. This is particularly true between Mocksville and Salisbury, there being several red clay hills which would give trouble in bad weather. At . present the going thru Mocksville is very bad because the city streets are being regraded, but this will be remedied in a short time. For copies of this or any other route leading out of 'Charlotte "ASK BARRINGER."

National League, REVIEW OP PfiET iiifPK ih mm i Raleigh Showed Most Consist ent Form Hornets Still Go ing Good. Raleigh carried off honors in the Carolina League during the past week by winning fiive games and los ing two. Asheville, the league lead ers, suffered four straight defeats at the hands of this fast going bunch the first of the week, and allowed the Capitols to climb up to within half a game of the lead. After setting the woods on fire with their four wins from Asheville, the Capitols again found the sailing rough against the Charlotte Hornets, and dropped two straight. They took the third game of the se ries after twelve innings of the hard est sort of scrapping. Manager .Dudley's rejuvenated Hive of Hornets repeated , their record of the previous week by winning four and losing three. After taking a dou ble bill from the Twins, those same Twins turned right around, contrary to all expectations, and took the next two. Things looked bad with the Macks on the road in this direction, and a big surprise was handed the dopesters when the big end of the se ries was captured by the Insects. The Hornets' success during the week's play is nothing short of marvelous when the scarcity of hits garnered by the team during the week's play is ta-' ken into consideration.. They secured, the least number of swats of any team in the league, 35, while Asheville, who( dropped five games out of seven, crack-; ed out a total of 42. That the Hor-j net defense is anything but a weak) point, is shown by the fact that 23 1 runs was sufficient . to bring home a majority of wins, an average of some thing over 3 runs to the game. Ashe ville and Greensboro both scored a total of 22 runs and these teams suf fered from the week's play. Durham equalled Charlotte's record of four wins and three losses. They took three out of four from Rowe's lowly Patriots, and dropped the big end of the series to Asheville. The Bulls ' seem to be- playing consistent ball, having taken five out of seven in the preceding week's play. They promise to be a hard team for the Hor nets to dislodge from the third place. Asheville found the going rough against Raleigh, dropping the entire series of four games, and managing to cling to the league leadership only when the rurtain was rung down. Just Capitols' winning streak by taking two straight. This morning they are holding to the top by only a game and !a half. Winston after splitting with the Hornets journeyed up to Greensboro town and received two slaps in the face from the gang managed by Red dy Rowe, who by the way was out of the city at the time. Clancy has al ways striven to make the .500 mark by July 4, being convinced that if he could do this, a pennant would be fly ing over the Twin City grandstand when the curtain was run down. Just now he is resting below the four hun dred mark, but it may be possible that having accomplished the above men tioned feat for season after season, he this year has some of the StallingV stuff up his sleeve. At any rate the Wise One has to be reckoned with until there is no chance at all. If the Hornets can go through as successful a week as has just passed with the few number of swats that were forthcoming there is no telling what the coming week may have in stoe with that old time slugger, Joe Wofford in the game, and another hea vy swatter in Smith, the -new center fielder. The local twirlers with the ex ception of Slats Ledbetter, are pitch ing much better ball, and it is ex pected that when the Slim One gets that soreness out of his arm, he will show them just about as many as the best of the b'oys.

