 State Cop Escapes Injury
 A state policeman whose name was not learned and who was acting as escort to a group of cars from Hartford and evidently bound for one of Connccticut's shore resorts narrowly escaped injury today at the intersection of Middletown road and Worthington ridge.
 AS the line neared the intersec- ing the string of cars, forged to the head of the procession so as to direct cars proceeding northWard to stop to allow the cars going south to make the left hand turn into Middlotown road. He stopped his motorcycle and raised his hand as signal to two drivers to stop. The first of these apparently misunder- stood the signal or was too far ad- ranced into the intersection to stop
 
 The officer then started his mo- torcycle to assume his position in the center of the road when the first Of the cars in the line which he was escorting started up without warn ing, almost running down the Of f!cer, who was directly in it's path at the time. The officer made a beau t.tul stop as did the driver of the car and the only damage that re- suited was the loss of a few heart beats on the part of the occupants of the car-and probably on the part of the officer as well.
 Conlin's Hat in Ring
 AS the Herald reporter was walk ing along Main street in kensing- by the genial John Conlin, premier sportsman and an athletic promoter from the Blue Hills district. John was carrying a pint bottle of milk in his hand and as he approached the reported he remarked That he would like to give him the pint. Which might have been all right. but when he stipulated that it was 10 be siven over the head the re- porter promptly declined to accept it.
 A short talk with the gentleman brought out the fact that he was rather displeased with the claims of his rivals with regard 10 his stand on the new baseball league that is being planned,
 Mir. Conlins displeasure was oc- casioned by the assertion that the other teams had made concessions on behalf of the Blue Hills con- tingent in order to ensure it's entry into the proposed league.
 He stated emphatically that his outfit needed no concessions nor would it accept any, and he finally left after he had uttered the chal- lcnge that the Blue Hills team would meet any and all corners for fun, money, or marbles and would not
  place for the game except that no challenge would be recognized until this years hay crops had been safe ly gathered into the barns.
 When he was reminded that seV- eral of his old players from New Britain were understood to be con- sidcring deserting him and entering their own team in the league, he replied that his challenge still stood, even if he had to recruit his play CTS from a gang of woodchoppers who were engaged in clearing a wooded section of the Blue Hill1 area. As a parting shot, which was delivered over his shoulder. he shouted, "1 think I may use these men. anyway. and so eliminate any trouble from high salaried ball players
