| LONi NlClh ENGIelI NlllPPAC VI Westerly in common with the other ! town clerks of the state, has received d communication from the motor league of Rhode Island calling atten- | tion to the amendment to the automo- 1 bile law which provides that the mat ter of placing guide boards at the high way corners in all the towns shonld be placed on the docket, to be taken up in the order of business at the first council meeting held after Oct. 1. Towns failing to provide and main \ tain guide boards at the points stipu- ! lated in the law, are liable to fine of $5 for every month they shall neglect or refuse to carry out the letter of l the law.
 These guide boards were furnished and located by the town of Westerly | about year ago, but an examination will be made to ascertain if all are in place at the present time, as the in tention is a strict compliance with the
 law.
 Baseball is at fever heat in Westerly and the largest crowd will be at the Quarry Hill grounds next Saturday when there will be two games with Stopington in the pennant race. There are three more playing Saturdays be- fore the season of the Connecticut Rhode Island league season ends, and Westerly has four games to play. To be the sure pennant- winner Westerly must take three of the games. If there is an e>en split with Stonington Sat urday. there is slmost a certainly that Westerly will take the two remaining games from Wakefield and thereby win the championship.
 With only one game behind Westerly, Stonington will make strong fight to win both games from Westerly next Saturday, and to do this, it is said thas the. Stonington management is negoti- ating for the entire Newport team to represent Stonington in the coming games. This is perfectly legitimate under the league rules and it is said that Westerly. too, is liable to do some thing in the strengthening line.
 The Newport team is one of the best independent teams in New England and has won in contests with teams of the Eastern league.
 StCnington besides the two games w'th White Rock, and this team has wen several from Stonington and is now only two games behind for second ace in the league standing. White RO: k will have a double header next Saturday with Wakefield and expects to win both and if this is done and an ever split with Westerly and Stoning- tor, White Rock and Stonington will De tied for second place.
 So far as goes the league champion snip, Norwich, Wakefield and Carolina are out of the running, and all inter esi is centered on the three leaders.
