TO SOME EXTENT
govs and Girls Under Eighteen figure
 in Few Accidents

Boss and girls under eighteen years of age now allowed to operate mo- tar vehicles m Connecticut have Justl= fled the faith put in them by the Le- pIslature. to some extent during the fir,t two months the so-ealled sixteen vearszaId law has been in operation. OuIy seventy or about per cent. of the g, 3,s7l licensed to drlVe cars sInce May l have been involved in accidents.
 The record of these youthful driY- CTS Iz better than that for any other age group during any period for which averages have been computed bv the state motor vehicle department. In 1926, for example, about 2l per cent of the operators between eight cen and twenty years of age were III accidents; about 70 per cent of those between twenty and twenty years 3 per cent of those between thirty-and thirty nine, 5 per cent of those between forty and forty-nlne and 6 per cent of those between fifty and fifty nine Between 1 and per cent of the drivers over sixty years of age were in accidents.
 There are nc statistics available regarding the number If miles oper- ated by any of the age groups. h estimating the percentage for the i6-lS year group 1t must be taken into consideration that many in this class were not licensed and operating ears during the entire two months for which figures are given. However. the same condition might apply to any of the other groups. particularly be yond the age of fifty. when large mileage and long hours of driving are the exceptions rather than a rue.
 Boys of sixteen years of age now licensed to drive ears number l,6eo, while there are l.s49 who have reach ed seventeen years. Fewer girls are applying for licenses in this age group, the first two months there be- ing only l32 between sixteen and sev- enteen and 200 between seventeen and eighteen years old
 An estimate of the number that may be expected to apply before the end of the year can be gained from consideration of the numbe of h. censed drivers in other az groups in 1926. There were ll.703 between twenty years of age; 73,l between twenty and twenty-nine; Si.stt be- tween forty and forty mine, t0 ,s60 between fifty and ffty-ninc; li.629 between sixty and sixty mine. and 2,- 926 over seventy years old.

DEMONS TRAIN
HARD FOR MIX

Mcleod Emphasizes Passing
and Shooting During
N Daily Drills

Work is the keynote Of the .,.asket-
ball practice that is being held daily
on the stamping ground Of the Bis
marck Demons as they prepare for
their second cage appearance Of the
season Friday at s p. nj. in the local
gym with Wilton as opponents.
Coach Roy ]. Mcleod was far
from satisfied with the showing that
his charges made against the Car
son basketeers and has shaken up
the aspect Of his lineup considerably
this week.
The very good reason for this &C.
tivity is the fact that Wilton will
bring = veteran team to oppose the
Capital City prides. That they are
strong may be indicated by the fact
that Bismarck ekcd out q one point
victory from the coal miners last
year and Polonski, the boy who al
most wrecked the local squad year
ago, is back again.

seems likely that they ,Mill comprise
the lineup that will face Wilton
Friday.
On the second string, Slattery and
O'Hare have been working in the
scoring posts, Ernie Benrer and
MeinhOver have been nlavinr the
pivot position while Spriggs and
Hoffman have been stampeding at
the guard lots.
"Wilton has a veteran team this
year and I will feel satisfied if the
boys win by one point" Mcleod, the
silent Demon mentor, said today.
Passing and shooting in large doses
is the prescription for this week and
if the squad doesn't show improve
ment against the northerne-s then
radical steps will be taken to rem
edy the situation

GARRISON STAR
INJURED AS HE
wins MIN0T GAME
Knocked Unconscious After
Tossing Winning Goal in
Final 80 Seconds


To win game in the last 80
seconds Of play by tipping the ball
to himself and shooting and then
to be knocked unconscious as the
final whistle blew, was the unusual
experience Of Captain Akan,, star
center Of Garrison high, when Minot
was defeated 24-22 Monday night.
Ireland and Akan, the two main
stays of the Garrison quint, almost
between them ruined Minot's hopes
of winning the fast and rough game
by caging 10 field goals.
Garrison led through the greater
part of the contest except at the
beginning Of the second half when
three baskets in rapid succession
put Garrison six points in arrears.
With 80 seconds left to play,
Minot counted from charity circle
to tie the score at 1922.
Akan then tipped the ball to HIM
self, dribbled TO the side Of the
floor, looped the ball at the net
successfully and the game was won.
1t was on the last tipoff with ten
seconds to play that Akan drove
under the net to take the ball off
the bankboard and was knocked to
the floor unconscious.

100000 Fans Saw Games in

Were Used

New York, Dec. 14.-{P)-With
the David Harums Of baseball
slightly stopped from day Of al
most constant budding, moguls Of
the major leagues bent today to the
second session of their annual con-
claves while the hot stove league
sat back and took apart initial
trades to sec what made them go.
National League club owners,
clearing their own slate before GO
ing into joint meeting with the
American League Thursday, learned
that the circuss smashed all previous
attendance records when the turn
stiles clicked 100000 times in
1927, and that .bascballs bounded
around in the center field

were only part Of 51,996 pellets

maui in anothe' new record.
With President John A. Hedlyer's
message Of prosperity out of the
way, pilots of the senior circuit put
their heads. together and out Of the
dichering can. che Of IT, foremost
trades in the off-season to couple
with a similar general bartc-. in the
American League.
Cards Lead on Deal
ST sLouis clubs led the way in
both deals, the Brown. trading
Harry Rice, outficlder and Elan
Vangilder, pitcher, to Detroit in ex-
change for First Baseman Lou Blue
and Harry Manush, smuggling out
fielder. The Cardinals shipped
Pitcher Jimmy Ring back to Phila-
delphia along with battery mate,
John Schultz i'll swap for Short
stop Jimmy Cooney, outfielder
Johnny Mokan, and Catcher Clar-
ence Jonn;.rd. Neither deal in
yolved cash considerations.
The bullish tendency Of tho ivory
market brough rumors of bigger
and better trades impending and
four clubs were reported bidding for
the services Of George Sisler, first
basemen of the Browns and def
nitely tabled for expectation by the
experts with Blue now in the st.
Louis fold. Almost every club has
something to offer the Chicago
White Sox for anyone Of -four star
pitchers--Lyons, Blankenship, Con-
nally and Thomas. The Yankees
want Pitcher Ruffing Of the Red
Sox but not in exchange for either

that George Moriarty manager of
