RICHARDSON
TO DAVENPORT
President Sexton Decides Con-
test Over a Baseball
Player.
HAD SIGNED WITH ROCK ISLAND
But iowa Club Had Previously
Accepted His Terms
Notes.

President NJ. H. Sexton has decided
in favor of Davenport in the contest
over L. F. Richardson, of Marengo,
Iowa, whose name had been secured
to Rock Island contract. He was
to play second base here.
Richardson, it was learned, had, be-
fore opening negotiations with the To-
cal club, submitted terms to Davenport
and they were accepted. Afterward,
seeing chance to get larger salary,
he applied for berth here and got it.
Hence it was decided by the president
that Davenport had both a moral and
legal claim on richardson services
over Rock Island. He is young and
promising player. As Rock Island
has two other men signed to try for
the position at second, Richardson
will not be missed.
New Rules to Govern.
Several of the clubs have made in
quiry of the president whether the
league is to be governed by the new
or old rules of the National league
AS the National law provides that all
leagues playing under its protection
must observe its rules, MIR. Sexton
gives it as his opinion that the Three
Eye will be obliged to abide by the
new rules, although they are not just
to the liking of players

Vegetable Thief Caught.

For long time the truck farmers
who leave their goods in front of South
Main avenue stores carly in the morn
ing have received complaints from their
customers that quantities have been
stolen from time to time. The farmers
and dealers have been on the lookout
for the thief for some time, hut their
vigilance was not rewarded until yes
tcrday morning
Vegetables were left in front of J. j.
Evans and Prothcroe's stores on South
Main avenue about o'clock and an
half hour later an elderly woman ap-
pcarcd at both places and helped her
self to green goods. She was caught
in the act, but allowed to go home on
the promise of refraning from such
petty thicving in the future.
The woman claims she is too poor to
buy and offers that as an excuse for
stealing the vegetables. The name of
the woman is withheld for the sake of
the family. as the merchants are not
inclined to prosecute her.

ing a silver watch and chain from him,

serving six months for larceny. He
went tn his fathers house and asked
shelter for the night. which was grant

After purchasing the ticket, the elder

young Palmer denied the charge, and
began to state his side of the case. BE-
fore he had concluded, he practically
convicted himself out of his own mouth.

dressed himself and took UP Mere

Today Mr.. Meredith will take up

Not a Good Joke.

John Hughes, who owns a horse with

and some of his friends have used this
as lever to have fun at the expense

several months ago the horse disap-
neared and after a time it was located
at Duryea. where one of Mr. Hughes
friends took it and sold it.
Last week the horse again disap-
peared. and after a time it was located
in livery stable at Pittston. The
owner recovered it after paying Sl7
charges. Mr.. Hughes has decided that
this is too much, and is making an
earnest search for the man with the
misplaced sense of humor. If he dis
covers him the joker will have a chance
to make an explanation to a magis-
