So saving Mr. Lamb left IN search

For two DAYS the auto remained IN
retirement During this period Mr..
Lamb did not fret himself into a tenn
ner. I'm perfunctory way he notified
tac police I'M order that he might
know where 10 send and get the vehicle
when the joy riders got through with
t Ia due time the news came that
The ma,t,ae was lying in ditch near
tHo state ,air grounds.
Equipped with n block and tackle,
snare wheels and tires galore, Lamb
started out I'm command Of a wreckiug
crew. Bur the car didn't look so badly
bungei up as expected Just as an eN.
reriment Billy switched on the spark.
To the establishment OF an hands and
himself i'm particular. the motor start
cd Immediately without The use OF
crank or moustache TO deceive-a feat
Of which it had not been guilty IN
months Under IT'S own power Mr.
Lamp guided the car up the incline
INTO the street. Cautiously az first
and then with reckless abandon,
he drove back down WoOdward-ave. 10
Motor Row. All the way the motor
sang a glad. sweet song akin 70 that
which il had rendered the first day II
had rejoiced its purchaser, when the
raint was hardly dry on its polished
body
whoever stole that car is a me-
chanic," said Mr. Lamb as he dis

with him again want TO have him
arrange 10 take a JOY ride the next
time this old wagon gets crouch OIL.
In the meantime Mr. Lamb proudly
calls attention 10 the fact that his car
was one Of two which stood In front
% the refreshment Joint at the time
the swiping took place. The other
had been there all day and all through
the night before. its box filed with
snow. IL belonged 70 a prominent
member OF the ID. A. u. A. who had
been so busy selling cars at the show
that he mad Utterly forgotten about II.
And vet Lamb beat him TO the high
class mechanic in wait Of probably
90 minutes
Can II be that Jack Johnson Is using
the grand jury as a means OF wigg-
ling out OF the Jenries fight? One
must be on the lookout for lodges OF
that order.
While Richard and Gleason are
scrapplng why wouldn't it be good
p,av for Kalamazoo to come across
with another bid for the fight?
The hope that the Dominion parlia-
ment has settled on a means OF legis-
Iating against the runners without
hurting the trotters is something
which few will dare 10 entertain.
Speaking of foresight calls 10 atten-
ton the fact that Patsey Donovan has
had every member Of the Boston
American league club vaccinated,
prior 20 the trip south. The fate OF
Hal Chase seems to have been in
