Before a fair-sized crowd Pensacola

Burrneister, late of the Sally league
was in the box for the locals ana
showed all of his old time speed. He
has developed a corking good slow bali
since his last appearance on the local

dazzling speed simply stood the SOL

amer 1he first inning in which his
team mates gave him a four-run lead
and the soldiers managed TO get two
hits.
Pensacola scored in the first. Ora

sacrifice, but was safe on the pitchers

Baisden was given transportation. e.
Graham hit to second who let the pill
trickle through and Lurton and Brent
scored. Burmeister went out ending
the agony. A base on balls, two hits
and an error gave them two mora in

by the pitcher, who overthrow second
trying for a force with two gone,
gave them another in the fifth.
The soldiers lone tally came in the
sixth. Anderson was safe on J. Ora

Heinie Zimmerman Of the Chicago
Cubs, is the Mad NulIah of baseball.
When he isn't fighting with an UNI
pire or an opposing player, he's scrap
ping with some player on his own
team. His escapades this season have
been so many that the club has suf
fered thereby. Suspensions and fines
have been almost a weekly occurrence.
But heavy fines haven't had the ef-
feet of making Zirn any more peace
able. During the past fortnight or so
he has been fined 5000 but he threatens
to keep right on doing as he pIeases.
The Cubs have a fine chance for
the pernant, but the odds are against
them winning it because of the er-
ratio Zimmerman, who, judging from
past experiences, will not be able to
restrain himself should somebody cross

THREE SENTENCED FOR PERJURY
Gave False Testimony in Divorce Pro-
ceedings OF One Of their Number


James l.. Pocket of Fair Haven, age
2T years, was sentenced TO serve not
less than two and half years nor more
than five years in states prison at Wind
sor and Mrs. Lydia Manchester of Hamp-
ton, N. Y, SO, and Miss Carrie Manches-
ter of Fair Haven, 90, were sentenced To
the house of correction for two to four
years each by Judge +. G. Swinnerton
in Rutland city court Saturday for per.
Jury on the witness stand in Rutland
county court recently in connection with
testimony given in 4 divorce suit. The
two women pleaded guilty to the charge
this week and have been at the county
jail. Pocket has been out on bail, hav-
ing pleaded not guilty. Saturday he
changed his plea, States Attorney b, L..
Stafford filing an information against
him.
In the case in which the perjury was
committed James Pocket sued his wife,
Mable G. Pocket of Hudson Falls, N. Y,
to secure bill on the ground of deser-
tion. The false testimony had to do
with the presence of Pocket and Carrie
Manchester at house in Argyle, n. Y.
In discussing the case before the court
Saturday States Attorney Stafford said
that he believed that the two women
who lied on the witness stand were in
fuenced by Pocket. He pointed out
that the case was of great Importance
because of its effect on the public. There
were altogether too many witnesses who
seemed to have no idea of the signifi-
canoe of the oath they take when they
are called upon to testify before court.
Judge Swinnerton called attention to
the fact that such false testimony was
an obstruction to the administration of
justice. The severe penalty which may
be inflicted under the statute, the maxi
mum being Is years imprisonment and
81 900 fine, shows the enormity of the
crime.
There was a very fearful scene in the
court room when sentence was pronounc-
I'd, all three of the respondents, and
some of their relatives, including both
sexes, bursting into tears.
