OPIUM SMOKER] FINED
LEE JIM PAYS FINE BUT WILL
CONTINUE TO USE DRUG AS
LONG AS HE LIVES.

Lee Jim, an aged and feeble Chinese,
was arraigned before Justice of the
Peace Webster this morning ON the
charge of having opium and "yen-
shea" in his possession. After hear
ing the testimony of the arresting Of
ficers, Gaines, Stanton and Cooper
Justice Webster sentenced Lee Jim to
pay fine of 800 and suspended ex-
ecution of Judgment providing the
defendant paid the costs of the action.
The costs amounted to $3.50 which
Jim paid.
This is the sequel Of the recent Wig
bCouB prosecution instituted by the
State Board of Pharmacy when nine
local Cinnamon were arrested for
smoking opium, Before the Board
could reach its special attorney in the
first cases, the Orientals were brought
before Police Judge Elgin and after a
brief hearing, turned loose. At the
direction of Frank s. Ward, the
Boards secretary, the smoking equip
ments were held as evidence by the
chief of police with the object in
view that the owners would be prose
cuted further by the State. In the
meantime the nine Cinnamon fled
from the city.
Constable Cooper was instructed to
arrest the first that returned, and
Lee Jim was arrested when found in
the Salem China town.
Evidence this morning showed that
Lee Jim was guilty Of having the
drug on his person and counsel foi
the defense, Judge P. H. darcy
practically admitted that his client
has been and will continue to use
opium all his life, and that while HI
might be guilty of violating the anti
drug act, the state had no right t
single him out for prosecution.
Board Disappointed.
Secretary Ward, of the pharmae,

he learned that Lee Jim had beei

Dahlen, until recently the manager
of the Brooklyn Nationals.
"Dahlen always came straight down
the baseline, directly at the base. but
in the last ten feet of the distance
there was no telling what he would
do. He had great way of antici-
pating where the throw from the
catcher was coming, and he played
his slide to a nicely. Coming straight
along, he suddenly would fall down
on his hips, to one side or the other,
spread his legs and then use the
greatest cleverness in pulling out of
reach and twisting himself to hook
the base with either foot.
Bill by no means was the only
man who used this famous hook
slide, but he did it to a nicely He
never was particularly dangerous

BASEBALL NOTES.

Richmond baseball lovers propose
to have a good team this season and
have called a meeting of the faithful
for Tuesday evening, when plans will
be discussed for a better exhibition
of the national game than ever in that
town, and that will be going some.
Tim Murnane writing for the Red
Sox training camp at Hot Springs
says: up to date Manager Carrigan
has not thought of shifting the wheat
from the chaff. He has given every
one of the youngsters a chance to
show his worth and has coached each
: man in fine style. In fact Carrigan is
the best eoacher of players in the
Spring work that 1t has been my
pleasure to witness and he will take
his team North in fine physical shape
Harry Henderson, a right handed
semi professional pitcher of Haverhill,
Mass, has signed with Lawrence for
! a try-out this season. He is a brother
of Henderson, the clever first sacker
who will be remembered by local fans
. as playing on the Augusta team of the
old Trolley and State leagues, and aft
erwards on Biddeford and the Pine
Tree team of South Portland. Harry
Henderson, the young twirler worked
against Portland in an early season
, practice game which the Duffs played
at Haverhill with local picked team
last season, and showed considerable
stuff.
According to a despatch from Hot
Springs, Manager Bill Carrigan of the
Boston Red Sox has been doing some
missionary work for Joe Burns and
Jsaiike McDonough, the hackers of the
Lewiston club. of the New England
League. As result. one or two young
players from Pittsburg and Indian
apolis are expected to wear Lewiston
uniforms this coming season. Messrs.
: Burns and McDonough leave for home
next Tuesday. They are at the
Springs.
, One of the very promising young
pitchers signed to play with Lowell
this season in John Banding of Villa
: nova college, y. Y. Blanding is hus-
ky young man, said to possess a wealth
OF benders and lots of steam. With
Villanova college, last year, he made a
record that won him recognition and
brought him several offers frcm big
league scouts, but he preferred to do
business with minor league team,
with the idea of acquiring experience.
Put a manager of the calibre of Jim
my Gray or Louis Pieper in this town
and give the fans a team capable of
breaking even in the won and lost
column and nothing short of city hall
, and the Postoffice would be too good
for him. With past records still fam
iiar in the minds of every fan, Dan
, Clohecy, with a pennant chaser, would
hardly draw enough to cover the cost
of painting his initials on his new box

tells an amusing story regarding the
painting of the Flagstaff at Washington
park, indianapolis. A painter con-
tracted to paint the flagstaff for SO. He
went out to the tall pole with his paint
and brushes and soon was "cooning
toward the top. The pole began to
sway a bit and when the painter had
got within three feet of the top he was
seen to come sliding down again.
whats the matter?' McGill asked.
i've got to get a drink" was the re-
ply.
The painter hustled off to a nearby
bar, had his drink, returned to the pole
and the next thing McGill saw was his
painter diligently applying fresh
coat of paint to the flagstaff that is to
fly the 1914 pennant.

young players by keeping them on the
bench to watch the older men.
Never leaves the bench during a

ly from the seclusion of the bench.
Always on the alert to detect oppos-
ing batsmen's weakness. Can solve
them better than his pitcher or catch

fox hunting in Scotland several weeks
ago, Harry Payne Whitney, who just
arrived home from a trip abroad, said
that he would be unable to take part
in the International polo matches this

was fractured and his right elbow
dislocated by fall from his horse, and
this will incapacitate him from any
strenuous work probably for a month.
He said he expected to start train

month, and that he might play on d
scrub team
