Women Help to Put
Baseball Upon
High Plane

The type Of fan at baseball
games is higher than ever be-
fore. The demand for seats at
the spacious ball parks reflects
this. Years ago at the baseball
parks the cheap hleacher seats
were the first to fill up. Now
the box seats are filled up first.
The increase in the number Of
women fans has helped baseball.
The day has almost passed when
the escort of the fans asks
foolish questions. She knows
just about as much about the
game as the male Of the species.
Her presence at the games has
toned down the rougher demon
strations Of former days.

The late w. w. Naughton, in
his book, talks about the. mob and
the cheers. He described the
Corbett-Sullivan finish as follows
"The uproar was in progress
while Referee Duffy was tolling
off the Hateful seconds close to
the face of the PROSTATE Sullivan.
AS could be seen by the move
ment Of Duffy's lips, he was
shouting off each number, as well
as denoting the passage Of time
by arm motions. There was no
such thing as hearing his voice,
however, owing to the racket
which extended from ringside to
caves. When he had waved off
ten seconds Sullivan was still on
his face.
Delaney and Mike Donovan
jumped into the ring to bring
Corbett to his corner, but Jim
held them at bay and waited to
make entirely sure that victory
was his. Official announcements
or announcements Of any kind
would have been futile just then
on account Of the earsplitting
noise, SO Corbett marched over
to Duffy and with his head aside
looked at the referee inQuiringly.
Duffy understood the question
that was being put to him in
dumb show and he replied in kind.
He patted Corbett on the shout
der, and the motion said louder
than words James J. Corbett,

port of the proceedings at the
time, it was the only signal
Duffy could give, for the boom.

the roaring of q whole herd of

sound which filled the big pa

doris of the st. Charles Hotel:

The Knockout Brings Cheers.

A PECULIAR thing about
"A these ringside ovations is
that they are almost
equally vociferous no matter
which man wins. There probably
would not have been such volume
to the outburst if Sullivan had
won, for the crowd is always
with the underdog in these mat
tiers, but there surely would have
been historical demonstration
If the big fellow in the green
tights had drubbed the tall youth
from San Francisco.
"This is curious phase Of
human nature. 1t is the fact of

Back IN the days when Clark
Griffith's Climbers were making
baseball history, we used to take
Ned Cady to the game every day.
He used to sit beside us and root
and root and root until he'd lose
his voice, until his veins would
nearly burst. HE NEVER QUIT,
no matter the score, whether the
Climbers were winning or losing.
And frequently when the team
would arrive in Philadelphia, New
York, Boston, Cleveland or De-
troit, good old Ned would be right
there at the hotel, waiting for
Us to arrive. Throughout that
series he would appoint himself q
ONE-MAN CHEERING SECTION
FOR THE CLIMBERS.
So wild and raucous was Ned's
roofing from the press box that
once we nicknamed him the t'press
box pest" He didn't care. He
liked the title. He gloried in it
and more than once he started q
rally with his bowls.

It's Tough News, Ned.

IT'S tough news, Ned, that
you've been bedridden for two
years. Gosh dang it, it's worse
than that, for you were sure an
active young man, as active as
anybody we ever knew, both men
tally and physically.
Ned was a member Of q crack
New Jersey cavalry troop that
went to the Mexican border in
1916. Don't know and, therefore,
can't say for sure-but his health
began cracking on his return and
he couldn't get into the big shin
dig overseas. We'd lost all track
Of him for couple of years.
Now we're brought up with q jerk
on resolving word from Saranac
Lake, N. Y, where he is battling
the White Plague.
Ned's a Washingtonian. He's
known to hundreds here.
Flat on his back for two years,
he'll come to see his team playing
in a world series, IF HE HAS TO
BE CARRIED IN A STRETCHER.
What do you think Of that, you
Griffs?
What do you think of that, you
rugged, healthy Washing n
rooters?

 Vehicle Department Reports

Hartford April aS.-There is an au- tomobile in Connecticut for every other family. on the average. it is in- dicatcd by pitulation of the reg istration figures of the state motor vehicle department for the past year. Whereas there was a car for every ga persons in the state in 1910, there is now a car for every eight and one half persons, and the number is rap idly increasing.
 One in every ia of these cars was involved in an accident during the past year. Of the motor vehicles reg istered in 1918, one in every 42 fig ured in an accident that year, in- dicating the great increase in traffic hazards.
 New Haven the largest city in the state had the largest number of au- tomobiles last year and Hartford, the third city in point of population, came second in the number of auto mobiles owned by its residents. The registrations for New Haven totalled l7.9SS those for Hartford f7.427; Bridgeport, l4,61j: Waterbury, S.471; New Britain, 5.SS3: Meriden. SITS. and New London, S,o25: Berlin 614: Bristol. 2,76S; Plainyile, 95S.
 Taking the 1920 federal census as basis of computation, there are more cars owned per family in rural Con necticut than it's cities. In New Hay- en, for instance, there was a car last year for about every nine persons. Tn Union, the smallest town in the state, there were two cars for every nine persons. approximately the same ratio applied to other parts Of the state. in these two classifcations.

 In addition to the sounding. of q general alarm. the militia units Ca toned in the city were called out together with all reserve and special police in the city. Aid was summoned from the city of Lawrence and the town Of Dracut before the flames could be brought under control. Only the presence Of a canal nearby the square in which the blaze originated. enabled the fighters to direct enough streams on the fire to prevent a gen. eral confagration.
 Killed By Wall Collapse
 Captain Edward P. Cunningham is dead as the result of the collapse of a wall of the Associate building. Other firemen on a ladder with him, were hurled to the ground. or saved when their safety belts held them to the ladder as it fell against another building.
 Hoseman John Gray was taken to a local hospital, suffering from internal injuries. Seven other fire fighters were less seriously injured.

 Eight Hour Rattle
 Almost total absence of wind, in ad. dition to the presence of canal. en. abling the firemen to deluge the burn. ing area with water. resulted in the checking of the blaze after they had been spreading for four hours. The final al-out was not sounded unti eight hours later.
