Since it has been the ill fortune of the City of New Britain to be with out a professional league baseball team for several seasons through the absenge of a sufficiently large number of fans who could spare the time from their daily labors to attend the games and thereby lend financial support the question of amaIgamat- ing into one strong club the Esany teams now in the city has been brought forth. It is the opinion shared by many that such an organization could do more to put New Britain on the sporting map than can be hoped for under the present system.
 There can be no question in the minds of anyone who has followed amateur baseball in this city but that there is an abundance of material for the formation of a first class club. The factory league has done much to bring forth new material. In the line-ups of the Pioneers and An3eX teams may be found players whose calibre ranks with that of many leaguers. The idea of the proposed team would not be to do away er- tirely with the several other clubs but rather to sacrifice to certain extent so that the resulting 'eam might be one worthy of New Britain and would attract not only statewide attention but might seek honors be- yond the state lines.
 The season has passed the half way mark and will close shortly. Be- fore the curtain drops on baseball this year, the Pioneers and Annex clubs will battle for the city cham pionship and, as those clubs have won recognition as the best in the

The Observer had occasion to be coming down Main street Tuesday noon and arrived at the railroad crossing when the gates were being lowered. Like the trolley cars, the automobiles, and the teams, he stop ped to allow the train to pass. Many of the pedestrians took a chance on running across in front of the on- coming freight and the rest walked inside of the gates and seemed to see how near they could come to the freight without being knocked aside. The freight stopped in the middle of the crossing and som fleet ofoted ones hopped through the space be- tween the cars. About six young men did this, and one of them was severly jostled about but landed on the other side much to his own amusement. The freight again stop ped so that there were about four cars overlapping the end of the walk. This condition of affairs acted as a tempter for the women to take a chance too, so they ran around the caboose giving fully a foot between themselves and the end of the train in case it should back up. At one time the train shivered which made lne OHeS ledI IL pul out of about one hundred chances taken, nobody was hurt. But that is not saying that somebody will not be hurt if the practise of taking chances continues.
 This habit of taking a chance with traffic called for drastic meth6Hs in Paris and lay was enacted stipu- lating that if a person was hit by an automobile or train, he was arrested. The force of this law was never brought home so strongly to The Ob- server as when he witnessed the wild orgy which existed at the crossing last Tuesday. The practise is not al- together new one for people about the street have commented on it from time to time. but the majority of the people are not aware that there IS a law in this state making a person liable to a fine for being on railroad property when the gates are down, and it would not be altogether out of order to have a policeman at the crossing to refresh memories on this point.

A deal of uncertainty was thrown into the local political camp by the action of Tennessee in ratifying -he suffrage amendment, thereby provid- ing the necessary 36th state and giv- ing the women the right to vote at the fall elections. Old timers here are asking what is liable to happen when the feminine ballot is thrown liable to happen to the Old Guard Of the Nutmeg State, and they are .sk- ing from world which cannot cell. Conjecture is rife.
 The navie, and by the way this is a new role for it's adopter, Senator Brandegee, long an opponent of the ballot for women, announced Tn his favorite journal, that women would vote as they pleased, wherein both political parties will be fooled in their efforts to capture the women. The Senator had a good reason for not wishing to have Congres go too far in suffrage, explaining that it was a matter for state action. He is per fectly right from a parliamentary standpoint, but it is certain that he did his level best to block any action in the state of Connecticut, although Governor Holcomb must bear ost of the blame for refusing to call a spe- cial session.
 This announcement that the women will vote as they please is certainly indicative of no deep thought on the mart of the Senator, rather does 1t demonstrate his knowledge of women. Sva

to create class party which should
appeal only to organized workers to
the end that control of tn: American
Federation Of Labor should pass from
its present leadership into that of the
insurgents and to introduce guild So
cialism into American life

that 1t is impossible for these two to

Mr.. McCurdy asserted that while

been nominally represented ct the con-
