on His Veracity.

Judge ]. l. Treadway. of Pittsylvania.

Der OF the Williamsburg Hospital board
The general board issued resolution re-
ferring TO a publication that appeared IN
this paper during the Williamsburg inves-
LEGATION last summer in which II was
stated that Judge Garrett had given Ger
tain testimony. After printing the ex-
cerpt. the general board issued a signed
statement denying that the matter as 10
which Judge Garnett had testified was
ever before the board
Now. however. the board comes back
with a disclaimer or any intention 20
reflect upon the veracity or character
OF Judge Garrett. and Furthermore adj
rnits that the matter as 20 which Judge
Garnett testified was an issue before
the special Williams burg Hospital board.
It explains that the two boards prob
ably became confused IN his mind. and
that In denying that the discussion
quoted occurred in the general board.
the members thereof were not aware
that such a discussion had previously
occurred IN the local board. and which
was subsequently settled by the full
board at It's meeting later Concluding
its statement, the board SAYS.
"No man In Virginia stands higher for
veracity and in every other way than
does Judge Garnett. and we never meant
70 attack his veracity"
MI Turk agrees with the statement
made BY the other members. save that
his recollection IS that the discussion
occurred az Marion. He did not sign

CANS DONATES To
AID NJ GOVERN

That sporting men are more willing 10
aid a man in distress than men in other
callngs has been proved again by the evil
dent desire OF Joe Cans and Kid Herman,
who are TO fight at Tonopah on New
Years day To help Terry McGovern, the
former featherwelght champion, who is
down aud out.
Wednesday a telegram was received
from Sam H. Harris, who had acted as
Terry's manager for a long time past,
asking that Cans and Herman be present
to assist at bencht TO be given McGov-
ern In New York late In January. Herman
Immediately wired that he would help,
and Cans answered that, II possible for
him to do SO. he will be there and do
everything possible 90 assist
Yesterday there came another request
from Harris. He wanted 20 know If the
Nevada camps could raise a benefit purse
for McGovern. Cans was present when

said. So the subscription began, and be-
fore IL is finished Harris may be assured
that Tonopah and contrlbutory camps
will have made tho sum handsome.
Cans voiced the opinion OF the fighters
when he said: There isn't anything l
wouldn't do for n fighter who Is up
against IL. Terry undoubtedly is He
needs help. Where could the help come
from but from the men in the same game
10 which he devoted his life?"

ALL COME HIGH

Does Il cost much 10 buy recruits for

Ask President Hermann OF tho Reds
for an affirmative answer. lie will tell
you that UP 10 Jan. !, 1907. the Cincinnati
club will have invested the sum OF sos
o. in players during the twclvemonth
preceding. and the talent for 1907 will
cost even more, as second payments must

they arc retained by the local club
Salaries railroad fares and hotel bills
are not the only expenses that a base
ball club has during the season." said
President Hermann The purchase of
new men is a much greater item than
is generally credited. Our books show
that from Jan. I. 1906. up 20 the present
time, We have expended the enormous
sum OF se5,se2 for players. OF course. we
