Terry Turner, Former Star of Cleveland,
 Through With Game

Terry Turner, for years brilliant and consistent inhelder with the Cleveland Indians, has taken the count as g. major 1eaguer. Turner was recently turned loose by the Philadelphia Athletics, and he hopes to land a berth on one of the big minor league clubs. But his chances of catching on with any of the major league clubs look a trif1e slim now.
 Little blonde Terry would like to become a manager, and many a minor league club owner could do worse than select Turner as a pilot, for he knows baseball inside and out and his long experience inr the big show has fitted him to coach young players.
 For a good many seasons, while playing in Cleveland, Turner won a place in Spaldings annual Hall of Fame. His playing during his hey
 day as an inf1elder was always con- sistent, often brilliant and alto gether versatile, for he was at home on second, third or short and could play the outfleld-
 Turner is thirty-nine years of age. He first appeared with the C1eve- land club in 1904, having come up from Columbus, in the American Association, via. the trade coute. He served continuously with the C1eve- land club until last year, when he was internationally released in mid
 season and later picked up by Con- nie Mack.
 Terry was a real star at short and third for 8. good many years, though he was rapidly going back when 1T 1918, 8 scarcity of players enabled him to hang on, under Lee Fohl, as i the Cleveland club was hard hit b1 l the draft and en1istments and Turner was able to hit the average ; brand of pitching that season ant | play third acceptably. 2
 l According to the standards re 1 ouired by the average manager o1 l today, Turner was an ideal ballp1ay ! CT. He was always a hard worker and he was in there hustling day ir and day out, season in and seasor out, and nsver gave the manager: l of the Indians any trouble. He was l also a smart player, hard man rol the pitchers to fool when his batting
 orbs were at their best and g. play | CT who knew the right play when ever he was called upon to make 1t. There was only one pitcher in th' | American League who really had i | over Turner That pitchers name is | Walter Johnson. In the spring ot i 1914 Turner worked out for g. while with the Pirates and Indianapolis
 Indians at Hot Springs, Ark. anf
 one day, talking of pitchers, he re- marked that Johnson was one pitch
 CT who could make him hunt the "bucket.''
 "That fellow throws Fem so fas | that they look like a pea coming III
 to the plate," said Turner, "and IT
 admit that, old as I am, with ar 1 ambition to stick as long as I car l in the big. show, I never take undue chances of getting beaned by ont l of Walters shoots"
 Terry did pretty well after tha. l for a fellow was readily admitted 1 that he was about through in the | big show.

GOVERNMENT AIR-DAMAGE
 BILL IS ON INCREASE

"A few years ago an irate farmer discovering an unfortunate aviator about to crash with his machine in favorfte field was wont to grab his shotgun and give the pilot an accurate imitation of an anti-aircraft battery in action. Nowadays he smiles with satisfaction, lights his pipe, wishes the aviator a pleasant journey, prays the machine will score a, bu1Ps-eye on the most valuable spot of his property then borrows a gold mounted foun- tain pen from James, the chauffeur, and makes out a little bill to Uncle Sam," writes George W. Sutton, IT,, in The Home Sector. the ex-soldiers' magazine conducted by the former editorial council of The Stars and Stripes.
 In telling of the price the govern ment pays for the efforts of trespass- ing airplanes the ex-soldiers' weekly says: "Rummaging among the gov ernment files, one discovers that be- tween May, 1918, and June, 1919, over 5000 worth of these little bills were OK d lin Washington for payment. AN damage involved was done by airplanes from government aviation fields. Their engines had gone dead at tn opporIune moments, ana they were suddenly confronted with the alterna- tive of landing on any terra frma available in the immediate neighbor- hood or floating on and on in the cir cumamhtent- ether until they starved to death-which can't be done.

AUTO SHOW IS
 TO OPEN AT
 ARM0RY FEB, ?

Under the auspices Of the Fourth Infantry, Connecticut State Guard. Bridgeport's Eighth Auto Show will open at the State Armory and the Ja coby building, directly across the street, next Monday. That the show will be an unequa1led success is as- sured, judging from the spontaneous interest which the general 1ublic is displaying in the plans of the man agement.
 More than 100 cars and POO kinds of automotive equipment will be shown in the spacious armory and the Ja- colby building, which will be used this year instead of the State street Casino. A newly erected building, with about half of the capacity of the armory. the Jacoby building was selected rather than the Casino, to be more con venient to the public, which in other years has been forced to go fron,.1the armory to the Casino to see the motor trucks.
 Automobile dealers everywhere have shown great enthusiasm over the arrangements made by Benjamin B. Steiber, who once again has charge of the auto exhibition, and who expects to repeat his successes of other years.
 Nineteen nineteen was a big year In the automobile Industry, practical 1y S2,000,000,0O0 worth of cars being produced by makers from coast to coast during the 12 months period The developments of the year in the automotive world will be mirrored in Bridgeport's Auto Show
 Bridgeport manufacturers will be represented at the various booths That the dealers of the city will be 9s per cent. represented goes without saying.
 The Bridgeport Auto Show is no; only a drawing card for people of the city and the immediate vicinity, but it is an annual event for people of the country, and hundreds of inquir- ies have been received by the man agement from prospective car pur- chasers, many of whom live as far away as Greenwich and Portchester. Times Ads Are a Success

VOLUNTEER CROP
OF WHEAT MAKES
KANSAS rich
(By Associated Press.)

Topeka, Kan, Aug. 26.-Stories of
sudden wealth in the Kansas wheat
belt are numerous this year, due to
the unusual acreage of volunteer
wheat crop grown from seeds
which fall in the previous harvesting.
Oficially estimated there was 1,5OO.-
900 acres Of volunteer wheat in Kan
sas this year, or about a sixth of the
total harvested acreage. This wheat
yielded probably 40,OOOOOO bushels or
representing a monetary value OF
about $1O0,OOO,0OO. The total Kansas
crop Of wheat is estimated officially
at 15O,OOO,OOO bushels.
The large acreage of volunteer
wheat is due to the fact that great
deal Of this acreage was deserted as
wheat land by the owners, after last
years none too bountiful crop had
been harvested. The 1919 acreage was
In excess of 100000, by far the rec
ord for any state in the Union. A
wet fall caused the kernels Of whea;
which had fallen to the ground dur
ing the harvesting, to germinate.
