ST. LOUIS BASEBALL

Can yon remember the time when the St. Louis baseball club won the penrant for three success sive years? And when it won a World Series? If you do not then you are not old enough to be a granddaddy. for St Louis was one of the earliest Of municipalities to go baseball crazy. It has been somewhat that way ever since, in fact. despite its inability to pro duce d winning team once more until this year.
 Under the present organization of the major leagues, of course. St. Louis never won a pennant until this year. But there were major league baseball organizations be- fore the National and American league were in business. and in one of these, tho old American As sociation, the St. Louis team shone like inc sun In southern California.
 In that association the St. Louis team won pennants in 1886, 1887 and 1888: and defeated the Chi cago Nationals in the World Series of lsss. It got taste of champion

POLICE DEPARTMENT DEFICIENCY"

Chief of Police Hart seems 10 be having considerable difficulty In obtaining a semblancs of efficiency Tn hi. blue-coated force of late. In fact we should judge from recent events that things have been going from bad to worse in the depart ment.
 The conclusion that things are not as they should be Is not form ed from personal observation. but from remarks made to the force by the chief himself. He has had oc- casion at least twice In the last month or SO to call his men before him and give them a tongue lash ing over their slackness on duty their predilection for loafing in groups or in pairs, when they should be out pounding the pave ment. of their beats.
 Had the occasion come up once we should have felt that the chief was to be commented for his eff fort 10 stop the habit being formed. But evidently his words fell on deaf ears, or ears that cared noth- ing for discipline as 1t was found necessary last week to repeat the warning-with perhaps more yer bal fireworks than previously.
 Possibly. If matters are as bad ss the chief seems to think they are, 1t would be we'll to endeavor to obtain a little more discipline Tn the department, something which he has been 50 far unable to do else the first warning would have been sufficient.

RIGHT AND LEFT
 Tt URNS
(Ansonia Scntinel)

The Hartford Times is unre- signed to the idea of eliminating the right turn against the traffic signal It notes what The Sentinel said about the change which the Hartford police commission has ordered, but does not agree in the opinion that 1t will make crossing safer for the pedestrian, Nothing but cautious driving will do that. It finds it difficult to understand the reasoning which influenced the commission 10 make this change" for Hartford has tried It before and found It lacking in advantage, and gone back to the system of unrestricted right turns.
 It may be that the desirabiiity of paying some attention 10 what other cities are doing has at length dawncd upon the Hartford com missioners. Hartford itself has been a leader in eliminating left turns under any conditions. Other cities are doing that more and more. The next move. obviously, is 10 control the right turn. Whether there's sense in it or not, whether or not 1t annoys the motorist and hampers traffic, other cities than Hartford forbid the unrestricted right turn. It Is reasonable 10 be- lieve that the present order of the Hartford commissioners has been In response 10 the obvious need of getting a better degree Of uni- rormitv In traffic rules. It's a short run between Hartford and some one or more cities where the right turn is not allowed until the order says go" The motorist who makes that turn without question in Hartford Is greatly chagrined, If something worse doesn't happen to him, to find that in doing the same thing in another city he has trans

LOCAL FOOTBALL AND PATRONAGE

There were exactly 5S4 paid sd missions to the football game be- tween New Britain and Springfield yesterday, which was not quite suf- hcient 10 arouse the enthusiasm of the packers of the local club, Con- sidering the fact that there were around 999 on the outside of the fence looking over 1t, and others who got over it unmolested. it is not entirely fair 10 judge local football enthusiasm by the total of paid admissions. Yet. it is the cash customers only who make an i'm pression upon the financial situa- tion.
 The eight supernumerary police men who were employed were quite part of the show, 1t appears from the comments of the football management. All they did, so far ss the naked eye could discern, was to look at folks coming Into the ground from over the fence and doing nothing 10 prevent it. Naturally, if it is possible to see a first class football game without paying somebody Is going to be the loser and these won't be the fellows who hurdle the fence nor the supernumeraries who watch them hurdle.
 I, the New Britain team played in Hartford about 5000 local fans would journey to the capital city 10 watch the game; that, at least, is what one of the managers claims. There seems 10 be modi- cum of truth in the assertion.
 Anyhow. if New Britain Is 10 have . continuance Of this high grade football it will depend upon the fans who pay their way 10 sec the games. not upon the large number who see the games without paying. whether they look at them from the outside or make fools Of the suparnumerary policemen and get through the lines without sus- taining the shell shock of having to reach into their jeans.

3S,0O0 BUILDINGS

For 3S,O0O new buildings 10 be erected in one city during one year is indeed a gigantic record. This record Is New York's contribution to the building boom.
 Some Of these 3S,OOo were enor- nous sky scrapers; but the ma jorlty Of them were large apart ment buildings.
 Last week 10000 families moved their belongings into new apart ments - mostly lured by cheaper rent. The backbone of the housing shortage has been broken, even in New York, where it was worse than elsewhere.
