CAMPAIGN AGAINST
 DUMMY CUTTING Police Stop Many Cars But
 Make Only One Arrest
 BLUES WIN FIRST GAME Fine Fielding Brings Victory Over All-Plainyilles-P Station Nameless-Going to Hawaii-To Make Improvements at Camp.

Make Improvements at Camp.
 A campaign against the practice of cutting the dummy" in Central square was begun yesterday by Con- stable Thomas Royce. who was sta toned at Central square to supervise Sunday automobile traffic. but Royce made only one arrest and that was not really for violation of the traffic regulations. He stopped every car which passed to the left of the traffic post in the center. but. in ac- cordance with the spirit of tolera- ton which has actuated the local constabulary of late, he did not ar rest the drivers. Instead. he made them retrace their route and go around the dummy in correct manner, then allowed them to pro- ceed with the proper procedure fix ed in their minds.
 Salmon Narsiff of Torrington was not so fortunate as the majority. When Royce stoped him, it was dis covered that Narsiff was driving without an operators license and also without a car registration. He was told to appear in court here at 7:so o'clock this evening.
 Cutting the dummy has come to be 3 regular game with a number of motorists. and several minor ac- cidents and many narrow escapes have resulted from the dangerous practice. The authorities are deter mined to stop 1t.
 Constable William Buys was on duty at Blossoms corner yesterday. Neither there nor at Royce's sta ton was there an accident, despite the heavy volume of traffic.

The game was witnessed by the largest crowd of the season, and the fans were rabid in their championing of the two teams.
 It was not a pitchers battle, all though Dudac and DatoN did well. Hits were frequent, but they seldom led to anything. The tenor of the game was indicated in the first in- ming when. after W. Tolli had walked, Dudac grabbed Geetersloh's attempted bunt on the fly and doubled Tolli off first.
 With two out in the third Cassidy got a hit on a misjudged fly and W. Tollt walked a second time. This time Geetersloh hit away and came through with 8 triple which scored both runners. In the second half Of the inning the All-Plainvilles tied the score when, with the bases full and two out, Geetersloh threw wild ly to first. Darrow and Bucheri crossing the plate. The Blues won in the fifth. when they made one run. Nick Tolli walked and stole. and after Cassidy had struck out Brother Billy brought Nick home with single.
 Sataline reached third in the sixth. but Nick Tolli speared Goeb's seeming hit and Satalne, who had to run back to third, was doubled when he tried to reach the plate, Sheehan relaying the throw to Gura. Three times the losers filled the

Beauty: in Greece and America

Invest any incident with the halo of few CEN
turtles and you have something that all will admire
Take the incident at the time it happens and the
discriminating will ignore it.
1t is our custom to speak with bated breath of
the ways Of ancient Greece. The Greeks, we say,
knew the poetry and beauty Of life; they were so
struck with grace and rhythm that their greatest
artists immortazed the wrestler and discus
thrower by putting them in marble
The statues that have come down to us are indeed
beautiful.
Yet we, without realizing it, have with us today
the raw material for the same sort of thing But
our artists lamentng the passing Of what they call
the Greek view of life," do not often see it.
The Greek discus-thrower beautiful specimen
OF humanity. His body was graceful poised in
strument, and his every was a picture for the
artists But was he any supple and clean
limbed than modern baseball player?
When iris Speaker or an Ed Roush dashes TO
the far reaches of the outfield glances over his
shoulder and extends enc far overhead to seize
Tying ball, he presents figure worthy of a Phid-
las. When Babe Ruth puts his whole body into
swing that knocks the ball over the fence he demon
stratcs to the utmost the poetry of motion When
Ty Cobb fys down the baselne and reaches the sack
with fall-away slide he is model for the greatest
artist.
1t is the same in our other sports. Red Grange
cutting through broken field; Bobby Jones swing
ing rhythmcally at golf ball; Aileen Rggen cleav-
ing the air in lofty swan dive; Charlie Hoff clear
ing the bar in pole vault silhouetted for second
against the sky before descending; Paddock breast.
ing the tape after hundred yard dash-these are
pictures as spirt-moving anything the Greeks had
to- copy.
The ordinary American knows it. too Vaguely hi
sees that athletics offer the spectator not only thrills
but real beauty.
When will our artists realize that the ball park and
the golf course offer an unlimited number Of models
worthy of their greatest talent?

A Figure Time Can't Dim

The past year has awakened public in
terest in the life of George Washington; an inter-
est that has found expression both in wide discus
sion of his career and in the production of several
books.
A number CT regrettablc things have been said
and written.
Some have tried to magnify Washingtons every
fault and minimize his virtues, apparently in order
to reduce him, far they could, to the level Of
the common
Others equally worthy of blame, have tried to
put the first president up on so high pedestal that
he loses reality They have tried to picture him
without minor frailties, person Of
super-human wisdom and goodness
Both extremes wrong; but neither is thing
that need trouble ourselves about
What is important, and worth while, is that hun
dreds of thousands Of people have been led to faml
iarize themselves once again with the life of the
father Of this, country.
The story of Washington has been, and rightly so.
sort Of epic of Americas birth 1t has been Amer
ica's great saga, and Washington has become al
most a semi-egendary hero who looms ever larger
through the mists of time
All of "humanizing' biographies will never
change this. Washington will never be put on the
homely, "just folks" plane that, for example, Lin
coin occupies. Always, long as America endures,
he will tower above the rest of our heroes. The

is only right that there should be which glows
with flame than earthly. We lift eyes

Thus Washington remains, bographers no

spiritually He brought the nation to birth, through
perilous hours--do not forget that he would have
paid with his fe British scaffold, if the rcvo-
luton had failed; and now, century and half
later. he stands behind the shadows, greater and
loftier than ever beacon and an everlasting hope
for the people that call themselves his.

"Oh. these policemen Faith ex-

Morehouse wouldn't pay any atten-
ton to your story Of the footprints
under the window and these dim-wit
detectives don't even mention tracks
