TRENTON SIGNS
KID" GLEASON

Manager John ]. Carney, Of the
Trenton Tri-State League club, yester-
day afternoon signed Harry Gleason,
the clever inhelder who was with
Harry Wolverton's Williamsport club
last season. Gleason is a fine fielder.
and until the latter part of the season
batted at a great clip.
Gleason played both shortstop and
third base for the Millionaires last sea-
son, and in both positions he did we'll.
He was also forced to play the out
field in several games. and always ac-
quilted himself admirably in that po-
sition. For man, weeks Re batted In
the 800 class. but later in the season
slumped and finished with an average
of 241. He was drafted by Jersey City
at the close of iast season.
Gleason was trying to sign with
Wilmington a couple Of weeks ago. but
the local owners thought the salary he
wanted was 100 high. so they signed
Red" Owens again.

TOM CURRY HAS A

Wants to Match His PAGER
Hattie c. AeainStthe Fleet
TrOtter Little Lady
AND OWNERS TO DRIVE

TON" Curry. one Of the best-na-
tured men on top of the productive.
prolific Peninsula, visited Wilmington
on Tuesday, and had a few lines of
thought to disseminate. Politics is not
the whole mind possessing factor in
the makeup of this man. Down at
Greenwood Mr.. Curry has a nice little
race rack and a stable full of blooded
beasts, trained to carry a man in a
rubber-tired vehicle at speed calcu-
lated to start something in the think
apparatus of those who know what
splendid animals are. These horses
have been reared where the fruits are
luscious and the flowers bloom-where
the ROSTERS clarion crow is the alarm
clock for the habitats.
But, aside from all this, Mr. Curry
has an ambition. He has a "hoss''-a
PAGER called Hattie c. And Hattie c.
is the apple with the rosy sun blush
to T. Curry.
General 7. c. dupont has a high
stepping trotter affectionately known
as Little Lady''-and this small bunch
of equine femininity can cover the
earth; but, perhaps, If matters can be
arranged as the Greenwood man de-
sires, she will get a run for her money.
In other words, Tom Curry wants a
race between Hattie c. and Little
Lady.
But-and this means something
Eom Curry insists that each owner
drive his own horsel
If this can be arranged. sport of a
nature seldom handed over in this
neighborhood will be the outcome.
The gubernatorial candidacy is a
small-sized peanut compared with the
glory that would and should accrue TO
the winner of such a race.
Walter Morris and Cliff Coates are
saving their earnings to bet on Hat
tie c.
This is a card that should bring out
the entire following If It can be ar
ranged to pull the event at the Wa

more than willing. and expects TO send
a def to General duPont-a sportsman
for the love of sport.

Frank Virgins Is FIoored by Peculiar
Question of Visitor and De-

Into the Chamber of Commerce, at the
hour when Secretary Frank Virgins
is so overrushed with work and CORE
spondence that he is tempted to call it
the chamber of horrors" came an old
woman yesterday morning.
Perplexity was Strewn with wrinkles
upon her brow and Interrogation puck

The secretary and his busy stem
ographer paused in their work

looked a second time at his guest and
offered her a chair in which to rest
Slowly she sat down, then looked up
into his face with q tired sigh and ex-
planned in the soft, tender tones of the
grandmother whom every man loves:
81 was up on the Mount Lowe trip
yesterday And I can't find them any
where. 1 thought you might have
them. Have you?"
what, madam inquired Secretary
Virgins in a perplexed manner
my false teeth said the gentle old
voice and the old woman looked quite
hopeful, for the breath of a second.
But Secretary Virgins kept his face
in deep, dignified Inland Empire re-
pose, as he swore by the newest officers
of the chamber of commerce that
neither he or his deputies were adj
dicted to the use of false teeth.
And sadly, and dejectedly, grandma
went her way.

Associated Charities yesterday when
an unknown party sent a crisp five
dollar bill to one of the officers of the

intimation of identity save that the
writer is a member of st. Marks Lu-

ter accompanying the gift reads as
follows:
ITO Associated Charities, l.. A.:
Enclosed find five dollars to- help
along in your work in relieving the
needy. I wish 1 were able to send
you five million instead of five dollars.
May God open the hearts and purse
strings of many to help in this time of
great need.
God bless you all in the good work.

'It goes without saying that we are
at a loss to discover the identity of
this generous party and thank them
personally for their contribution to
our cause" said one of the society's
officials, "but if we publish the letter
in The Herald 1 guess we will be able
to bring to their eye our notice of
thanks. The money was most certainly
acceptable in our work"

SPRINGS NEW EVIDENCE
IN HORSE STEALING CASE
Prisoner Endeavors to Show Through
TamaIe Dealer That a Man
Named Anderson En-
glneered Deal

The evidence for the defense in the
preliminary hearing of Bob Brown
and William Westfall was concluded
yesterday morning in Justice Summer
fields court and the case went over
until Thursday for argument.
At the conclusion of the hearing
Brown made an effort to show a man
named Anderson engineered the theft
of the horses from the California
Truck company's yards.
Browns best witness was Morris
Mckinney, a tamale dealer, who said
on January 9, the night on which Brown
is alleged to have tried to dispose of
the animals, Westfall, a man named
Gale and Anderson ate at his place,
and Anderson gave him a large sum
of money for safe keeping, returning
next day for 1t.
Anderson, the defense maintains, was
at the head of the gang of horse
thieves.
