Former Lank Captain Dies
a Suicide.
LOCAL FANS EXPRESS REGRET
Little Fellow was Popular
Over Circuit.
Managers and Magnatcs will This
Year be Careful to Sign Players
Before They arc Allowed TO Play
as New Rule Makes Penalty Heavy
For Failure.

Marion fans today read with deep
regret of the tragic end of Charles
buster Brown, former captain of the
Janks and one of the cleverest infield-
ers in the Ohio State League. Brown
was in n Batavia N. Y. hospital be-
cause of nervous breakdown. He
escaped yesterday and walked 1S
miles to his home in Albion where he
hanged himself later
Brown was 81 years of age. He
had played with Buffalo I'm the Cast
ern league; Lancaster in the Ohio
state and finished last year with York
i'm the Tri-State after Lancaster blew
up. In the three years that Brown
played in this section ne made host OF
friends in Marion and In other cities
of the circuit. He was the real
brains OF the Lank outfit and 1t was
he, Humphreys and Justus and White
that pulled that team through to a
pennant.
Brown was thinking of accepting
an offer to captain the Canton team
this summer for Ferd Drumm.
This year managers and magnates
will be mighty careful about signing
players before allowing them to go on
the field The new rules adopted by
the National Association impose fine
of 800 for permitting player to en-
gage i'm n championship game with
out first signing "A contract. Hereto-
fore fifteen days was allowed and some
times players were with club the
greater part of the season before they
signed their contracts. The rule
goes further in that where a player
has not been signed but is allowed to
play. he may make application and be
declared free agent. This, of course.
will bring about the fining of the club
which plays him.
In this manner It is a lot easier for
officials of the league to see that every
team Is observing the salary limit.

LEsKE's MOTHER WATCHES
EVERY MOVE IN COURT
Seems More Interested In Trial Than
Son; Believes Latter viii Be
Acquitted.

Frank Lieske. now on trial for the
second time In Judge Connollys
court In connection with the shooting
of Detective Frank wilkinson. Sept
rs, 1908, is naturally, the person most
concerned in the proceedings. Yet. sit.
ting among the spectators Is woman
whose interest in the trial seems even
greater than that of the respondent.
She Is Lieske's aged mother. The
old lady's kindly face Is stamped with
a worried look and her almost tear
full ewes are constantly on her much
loved son. The mother love in her
heart Is apparently stirred as II never
was before. and II finds an outward
flow in the continual train OF sym
pathy and encouragement which runs
between mother and son. She watches
the witnesses closely and their every
word is eagerly listened TO. In spite
OF the former conviction, the mother
declares she is confident the present
jury will acQuit her son.
Attorney Edward s. Greece, who Is
defending Lieske. stated Wednesday
morning that the defense would stick
TO the alibi used I'm the former trial.
He made this statement in response
TO a suggestion that he planned To
plead self-defense in behalf of Lieske.
