A young man by the name of Peter
Schwartz was up before the justice
court yesterday on charge of theft.
The young fellow had been working
up near Leal until recently. He had
purchased a car from the Pegg Gar
age in this city, but forgot to pay for
it, and had gone down in South Da-
kota and disposed of it there, and
taken the money and went to Canada,
where he was apprehended by authori-
ties and brought back here. He is a
young man, and saw several months
service across in France, being in all
the big battles, it is said. The court
decided that some leniency would be
shown in his case, and he is trying to
obtain some money to straighten up
the affair. His case was continued un-
til next Monday.

A Ford car belonging to Victor Latt
of Hobart township, this county, was
stolen off the street in front of the j.
G. Penny store last Saturday evening,
while the owner was busy shopping.
It was taken some time after nine
O'Clock, and no trace could be found
of it that evening. It was found de-
serted a short ways south of town
Sunday by the sheriff. Evidently the
guilty party or parties that took it
had trouble with it and were forced
to abandon it. It was unchanged.
George Window, the man who stole
the Haynes car belonging to E. A.
Duff Of Darcy, recently; and who was
captured with it near Grace City, was
given hearing recently before Judge
.Englert and plead guilty. A sen
tence of one year and six months at
hard labor was imposed on him. The
two other young fellows that were
with him, were released, since the
evidence presented showed that they
were in no way implicated in the theft
of the car, but merely accompanied

RIBBONS TACKLE
 STAMFORD FIVE
 TOMORROW NIGHT

The Blue Ribbons must start with a burst of speed tomorrow night if they hope to win the state basketball title in the series with the Stamford and Ansonia lives. The game tomor- row night at Colonial hall with Stam- ford will be the first of the series and the Ribbons are up against tough opposition right away. The Ribbons have been strengthened by the return of Eddie White, the crack forward and by the addition of Dehnert and Barlow as guards.
 Barlow was with Req ding, Pa, in the Eastern league and was regard circuit. Dehnert is also 8 strong guard. Chris Leonard will be at cen ter as Stretch Harvey has been claim ed by Ansonia under a previous con tract.

This contest will start at S:15 Sunday night
 Manager Jason Wright of Ansonia is also confident of winning the state title. He has signed Wassmer and Calder, forwards; Harvey, center; Roach and Jakey Fuller, guards.

Eddie Dorsey Backs Out of Match With
 Eddie FitzsimrnOns

New York, March 20-Eddie Dor sey, who claims the colored light weight championship of America, af- ter agreeing to box Eddie F'itzsin mons at the boxing carnival held in the 4th Regiment Armory in Jersey City last night under the auspices of the North Hudson Federated Posts of the American Legion, evidently recon sidered, for when the time came for him to face the Morgan entry in the ring, he was conspicuous by his ab- sence. Little Danny Bright, former ly of England, however, had no fear of the much harolded Fitzsimmo ons, and he gladly substituted for Dor sey.
 Eddie's courage and gameness were commendable but he proved no match for Fitzsimmons and the ref cree, Erhart, showed excellent judg- ent in stopping the bout toward the end of the first round after Eddie had fully demonstrated that Danny had no chance with him.

BRAVES SECURE
 MILLER, CRACK
 PIRATE BOXMAN

Columbus, Ga, March 19. = The pitching staff of the Braves, very weak and flying signals of distress, received some first aid yesterday, for it was announced that two twirIers had been added to the roster. Frank Miller was purchased by President Grant from Pittsburgh. Miller has the reputation of being a pretty good pitcher. He is a veteran who won games for the Pirates last year and lost II. If he can hang up IA victories for the Braves this year he will be a, big help. He is expected to report next week, possibly before the team leaves here on it's long exhibi- ton trip with Detroit. Miller is a right handler. six feet tall and weighs 1S8 pounds. He is a Michigander and has not reported to the Pirates this year.
 Then, too, John Paul Jones of Area
 dia, La, last year with Toronto, has
 finally accepted terms and will be on
 deck today. Jones "retired'' forever
 a few days ago, but like lots of
 players took it all back and said his
 fingers were crossed all the time He made a good record with Toronto and Manager Stallings expects him to
 come through for the Wigwamites- 1TSSldeIl ITdnI said was pretty
 near a cinch that John Scott the big holdout pitcher. would also appear in a. day or so- Everybody hopes so, for the team simply must have more strength in the box. In fact unless it has better hitting it should have unusual strength
 The Braves, who bowed twice tc Joe Tinker's minor 1easuers. Tuesday and Wednesday, arrived here this morning about Il o'clock, about five hours behind schedule time. They ] were supposed to come up from Al. bany, the scene of their latest dis l aster on the Seminole Limited, which ! reaches that town about in the !, morning.

 Sue Cincinnati Club

Baseball is threatened with another lawsuit. Manuel Cueto, who was re- leased by the Cincinnati Reds to the Rochester club last August as part of the S10.O00 deal for Outfelder See didn't receive a share of the worlds series money. Cueto has engaged a lawyer to set forth his claim on the ground that he played with the Reds long enough to entitle him to a. slice of the melon. Inasmuch as the money was paid to the Reds in October. Cueto will probably have to hail all of them into court in order to obtain a judgment Even then he will find it hard to collect.

