President Hill. of the Amateur
Baseball Commission, in speaking of
the amateur baseball situation for the
coming season says. that from all In
dications the coming season will
eclipse all others Not only will there
be larger number of teams playing
under the commission. but the interest
taken by the managers OF the various
leagues 60 to show. that all of them
are signing up players rapidly and
that each one is confident of winning
the city championship.
The Amateur Baseball Commission
should consider itself fortunate in
securing Mr.. Randolph Cardoza as one
OF its members, as Mr.. Cardoza' !
knowledge Of amateur baseball should
place him in position to assist the
commission In any question that might
come up connection with base ball.
John Dunn, manager OF the Rich
mond International League Club, has
also been elected a member of the
commission. 1t is well-known fact
that Mr.. Dunn has always been partial
to amateur baseball. and a close fol-
lower of the amateur ball PLAYER, and
1t Is not at all unlikely that the close
of the 1915 season will find the name
of several local amateurs under con-
sideration for a try-out with the Vir-
ginians.

Raymond H. Brewer of Warren street. for the past nine months su- pervisor of the Shetucket Mill club, will conclude his services as head of the club today Wednesday, and with Mrs. Brewer expects to leave for East Hartford on Saturday.

TROLLEY EQUIPMENT
Compares FaVorabIy With Other New
 England States.
OF THIS STATE

Connecbcut's standing among the six New England states, in the matter or street railway equipment, is rather interestingly shown in the following tables, compiled from recent returns or the various operating companies to the public utilities Cor service) com missions Of their respective states.
 There are, in the six states, 104 distinct street railway system, so- caled operating companies, divided as foloWs: In Massachusetts, 47, in New Hampshire IS, in Maine Is, in Con necticut and Vermont ten each, and in Rhode Island four. But an idea companies may be gained, when it is seen that there are 5,619 miles of street railway track in New England or which 3.132 miles are in Massa- chusetts, 1,160 miles in Connecticut o62 miles in Maine, 351 miles in Rhode Island, 282 miles in New Hampshire, and 132 miles in Yer Connecticut, while far behind Massa- chusetts in the amount of tracIage nevertheless, has nearly as much as all the other four states put together
 To carry the passenger traffic alone over this vast network of iron, there are 12,852 cars, 6,0S9 of which are open cars, not available for use in winter but leaving 6,002 closed cars and 761 semi-convertible cars, a to- tai of 6.763 for mid winter service. While 1t is to some extent customary to remove the motors from cosed cars in summer, for use in the open cars it is moro often the case that half the motor equipment from each closed car is taken out, one from each single-t truck car which in winter

SUNDAY SCHOOL PicNIcs
 AT ATLANTIC BEACH, Second Congregational and Trinity Episcopal Spent Tuesday There.

Two of the Sunday schools of the city had their picnics on Tuesday the second Congregational and Trinity Episcopal, both making Atlantic Beach their objective point and both going from here on the 8.45 a. m. trolley trip from Franklin square. There were two extra cars at that time which served to carry the 110 in the Second Congregational party and the 80 from the Trinity Episcopal school. Both schools were back here again at the same time, arriving on the 5.45 trip into Franklin square.
 At the beach the committee in charge furnished orangeade and pea nuts for the Second Congregational party and all the various diversions that the beach afforded were enjoyed. Some few went in bathing and found the water comfortable for a short stay in it. The picnickers took their own lunches on the basket plan.
 An informal programme of games was enjoyed by the Trinity Episcopal school picnickers and the lunch was served by the school. The committee in charge made the day a pleasant one by the programme which they provid- ed.
