rHICAGO.-When Samuel Baker.
~ 1106 South Wood street, had to
knock down part of his barn and re-
build 1t to get back on its feet a
horse which he had recently pur-
chased he decided that he had been
swindled by one Harry Goldstein, 1924
South Robey street, and brought suit
against him.
How David Harum was out-Ha-
ruined was shown at the hearing be-
for Municipal Judge Dolan. The horse
had been guaranteed to be able ito
lie down and get up" According to
Baker. the animal could lie down. all
right. but getting 1t back on its feet
again was like moving the Alps.
Baker testified that he had tried
the horse for one day. but had neg
lected to test It on the Lying down"
proposition. He said he returned the
horse to Goldstein and. after some
dickering, in which the purchase price
was reduced from SIPS to $50, the deal
was closed.
When he placed the animal in his
stable for the night, the horse lay
down. 1t still was lying down when
Baker went to the stable the next
morning. Baker pulled and tugged

OVER 81 FEET OF PITCHERS
Smallest Of St. Louis TwirIers 10 s
Feet II Inches, While TaIlest
ls 6 Feet In Height.

What do you think of fellow stand
ing feet IL inches being the baby OF
the pitching staff? That's the distinc-
tion that belongs to Geyer. of the ST.
Louis Nationals. He is one of ten
twirlers and he is the smallest That
is in the matter of height. When 1t
comes to slimness he isn't In class
with Slim Sallee. The southpaw has
them all beat when 1t comes to cir
conference.
It's doubtful whether there is a
pitching staff in the country that COM
pares with the Cardinal's-in height
OF the ten men, nine stand six feet or
botter. Deill, youngster, is the
giant of the giants. He is six feet
four inches tall. When he gets on the
high mound and begins to shoot his
overland fast one at the batters they
get the impression that he's standing
on a housetop.
Willis is next in line. His hair is
six feet and three inches above the
earth when he is in his stocking feet.

Every time the horne was raised a

II couldn't bulge him." Baker told
the court. "The horse lay there sort
Of helpless. Finally we had to knock
out part of the barn and drag him
out"
Baker said he then returned the
horse to Goldstein and demanded his
money back. Goldstein testified that
he bought back the horse from Baker
for $40 This was denied by the
complainant, who alleged that Gold
stein sold the horse to another pur-
chaser for $55. Goldstein said that
when the horse was returned 1t
showed signs of Ill treatment. and he
offered to prove to Judge Dolan that
1t could both lie down and get up "as
advertised" The court declined to
witness the exhibition.

James Ford was sitting on the box
of his weatherbeaten cab at the
Liberty street ferry when the Stating

evinced desire to be transferred to

they were to be driven up Fifth ave-

thoroughfare served as route to
their destination.
"Clack- k-clack- -clack," sounded the
ample hoofs of Sarsfield Aboo on the
