In the Police Court.

Mrs. Gertrude Strand-Shaub was
discharged in Justice Clark's court
when the case brought against her by
M. III. Johnson, for obtaining money
under false pretenses, was called. Mrs.
Johnson. who was really the COM
planning witness, did not appear. 1t
has developed that Mrs. Shaub's arrest
was due to a case of mistaken identity
on the part of Mrs. johnson, who paid
another young woman collector, and
thought it was Mrs. Shaub. The larg-
err part of the Grays were on hand as
witnesses to prove an alibi for Mrs.
shaub. but We're not called upon.
Timothy Hayes and David Clark,
and a drunk giving the name of Quin-
lin, were arraigned in police court this
morning All paid the costs. The ar
rests were made by Officers Edgar,

| One false move, and a bad break
put the locals down and out yesterday
the same as it often does other folks
in the less strenuous walks of life.

Disaster and disease has butted in
to thin the ranks of the local athletes,

which performed in the local out field.
Due to the Shaub- Pattison collision on
third Saturday both are in the arniea
ward for repairs. Rheumatism so tied
knots in Mr.. -Hoy's legs that he also
was absent. Mr.. Disch and Mr. John
son substituted in their stead, and Mr..
Reach presided at third for the visitors
in the place of Mr.. Pattison.
When the visitors do all the hitting,
and the locals make all the errors, it's a
cinch the former will win. Aside from
the fact that the Grays threw the
game away, the visitors We're due to
win anyway, for the locals never even
became dangerous, so we'll did Mr..
Krick, late of the Quakers, have them
in hand. The South Dakota lad, Par

a good game, but he and his support
blew up at critical moments and queer

SATURDAYS Game.

The locals again pulled off one-act
comedy, the second of the season on
local grounds, by squelching Burling-
ton in the opener Saturday to in Il
sensational finish, which not only
cinched the game, but retired the Wis
iting athlete, Mr. Pattison, who does
third base for the visitors, and put ali
additional crimp in the local Shaub $
knee which caused him to ease it later
in the day on clutches. The limping
of Mr. Pattison from the game was
due to the collision in the ninth, when
Mr.. Shaub, stretching the winning
three Dagger, tobogganed into the Wis
itors' guardian of third with such force
that the former had to be withdrawn
from his post
Excluding the second, fifth and sew
enth rounds the sensations of the ses-
sion were compressed into the ninth.
