TOO MANY JITNEY
DRIVERS, THINKS
SUPERINTE NDENT
Birmingham Would Restrict
Number of Licenses In
Bridgeport.

That a city ordinance should be Gre
ated restricting the number of licenses
to be given jitney drivers in this city
was the opinion expressed by Superin-
tendent Eugene Birmingham yester-
day.That official said there are already
too many jitneurs in. this city and
that their humber should be curtail-
ed.
Approximately 48 applications were
received for jitney licenses yesterday.
Several of the applicants cannot speak
English and were refused. Driver
Dennis Toolan, who xamines the ap-
plicants as to their ability to, operate
a motor vehicle, turned down Is appli-
cants.
Driver Too1an has recommended
Treating a set of rules to govern ap-
plicants for jitney licenses. He sug-
gests that the rules call for Specified
points for stopping places and which
will forbid jitneurs from stopping
their cars in the middle of intersec-
tons of streets. He advises that a
record be kept of all jitneurs and
their violations of city ordinances as
well as the set of rules. Should a
black mark be thrice placed against
the name of any jitneur, he suggests,
their license be revoked.
superintendent Birmingham may
take up the matter at the next meet
ingiof the police commissioners. There
are now more than 600 licensed jft-
neurst in this city and accidents by
carelessness average four a day ac-
cording to the reports on the police

at his best, perhaps, when covering
first base, and he was always a good,
consistent batter His quiet, unemo-

won for him the sobriquet of 'StleHta

won the respect, if not the adulatjonI
of all the fans and players. b

Bill Hinchman 90 Today

"Big BilI'' E1fnchnan, who pulled a
comeback last annum and celebrated
by hitting .307 for the Pirates was
born in Philadelphia twenty nine years
ago today, April 4, 1887. Bills 1915
comeback was his fourth stripNto the
majors. He started his career with
Ilion, in the New York State circuit,
in 1903, and after a couple of seasons
there was given a Cincinnati UNIFORM
He didn't last very long with the Reds,
and finished the 1905 season III VII
Transport. In 1906 he was recalled
by Cincinnati, but was soon swapped
to Boston, which released him to the
Columbus, A. A. team. Bill batted -3l4
for Columbus in 1906 and at the end
of the season he was scId to ClevoRand-

On the final day of the 1903 season
the Maps had two games on with the
st. Louis Browns. To win both of
them meant that a RonfaIon would
wave from the Cleveland flagstaff
The Maps took one of the necessary
pastimes, but lost t'other. There was
a runner on third when Bill marched
to bat. He touched the pill for
grounder~ over second. Hinchman was
apparently so sure that it was a safe
hit that he took his time in ambling
to first, while the man on third was
scooting for the plate. OF Bobby
Wallace was on the job, however, and
he made a wonderful stop of, the ball
and heaved it to first in time to get
Bill by the fraction of a second. That
was the third out, so that man who
had crossed the plate didn't count.
and the lost run cost the Maps the
game and the flag. OF course, many
of the fans wanted to slay Umpire
Egan for deciding against Hinchman.
but others insisted-he would have
been safe by a wides margin. So it
was that the only American League
flag that Cleveland almost had went
glimmering.
Hinchman was sent back to Colunl-
bus in 1910, and remained there five
seasons, acting as manager the last
two seasons In 1914 Bill seemed to
enter on a new lease OF life and led
the American Association In batting
with an average Of 1856. That natur-
ally attracted attention to Bill, and he
was offered a berth with the Pirates
last year. In the National League he
hung up a swatting average of .3OTs
being tied for third place in the stand
ing of Tener circuit batsmen!

ANNIVERSARIES
OF RING BATTLES

19o6-Jack Munroe defeated ALT
Allen in rounds at Ottawa, Ont.
With this contest of decade ago
Munroe made his exit from the ring.
A native of Chester, Pa, Munroe had
an adventurous career in the West as
a miner, cowboy, prospector and foot
ball player before he was seized with
the ambition to wreSt the heavyweight
title from Jeffries. He had fought
several bouts in San Francisco prior
to 1902, when he met Jeff the first
time in Butte. Jeff was then offering
to knock out an corners in less than 4
rounds, but Munroe stayed the limit.
This performance boemed his pugi-
listic stock, and he went east and
knocked out Peter Maher and bested
Tom Sharkey. He then challenged
Jeffries to a regular battle, and they
fought in San Francisco in 1904, Jeff
knocking him out in the End round.
Jack continued fighting until 1906,
when he again became a miner, and
made fortune in Canada. At the
outbreak of the war he enlisted in the
Princess Pats. He was reported killed
several times, but, although terribly
wounded, he escaped with the loss of
one arm.

offer of several years standing from
McGraw, and now Jimmy Callahan
has also entered thel lists. Up to Yale
they say that Way is pretty certain to
join the New York club. 3
Way would pitch for Yale this year
but for the fact that he hurled one

he came to New Haven. AS he has

competition, Pie cannot play this sea-
