The good nature and patience of hausted with the alleged poor service of the Connecticut company. Last evening not one of the cars beginning with the SIS trip up to and includ- ing the SIS trip reached Berlin street before half past seven o'clock. The trouble was ali on account of a brok- en axle on the 5:13 car. The break down occurred at the kensington switch.
 All the cars that came down from New Britain had to take the switch on the left hand side going towards Berlin and it required the greater part of a half hour to get each car over the switch.
 Not only did this hinder but every few minutes a truck or automobile woulL stall in the car tracks holding mp rhe cat every few minutes. The distance from New Britain center to Berlin center is. five miles sand it re- uuircd more than two hours for the distance on one trip.
 Many Broken .Axles.
 Broken aXles on Berlin cars are becoming common occurrence, but with the present condition of the roadned which has as mary kinks as a snake has curves, if is not entirely unexpected.s Tn an interview wit h Superintendent EeardsIey a short time ago the question of a new roadhcCi for the Berlin line was discussed, but the only assurance of any action in the matter. was that the Berlin line would be the first to be rebuilt when there was enough money to go ahead with the work. The trolley men state that this line is costing the company in damaged equipment three times as much as any other line in the city of New Britain The rails arc ont or alignment and with inc approach of spring and the rap pid changes of weather The rails are sure 10 spread and warp causing further destruction it was stHted.

LIVE SCRAP BETWEEN
TYRUS COBB AND MAYS

There is liable TO be real honest
to goodness rough ard toumble scrap
the coming baseball season when Carl
Mays, pitcher of the New York Yam
KEGS, is called upon to serve his
benders to Tyrus Raymond Cobb OF
the Detroit club. Mays and Cobb
love each other just the same as a
couple OF strange and hungry bull
dogs, and according to members of
the Yankees, they need but the OPP
portunity TO settle their grievances as
per the manly art
According to Ping Bodie. Mays has
every right in the world to jump on
the Georgia peach. Bodie says Cobb
knows Mays does. not like to pitch TO
a batter who crowds the plate, SO
Cobb is said to make It his business
on everyz occasion to conceal at least
half Of. -lbe ylate when he faces
Mays.
Although it is not generally known.
the pair almost staged a rough and
tumble meeting last summer. 1t pro-
crossed TO the stage where Cobb
threw his bat at Mays They were
parted by members OF both teams. r
was thought the trouble had blown
over but they met after the game on
their way ont of tho grounds and OF
this occasion ii is said to have taken
the combined efforts of several play
ers and a couple Of ground attaches
TO keep peace
Cobb denies that he eHteltains a
feeling of animosity toward tho Yank
hurler. The Southerner however, Is
of the opinion that Mays likes TO see
how close he can come to hitting bat
tiers on the head, and according to

They were talking about this on all
of the attendant boats as Shamrock
sped on her clumsy way before the
wind. The swapping of one of those
slender spars of Resolute might mean
the end of the Americas Cup as an
American trophy and long battle to
Drlng 1t back. The parting of one of
those thread-llke ropes might cause the
collapse of that beautiful canvas dra-
perry, and the series would end with the
loss of the cup.
Hoping Resolute Would Hold

was almost as heavy as it was on the
hrst day when kesolute collapsed
with lead that would have won a vic

heavier looking Shamrock " bulked
big enough to carry all that exagger-
looked so dainty and frail as she cut
the water. The big green sloop was
gaining momentum all the time and
the mark was hidden again by the
mists
When Captain Bully" Norton, of the
destroyer Semmes, announced that the
last leg was half completed the wind
seemed to die gradually again. 1t

that was meant to thrill. But pictures
