HOW THEY LINED
 UP AT CLOSE
McCsbe . Former Local Player Leads League In Bsttiug--
 Waterbury Way Down.

McCabe of New Britain is the Con- necticut leagues leading batsman this year. He fell of the closing week of the season and 1t looked as though he would lose the coveted honor, but his nearest rivals fell away. too, and so he remains at the top. position he gained a week ago after steady rise for fourteen weeks. His average is but 1920, the lowest ever recorded for leader in this league. It attests the efficiency of the pitching this season, for there Is no doubt that there was more high class twirlers here than ever.
 On June last McCabe had bat ting average a fraction under POO. The very next week he hit for 400 and from that time until the finish, with but two weeks excepting, he hit 300 or better during each period of six days. In two weeks he hit over 300 He made no very remarkable batting runs, but having once started he kept plugging away until he gain ed the swatting honors.
 Jimmy O'Rourke, who is beginning to hit for New York, by the way, fin ishes second with. .31S. Jimmy hit in grand form most of the season, but he fell of during July and part of August in the slump that lost his team all chance to make decent showing There are six others in the list. Fisher of Hartford, the pitcher with the best record in the league of games won and lost, just landed in- side the list during the last week. Of the eight players in the list Springfield, Hartford and New Brit, ain finished two each. New Haven
 has one and Bridgeport one. The

THE DIAMOND
THE GIANTS ARE
 ONE GOOD BET
Whipped in the First Inning Yes terdsy They Came Back
 Strong at Finish.

New York, Sept 15.-With the op- posing pitchers to put men on bases because they couldn't put the ball over the plate and Cy Seymour to bat the men around the New Yorks pull ed out ten inning game from the Brooklyns at the Polo grounds yes terday. Seymour batted in all four of New York's runs, and the men he thus accommodated reached first be- cause of the frequency with which pitched balls strayed from the straight and narrow path from box to plate and either plugged the bat ters in the legs, arms or body or veered from their course and became bases on balls. Herzog was hit twice and scored twice, while Bresnahan was hit once, walked once and scored both times.
 Seymour had field day with the bat. He fogged the ball for two sin gles, two doubles and triple. His hit in the tenth would have been a double or better if there hadn't been man on third to run home and end the game. The official muse bestir- red himself-if muses are hims-af- ter the game, and with eyes in a fine frenzy rolling submitted the follow ing to Fred Knowles: There was a hard hitter named Sey- mour
 Who did great things with the clay more
 He knocked out five peaches 'gainst the City of Breaches,
 He wasn't up sixth time for to Hay | more.
 The New Works had to play uphill ball to win, for the Brooklyns got away with lead of three runs. Tin Jordan whaled the ball into the right field bleachers with two on bases ant Herzog preceded the homer with z tumble in trying to make doubl, play. He made up for his error b! the cheerfulness with which h' sported black and blue spots on hi body so long as they represented trip i to first base. He got one on the let and one on the shoulder. Bresnahar stopped pitched ball with his shape ly thigh, and another hittee was Um pire Jim Johnstone, who took a sig zling foul tip full in the clavicle ant had to take of his pad to allow hi 1 windpipe to straighten out.
 Three double plays by the Nev Yorks raised Cain with the Brook lyns. The Transpontines didn't SCOT after the first inning and the thre double plays were largely responsibl therefor. They came in the latte part of the game, when the Brooklyn had resumed familiarity witt Wiltse's service, and knocked tn bottom out of every Brooklyn effor to rally. Two of them were aboy the ordinary as to precision and .ce lerity and called for argus. eyed vigi lance in watching runners and ac curate throwing. The score:

AUTOMOBILE NOTES.
Of Interest to Motor Owners and
 Their Drivers.


 Their Drivers.
 Governor Fort of New Jersey has joined the ranks of state executives who are motorists.
 With over 800 members the New Jersey Auto club of Newark is the third largest in the country.
 There is strong tendency among manufacturers toward the production of light cars,. both runabouts and small touring cars.
 In England 1t Is required by law that all motor vehicles making more than six miles per hour shall use rub Der tires on all highways.
 There are eight automobile fac tories in Italy, two in Spain, four in Austria. eighteen in Belgium, thirty three in Germany, sixty-two in Great Britain and 205 in France. Kaiser Wilhelm, who now owns nineteen automobiles. recently sold a number of his horses and has or ganized g. special automobile depart ment in the imperial stables. once thought might like to go lin an afrship, but now that I have tried an automobile l would prefer to travel by land. ."-Wu Ting Fang, Chinese minister to Washington.
 The Automobile club of Washing ton, D. C., has suggested to the dis trict commissioners that the age limit for drivers of cars and motor Ecycles be raised from 16 to 1 8.
 The plan of the Chicago Motor club to signboard 1000 miles of roads leading in eleven different di- rections from the city will cost the organization from $8,000 to .$10,000. Finely screened ground cork, mixed with double or treble their volume of rather heavy cylinder oil, lis recommended as excellent dope" for silencing noisy gears. Poor adjustment or the carbureter, | which gives an over-rich mixture, is often a very common cause of over heating, due to the fact that the charge continues to burn too long. 1 In choosing New Years week for their New York show the American Motor Car Manufacturers associa- ton took into consideration the fact | that 150 railroad and industrial cor porations pay out s200,000, ,000 in dividends at that time, which should | make business good.
 l Mrs Andrew Cuneo of Brooklyn. who has driven an auto over. 80,000 miles without mishap, declares that the principal reason women drivers are so few is because they lack con fidence. When this is once gained they generally make excellent motor 1 ists.
 The great relief of street conges- ton due to the use of automobiles is shown by the fact that if the 120, ,000 horses in New York city should be hitched in line to wagon man who wanted to cross the street would have to wait until 190 miles of horse flesh had passed.
