PROPOSE FORMING
 OF JITNEY BUS CO.
East Berlin Residents Want
 Service to New Britain
NO STEPS TAKEN AS YET
Schools Will Close April , For a Wcck-planS For Fancy DrC-s RaII Progressing = News in The Towns ChurChC-ItpmS.

The organization of q company 10 maintain d jitney line between New Britain and East Berlin is being con sidercd by several residents of East Berlin, who have been agitating the extension of the Connecticut COm- panys line, so that it will take in East Berlin.
 Whether or not the Connecticut company would consider the cXtcn- sion of the line is not known. as none of the residents has yet ap- preached officials with the propOsi- lion. Some time ago it was stated by an official that the possibility of having q line cNtcndcd to take in the extreme eastern section of the town is sim.
 Just who Wpuld become members of this new concern, if it were or CaniGcd, is not known. The general attitude seems to be to sit back and one will accept the responsibility for circulating petition, it is said, all though several have considered do- ing so.
 The chief reason for desiring an extension of the bus line is that East Berlin people have difficulty at times in making connections between New Britain and their homes by way of the electric trolley. At times, it is impossible 10 reach East Berlin until midnight. when people attend shows or have appointments in New Brit ain.
 Prepare For Heavy Traffic
 The Berlin authorities are making preparations for the annual rush of L1. fife which will occur through the town during the summer months. It is expected that traffic will be greatly increased this year and this may mean that several new tra officers will be needed for duty at important street intersections.
 Several residents have inquired whether or not traffic signals will be installed at dangerous intersections in Berlin and the answer should come from the first sclcctman, who could not be reached today.
 Traffic is light along the turnpike at the present time. except on pleas ant Sundays. The traffic officers will begin their summer duties about May 30.
 Schools Close April 3
 The schools of Berlin will close for inc spring recess on Friday after noon, April 3, 1t was announced to- day by Miss Mary E. Griswold, su- perintendent of schools. It is plan ned to reopen the schools week from the following Monday, or April 13.

Deacon Scott, veteran shortstop
of the New York Yankees. will to-
morrow appear lin his 1.300th con

He hit the 900 mark in Washing

total in the Same city. No other
player has ever approached Scotts

Spencer Adams pulled the most
thrilling fielding play of yesterday s
game when he ran far out into
right field and took Ernie john
sons fly. He got the ball over his
shoulder while running hard, then
wheeled and doubled up Paschal at
second with a peg to Peck.
Earl McNeely's bat wasn't much
in evidence, but his fielding was
high and mighty. He robbed Pipp

deep in the pasture.
Aaron Ward has a bruised finger

RESTING
TO-DAY
Tomorrow Will Resume Their
Wild Attack Against New
York Yankees
By LOUIS A. BOUCHER,
(Sports Editor. The Times)

The wrold champion Griffs are
resting today, but resting ner-
vously. They would much prefer
to be leaping at the Yankees
again in the third game of this
series. If there is anything the
fighting Griffs like, it is to leap
at an enemy sporting IN. Y"
on its uniform. Oh boy, that's
the real custardi However, to-
day is open in the Griffs' sched-
ule and so not till tomorrow will
Bucky Harris be able to send his
young men against the Yankees.
Today's vacation should do
several of the athletes good.
Manager Harris himself has a
badly bruised finger. Most of
the lads have colds. Among the
Yankees it is much the same
story, colds and slight injuries
being prevalent.
Like q good. game man facing
odds, the fighting Griffs can be
defeated. but not whipped. And they
never admit that defeat, either, until
1T is in the records. That's why they
copied the second game of the series
from the former WOIAQ CHdIlplOH view
York Yankees by the slender mar
gin Of 2 to 1. The Griffs simply re-
fused to admit defeat. So they
copped, sending some 10000 fans
home with wildly palpitating hearts.
For seven innings Herb Pennock
had toyed with the Griffs. Each
Of the first four frames saw one
hit chalked up against the Yankee
forkhander without a run. Then the
storm broke.
Merely because the Yanlxs were
leading, l to 0, and PennOck
seemed master of his own destiny,
Bucky Harris wasn't quitting, or
even giving IL thought. He was
figuring out how he could break
up that steady control Pennock
was showing.

left. Leitold, who had replaced
was perching on second, and
the fans were in an uproar.
Too soon, too soon. Rice and
Goslin, with opportunity staring
right at them, sent easy rollers TO
Pipp, and the frame was in. Pen
mock seemed certain of victory.
But down there in the Washington
lineup was a young man who has
no quit" in his Vestpocket dc
tionary.
The real kick came in the
ninth which saw Walter john
son decide the victory with a
slashing single to left field. 1t
was a remarkable finish of an
excellent ball game won by a
fighting ball club.
Joe Judge, who had not driven
the ball beyond the infield all day,
opened that ninth with two
Dagger between Meusel and Combs.
Immediately the roaring began In
the stands.
Bluege tried desperately to put
Joe on third with a bunt to Dugat,
hoping to pull Dugan off the bag.
The attempt failed because Pennock
snagged the bunt and Judge was
knitted by Dugan.
Roger Peckinpaugh waited calmly
for four balls, got them and went
to first. Ruel jounced one to
Dugan whose peg to second was
wild, leaving the bases loaded with
one out. Folks in Alexandria must
have heard the roaring of the fans.
Vean Gregg, who had pitched the
ninth inning, ambled to the plate
and them ambled back to the
bench. This made Miller Higgins
insane and for almost ten minutes
the Yankee manager barked his
head off in Red" Ormsby's classic
features, getting nowhere with his
waste of wind, but permitting
Walter Johnson to get his uniform
on. Some windy managers are just
like that.
Pennock was not feeling so well
in front of his back by this time.
He may have sensed Impending
fate. Anyway, he just could nos
get the ball over for Barney, who
was hitting for Gregg. His 1lrst
three deliveries were wide ana
pass meant a tied score.
Wharn, over came a called strike
though Barney had thought it wide
enough to be a ball.
Then came the glorious finish.
Trying to get the ball over the
plate, Pennock succeeded in sending
it right down the alley.
Johnson swung those mighty

Bluege and Peck galloping across
the plate with the runs that won.
Pennoek and Zachary fought a
beautiful pitching duel for eight
innings. Paschal's single, Pipp' e
sacrifice, and a double down the
third-base line by Ernie Johnson
had given the Yankees a one-Eln
lead in the second and Pennock
seemed fully capable of holding 1t.
But he didn't, because the fight.
