 The grade crossing on Washing ton avenue, the scene offso many ac- cidents, some of which were fatal. is practically thing of the past. Mi- chael Callahan, the fagman at the crossing, is no longer on duty as the railroad does not think there is suf- ficient danger at that point for his services. Since the new tracks have been laid into the West Main street station and the Naugatuck landmark abandoned, very few trains pass by way of the Washington street cross ing. The only cars that go by are freights and these are few and far between. Consequently the New Ha ven company saw no reason for long CT protecting the crossing. The cross ing where the Naugatuck station was in use was always dangerous place for pedestrians and teamsters even though it were guarded by a flag man. Accidents came often and many an injury was received there. The people of Brooklyn and others that were wont to use the street while the trains passed there regularly always feared the spot and are glad that it will be used very little in the future.
 Two picked teams, one captain ed by Hogan" Clark, the other by Charles Bockwitch, played a "steen" inning game at Corcoran's lots yes terday afternoon and the aggregation led by MT Clark was trampled under foot by the score of 37 to 22. The weather, so alluring to the dreamers brought out large delegation :, among them many of the so-called players who will be in the ranks oi the business mems team the coming season. Consequently there was any amount of material and at times there were about 24 men in the game. A pitching bee has been hoy ering around MT Clark's head for some time and nothing would do him but to occupy the pitchers box. We'll, the game might have been close if he had not served them up. What hap pened to Bill" Mahaney one day last summer when he twirled against the letter carriers was nothing to what the bats did to Hogans deliv- cry. They slammed and damned him for fifteen runs in the first inning To make matters worse Squire" Dunphy. who occupied first base, played as though he had rubbed his hands with boiled butter. The bum gles he made were to say the least. awful, and the business men will have very poor chance of winning a game this season If Manager Smith places the sour one to cover the first corner. Dunphy resembles "Hatpin' Harry 0'Hagan in form-but other wise is much different. After Clark had been chased to the gas house, an- 1 other slabster went in and was slic- ed; he was one Patrick Cronin. At length John Slossher of State league lame, stepped on the mound, but the | batsmen were tired running | the bases, so they gave their willows . rest. Captain Bockwitch was the man with the arm for his team and when hits were needed, he had clark's men gasping trying to make even a foul. It was the first of a I 'eries of games.
