one toward the first baseman which
Merkle ran in TO field. That left the
base uncovered, but Bugs" stood in
the pitchers box as if he had grown
fast there, and the hitter was safe.
Why didn't you cover that bag?

the bench after the inning

While this is not a very great thing

may travel to the apex Of fame.

the statue of Columbus; the other is
the castle of El Moro. Most people
of the United States are more familiar
with Moro castle in Havana. When
they hear there is another Moro at
Santiago in Cuba and then another in
Porto Rico they wonder what it means.
The explanation is quite simple. These
castles or citadels are located on pro-
jecting necks of high land which domi-

in Spanish simply means rthe snout."

CONDEMNS THE SPEED MANIA.

Reckless driving of motor cars up
on the highways is too frequently en-
countered and the dangerous practice
is little checked by the imposition of
fines. When a judge rises to the
emergency and imposes a Jail sentence
he utters a warning that is heard far
and wide. In sentencing John D. Cur
wen Of Worcester, Mass, 10 six months
in the house Of correction for reck-
less driving Of an automobile the
night of May 2, when a passenger, who
was riding as a guest of Curwen, was
killed, Judge Utley uttered the follow
ing comments upon the speed mania:
This is not a question Of a man
driving in the middle Of the highway.
These parties started from the Warren
hotel after consuming more or less
drink. II is not a case of where either
business or pleasure Influenced the
speed It is merely a condition where
their actions got the better of their
judgment.
Il do not think the statutes should
be so constructed that citizen has no
rights in the road. Had there been
anybody in the road, | naturally sup
pose he would have turned up before
this. We have had a horrible exam
pie of what the speed mania will do
in the recent sea tragedy and while
have nothing to do with maritime mat
ters, We have the same thing to fear
on land today People cannot 90 at
a decent rate of speed, and when once
under the influence of the speed mania
they lose all sense of what they are
doing
You cannot 20 a quarter of a mile
| in the streets of Worcester today with
an automobile but what you will see
| people start right out in front of you
in the middle of the road. go about
/ the streets and find a considerable
number Of people who take no care OF
their own lives, whether in wagon OF
on foot. | think the spirit of reck
lessness is fast taking possession OF
the American people. This is seen
plainly in the Worcester streets and
as far as the country roads.
That anyone gets out alive is due
to Providence. | think we should
have a very different set of laws. The
people must also be educated as tc
protecting themselves and others. We
have spent many thousands of dollars
eliminating the grade crossings in the
city of Worcester, and today MAR
street is a worse menace to life thar
any grade crossing We ever had, a.
people step from the sidewalks befor,
moving vehicles without any warning
don't know if talk has any effect OF
the matter, but my duty in this cas-,
is clear
