Traffic Officer Needed

According to Joseph Ryan, captain .of Putnam's police department, this city has one of the most dangerous cor neFs in the state of Connecticut and 1t Is left unguarded by traffic police man. The common council has not as yet ordered on an officer to guard this dangerous spot although an appropria- uon was made for this purpose. It IS expected that the council will give the necessary order at its meeting next week
 Bugbce's corner is the junction Of four streets-Main, Elm, Pomfret and Front. Pomfret street is hill ap- proach and automobile drivers make It at high speed in order not to shit geers. As these cars rush up into Main street good view is impossible from intefseeting streets. Several accidents have been narrowly averted. To make the matter worse the corner is the cen tral stop for trolley cars, which adds 10 the congestion.
 Traffic rules were made last year and an officer stationed at the corner to see that they were observed. Drivers of vehicles had become familiar with the regulations and observed them while Inc officer was stationed there This year very few of the drivers are obseTv- Ing the rules, taking advantage of the oineer's absence to cut corners. The Traffic Saturday afternoon and evening was the heaviest ever seen in the city streets. A small automobile bumped into 8 truck, but slight damage was aone. Everyone familiar with the slt- aation predicts that serious accident due unless an officer is soon put on 10 safeguard the lives of pedestrians and regulate vehicle traffic.

Putnam Man In Auto Accident

Machines driven by Constable Mi chael Grlmshaw of Attawaugan and A. Verbadian, proprietor of Putnam store were in collision Sunday after noon nearly opposite Mir. Grimshaw' 's home. MT Grimshaw says that he had just driven out of his yard and swung the machine north and was about to change from low to high when the Verbadian machine came up be- hind him and attempted to squeeze through between his machine and the curbing on the east side of the street. There was crash that threw Mir. Grimshaw up against the steering wheel and shook up the passengers in both cars. Mir. Grimshaw had one man with him, while the Varbedian car was carrying party. Both cars had lenders ripped off and the Verba- dian car was otherwise so damaged as to put 1t out of service.
 According to Varbedian, Grlmshnw ran his auto out of his barnyard onto the road suddenly and he could not avert the accident.

PUTNAM, CONN., FRIDAY, JUNE elo
WORLD OF SPORTS
Putnam I-WOOnSOcket Nationals Q
Base Ball

Putnam won it's first game and the Woonsocket Nationals lost their first game of the sesson on the Putnam grounds Saturday when the visitors from Little Rhody were kept from making the rounds through eleven ex- citing innings due to the fine work of pitcher Wilson. The local aggregation had 10 work over time to pull of the stunt, the only run of the game being earned by the Forni bunch on single and double from the bats of Manning and Macdonald respectively in the 11th.
 Wilson from the Capitol city was in great form. He only allowed two lit. tie singles and whiffed 13 men from the Rubber city. It was as fine an ex- hibition over long distance as local fans have seen for many day.
 Poalucci was a close second. He held Putnam to six hits during the first ten innings. They connected with the bali often enough to give the field chance as only five men went down on strikes, but they were not hitting safe eonse- cutively or the story would have been ditf'rent.
 The game was a fine one to watch and the fans got their moneys worth and then some.
