TROLLEY CRASH
Conductor Scoii's Leg Awpulaied
 d Waterbury BospilsI.

Another trolley accident due to . runaway car occurred on the Wood- bury division yesterday afternoon about 1880 o'clock. and as a result Eldredge Scott of Watertown, a con dnctor, is at the Waterbury hospital in serious condition. His right leg was injured so badly that 1t had to be amputated below the knee. Ills head is also considerably hurt, but there is no fracture of the skull as was at first thought,
 Scott and Patrick J. Brown, mos torman, were in charge of Wood bury car on its way to this city. The car had just left Quassapaug station and was going down an incline curve short distance away when a runa- way gravel car came crashing down after it.s The lay of the land at the point mentioned was such that Scott did not see the fiat car coming until it was almost upon him, and when 1t was too late to give any warning. The fiat car, loaded with gravel, banged the regular with tremendous force and threw the eight passengers from their seats.
 Motorman Brown succeeded in stopping the cars before they had proceeded much further, although the momentum of the runaway had pushed the regular many yards. Scott was pinned against the vesti- bule in such way that he had to be pulled from the wreckage, as he had been rendered unconscious by the accident. Drs A. A. Crane of this city and H. s. Allen of Wood bury treated Scott at the scene of the accident and then had him removed to the Waterbury hospital. There Drs Barber and Castle amputated his leg. ..s.
 Samuel c. Harvey of Woodbury, q student at Yale, who was on his way home to vote, was the only other person injured His right foot was painfully lacerated.

HENRY CRICKMORE DEAD.

Henry c. Crickmore, widely known among turfmen and author of "Kirk's Guide to the Turf" died of pneumonia in New York yesterday, after a short illness. MT Crickmore' s wide acquaintance among racing men arose from his having officiated as clerk of the scales at many of the large race tracks throughout the east ern section of the country. For many years he was regarded as an authority on racing records. At the time of his death he was clerk of the scales for the West Chester Rac- ing association, the Coney Island Jockey club and the Washington Jockey club, and was secretary of the National Hunt and Steeplechase asso- citation. He was 70 years of age.

The nervous fan will have 10 find
something else 10 worry over now
One OF the comic incidents OF the
Tiger-Athletic series this year has
been the peculiar antipsthy which has
sprung into being between Rossman
of the Tigers and big RUDE vickers,
II started in Detroit the first time the
Athletics were swinging round the
western circuit.
RUDE had pitched swell game
against the Tigers. aided by a very
gloomy afternoon and had beaten
them. Rossman was serving time on
the bench with a sore shoulder. On
the following afternoon Claud lament.
ed 10 Vickers In feeling periods the
injury which had kept him out OF the
game.
You had nothing but little speed.
RUDE. old boy" commented the first
sacker in patronizing periods. and
that is where | live. Alas. That
should have been prevented from TAX
ing a crack at you with one or two
men on base! The result would have
had pronounced influence on the
result OF the game. believe me-"
Vickers swelled up like pouter
pigeon and opined that some day
Claud would have to make good them
cruel words--a feat which Claud
voiced his intention OF doing on the
first opportunity.
The opportunity arrived In that aw-
full 25-hit game which the Tiges
BANDED the Athletics on the second
game of the series Just ended. Ross
mans clouting was one OF the most
important factors in the contest. AT

WHERE KILLER
HAD TO FIGHT EN-

I've seen lot OF baseball dia
monds," writes Geo. Cockill. the colt
first baseman. who was tried out
by the Tigers last spring, but the
worst one ever played on is the field
they have In Johnstown, Pa, where
Detroit sent Jones and killifer last
year.
Those who remember the famous
food that so nearly wiped Johnstown
out will remember that the town Is
built In long, narrow valley. There
is just one level place In reach large
enough for q baseball diamond and
this plot was presented TO the city as
childrens playground by an eccen-
tric party who died some years ago.
When the town wanted a ball team IL
arranged with the trustees OF the field
TO play regular games there on con-
dition that all the children be admit
ted free, which Is done and a separate
stand is erected for them.
THE kids use the playground right
up to within an hour OF the game.
Then the groundkeeper chases them in
to their grandstand. measures out a
diamond somewhere on the surface
OF the rugged. stony, cut-up field, runs
some chalk lines and the teams go at
II.
THE first day l played there a
ground ball reached for took a hop
and banged me square In the eye,
breaking a blood vessel and closing
the eye for q week. tried TO keep
playing after that. but got hit twice
In the shins and once In the chest
and quit. Other fellows were having
just az bad time.
THE field Is bounded by two rivers
that join just back OF the grandstand.
or course. almost every long foul
goes into one of the rivers. A couple
OF kids patrol each stream and throw
back the balls as they float down.
They are laid out In the sun to dry.
but are usually wingy and several
ounces heavy. making II impossible to
bat them hard or throw them with
any degree OF accuracy.
How anybody could ever get de-
cent fielding or batting average on
such field is more than, I could pos
sibly see. This boy KilEfer made a
wonderful record there by fielding
over 800 at shortstop and batting
.3o5."

BRITAIN'S IDEA OF

1t is said that the British declare
that yachting. rugby football and skat-

OF the small events. To get even,

held in this country will have poker
