Franklin Millar and John Ehnig ol the l. o. c. garage on the pike north of Berlin were awakened at that hour to go to the aid of the large automo- bill. which was stalled some dis tance from the garage. When they arrived on the scene they saw Babe Mrs. Ruth, Mrs. Walton of Philadel- phia and the owner of the car, walt ing impatiently for someone to get them out of their difficulty.
 It was found that three bearings were burned and 1t was also learned, much to the annoyance of the "Bam- bino', who expected that the trouble could be fixed in a short time, that the parts would have to be secured in Hartford.
 The party got into the garage car and left: for Hartford, deciding to go by train to Boston. The two men took the s:25 train to Boston and the women remained in one of the Hart ford hotels. The car was ready at o'clock in the afternoon and Mrs. Ruth and her friend returned to New York in it.