Looks Like a World Series Be tween the Two But George Stallings is Still There. By Associated Press. New York, June 28. The two Chi cago clubs continue to carry off hon ors in major league baseball. Only Pittsburg in the National League equalled the Cubs' record during the week and Pirates are not yet con tenders for the kad. In the American League all honors went to the White Sox. No other team approached their pace one of the fastest set at this stage of the game in years. The Fourth of July is only, a few days away and teams leading the van then not infrequently have been known to capture premier honors. This has proven particularly true when the clubs in question have been playing cinsistently good ball previously. Ap plying this test to the Chicago teams it may be argued that the chances of both for a look-in at world's series are far from slim. Neither of the Boston clubs will ad mit for a moment that it has anything but the best of opportunities for the pennant in its league. George Stal lings points to the fact that at this time a year ago the Braves were lower in the National League than today and declares he expects that with the return of Johnny Evers to the game and the rounding of his pinchers into form the present world's champions will shoot rapidly to the top. He seems confident that his boxmen will begin to show their 1914 form in ample time to make good his team's aspirations for a repetition of last year's winninar smirt. The Philadelphias, another club which is not to be considered out of the race for the championship had a poor week of it but it had a slight lead on both St. Louis and Pittsburg its close rivals for second place. The Pirates are uncertain but Fred Clarke has been getting good work out of his team recently and chances seem improved. St. Louis who looked to be one of the most formidable ' team a week ago has shown falling off in form. Brooklyn and Cincinnati have to be counted out but the Giants remain to be reckoned with. But McGraw will have to get better pitching than, he has had before his team can be count ed a factor and his catching depart ment also badly needs bracing. In the American League nothing is stopping the White Sox. Try. as they may the Boston Red Sox seem unable to make impression upon the Chicago ans lead. In fact, during the week they fell further behind, barely man aging to keep the edge on the De troits. who themselves have been go ing none too well for some time. The New Yorks have held their own and as yet occupy a first division place, but are not likely to do so long if the pitching staff does not take a brace. The Washingtons still have their heads above water which is to say the -.500 mark but St. Louis, Cleveland and Philadelphia keep on sounding the depths. ... St. Louis shot into the lead in the Federal League during the week, dis placing Kansas City by a run of victories.- The margin between the two clubs, however, is still small. None of the other clubs is making a bid for- the leadership. Newark has picked up a little and Brooklyn has lost a great deal. While Baltimore has improved its standing and Chicago and Pittsburg about held their own, Buffalo has continued play of a sort Teams: P. W. L. R. H. E. LB.

Latest - advices . indicate that the Packard awards at : the Panama-Pacific International Exposition are much more significant than was indi cated by the first announcement. The grand prize, which was given to no other autombbile company, was awarded by the superior jury for qual ity of material and workmanship, in genuity and skill in design and con struction, the magnitude of the busi ness represented and the length of time the exhibitor has been engaged in manufacturing. In addition to the grand prize, the Packard was awarded the first of three medals of honor. Other exhibitors were the recipients of fifteen gold med als, thirteen silver medals," nine bronze medals and two certificates of hon orable mention. The awarding of one of the fifteen gold medals to such a famous car as the Rolls-Royce of Eng lish manufacture is illustrative of the substantial character of the competi tion. '" The honors heaped upon the Pack ard by the Exposition have given add ed impetus to the storm of. public ap proval which has greeted the new twelve-cylinder car recently announc ed as the Twin Six. During the first two days of the display of this car at the Exposition it was inspected by 25,000 persons." FIVE COLLEGES ENTERED FOR For Sale. We have the follow Chicago, 111., June 26, 1915.

By Associated Press. Poughkeepsie, N. Y., June 28. Col lege oarsmen from Atlantic and Paci fic coasts meet here today In their annual contest for the crew champion ships of the Intercollegiate Rowing As sociation. Five universities have enter ed eights in the twenty-first annual regatta of the association and twelve crews will paddle to the starting line in the three races scheduled for de cision. The east is represented by Co lumbia, Pennsylvania, Cornell and Syracuse while the far west has en tered the- Leland Stanford University eight, champions of the western coast. For the first time in some years the middle west is without an entrant, the University of Wisconsin crews having been disbanded by faculty edict. . While the total entry list falls short of the record established in 1907, when sixteen crews competed, there will be twelve eights propelled by seventy two oarsmen in the two and four mile races and close contests are ex pected in every event. An unusual fea ture of the regatta is the fact that the Cornell crews, especially the 'var sity, will paddle to the start second choice in the wagering. The defeat of the 1914 crew by both Columbia and Pennsylvania last year and the poor showing made by the Ithaca com binations in preliminary races this spring, has led to the belief that this is an off year for Cornell. The "knowledge of the remarkable ability . of Coach Courtney and the long winning record made by the Red and White crews has curbed, however, and tendency to eliminate Cornell as a possible victor. The 'varsity race is considered an open event although Columbia is given a slight edge with Cornell and Syracuse second choices. Pennsylvania and Stanford are un known quantities although not with out their supporters. The Stanword eight won the Pacific Coast Intercollegiate championship by defeating Washington and Califor nia in a three-mile race in lorn. 37 4-os. The California oarsmen have the ad vantage of the shore course but their ability in a four-mile race against eastern eights is yet to be demonstrat ed. The Quakers have experienced an unusual number, of shape-ups and shifts at the hands of Coach Nickalls and with Stanford are the dark horses of the big race. In fact all the 'varsity crew combinations have been changed repeatedly this., spring" with the re sult that there is less than the usual line on the speed and endurance of the eights.
