fact that Vance is considered by

major league record for "Sunny
Jim" Bottomley, first baseman
of the st. Louis Cardinals, who
batted in twelve of his teams

record is said to have been
eleven runs, accounted for by

Bottomley went to bat six
times, hitting two home runs
in succession in addition to a
double and three singles.

N. RRI7AIN-BERLIN
 ROAD MAY BE BUILT Construction May Follow Con-
 pletion of Hartford Stretch DEATH OF. MISS EMERSON
Daughter of Mir. and Mrs. Samuel Emerson Dies at New Britain
 General Hospital-Couplr Celc- brate 5oth Wedding Anniversary.

It was learned from an authentlc source this morning that there will he a new concrete road between New Britain and Berlin street through Kensington, within an- other year. It is expected that when work mas been completed on the new road being constructed be- tween New Britain and Hartford work will begin on the road be- tween this town and New Britain. This news will more than please many Berlinites not only because 1T will afford better and quicker means of motor transportation but it will mean that new trolley tracks Will be laid in place of the present rocky bed.
 The state has not appropriated a sum of money for this road eXclu- sivelv but at the last session Of the legislature this stretch of highway was included with SC, ,eral others to he repaired or rebuilt within cer- tain period of time. If the weather is too cold upon completion of the Hartford New Britain road, work will not begin on the local road un- iii next spring. If work on the Hartford road is completed in early fall, however, it is probable that work will be started on the Berlin stretch before snow flies.
 For many years past the Con necticut company has been sending men to Berlin repairing the worn- out trolley rails which have been in p1ace since the line was established some 25 years ago. Riding is any thing but pleasant on the trolleys because of the rocky road bed which causes the cars to constantly sverve from one side to the other Passing automobilists often times feel endangered becaues of the pos sibility Of the trolley leaving the tracks.
 New rails to be laid in Berlin were received by the Connecticut company and are now in storage or the Plainville line. When the new road is constructed it is expected that the tracks will be moved from the side of the road. as is now the ease. and will be placed in the cen. fer of the road similar to the Berlin street layout.
