New Automolnle Reglster Shows Ownership of 80,000 Machines Autémobile owners who bought théir cars for pleasure aré rapidly Joining the ranks of those who make the cars a source of revenye and the Jitney enterprise in Connecticut is fast changing the complexion of auto- mobile registration in the state. These facts are borne out by thé figures in the new Connecticut motor vehicle register which was issued this week from the office of the State Publish- ing company in Hartford. By com- syparson of the new addition with the last previous issue which was revised oh August 15, 1914, it will be seen. that during the past few weeks 1,000 Connecticut automobile owners have embarked in the jitney enterprise. This has taken 1,000 cars out of the pleasure car class and has increased the livery list accordingly. That Connecticut people have the automobile fever as badly as ever is ‘also evinced for the residents of the State own today 3,000 more automo- biles than they did in August 1914. This is a remarkably large increase when it is remembered that there are still two months for pleasure car reg- istration before the year's record will be complete. 1t is seen from the book that there are about 22,000 pleasure cars in the state, 3,000 commercial cars and 2,000 livery cars. The total is ap- preximately 30,000 automeobiles. The livery list has just about doubled, the main reason for this being the advent _of the jitney. _ The register is well prinfed. The " eéver is brown and the pages arée yel- low with the excéption of a white sec- " tion which contains the alphabetical list and the adveértisements on alter- nating pages. The advertising is a new feature, the previous editions having been without any. The preés- ent edition is of 30,000 coples and =a copy will be furnished the owner of each automobile in the state. It can readily be séen that the book is an expensive undertaking and, as the ad- vertising is thé only source of rev énue to be derived from it, it is' ap- parent that future editions on the game plan will depend upon the sup- port which the book secyres from these advertisers who have a desire to reach the automobile trade. HARDENBERG PLACED UNDER ARREST Lusitania Witness Caught in Cinéin. nati Expécted to Impeich Teittmony of Stahl Rogarding Guns on ILimer Cincinnati, 0., July 1.—Heinz Har- denberg, who several weeks sgo was summoned to appear before the fed- eral grand jury at New York to give . testimony in the Lusitania affidavit case, and who disappeared after being taken to that city, was taken in charge on the street here vesterday by spe- clal agents of the department of jus- "~ tiee. Hardenberg, according to the fed- eral officers said he had come to Cin- cinnati Tuesday morning ana his purpose was to seek work. The fed- i eral officers said he told them he loft ~iNew York without appearing before e grand pjury because he féared the ndemnfl.flon of hla fellow country- fflluonbeu was taken to New York, He is expected by the government to impeach the testimony of Gustave Stahl, who in'an affidavit said he haa #een guns mounted on the Lusitania en she cajléed from New York ou er last voyage.

This fellow Chaplin of Prince- ton, who pitched against Harvard, is a dandy. He has an out drop ‘that fairy talks. But see how he was handled by Salmon. His catcher failed for fifteen curve balls in suc- cession—think of it. Any pitcher who gets that can't be blamed for curving himself out of the ball park. Watch that fellow Chaplin, though, espec- ially if Kelleher catches him. Mahon throws ike he was putting the shot. I can't see him-—not very far, that is. Brickley is a fair ballplayer, even if the fellows did ride -him for “he game he put up in New York. Har- vard won the series because she had gome big husky men who stood up and slugged the ball when the time came. There's where you win games.” ROCHE TO REFEKEE GO.

T'll never forget, in my first game, How nervous I was, and so shy; But I saved the day by a hit to the hay And was sold to a team in “Three 1.” Then I was signed up with Memphis, Warming the bench there at first, 'Till T won me a home in *he out- fleld By showing a wonderful burst; Quick on the bases, and clever, Good for a hit at the bat; So was traded from them to the new P. 0.

McVEA BEATS LANGFORD. on Short End of Gate Receipts. Boston, July 1.—Sam McVea, of California, defeated Sam Langford, of Boston, in a 12-round bout at the At- las A. A. last night. Young Donahue, a former light-weight boxer himself, refereed the battle, and at the finish. without any hesitation, pointed in the direction of McVea’s corner. The battle was one of the best be tween heuvyweights seen in a local ring in a good many days. Local sportsmen have been in the habit of seeing Langford win his home match- es with uninterrupted regularity and it was strange to sée the Boson heavyweight boxer going down to de- feat round by round. McVea started in the very first round by taking a comfortable lead. Langford appeared in good enougin condition, but he lacked his old judg- missed blows he would have sent Tar Baby ordinarily over. McVea won nine out of the tweive rounds, two belonged to Langford and one ended with honors even. Lang- ford’s best round was the fifth. He ! had won the edge in the fourth by virtue of his consistent sparring and his lead appeared to give him cour- age. Up to that point he had been on the recelving end of a fine pasting. There was no ‘such thing as clinch- ing by men came together both tried inside fighting, st which style McVea ap- peared just as good as he was at long range. McVea appeared better than the night he fought Jeanette. He hit Langford oftener than he did Joe. did less clinching, boxed with better judgment and made an altogether different kind of a fight against the Hub heavyweight. Langford was in the best condition he has been in since his last trip abroad. At the first part of each round the Old Tar Baby showed a lot of pep, but towards the finish he ap- peared to wilt under the heavy body tlows and smashing left Jabs. Th lcal man tried for all that was in him. With his eye closed in the eighth round he plugged away, but to no avail. In the closing rounds MvVea scored at will., He wasted | few blows and the clouts he did land reached with telling effect. NEW HAVEN A. A, GAMES, Fine Program Arranged for July 24 At Yale Field.
