Evening Republican, Volume 21, Number 202, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 11 September 1917 — Auto Drivers Warned to Slow Down—Can Not Use Cutouts. [ARTICLE]

Auto Drivers Warned to Slow Down—Can Not Use Cutouts.

Drivers of automobiles who are in the habit of speeding and are running with their cutouts opened had better cease their operations if they do not care to pay a good stiff fine. The mayor has issued an order to his officers to arrest all offenders, regardless of who they may be, and the officers intend to carry out these instructions. Recently one young man had an affidavit filed against him, but after being haled into court was turned loose with a warning. There is absolutely no excuse for the way some drivers pilot their machines about the city. Many of them have received repeated warnings, which they have not heeded and if they are brought to account they will have no one to blame but themselves.

The Boston Red Sox lost more ground in their chase after the speeding Chicago club, when they captured but one game of a double header with the Washington club, while the Sox were exhibiting their wares at Beloit, Wis. The Sox have sixteen remaining games on their schedule, while Boston has twenty. To be assured of the pennant* the Hose must grab twelve games, while, Boston is annexing their entire twenty. If Chicago wins nine games, Boston must take 18 of their remaining 20. Yep, it looks like a pennant for Comiskey this year, the first since 1906, when they routed the Cubs for _the world’s title. Harry Watson and E. L. Hollingsworth went to Chicago this morning.
