,Pittsfleld, Sept. 1.-Pittsfleld has
won the Eastern league baseball pen
nant
On the very last day of the East
ern league baseball season the junior
member of the circuit clinched its
right TO the highly-prized champion
ship. One victory over Worcester, its
close and powerful rival for the hon
ors, was needed to set Pittsfield on
the throne. That victory was secured
in the morning game, by score of
to 3, before the biggest crowd ever
known in Berkshire county. The
champions, satisfied with their proud
and hard earned laurels, submitted to
a meaningless to 6 defeat in the
afternoon.
Worcester gets second place and
Providence third in the most exciting
pennant event in the brief but inter-
league. Pittsfield, the youngest and
smallest member of the league, is not
only the acknowledged champion, but
the sensation of the season in minor
league baseball.
Labor Day, 1919, will go down in
Pittsfield history as the date of the
happy climax to an exceedingly sue
cessful baseball season.
Practically 5000 people saw the PEN

afternoon tilt. OF that number 400

Mr. Hall was driving a Hupmobile
touring car and with him were Mrs.
Hall, his daughters, Vivian, Hilda and
Dorothy and an infant son, Robert
Hail. jr.
The Hupmobile turned to enter the
driveway at the Percy homo and MI.
Hall states that he made the custo-
mary signal by thrusting his hand
from the car. The "Hup" had crossed
the trolley track and was leaving the
.ghway when the collision occurred.
The other Car invoiyed in the acci-
dent was Ford driven by Miss Mary

The Ford hit the Hupmobile near
the rear wheel with such force that
the Hall car was driven forward into
the piazza of the house and partly
wrecked the structure. A fender and
running board on the Hupmobile were
SO badly damaged that they must be
replaced, the Windshield was smashed
and the radiator was so damaged to-
gether with the running gear that 1t
was necessary to send truck from
the Bennington garage to haul in the
car for repairs. The Ford sustained
little if any damage.
All Of the occupants OF the Hupmo-
bile were considerably shaken up but
only two suffered severe injuries, Mrs.
Hail and the little daughter.

hibiting women from wearing hats in
theaters and thus obstructing the
