TOMMY coNLEY IN BIG SHOW
Former Bennington shortstop viii Be
with Washlnqton

Baseball fans in this section will be
interested to learn that Tommy
Conley, the hard hitting shortstop OF
the Bennington club OF few years
ago, has signed with the Washington
Americans for next year. Manager
Griffiths OF the Senators is planning
to use the youngster as utility in
fielder and pinch hitter
1t was three years ago that Conley
performed with the Bennington club.
incidentally, this was the last year OF
the old Four City or Berkshire league
as it was sometimes called. Conley
played shortstop for the ermonters
and his work during the season at
tracted much favorable comment. 1t
was predicted at that time that the
youngster had the markings of big
Lacquer.
AT the close of the local season,
Conley, together with couple of
other players went TO Northampton
where they played in the windup OF
the Twin State series. Tommy" con.
tinued his good work in that circuit
The next year he went to the minor
league but big league scouts were
soon on his trail and Washington
signed him last spring.
After brief trial, Manager Crit
fiths decided that Conley needed more
seasoning before he was ready for the
big show. The ex-Bennington player
was farmed out for the summer but
before the season ended he was re-
called Cohley showed up well in sew
eral games and the Washington club
decided TO retain him for next year.
His work with the Senators in the
coming season will be closely watch
ed by fans in this section.

OLD AND new WAY
TO TREAT CATARRH
Breathing a Germ Killing Air En-
dorsed BY Actual Results

The discovery of Hyomei has
wrought a wonderful change in the
Treatment OF catarrh.
Prior to three years ago the medi,
cines ordinarily employed in the cure
OF this disease were drugs, sprays,
lotions, etc In some instances they
benefited, but the improvement was
not lasting.
With Hyomei you take into the air
passages OF your throat and head a
balsamic air that goes into the minut-
est cells, and should effectually kill
all germs and microbes of caarrh. Its
purpose is to enter the blood with the
oxygen, killing the germs in the
blood, and restore health to the whole
system. Many astonishing testimon-
ials have been received from those
who have been helped by Hyomei
A complete outfit is inexpensive
and sufficient Hyomei for several
weeks treatment
Perhaps the strongest evidence that
can be given to doubters, is the fact
that w. i. Gokay has so much faith
in Hyomei that he sells every pack
age under a positive guarantee to re-
fund the money if it does not relieve

that the aged ruler had declared he
was determined to die among his own
people and not to abandon his army.

Real Name of Suspect
In the La Touraine
Steamer Fire Said to
Be Schwind
NEW EVIDENCE
AT THE HEARING
All Sorts of Rumors in Connection With
Fire That Threatened Destruction
Of French Liner While on Her
= Way to Europe

Paris, April 1.-THE real name of
the man known as Raymond Swoboda,
now on trial before a court-martial on
charges of arson and espionage, is
Raymond Ruff Schwind, was developed
at the hearing, according to the
"Journal.' - The prisoners, whose ar
nest resulted from the investigation
into the fire aboaId the La TOuraine,
answered without hesitation questions
asked by Captain Julian in an effort
to establish his identity. This was the
most important point brought out dur
ing the examination.
Schwind, declaring the charges
against him baseless, complained of the
slow progress made in the Investigation
and appeared disappointed because his
lawyer was not permitted to be pres
ent during the inquiry.
Schwind obtained an American pass
port by subterfuge, according to the
"Figaro." Knowing that the munich
pal records of San francisco were de.
,stroyed in the fire which followed the
earthquake he is said to have informed
the embassy that he was born in that
city. Since it was impossible to OBJ
tain proof of this statement the EN-
bassy accepted his word and issued the
passport. The paper says his conduct
aroused suspicion and he was under
surveillance both in Paris and New
York.
A London business man is quoted
as saying that he recognized in
Schwind a man once employed by him
as German clerk who said he was
born in Bremen and that his father
was a German fiscal official.
