 The automobile of James H. Hills of 67 Cottage place, New Britain, was wrecked late yesterday after noon when struck at Cooks corner by one operated by Peter Bardoorian owned by Mrs. Elizabeth Hosepian of the same address. Hills car was coming out of Cook street and turn ing eastward toward New Britain: Bardoorian's swept out of the New Britain road and ran almost head long into it. Although Bardoorian s machine was the lighter. it escaped with about so5 damage. whereas the new auto of Hills was badly smashed up. The front was battered in. the radiator smashed. the frame bent. and the block broken; damage will be in excess of S200 and the car had to be lowed away to Cooke's garage. None of the occupants of either car were hurt.
 Constable William Buys investigat- ed the accident and placed the blame on Bardoorian. but made no arrest because the accident appeared to be due to misunderstanding. Bar doorian insisted that Hills had been in the wrong. claiming that the Cot , tage place man should have gone | around the triangular green at the foot of Cook street; there is no regu- lation to this effect. but apparently Bardooran was sincere in his belief that there was.
 The road is very bad at this point, the road on each side of the triangle being narraw. There is wide stretch of unpaved roadway beside the paved portion of the highway. and many motorists are of the opin- ion that if the surfacing was widened to include a portion of this the cor ner would be much less dangerous. As it is now, when two cars pass at this spot, one is generally forced to leave the concrete and take to the dirt in order to avoid collision. | All dulo py ICol 6C h'l6Si of Southington road collided with a trolley car at Hart's corner yester- day afternoon as Dalger attempted to drive across the tracks to his house. The right front fender of the machine was torn off and the frame bent, the trolley dragging the auto about 20 feet. No one was in- jured.

 "Y" Wins Opener
 The Plainville Y. M. C. A. base ball team won the opening game of the County "Y" league Saturday aft ernoon at the high school field, downing the kensington Congrega- tional church by 10-9 after hectic struggle. Plainville batted around in the first inning and scored five runs, but Kensington did the same in the third on misjudged flies. Plainville came back with three in the fourth, but Kensington smashed it's way to 9-8 lead in the seventh. Tn it's own half of the same frame, Plainville tied the score on Ray Schwab's double and Arnold's single.
 Smith opened the eighth with a single and Comerford won his own game by driving him in with dou- ble. Sims started the Kensington ninth with a two bagger, but Com- erford caught him of second and struck out the next batter. Then came another hit which would have tied things but for trapping the runner but Smith tossed out the next batter for the final out.
