Motor Driving In Germany.

It Is an astonishing fact that blind
man may drive Il motorcar in the Unit
ed Kingdom. ANY one who has Il driv
ing license. which can be obtained on
the payment of 5 shillings without any
test of qualification. is entitled to drive
ii car whether he is able to do so or
not.
The German method is in strong con
trast to that of England. If a German
wishes to drive motorcar he must
first take out a one months tuition H.
cense. which permits him to learn to
drive. At the end of the month he Is
taken into the heart of large city
and, with an official by bis side. is
made to drive i'll and out 81 the traf-

One little slip, slight hesitation In
slowing up, and back he is put for an

many cases in which even three

there are others in which licenses are

is that the accident percentage in Ber

Squirt BY BOSTON BRAVES
SENSATION OF BASEBALL

New York, Aug. 17.-Major league
baseball interests centered last week
in the sensational squirt of the Boston
Braves towards the top of the Nation
al league standing.
George StaLlings' men whose steady
upward trend has been watched with
more or less apprehension by clubs
ahead for more than a month past,
outdid the expectations Of their warm
est admirers in the closing days or
the week by running the champion
New Yorks off their feet, ruling them
in every game of a three-game series.
IThe Braves are now but three and a
thalf games behind the McGrawites
and playing at a clip which bids fair
tot land them at the top in short
order, as the Giants appear to be
Swobbling badly in all departments.
Boston did something none of the
other rivals of the Giants has been
table to do this season. The champions
STAYED off P~ittsburgh's early attack,
Iblasted the hopes of Cincinnati, and
turned back the CHicagoans when
None stood the test when pitted
against the Ginats, team for team. The
contrary was! the case with the Braves,
however.
Boston, however, must keep up its
pace, not only to gain on the Giants,
but Il keep it's second place standing
Intact. st. Louis and Chicago are tied,
only two games. behind, and a squirt by
either with a slump by the Braves
would do damage to the Bostonian
hopes. The rest OF the teams are still

tcupying the cellar position. Il
