w. j. Mayhem Held fer Obtaining
Money Under False Pretenses.


Charged with obtaining money under
false pretenses w. f. Mayhem, of
Westfield, has been arrested by
County Detective Edward Brennan and
lodged in the Morris county jail here.
Members of the Morris County Poultry
Pigeon and Pet Stock association
are behind the prosecution of Mayhem
Last fall he visited the poultry show
given by the association and inter-
ested about sixty members in his
proposition.
His scheme was to furnish dayold
chicks, Matched from eggs specified
by the purchaser and delivered ae-
cording to a pre-arranged plan. May
hew did business, it is claimed, as
the American Hatchery Co.
Time of shipment for many of the
purchasers was the first of this
month. They heard nothing of May
hew and as they had with one ex-
eeption put up from three to ten
dollars apiece as a deposit they be-
gan to get nervous. Allan Carpenter
OF the association visited Westfield
Sunday and made an investigation.
He found that Mayhew, though claim
ing to do business in Plainfield, only
had loek-box there and that he live
in hotel in Westfield Mayhem re-
fused to see Carpenter when the
latter called to see him.
Watson Guerin swore out war
rant before Justice Isaac r. Pierson
yesterday as a result of Carpenters
Investigations. Guerin had paid 81
in advance and though the time for
delivery was long past could get no
thing from Mayhem The latter is
held for the grand jury being unable
to secure bail.

MORRISTOWN A. A.
TO HAVE STRONG TEAM
Manager John j. Todd is Book
ing Games for the Locals

With the announcement that James
J. Lyons has decided against putting
a senli-pro team in the field this sea
son Morristown viii look to John J.
Todd and his Morristown A. A. for
its professional ball Games will be
played by the team on Speedwell field
and at Cleveland park, at the former
on Saturdays and holidays and at the
park on Sundays. April Both the sea-
son will open but Mr.. Todd has not
yet selected the team that viii start
the ball rolling.
The Morristown Athletic association
has joined the Interstate Baseball as
sociation, embracing teams in New
York, including Long Island, and New
Jersey and Connecticut This assoc
iation strives to kill off the mush-
room teams that book games only for
the guarantees by blackiisting them
and only trustworthy teams giving
good references are given representa-
tion in the association. In consequence
of this utilization Mr. Todd viii favor
the teams of the association in his
booking this season. Morristown
made a reputation last year when
every team visiting here went away
pleased with their treatment whether
they won or lost, and all were anxious
to play return games here.
At meeting of the association
held in New York this week a paper
by Mr.. Todd was read dealing with
the duties OF home manager in
which he set forth the necessity of
giving references and giving visiting
teams a square deal. There are
about 100 clubs holding membership
in the association.
Though his schedule is not yet
complete Mr. Todd has booked sew
eral teams The Ridgewood A. G.
the Orange B. B. c., that took three
out of a series of five games from
the locals last season; Plainfield,
Chatham, Hanover F. c. of Glendale,
l.. L., the All-Brooklyns, The Brigh-
ton F. C and the American-Nationals,
of Brooklyn, are among those already
down for games.'
Manager Todd is standing pat on
the makeup of his team. James Ma
loney~wil be on first, Robert tIilloak,
the Seton Hall player, viii cover the
middle station; Louis West, who
starred with the Parksides, will be at
short field, and Michael A. Doyle, the
old Laokawanna Lacquer, will play at
the hot corner and captain the team.
Mr.. Todd will make a shift in his
outfield, however, Tommy Markey
going to left and William Lyons be-
ing placed in center The right gar
dener will be Thomas Dempsey.
The batteries Will be as last year.
George Lacey, the locals port slider,
will head the list Manager Todd
hopes to get Swenson back again this
year though Walter is booked for a
tryout with Jersey City Eddie
Welch, the boy phenom, will also be
ready to go on the rubber. Charles
Ahles and Buster Sturgis are slated
to do the backstop work IL. Brad
ley, of Newark, who handled the in
dicator so satisfactorily last season,
will again do the umpiring for the
team this season
Mr. Todd says that he has under
way schedule of games that will be
superior to any played in Morristown
since the days of the Lackawanna
league.
