Indicative of the need of a traffic ofticer at Upson's Corners, a prom- inent resident of Kensington who resides near the corners, has com- «plled statistics to show the actual trend of automoblle traffic for sev- eral days. The count, according t¢ the sta- tistioian, included trolley cars and bésses beside the regular automobile traffic and ne special care was taken to keep count on the espacially heavy daya, the figures being kept hap- hazardly, as an appraisal of the av- crage traffic. The first day checked tp was Sun- | day, June 5, when 261 autos passed the corner from 2:30 to 8 o'clock in the afternoon. On Saturday, June 11, from 12 o'clock noon until 12:30 o'clock, 197 cars passel. Sunday, June 12, saw 193 cars swerve around the corner from the Beech Swamp road to Farmington avenue betwee the hours of 2:45 and 3:10 o'clock. On Friday evening, the first or- dinary day counted, 128 cars passed from 7:45 o'clock wuntil 8 o'clock. Sunday, June 19, in spite ¢f the rain Wwhich kept up all gay, accounted for 203 cars from 2 to 2:45 o'clock; 108 cars from 7:15 to 7:30 o'clock, end 87 cars from 7:45 until 8 ©'clock. On Monday, June 20, 127 cars passed between 7 and 7:20 o'clock. Tuesday, June {1, between 7:45 and $:30 o'clock, the observer jotted down 312 cars. Sunday, June 26, 310 cars were checked between 3:45 and 4:15 o'clock. The observations by the Kensing- ton resident have greatly aided po- lice authorities in figuring the hours of greatest need for an ofiicer. Sun- day and holidays show a great in- crease over ordinary days and yet xensingtonians point ont that eve- nings bring heavy traffic to the cor- ner, which would point to the need of 4 part time officer ut the peak hours on week days as well as Sun- days and Saturdays. Ventres and Baker Confer Harold D. Ventres, president of the American Legion baseball league, and Paul Baker, chairman of the athletic committee of Bolton- Kasica post, which sponsored the league, will meet this evening to confex on possible action against the ‘West Cromwell Yellow Jackets, members of the four team lcague. The Yellow Jackets have been a source of considerable trouble since tho beginning of the !2cgue, two weeks ago, having defeated both the East Berlin Boys’ club and¢ the Kens- ington Bays' eclub by large scores which have been protested by the losers as belng won unfairly. Ventres today, when asked for his epinion on the matter, suid: “Altheugh 1 saw neither of the games, sych tactics, if reports ape well founded, will not be tolerated. It:is the object of the league to pro- mote ‘geod sportsmanship and good baseball players and wa have ne room for either collegs stars or foughnecks. They eithes play clean 00 BOYS’ BLOUSES Sport and regwar, fancy and plain, frogs, white, | value to $2.00, | lar $1.00, pair regular Vi stitched tops, ball or don't play. Baker and I will |of Arc; Maid of France; Latest of | (jarjes ¢l probably get in touch with Jarvis Dowd who referred the game and get his opinion on the matter. It seems strange that both games should produce such a holler without some basis for the crigicism."” He further added that it is pos- sible that ths team will be excluded from the league and the Kensington Boys' club Junior team will take its place. The Juniors, rccently formed, are composed of boys under 15 and will be under considerable handicap, but Legion officials favor their par- ticipation in lleu of discord such as has resulted, from the Yellow Jack- ets tactics, Ventres stated, An anunouncement conzerning the result of this evening’s conference will be made tomorrow. A letter trom Steve Gabany, as- sistant manager of the Yellow Jackets, which was rececived today, removes a large part of the problem from Legion sheulders. Gabany states that the Yellow Jackets are through; that they have stepped out of the league, thereby *getting one Jump before them.” He states that the team entered the league under the conditions that they have the same personnel they h: last year under the names of the “Collegians™ and that if any kicks were to be made they should have been filed before the beginning of the season. Steve also adds that “Now in poor sportsmanship they are kicking but they're kicking with the wreng foot 1 but it is too late.” It is generally be- !liaved that the informal resignation of the team will be accepted by the league officials. Court Tonight Deputy Judge Ernest W. Mildrum will preside this evening at the reg- ular Tuesday evening session of the : Barlin town court. Several cases are slated for disposal including a state case which was postponed sev- eral weeks ago to allow witnesses to come from Brooklyn. Henry Foiren will also appear to answer' charges of driving while his license was suspended. Axel Solomon of High street, New Britain, will appear to answer a charge of reckless driving. Solomon was arrested by Officer Frank Brown after a crash last Tuesday evening on the turnpike, |sending two of the participants to | New Britain General hospital with painful injuries. Judge George G. Griswold, local | magistrate, is visiting friends in Ver- mont. ter, Miss Mary E. Griswold. They intend to return to this place in the near future. They lLose After announcing that his team | Lewis A. Griffith of the Kensington { Congregational church indoor base- | ball team, threw a surprise into the ranks ef the Inter-Church league when he appeared with his full team at Willow Brook park to take on the First Lusheran church team of New Britain. /I'he game ended with the score 4 to 0 in favor of the New Britain | squad, the local churchmen playing a nice gathe in the infield but finding it difficult to collect the necessary | bingles. Kensington's lone hit came in the final frame and the game ended before it had a chance to do much good. Coach Griffith announced that he had decided to keep the team in the field until the return of Rev. Vernon L. Phillips, who is in Virginia. At that time he will put the question to the local pastor as to whether or not the team shouyld disband. Grif- fith previously stated that conflicting dates between the indoor team and other aggregations which had mem- bers of his team enlisted in their ranks, had convinced him that it was hopeless to continue activities.

