NEED FOR MORE
CARE IN CROSS
ING THE STREET!
Children Show Recklessness in Dart
ing in Front of Cars that Will
Result in Injury.
That there should be more care
avofAtcad in c i n ir i V. o ctroata an1
especially in the business section is
clearly apparent to anyone who has
clearly apparent to anyon
taken any time to look the proposi
tion over. This is especially true as
applied to children.
One instance of the danger to the
little folks was shown Saturday in
front of the Journal office. The cen
ter of the street was well filled with
parked cars and one family was en
gaged in getting their Ford tuned
up preparatory to starting for home
when a young chiid, probably eight
years old, belonging to the family,
decided to start out to look for ad
ventures and without looking where
he was going darted out from the
line of parked cars and started to
ward the sidewalk, apparently not
looking where he was going, a car
coming down the street at this time
and the children ran out right in the
path of the car and it is a miracle
almost that the little boy was not
killed and as it was he was struck
by the fender of the car and thrown
backwards and this saved him from
injury. The driver of the car showed

in time and certainly is deserving
of the greatest praise for his cool
ness or else the child would prob

without paying any attention to the
cars that may be passing or else the ,

Vinton Street Express Team Loses !
By Score of 6 to 4 to the Lo
cal Ball Players.
The first Kame of the baseball ,
season of 1922 was played yesterday
afternoon at the local lot with a
goodly number of the fans out to
see the opening of the season. The
Vinton Street Express team was the
opposing team of the locals and were
defeated by the score of 6 to 4.
For the Wolff Colts Mason was
selected to do the tossing and made
the Omaha batters look small as he ,
whiffed them over the plate
for numerous strikeouts and in only
one inning did the visitors grow
dangerous.
In the batting department of the
game William Patrick O'Donnell
was the bright particular light, as
he succeeded in laming one of the
slants of the visiting pitcher for a
circuit drive and also scored Pete
Herold. who was gently resting on
the base when the blow of William
fell in the opening inning of the
game.
Harry Newman played a fast field
ing game and added new laurels for
his team by his clever covering of
his position. For the Omaha team
Stacy, in the center garden, was the
star as he robbed the Colts of a
number of what looked like clean
hits, by daring catches near the
fence.
The game was interesting thruout

CARNIVAL TO COME
WEEK OF MAY 15TH
Desire of Legion Post at Lawrence,
Kan., for Another Week of
;v Carnival is Granted.
At the urgent request of the busi
ness men and the American Legion
post at Lawrence, Has., the local
American Legion post, that is to
have the Dominion Carnival shows
here for a week's stay, changed their
dates from the week of May 8th to
that of May 15th and will allow the
shows to remain in the Kansas city
for another week. The Dominion
company has been showing in Law
rence at the fair grounds and it was
desired to have them show on the
streets of the city at the request of
the business men.
The committee of the local Legion
post called up the Lawrence post and
received their warmest praise of the
shows all the way through as being
just as they were represented and
without any feature that would of
fend any one, and, in fact, one of
the cleanest attractions that has ap
peared in the city of Lawrence in
many years.
The change in dates made will
bring the carnival here for the week
of May 15th instead of the 8th as
had first been arranged for and will
give more time for the betterment
of the condition of the grounds of
which the carnival will be held.
