TO DISPENSE WITH TRAFFIC OFFICERS Thought That Direction Slows
 Down Sunday Auto Traffic LINErUPS ARE ANNOUNCED
Henry Trumbull Slated to Pitch Tomorrow Night-Touring Car Rams Sedan at Centcr-EactoTy League Tonight-Se.Inours Mar
 ried Ten Years-Bricfs.

The use of traffic officers at Gen. tral square and Blossoms corner, instituted three weeks ago will be abandoned in the future as unneces- sary. On the occasions when they served there were no accidents and the plan was thought to be greatly successful, but last Sunday the olfi- cers were not placed on duty and no smash-tps occurred. It was fur ther believed that> traffic moved more rapidly when the officers were not directing it, as the cars wormcd in and out through the various lines without being held up. | Constables William Buys and 1 Thomas Royce, who served as traf- fic officers, are in agreement with these opinions and believe that 8 man in uniform on the sidewalk would serve 10 curb speeders with l out forcing the stopping of one or more lines of traffic, as is done 1 when it is directed by either an of ficer or electric lights.
 Linc-ups Are Announced.
 The probable line-ups for the big l game between the office and factory teams of the Trumbull Electric Mfg O., Modern Production club | were announced today as follows: Office--C. II. Nancy and Henry Trumbull. D; Captain F. G. John son, C: S. S. Gwillin and ]. r. Ber- gen, ss; r. H. Powers. 1b: J.. j.. Brastow and II. Stillman, cb; B. S. Getchel. Sb: E. T. Brastow. If: C.. A.

 The factor team which will take rart in this 40 to 90" year ball game has had several secret prac- tice sessions under the watchful eye of Captain Rutland and has no doubt as to the outcome of the game. Owing to the high salaries paid some of it's players. however, it is feared if will be necessary to charge a small admission fee to see the game.

strengthen republican state organiza-
tions.
Mr.. Butler declared tina he refrained
from discussing either candidates or
issues on his trip but whe masked how
many he times he had been questioned

for denomination, he replied:
IT didn't keep count"

ENGLISH PRINCES ARE
DANCE HONORS RIVALS

LONDON, May R-The prince
of Wales and his younger brother,
Prince George, vie with one another
for the honor of being the best
dancers in the royal family The
duke of York only dances fairly
we'll, and admits it, but he holds
the palm SO far as the tennis court
is concerned, as none of his brothers
has ever been able to fathom his
left hand deliveries.
Prince Henry, the third son of the
King, who has just celebrated his
9th birthday, is easily the best
cricketer of the family. Prince
Henry, too, is fond of hunting and
often rides with the prince of wales,
but frankly confesses that the heir
to the throne is a much better rider
than he.
Il fall, or am thrown, nearly as
much as Edward the prince said
to some of his friends after a recent
hunt, "but the public doesn't hear
of it."

MOTOR BOAT TAXTS
ON GERMAN WATERS

- BERLIN, May (P)-River and lake
taxis are the latest innovation to
be introduced on the extensive water
ways surrounding Berlin.
With the approval of the authori-
ties and pending the official safety
test requisite for procuring a state
license, a firm of motor boat builders
is constructing a large number of
motor boat cabs for pleasure seeking
Bcrliners.
The aquatic taxis will be dis
tinguished from other motor craft
by the same black and white check
cred boards marking the taxicabs
of Berlin and many other German
cities, and by the conspicuous taxi
meter at the drivers right hand
They will seat from three to four
persons comfortably, though larger
boats accommodating six or seven
persons are also to- be given a trial.
