HERE {s a section in the motor vehicle ordinance which prohibts the use of a car bearing the dealer's plates on any but official dem- enstrations and missions. No one is allowed to use these plates GEO.ROBERTSON, when the car is utilized for pleasure purpor A demonstrator for one of the local concerns was fined re- cently because he took several of his friends to the Grand Central Station in a machine carrying the dealer's plate. The officer’s claim was that the driver was not on official busi- ness, Beware of Sunday rides in these cars. It is a timely reminder for drivers who have just returned to town to remember they are no longer in the country. Many of them still have the tendency to turn corners fast and to exceed the safe limit of the city, A few fines will cure these thoughtless drivers of this practice, but this should be unnecessary. Always keep in mind that fifteen miles an hour is the speed limit, but that twenty miles af hour are permitted where conditions warrant it. Four miles per hour fe the maximum speed allowed for turning corners, and the enforcement of this law {s very strict. When passing a public school, or approaching Bridges the limit of speed is ten miles an hour, ay ANSWERS TO LETTERS.

[« the United States the Boston Braves would be elected cham- pions of the world without even hav- | ing to play the Athletics. Undoubt- edly they are the most popular ball club that ever became a pennant winner. The fans in every city and hamlet In the country—with the pos- | sible exception of Philadelphia—are | pulling for them to win the big title. | New Yorkers, almost to a man, have . become ardent rooters for George Stallings, and this is not due to any particular dislike for the Athletics | or chagrin over the defeat of the| Giants, either. They simply admire the Braves for dhe fight they have, made to lift the club out of the low- ‘ly position it has held for years. As to whether this feeling behind the Braves can help them to over- come, the powerful machine of the Athletics is problematical. Unfor- | tunately, few baseball titles have} ever been won on sentiment. Any ball player will tell you that a club can play better when the men know the crowd Is with them, but that may or may not have any effect in a world’s series of seven games, But it is this pop@larity of the Boston club that has placed the bet- ting odds at 10 to 7%. Under ordinary circumstances a@ ball club of the cali- bre of the Braves would be a long shot, with the Athletics favorite at odds of 4 to 1. “On paper they figure about that and there is no way of getting around it. ‘Phe fan knows that just as well as do those who have been unearthing figures by the yard, Just the same, many of these fans are playing the Braves purely on a “bunch,” and that feeling has gripped some of the callous old scribes who have been following the game for fifteen years or more. A lot of men invest for- tunes on a “hunch,” with absolutely no explanation for their action, and this begins to look like one of those times. The Braves will go into the World's Series carrying more money than any club of recent years. There was comparatively little betting on the Giants and Athletics last fall.

Neither of them is an extraordinary base runner, An fielders they rank about even, shade the best of it, It is dificult to compare the out- fielders because Stallings uses differ- ent men against different pitchers. Against right-handed pitchers his outfield will be made up of Moran, Connelley and Whitted; against left- handers he substitutes Mann and Cather for Moran and Connelley. Tho Athletics’ outfleld, made up of Eddie Murphy, Oldring’ and Strunk, has a batting average of 2 Tho hest batter in the Boston outfleld te Connelley, with an average of 318, but none of the others comes within ten points of the lowest man among the Mackmen, It is dificult to compare catchers jon their records. ‘There is no method by which we can tell from figures how often # catcher calla the turn on the base runners, or how often he makes slow pegs to the bases, There- fore, it becomes largely a matter of personal opinion.