On the occasions when they served there were no accidents and the plan was #hought to he greatly | successfnl, but last Sunday the offi- cers were not placed on duty and no smash-fips occurred. It was fur- ther believed thate traffic moved more rapidly when the officers were not dirccting it, as the cars wormed without being held up. Coustables William Buys and Thomas Royce, who served as traf- fic offieers, are in agreement with these opinlons and believe that a man in uniform on the sidewalk would serve to curb speeders with- | out forcing the stopping of one er | more lines of traffic, when it is directed by either an of- ficer or electric lights Linc-ups Are Announced.

Owing to the high salaries paid some of its players, however, it is feared it will be necessary to charge a small admission fee to see the game. | Accident at Center A touring car opcrated by Santo Licordato of 70 Church street, Bris- tol. and owned by Carmen Licordato | of the same address ran into a sedan | driven by Gerald P.

Judge nings felt that, with his chairman of the bo: he would be unabl essary time to district affairs, Judge Jennings was | early in the year to the board of { education to succced Noble Pierce, who resigned after a ce of oVer 40 years in educational affairs of the city. At a meceting of the board of education following the judge's appointment, he W j elected chairman because of his | wide knowledge of school matters. { For a number of years, before the appointment of Karl A. Reiche as | superintendent of schools, Judge Jennings acted in that capacity, After Judge Jennings' refusal to | reconsider his resignation, a vote of thanks for his services to the dis- trict was passed by the resident On motion of William J. William P. Calder, vice-president of the Bristol National bank and the American Trust Co., was elected chairman to succeed Judge Jen- nings. Mr. Calder has long been interested in civic and educational affairs in the city and his selection is felt to be a wise one. Discuss Additional Faciliti Judge Willlam J. Malone presided as chairman of the tmeeting and William Muir served as clerk. Judge Jennings brought before the meeting the subject of additional facilities at the John J. Jennings school and upon a motion presented by him, it was voted that the dis- trict committee be authorized to procure plans for a four room ad- dition te the Burlington avenue ! school. The average attendance per | room at the Federal Hill school, it was pointed out, during the past vear was 36 pupils while the avernge enrollment per room at the Jen- nings school was 40. The ideal avor- age enrellment is 36. At the John Jennings school during the past { vear. there was one room with 53 pupils. Basing his judgment on the average increase in enumeration, Judge Jennings did not recommend that the building be constructed this {summer but thought that the addi- | tional rooms would be required in 1928. The committee will request Wilzon Potter, the architect who de- signed the Jennings school, to sub- mit plans for the addition. Tt was also pointed out that during the past year there were 104 pupils at- tending the Federal Hill school, who should have heen taken care of at the Jennings school. A survey made by Principal Thomas Patterson of the Federal Hill school indicated that at present there were 49 tenements in process of construction in the vicinity of the | John J. Jennings school. It *was | found that the average for the dis- trict for each tenement was 1.8 pu- pils. The proposed four room addition, when approved by the voters, will b2 erected on the north wing of the present schoel building so that in later years a similar addition may be erected on the south wing, mak- ing an architecturally balanced building. Judge Jennings did not consider the erection of a schoolhouse at the corner of Farmington and Jerome avenues feasible at the present time, as the enumeration showed that { there were only 31 children living in | that immediate vicinity, and the dis- tance to cither the John Jennings or Federal Hill schools is less than a mie.

One of the battles was staged in the woods while the scene of the second en- counter was in the center of For- estyille, John Liss, who engaged in a fight during the afternoon with Tefll Drunzik, received a fine of $15 and costs. The court was inclined to- ward leniency because of the fact that the spot selected for the battle was an isolated one. John Yarinchik, who was one of the principals in the fight with Drunzik in the Forestville center, was fined $25 and costs. Drunzik, who took part in both fights, received the heaviest fine, $50 and costs being »d by the court. This was @is fifth arrest.
