through the lower part of the back
by bullets which first penetrated the
hind part of the car, fell to the bed
of the machine.
The band Of men with their smok-
ing rifles stood motionless in front of
the house.

They're a fine set of fellows, every winning the series because we were pert and Huston. They are certainly a fine pair of sports. They treated the players royalty all season and our chief desire was to reciprocate by winning the pennant and then bag ging the World Series flag, but the Giants put the clamps down tight on our ambitions.
 Hoyt Good Loser
 But it's all in baseball" added Hoyt. That last game, naturally was 9, heartbreaker to myself, Miller Huggins, and the rest of the team, seen other pitchers up against tougher luck than that"
 In Hoyt's opinion the Yankees stand a good chance to win the pen Heves that Iris Speakers Cleveland Indians will again figure as the Yankees chief rivals.
 Crowds With Ruth.
 When Babe Ruth's name was men toned Hoyt exclaimed: - Gee WHIz! He's the greatest ball play r who ever lived. I believe. Always city on the circuit and the hotels at which the Tanks stop are always be- sieged with throngs seeking to get a glimpse at the champion apple splitter. Wouldn't be surprised if he got hundred homers next season if the pitchers put the ball anywhere. He can certainly hit that old apple
 When asked how he liked the thea trica1 whir1 Hoyt declared he was falling in love with it more every day and declared he was highly gratiffed by the cordial reception he has re- ceived in all of the cities he has ap- peared.

Weary of Big Series Talk.
 ''I would nather do that than harp on the World Series. You are the first newspaper chap who has failed to mention that ancient subject since I started out on my theatrical trip said Hoyt with a smile.
 You know that it wasn't so long ago that I was a. schoolboy at Bras mus High. and if can say anything that may help the Bridgeport boys Pm mighty glad to have the oppor- tunity," added Hoyt.
 "A fellow who wants to reach the goal of success in any line of sport must take the best of care of himself. A ball player, runner Or any athlete, cannot expect to be a winner, and spend his nights in pool rooms and on street corners smoking cigarettes; and carousing around in other ways
 Continuing, Hoyt said: "A ball player must go into the game with an eye that is not dimmed, and the runner or jumper must have his muscles and nerves in perfect work back him up when he puts forth his hardest and supreme efforts to win"
 Seen Many Failures.
 Hoyt regretfully said he has seen many promising ball players and ath- letes pass down the road into oblivion because of booze and other vices.
 But conditions are getting better. Athletes are beginning to realize that they must play honest with tnen- selves to win.'' emphasized Hoyt.
 Ball players in the big leagues realize it. Boozing and late card parties and other jamboree features are things of the past and are not any more" he said.
 Modest on the part he contributed in winning the pennant for the Yankees and his brilliant efforts in the World Series classic, Hoyt had a good word for the entire Yankee team.

SMOKE IN MOVIE HOUSE.
Audience Undisturbed As Cause Was
Located in Chimney.

The powerful rays of the moving
picture machines of the Park theatre
made visible to operator Lloyd Hunt
small clouds of smoke Saturday eve
ming, the presence of which he soon re-
port Il to Manager A. b. Carter. Mr.
Garter summoned the fire department
to the theatre, Chief Heney and the
men OF squad A responding about SEQ,
when the telephone call was given. The
theatres audience was ignorant of the
fact that smoke was in the building
and the shows continued undisturbed
as the firechief and Mr.. Carter inspect
ed the building. Nothing could be found
to cause any smoke and after investi-
eating the firemen returned to the sta
tion.
Again at $3.50 the department was
called to the theatre and informed that
smoke was pouring from under the
stairs leading from the lobby TO the
balcony. One person connected with
the theatre, much alarmed at the
smoke, urged the fremen to rip off
the woodwork and direct their atten-
tion to the source of the fire, which he
believed to be under the stairs. Chief
Heuey, being familiar with the con
struction OF the building, knew all the
electrical wiring to be well protected
by pipes and that there was nothing TO
start a fire near the stairway. His at
tention was directed to the chimney
base of the MacLeay tenement just
over the theatre lobby, and discovered
that smoke was emerging from the
chimney door in the cellar, which hap
pened to be open and was sent into the
theatre and under the stairs by the
suction fans and ventilating system.
The department also discovered that
rubbish was being burned in the Mac
Leay tenement, causing the heavy
smoke.
The trouble was discovered and re-
moved without knowledge to the thea
tres audience as both the firechief and
the theatre manager knew that fire
could not enter the theatre because
of the excellent fire protective walls,
and, furthermore, that should fire be
discovered everyone in the house could
quickly find exit by the four large dou.
Bile doors. Chief Heney. in speaking OF
the incident, declared the building to
be one of the best constructed build
ings for fire protection in the state.

TWO MEN MADE DARING
STOP ON RUNAWAY
One of Them, Alesandro Fernandez,
Was Swept Under One of the
Horses and Had Two Ribs
Broken at Bethel.

Bethel. May 23.-Alesandro Fernan-
dez, a young man, was drawn beneath
one of the horses of a team belonging
To William III. Arnold on Main street
Saturday afternoon when he seized the
horse by the bits in an effort TO stop
il from running further up the crowded
street. Just before this Edmond Re
gan had seized the other horse in the
same way and. between them, the team
was slowing up when Fernandez lost
his footing and was trampled on by
the horse nearest him.
A group Of men now held up the
runaways and the young man was
pulled out of his dangerous position
and hurried to DIR. o. V. Greene's sana-
torium. where il was found that two
ribs were broken and severe bruises
sustained. but nothing more serious.
Stories of broken hip and broken back
were prevalent for some time, and IN
ternal Injuries were feared.
The acts Of Mr.. Regan and Mr.. Fer
nandez were very praiseworthy and
probably prevented a series OF eotil-
sions further up the street. The horses
were hauling part of a load of manure
which Fred Powers was loading at the
former Pierce livery stable. lie had
them hitched only by the tugs when
they got away from him. John lzzo,
