North Haven, Sept. t2.-Compiaint is heard throughout the town at the &C., ton of the Consolidated railroad com- pany in reducing the small force at the local depot Since the new eight hour law went into effect about August 1 the services of the night man, MT. Brooks, have been dispensed with. He was telegraph operator, baggageman and ticket agent all in one, and was l able to perform his duties stisfactor- | fly, because of the infrequency of trains, but since his retirement the public is badly inconvenienced and the depot grade crossing, regarded as one of the worst in all the state, has be- come even worse hazardous. No tick cts are sold after 6:3O p. m., nor is it possible to check baggage until 7.90 a. m., when Mir. Wallace, the regular agent, is due at his post. The rail- road company persistently ignores the the crossing, depending upon an unre- liable electric bell and busy depot of fieial to warn teams and automobil- ists of the approach of trains The I crossing is on the main highway from l New Haven to Hartford and hundreds of automobiles pass it dailyA Monday morning Mir. Wallace, the station agent was at his post selling tickets and found it impossible to check some trunks for the TAO express, This rais- l ed a row, but it is evident on the face of it that one man cannot be in two or three places at the same moment, On Tuesday morning a Paterson, N. J., automobile was hit by the switcher at the crossing and badly wrecked, No one was hurt. The electric bell waa ringing, but it rings continu,usy every morning for two hours or so, while the switching is being done, the engine and cars being within the yard and radius Of the alarm wires, It is a matter of daily record that big touring cars, loaded and moving rapidly, escape by but foot or two within annihilation at this crossing, and townsmen famil- far with the conditions marvel that q sweeping fatality has not yet occurred 1 Iu6IG. NOW lLlCl lllC ARRpA ACASS AASsN been reduced to point where there is no protection from 6:SO p. m. till 7:3O a. m. it seems only a matter of time when the papers will be full of another grade crossing horror. Meanwhile 1t Is but justice to Agent Wallace and Bag gagemaster Stiles to say that they are making the best of very trying condi- tions.
 Rumors are again current of the ex- tension of the New Haven water sys- tenn to this town. There will be rejoic- ing all along the lines when the pipes are laid and the service installed, but at present the prospects appear rather dim.

comfortably enough 20 years after his
early triumphs makes the baseball
profession more than ever attractive
to local youth.
The pitchers younger brother, every
body knew, was preparing to follow
the elders example, and local critics
watched with interest the young fell
lows play while he was yet at the
public school, When he entered the
local college he became tower of
strength i'm the baseball team.
Then the college and the town were
surprised and disappointed to learn
that he had quit in the midst of his
course and gone TO a somewhat bigger
college something like hundred
miles away 1t was soon whispered
that somebody had made it worth
while for him to leave his alma mater.
Later, to the joy of the town, he came
back, finished his course and started
out on his career as professional
player.
That town, with two active profes-
sional ball players calling 1t their
home and a retired pitcher lending
It the distinction OF his presence, Is
vastly proud of itself Perhaps the
older villagers rate a college professor
above a baseball player, but there is
no question in youthful minds that the
most distinguished residents of the
town are not the professors.

by brutal sarcastic remarks intended
for his ears. OF course, there is a
rule that is supposed to govern this
offense, but 1t doesn't. The umplres
don't enforce 1t, for the pitchers very
seldom complain when they are being
tantaiized and tortured in this way.
They don't like to be accused of play

to admit that they are bothered by
the mean, cutting things that are be-

When the professional baseball
player goes home to his native village
he is man of mark, local celebrity.
One such professional long famous is
a native of a little college town not
far from Mason and Dixon's line. He
left his native place early to become
a professional pitcher and for years
his fellow townsfolk have watched his
career with interest. When he has
nothing else to do he goes back to the
village and loafs comfortably while
his old neighbors work.
Now and then he consents TO take
part in an outof-season ball game at
home, and then everybody who has
time turns out to watch him. His go
ings and comings are chronicled by
the local paper Everybody in town
knows when he is to go south for
winter practice, and most persons who
take an interest in baseball know all
about his engagements and the
amount of his pay
1t Is his pay and his leisure that i'm
press his neighbors most. why, he
gets three times as much as college
professor" is common phrase in his
native town, where college professor
is regarded as well-paid man enjoy
ing a soft snap.
Not professional man in the COM
munity earns as much as the pitcher,
and they all know It. So far as in
come counts he ranks along with the
half dozen capitalists of the little
community. There are families with
big houses, ample grounds and car
riages of their own whose annual ex-
penditures are less than his. AS to
the hard-working mechanics of the
community, half dozen of them put
together hardly earn as much as the
pitcher.
This career, with its incidents of
leisure and public fame, has made a
great impression on the youth of the
town. When the tall pitcher walks
the village streets he is followed by
scores of admlring and envlous eyes.
1t happens that an old retired profess
sional pitcher lives in the same town,
managing a store which he set up
years ago on his savings. The pres

marks of ease and prosperity and of

work of some high-minded, hard-work-

Gossip,

Englishmen are much concerned
over what they term "the temporary
lapse from supremacy of English ath-
letics." This to British sportsmen is
a lamentable condition of affairs, but
they find little solace from the imme-
diate future of any change for the bet
ter. The decadence of British sport
ing prestige has been a gradual pro.
cess for the last decade, until at pres
ent out of the list of principal cham
pionships England holds but eight out
of 80. In branches where the British
ers were for years considered invinci-
BILE foreigners, particularly Americans,
have forced them to strike their colors.
1t is a matter of record that America
holds more championships and records
than any other country. In athletic
record America leads with ten, against
FIVE for England and one for Ireland.

gramme of events, although American
athletes hold innumerable records at
