limited Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, April I7.-Kid Glea'
son, the veteran strategist and train.
er of the White So1, can be blamed
for the whole thing today.
Gleason Is with the White Sox
again. He is specialist who de-
velops pitchers and things into real
fine ball players. Reference to the
first weeks crop OF White Sox box
scores tells the rest OF the story.
Clarence Rowland has never been
able to snake more than ordinary e.
forts out of a sterling pitching corps.
Since the season opened this year,
Cicotte has turned in a no-hit, no-run
game, and Urban Faber just marked
up two-hit pashme.
With the White Sox hurlers doing
this kind of work, the future looks
dark for about seven other American
league clubs, unless the rivals OF Kid
Gleason get, busy.
Gleason will do something else for
the White Sox besides making the
pitchers pitch. He's a fighter. He
can't understand anything else IN a
ball game. He'll teach those ball
players to fight.
The Boston Braves have proved the
value OF knowing how to fight

Yesterdays hero-Walter Holke, His
two hits alone were enough to con-
vince the Dodgers that they have made
a bad start.
Ferdie Shupp is beginning right
where he left off last fall for the
Giants. He scored his first shutout OF
the year at the expense Of the Dodgers.
Grover Cleveland Alexander was
equipped mainly with bad luck. The
Braves laced him for three triples in
a row and sent him back on the short
end Of the score.
Jess Barnes had to contend with bad
fielding by Maranville and Evers, but
delivered.

RAND, SUICIDE,
is THE VERDICT
Los Angeles Coroner So Signs Death
Certificate-Contest Of VIII
May be the Re-
suit

The following from a Los Angeles
paper will be Of interest here owing
to the prominence Of the Rand family
in Burlington and this section Of the
state:
A certificate Of death by suicide
was signed by Coroner Hartwell IN
the case OF Charles w. Rand, promi-
nent in social circles in southern
California. whose life was ended by
gunshot wound, October s. at the
family hunting lodge, near Culver
City
It was at first reported that Rand
accid entally shot himself while clean
ing q gun. An investigation by the
coroner clearly disproves this state
ment, 1t was said.
A will signed by the young man
two days before he died. in which he
bequeathed all his property to his
sister and mother, and which has just
been filed, also leads authorities to
accept the suicide theory.
Rand wa sthe son Of Mrs. Lillian
c. Rand of 2619 Wiltshire boulevard.
Another paper expects the will to
be contested as this shows: The will
of Chas. W. Rand, who committed
suicide Oct. s, may be contested, &C
cording to reports made Friday. The
will was fled Thursday.
Under the will dated two days be-
fore his death, he gave everything to
his mother and sister Jointly. The
estate amounts to 100000.
Attorneys refused to discuss Rand's
death or the Wills superseded by that
of Oct g.
