None could identify the defendants, and were obliged to admit on cross examination that the noise was made by the audience. All the witnesses for Nthe defense agreed that the S. 900 or 5000 people in the park made less noise than a political convention or a Salvation Army of equal sine. Not one could imagine the noise made as being more disturbing than church bells, rumbIing of wagons pro sessions or cable cars. The justices 2 decision was postponed.

Special Sunday Matinee Excursion

For a quiet, restfu1 Sunday trip, it is fully realized that no water outing compares with the matinee excursion on the steamer Park City to Port Jef- ferson. The steamer leaves the wharf at the foot of Fairfield avenue at 1:30 p. m., arriving in this pretty Long Island village at 3 o'clock and the return trip Is made, leaving Port Jefferson at 30 D. m. Thus one can spend three hours on the Sound and one hour and thirty minutes in New York state. Special low fare prevails Children under 12 years of age half fare.-Adv.

Harry wolter, g Today,
 Now Star in Coast League

Harry Wolter, former star right he1der of tho New York Yankees and now with the Los Angeles club in the Pacific Coast League, will begin his fhirtieth year tomorrow At the rate he has been travelling with the Angels, Harry is due foF another 'teome back into the main show. It was a run of major league birth. He was one Of the leading batters of the American League 1n 1ez1, sYyakt1ng the pill for an average of BOA that year. Early in the 1912 season he broke a leg The fracture tncapacatated him almost all of that season. and when he re- ported to Frank Chance the following year he made a very poor showing. He was not only unable to cover the bases with his former speed, but his batting eye was also sadly afflicted, and he fell off in base stealing and fielding to such an extent that Chance released him Wo1ter refused to ac- cept the theory that his playing days were over, and with the Angels he soon demonstrated that be had recov- cred his oId-ttTne form Last year he played in 205 games for the Los An sgeles club. and hung up a batting average of .328. This year he has been slanming the pellet at a great rate, and, as he hits better later in the season than in the Spring, it is likely that he may lead the league. It was runored last Winter that wolter would be offered a Yankee contract Scout Irwin protested against the dropping of Wo1ter from the Yankee payroll in 1913, and subsequent deveI- opments indicate that he had the right lunch
 If Wo1fer should return to the ma 5ors 1t would not be his first experi- ence as a. tcome-back.@ He broke in to the big top in 1907, when he play ed with Pittsburgh, Cincinhati and St Louis in the National League The Cardinals turned him over to St. Paul but Harry refused to report to that club and joined the California "out- laws" playing with San Jose in 1908 The following year he was reinstated in organized baseball, on paying g. $50 fine. and joined Boston in the Anerf- can League.
 Wo1ter started his career as a pitch CT, and it was in that capacity that he was given his first big league try-out. When he went to the Red Sox he was given another trial as a tWirler, and was then sent to the initial bag. It was not until he was turned over to the Yankees in 1910 that Harry was tried out in the outfie1d, where he has been stationed ever since.
 Wo1ter was born in Monterey. Cal July II, 1886, and played with the Santa Clara College club from 1904 to 19O6. In the latter year he made his professional debut with Fresno, in the Pacific Coast League, as a slabman.
