SCAN PRESS FOR AUTO ACCIDENTS
Papers Great Aid to Motor
 Vehicle Department

Hartford. June 3-Every avail able source Of information is utilized by the state motor vehicle department 10 get record Of all reportable motor vehicle accidents that happen in Connecticut or in strants. Vigilance is maintained at all times to prevent the escape from the department of informa- tion about any accident In which personal injury, or property dam- age in excess of 10 dollars resulted.
 One effect Of the watch kept ts to obviate unintentional discrimi- nation against the conscientious end law-abding automobilists who voluntarily report such accidents as required by law and render themselves liable 10 laws and regu- lations applicable only to those who have had such accidents.
 The fact that the department finds it necessary to suspend about l.52S operators year for failure to report accidents indicates to what extent, approximately. evasion of the reporting law is attempted. The proportion is not large when it is considered that there are 294, coo operators licensed in the state and about 24,0o0 accidents in a year.
 In 7s9 out of 6,453 cases from January 1 to April % Of this year. the department got its first infor- nation about accidents from sources other than those required by law to report directly to the depart ment Newspaper clippings supplied the information in 4S9 cases, po- lice records in 27S and notices from railroad companies in p. An ex- ceptionally careful check is kept on the newspapers since accidents rarely escape the notice of the press. Every publication of conse- quence in Connecticut is subscribed for by the department and me medically perused by trained em- ployes who do nothing else. This system also helps to keep the de- partment in touch with public opinion on motor vehicle matters and is considered to be one of its indispensable activities.

NeV York Protects Valuable

New York, June - The gay metropolis now has shock absorbers for plate glass windows. but they are not on Broadway.
 On Eighth avenue, where there is considerable blasting for sub- way excavation. crossed sucks pressed against the windows are attached by wires from the inter- section to edges of the glass to take up vibration.
 New Workers who ''go in' for futuristic entertainments sometimes profess curiosity as to the inspira- ton of the artists who produce the elarinsly colored canvasses or the musicians who compose the unfa- niliar sounds Of ultra-modern sym phonies.
 One New Yorker. at least. be- lieyes she has an answer. At the lower end of Greenwich avenue la- horers are working on the new sub way. The roads are torn up, the streets are boarded and the heavy derricks and drilling machines made endless noise. Two of the muses were represented at the scene Saturday.

NEW BRITAIN HERALD, FRIDAY OCTOBER r 1e2z

Workers feel it beneath their dignity 10 buy from anyone but a speculator, so that was all right. It gives one such q thrill you know, to be a little sub-rosa about it all; it seems just a little shady and perhaps even wicked
 So the typical New Yorker went to the speculator and found that the following scale of prices prevailed: For S5.5O seats, SIS.
 For $6,60 seats $20.
 Other classes at an average ad- vance Of 200 per cent.
 Of course there were all the other trimmings which New York has to throw around a ball game or a prize fight.
 There was 8 drive on scalpers" and a silly scalper got caught
 There was an announcement that Mayor Jimmy Walker would throw out the first ball-that in itself beine q very important thing to New York
 And there was an assurance that 'here would be a terrific jam on tn, subway leading out to the Yankee stadium.
 In fact the entire tradition of New York and all it's veneer of so, phisfication-which isn't sophistica ton al aIl-was excellently preserv- cd.
 And the visitors from Biloxi, from Pittsaeld. from Tombstone ana points between, had most Of the fun.

goes transforming.
 And when 1t does crack. and everyone begins scurrying around for tickets to the game the New York CT will find that the fans from Bill oXi and from Pittsfield and from Tombstone and points between, have bought all the tickets and have most Of the seats on the subway.
 He will find that there were 30,- 900 unreserved seats on sale ar 2 q. m. today but that not many were left by noon for New Workers.
 He will learn that John Green, negro of Washington, D. c, who works in the bureau of engraving, got the first one. Last year John was fourth in that long line of true baseball fans which forms the night before and waits for the a. m, opening of the box office. This year he came a little earlier carving q rabbits foot in his pocket, and was number l. He said his ambition was to see Babe Ruth bust the fence and to get lots of chances to rattle a cowbell he brought along, in honor of the Waner brothers. He didn't care who won.
 Frank Higgins. Troy New York. neWsboy, who has but one leg, yet 'hitch-hiked" here from Troy, was No. 2. He was on the Yankees.
 The line by daylight had about 5000 in it.
 By the time the typical New York CT reached the scene of action he dis covered that these visitors from far away, had bought all ot the hot dogs. most of the newspapers, and cleaned out the supply Of cushions and camp stools-all of which were retailed in as usual, by vendors reaping their harvest during the night
 The typical New Yorker, who had neglected, of course, to buy reserved seat tickets, also found that the 5i,000 seats in the reserved stands were all taken in advance sale. The speculators had some and most New

