IN The field Of SPORTS |
A GREAT REPUTATION.
'Rube" Burroughs, Who Pitched
Here Sunday, Has Reputation.

Few young pitchers in the country
have a brighter outlook that "Rube"
Burroughs, the old Waldron pitcher,
who Is to be on the firing line this
season for the American Bridge Com
pany team in the Delaware Valley
League, and who pitched last Sun
day for the Perth Amboy team.
Burroughs turned down offers to
pitch for the Providence team of the
Eastern League, the Lancaster team
of the ri-State League and a number
of other minor league teams simply
because he wisely thought he needed
one more years experience in such
company as the Delaware Valley
League. Every baseball wise man"
who has seen Burroughs work of late
is of the opinion that "Rube" will
certainly land In the big league in a
few more seasons.
Burroughs first came into promi-
hence with the Waldron team. His
terrific speed earned him the name of
"Rube Waddell," and this name has
stuck to him ever since. Last sea-
son he was the star pitcher in the
Mercer county league, practically
winning the pennant for the Waldron
team. " tt9s9t
He Is a husky fellow, VINO can pitch
all day without turning a hair. He
has speed, control and good curves
but his control is his strong point. In
spite of his fame he is modest and
unassuming and these good traits
have made him one of the most pop
ular baseball players in this part of
the country. All of the small boys
in South renton idolize "Rube'; he
is their king; their hero, and he
wears the crown well.
Burroughs is engaged in the gro
Gerry business with his mother and
the fact that he Is so popular a base
ball player is a valuable asset. Ev-
cry small boy who is sent to the gro
Gerry store in South Trenton invaria-
bly, goes to "Rube's" store just be.
cause he wants to see the big pitcher
and talk to him while he is waited
on.

The lineup of the Waldrons, of
Trenton, shows that some first class
ball players will be here Sunday af-
ternoon to play against the local
team. 1 -,
Although John Kelly is not man
ager of the Amusement Company
team this season, The is kept on the
move selling tickets and doing other
odd stunts.
No tempting offer has been made
by a local dealer to the man who
hits a board sign this season. Last
year at the enclosed grounds Cannon
& Sheehy were willing to pay SIS
to the man sending a ball against
the G. G s. sign. Ieel '
Young Ellie is certainly making
good on the high school team, and
he sometimes keeps the players OF
the opposing team guessing.
Manager Swift, of the Cheese
brough Vaseline Works team, is now
busy trying to make arrangements
for a game with a local team, to be
played Saturday afternoon.
1t is expected that Joe Brown will
get his chance this Saturday after
moor to show how he can pitch for
the team from that factory. We only
hope that you make good, Joe.
The Little Eastons and the Little
Raritans will meet in a game this
afternoon on the diamond between
Madison avenue and South First
street.

THE PERRIELLo TRIAL.
Cross Examiners Had Capobianco, on
 the Rack Yesterday.

Ciriaco Capobianco was picture of absolute distress as he stood the cross examination by the defense in the Perriello murder trial in the su- perior court yesterday And it seem- ed cruel with what persistcncy the defense kept reminding him of the awful fate awaiting him. 1t was after the court had imposed the sentence of death on you," or while you were waiting in jail for the death sentence to be passed or you" or "after you had been sentenced to be hanged" every other minute in some form or another, until the un- fortunate mans face was distorted . with anxiety
 Capobianco could not remember a thing he stated to the grand jury or the coroner. It seems that while awaiting the sentence of tho court | in jail he received a letter from a relative telling him that he must die, | and that one night a young nan had been put in his cell and he told this companions that he hoped to get out of his awful predicament by tirnw-
  He was asked by the grand jury in the Perriello case why he had not stated before then that Perriello was the instigator of the murder. and his answer yesterday was that he could not remember what his answer was then. He would say now, however. that he was telling 1t because he knew that he must die. The defsnse objected to this answer on the ground that it was not relevant to the question and that they will prove that Capobianco told this story now, not because he knew he must soon die, if the sentence of the court is carried out, but to duplicate Pcrri- clio and thereby get off himself. Furthermore, the defense claimed that it can and will be proved that Capobianco told different story to the coroner, another story to the grand jury in his own case, totally different story when his case was on trial, and another story now. -Four different Stories in all! infamous lid outrageous" said the defense This man has an appeal pending before the highest tribunal in the state and his story now is for effect on ihis jury and the higher court"
 Capobianco could not recall scarcely anything he told tho coro- ner. He could not say if he had ever stated that he was afraid of ,he Solomitas or that they would xlll him if they got the chance. He said it was Perriello the Solomitas w.Ie after, not himself. Question and an- swer was quoted from his evidence before the coroner, but not d word could he remember. If he did say what was quoted he said what was wrong, he stated, until finally the defense drove him almost to desDer- ation and made him admit that what he did say to the coroner was false and that he knew it was false and that he was forced to say it. At this point court adjourned for the day and Capobianco was led off the stand, picture of unutterat.o woe. A moment later he was hitched to one of his keepers by means of handcuff and he was started onward to his last home, the state prison.

SIDEWALK REPAIRING.
Work Should Be Commenced as Soon
 as the Snow Goes.

A few weeks more and people will
 be calling upon the department of public works to know what's the mat
 ter with, the sidewalks. Many of
 them are sadly in need of repairs,
 and as soon as the frost gets out of
 the. ground attention should be
 turned to them and the work pushed
 until every walk in the city is put
 in proper condition for public travel.
 If the $6,000 appropriated for that purpose is not large enough to go around, let 1t be used judiciously as
 far as 1t goes and then it will be up to the aldermen to make special ap- propriation, and there is no doubt but such action would be taken, pro- vided the aldermen were satisfied that the work was being done to the best advantage. The sidewalk law
 is all right, but it has been abused and as result the public is not sat- isf1ed with it. One year the board paid two prices for doing the work, and then instead of confining the use of that money to repairs 1t has been made to answer various pur- poses, such as new walks wherever the city had to put them down, SO that the whole appropriation never was used for the purpose for which it was intended. As a matter of fact the work should be done by the day instead of by contract. A practical man with a small gang of assistants. the city to purchase the material at first cost, would come pretty near fixing all the sidewalks that are out of repair for s6,000. Talk about municipal ownership of public utili- ties. and here is small job. and yet a very important one, but so far the city has not had the courage to take hold of 1t. If the Thoms administra- ton would come to the rescue and put the sidewalks in repair It would make quite hit. And the only way this can be done is by doing the work by the day, under the direction of a thoroughly reliable foreman, who will keep an eye on the walks and fix a bad spot before it gets to be great big patch. extending the entire length of several blocks.

 George Tolwitz was charged with resistance, intoxication and breach of the peace. This man struck an- other in saloon with a pool cue, causing wound that required four stitches. Officers Dunais and Fla herty found him hiding behind the chimney in the cellar of his shouse. When they undertook to arrest him his wife fell on him and the officers foe it. They had great time in get ting up stairs and when they reach ed the sidewalk they tumbled into a snow bank. Fines of $10 and costs and $5 and costs were imposed.
 Charles Corner went home intoxi- cated yesterday afternoon and occa- stoned a disturbance at home. He was fined $7 and costs.
