and have a good bar act.
William Dwyer will leave on Sat-
urday for Toledo, Ohio, where he will
be given a try out for first base. The
rumor that Toledo had returned
Dwyer to Franklin whence he was
drafted last season is unfounded.
Dwyer may not be able to win the in
itial bag position, but if he plays the
ball he did year ago he should give
the other candidates a mighty close
rub.
William Lallier may be 4 menu
Der of the Reading team of the "Out-
law" league the coming season. Lal-
lier has a contract from that club,
but as yet has not signed, although
he is of the opinion that he will do
so in few days unless he changes his
plans. AS no club has any strings on
Lallier his playing in the "Outlaw"
league will not affect his standing in
the leagues under the national agree
ment.
An attempt was made on Tues
day evening to burglarize the cloth
ing store owned by Harry and Morris
Berman at $50 Bank street. The
burglars We're endeavoring to enter
the store through the back window
but made so much noise they attract
ed the attention of one Of the patrol
men on duty in this section. The
crooks must have realized they had
made too much nose before the patrol
man was near enough to nail them,
as they took to their heels. A live
ly chase then ensued, but the
would be" burglars had too much of
a start on the officer. They hustled
through back yards in manner
which showed they were familiar
with the surroundings and when they
decided to get on North Riverside
street, they were some distance from
the bluecoat. The patrolman evil
IDENTIFY came to the conclusion that
he would be unable to overtake the
fugitives and fired two shots, but
they did not connect. The patrol
man went back to the store and
found that the window had been pried
open, but the burglars had not effect
ed an entrance.
II you have to suffer from any
of the ills that flesh is heir to, IL
may be necessary to see a doctor.
The next important thing is to get
your prescription filled where you
are sure of careful attention and
pure drugs. Walker, the Brooklyn
druggist, fills the bill in this re.