New York, Oct. ' TP)-Ev.ry- things all right, folIs-New York s dignity has been preserved.
 To be anything but blase is. as everyone outside Of New York knows, the ultimate in disgrace to q true citizen Of the nations largest city.
 Along about this time evay year Jake Rupper- and John McGraw threaten 10 blot the villages escutch- con by bringing Worlds Series ball game here. The New Workers read with feeling Of sympathy, how hun dfeds Of thousands of people out in Biloxi Miss or Pit sfeld, Maine, or Tombstone, Ariz., and points in be tween, wasted their time listening over the radio or watching score boards 10 see what was happening as the Yankees and the Giants played.
 The baseball disease is very con- t&gioCs. New Workers steel them selves against it and pity the unso- phis,icated.
 So the city awoke today under comfortable, overcast skies and conducted itself just as quietly as if there had been no line forming out at the gates of Yankee Stadium; d. If there would be. by soon after noonn no bowling mob Of some 60,- GOO persons demanding by all the tokens they could muster, that Babe Ruth bust all the boards in the out field fences.
 People coming to work on early trains looked just as sad, and sleepy as they always do and read their pa pers with their usual composure.
 News boys shouted 3 little louder at Times Square, perhaps, and at Brooklyn bridge.
 But there wasn't anything that looked like excitement.
 The typical New Yorker surveyed the scene and realized with satis- . faction that once more he had foilcd the plots Of Miller Huggins and Jacob Ruppert against the sophisti- l cated composure Of this great city, and New York had maintained it's poise-at all costs.
 Of course, the typical New Yorker didn't realize that this afternoon the . city will find it can't stand the strain any longer and the shell of sophisti- cation will crack like the bush league pitchers when Babe Ruth

 Before the series started it was
 Yankee home run prowess and Pi-
 rate speed that was much talked
 about But in two games the
 Yankees haven't hit a homer nor
 have the Pirates stolen a single base.
 nevertheless it is the sprinting ability of Lloyd Waner that has
 helped him score two-thirds Of the
 Pirates runs-four out of a total of six Buc tallies. The Yankees are apt 10 see young Waner or "Sprout" as the players call him, on the bases any tune they look around. The ex- perts figure there is no way for the
 Yankees 10 shut out the Pirates un- Ill they devise a system to keep 'Sprout" off the bases.
 Even though they have had a few lapses in the field, the Waner boys nave done enough at bat to con- vince observers that they are born all-around stars. Paul, the elder. is leading both teams at bat for two games with an average of .57l. com piled by four hits in seven official times at bat. Lloyd is leading run scorer and shares what little extra base hitting honors there are so far with Lou Gehrig. Lloyd and Lou have two hits each, a double and triple apiece. 1
 Mark Koenig. world series ! goat" a year ago, is bidding for more heroic honors thus far. He is leading the Yankees at bat, garner ing four hits in nine times at bat for an average Of .444. and has scored l the most runs. three. Babe Ruth has 1 an average of .429 and Gehrig, 400. Lazzeri. with 375, is the fourth | Yankee in the select batting circle, The Pirates have only two hitting over 300. Paul Waner is one and Clyde Barnhart Is the other with q mark of .375.
 Only one club has ever last A world series after winning the first two games. Strangely enough. that club was the Yankees, now in the same position as they were in 1921 when they shut out the Giants in the first two games The series then was l best five out of nine game propo- 'ltlon and the Giants won five of the ast six games 10 win the champion ship.
 The first series record to fall car9a when Babe Ruth started the first game, making it lis eighth cham battle and breaking his oWn mark.
