There are several Of these situa-
tions, known to every one, but COM
monty forgotten until one Of them
turns up In the personal experience.
We should not permit them to turn
up.
We should never put ourself in the
position where they can turn up.
One Of them Is the situation Just
outlined. The circle, any circle, offers
dangerous situation for the pedes-
trian, against whom all the physical
factors conspire.
Street cars tend to blot out the
sight of motorists and their bulk also
conceals the pedestrian from the man
behind the wheel.
Motorists like to speed to get ahead
OF street cars, and many Of them
seem to prefer to hug the side Of the
car as closely as possible.
This means that even II the pedes-
trian, with his eye only on the street
car, manages to get across In front
OF 1t with no risk at all, he still has
the remainder of the thoroughfare to
cross. and may find an automobile
bearing down on him.
In coming around a circle a street
car sticks It's rear out over the street,
almost obliquely, thus cutting off the
traf1lc from the sight in both direc-
tions.
Every pedestrian who values his
hide will endeavor to keep this danger
well In mind. both theoretically and
actually.
Another real danger is to pass in
front of street car in order to board
1t, even in the straightest avenue.
Here again one may run squarely
into the motorist who somehow has
not kept his eyes open, and who sud-
denly finds pedestrian between him
and the moving street car.
Another bad situation is in crossing
q street to catch car on the other
side. One Is looking up the street to
the right. for instance, and sees that
the car Is coming. The temptation is
TO hurry up, step off the curb into
the street without looking to the left.
One should first look to the left. in
such situation. and raise a hand 10
the oncoming motorman, then cross
behind 1t. never in front of it, even
II the crossing in front may be made
safely, In so far as the public vehicle
is concerned. The danger lies not
in the street car, but in a motor car.
All OF these situations are made
more hazardous by conversation.
With the best will in the world two
people in conversation will forget the
plain dangers Of traffic for the matter
in mind.
People talking together tend to look
at each other. and this is precisely
the worst thing any one could do in
crossing a modern road.
One must look at the trafic.
And one must look at 1t for as far
In both directions as he can see. since
there is scarcely any gauging the
speed Of the fellow who suddenly
spurts up in order to pass a public
vehicle or some other motorist.
Keep in mind these danger situa-
tionS.
Keep both eyes on the road. and
do not take chances at guessing an
oncoming motorists speed.
Above all. do not talk.
Conversation is sweet to most of
us, but on q modern city boulevard
it is worse than Proverbs ever dreamed
1t would be.

In Maryland some of the Democrats
are so anxious to break the hold that
Gov Albert C. Ritchie has upon the
Democratic organization that they are
seeking to send him to the United
States Senate in order to take him out
Of the saddle in Annapolis. The Gov
ernor has, however been determined
that he would seek a fifth term as
chief executive of the State. II the
supporters of Radcliffe, the Roosevelt
campaign manager in Maryland In
1892, have their way. Ritchie will go
on the ticket with the senatorial NOM
ination and Radcliffe as the guberna-
torial candidate. If both Ritchie and
Mayor jackson continue In the race
for Governor. however. the entrance
of Radcliffe may work to the advan-
tage of Ritchie. since 1t would serve
to split the Ritchie opposition. The
situation in Maryland seems well
mixed, with all kinds of sparring go
ing on. In the end the Democrats
may work themselves out of the tan
gle. If they do not, the Republicans
will live in nope. Gov. Richie doubt
less would make a good Senator, but
he might not At in completely with
the Roosevelt group in that body.
Representative Lewis, Democrat, has

Perry, Morris And
 Murphy On Fight Card Here Friday

Waterbury boxing patrons will be afforded an opportunity of see1 ing one of Connecticut's outstand- ing amateur boxing opponents, in the person of Ken Perry, home town boy, who will be featured Fri day night of this week on 10-bout program lined up for local pres entation by George Mulligan and Charley Pilkington at Buckingham Hall.
 Perry's success in all parts Of the state has been so marked that repitition is not needed at this time, and against Joe Burch of Torrington, his opponent of this week, the fans will get chance to see just how much he has ac- complished, for Burch is rated well able to bring out the best that Perry has to offer, and that Is quite good.
 Watch This:
 In addition to the heavyweight number the promoters have paired a couple of little fellows who will send the customers home happy and contented is the Spiro Norris Mike Murphy tangle. Morris, the Bridgeport banty rooster with the bad man" complex, will find a tough customer in Murphy, whose left-handed wallops have scored plenty of knockouts this past year while he, himself is almost insen- sible to punishment from the lea ther mitts.
 Andy Chichetti, a 124 pounder from Dave Kelly's stable will also be seen in action during the ten bout program which is expected to draw a capacity audience due to the long layoff of that type or entertainment, with the promoters promising that fine weekly boxing entertainment will be their reward for sustained patronage.

But from around the corners n Y the Waldorf Astoria, where the Na- tional League meets and in the Commodore, headquarters for the American, and even from the con- fines of the washrooms will drift the news.
 Managers with player swaps and Z trades on their mind will buttons hole each other and out of the subsequent buZzing will come the trades.
 The American League has little in it's schedule to bother over. Ire National League is not so forturl- ate and surveys momentous prob- lens presented by two breeds of rabbits.
 One is the duly publicized jack rabbit in the baseball. which the older circuit probably will elimiIi- ate by going back to a compromise between the jackrabbit ball and one less lively.
 The next question is whether or not an electric rabbit will run around inside Braves field at Bos- ton. The running of the rabbit isn't the point so much as the accom- panying chase by dogs and the cus- tomary betting that goes with such things.
 High Commissioner Kennesaw Mountain Landis and incoming President Prick of the National League already have announced they would not countenance the combination of dog racing and baseball. That probably settles it.
 The player trading is the big thing in the air, as indicated by several that have pushed this feat- ure of baseball off to a resounding start. The only club not mentioned one way or another as a possibility for important exchanges Is Detroit, champion of the American league, but that doesn't mean that the Tigers won't do some bartering. Their manager. Mickey Cochrane, was an early arrival.
 The world champion St Louis Cardinals are expected to make some changes. while the Red Sox fortified with Tom Yawkey's bank roll will be ready to buy everything that looks good.
 The St Louis Browns are ready to make a clean sweep of their roster, trying to get a winner.