DID CRAvE:SEND RAGE TRACK TO PASS AWAY NOW

New York, March 2O-Another of the historic landmarks of racing is soon to pass out of existence with the cutting up into building lots of the famous Gravesend course, which a decade or more ago was one of the most popular race tracks on Long Island. Taking advantage of the present boom in real estate, the Brooklyn Jockey Club has sold the Gravesend property for a price re ported to be S675,OOO, and new colony of homes will soon flourish where turf records were once made
 The Gravesend track was built thirty-five years ago by the Brooklyn Jockey Club, ,-3 in which the Dwyer brothers. Philip J. and Michael F., were the largest stockholders. This is the last of the three courses in Kings county which were closed when the ban was put on racing during the administration of Governor Hughes The Brighton track has already been turned into a real estate develop ment and the Sheepshead Bay track has for several years been used for motor-car speedway, which is now being torn down.
 The Gravesend track was the scene of many thrilling races and provided some of the biggest stake events then run. Chief among these was the Brooklyn Handicap, and many famous horses competed and made records there. Among these were Tenny, Fitz Herbert, Irish Lad and The Picket. It was there also that Mike Dwyer became famous as one of the heaviest plungers on the turf. That was in the days when open betting was legal and the big black boards were seen in the ring. With the return of racing the Kings Coun- ty tracks were replaced by those which now comprise the metropoIi- tan circuit though for years ing track.

Babe Ruth Knocks
 Home Run 4zS Feet
Yankee slugger Finds Batting Eye at Last and Slams
 Ball With Old Time Vigor at Training Camp

Jacksonville, Fla. March 20-Babe Ruth finally has lifted one over the fence. There was no game yesterday afternoon, but the club was put through d stiff batting practice, with the pitchers putting all they had on the balls Ruth taught one of De Vitalis shoots on the nose and knock ed it over the centre field fehce. II was 428 feet from the honl~ plate to tie fence. and it was estimated that the drive went over by about 50 feet, thus measuring AIS feet It is the first time a ball has ever been driven over the centre field fence.
 Ruth figures the ball was the sec ohd hardest he ever hit. His banner waIlop was made off George Smith, 5the former Giant pitcher, in the Giant-Red Sox series of last spring. when he knocked the ball over a race track fence in Tampa. The drive was measured afterward and was $50 feet. McGraw called it the longest home run of his experience.
 Ruth made his homer off fast ball De VitaIis was not lobblng them over, and appeared to be in good form Babe just got hold Of one anu sent it for a ride, It was a low liner 
 Tarnpa That is. the ball never went any hishsr tban 25 feet in the air. but just kept on sailing. The Big Babe seeros to he on his way.
 SoIne new plays will be tried out against Brooklyn today. The Tanks have heen rather chagrined at their two defeats at the hands of the Dodg- CTS, for. after beating Brooklyn in 10 out of 3 games last spring, they were inclined to hold the Flatbush team cheaply But the Dodgers have shown the Tanks that they will have to be on their toes if they want to make any kind of a showing.
 Bob Shawkey and probably Thor rnanlen will work against the Dodg- CTS, and, with Ruth finally started, they hope to record their first victory over the Robins Huggins says the Brooklyn defeats need not be taken seriously He has veteran players, who will round into shape in proper time with a long training period, and is. willing to let such men as Peck, Pipp and others round themselves gradua1ly into condition

Hartford Boy Signs With Waterbury To
 Try ShOrtstOp Job

Hartford, Mar. 19.-George Under hill, the local senni-pro player will be found digging 'em out of the dirt around short for the Waterbury East ern League club the coming season, The dirninutive infelder yesterday af- fixed his signature to the contract Manager Jud Daley offered him on his visit here Tuesday, at which time he approached the player regarding terms to try out with the Brass City outfit. If confidence counts for any, thing Underhil1 has made good al- ready. He was more than e1ated yes teray over the fact tha+ he will be given a chance to show that he is of Eastern League quality.
 Underhill unquestionably is the best semi-pro product that has cropped up around here in many days. For the last two seasons he has been deve1- oping fast and last year played in such great style that word of his ability drifted to Tom Turner, scout of the Philadelphia Athletics, who was gum -shoeing through the Eastern League when he was steered to give the Underhin youngster the once over, while he covered short for the Travellers in the Insurance League Turner, after sizing up "Undy'' in ac- tion, came to the conclusion that he was a trifIe too inexperienced to gc with the Athletics and thought that he was a bit underweight to warrant a trial in the big show.
 UnderhiIl's best work in semi-prc circles was shown whHie he performed for the Poi team last season. He not only fie1ded in approved fashion bu also swung a mean bludgeon. Ina
 he hits more than the average for . little fellow can be reasoned from the fact that he sent one sailing over the left field fence in a game at Pol Field last season. Everyone vii agree hats a Iusty clout even for a wizard like Babe Ruth to deliver One of Underhills chief assets is his speed. This should stand him in good stead when he tries out with Jud Daleys tribe and it would cause nc surprise to see him cavorting around short regularly for the Waterbury outfit the approaching season.
 Breaking into the Eastern League will be nothing new to Underhill however, as during his vacation last season he played short for the Hart ford club and showed flashes of req promise. His best bit of work was against Springfield in a double header at the Hartford grounds, when he leaned against Purvere's curves for g double and a triple, both being wick | ed clOutS.

TO
 QUIT BASEBALL
 HE CLAIMS NOW

The Hartford Club, which has been banking on the services of Earl Pot teiger, the hard hitting outfelder who was with Worcester last season may not be able to use him after all. Potteiger declares he is through with baseball and has sent a letter to the sporting editor of a Hartford newspaper telling of his plans
 He says:
 "I am awfully sorry I can't con- sider Hartford on account of business matters at home.
 T wish to extend my thanks to Dan P. Howley, J. H. Clarkin as well as the fans Of Hartford.
 ''In Manager Howley, Hartford will have one of the finest men in base ball and I regret I can't play for him this season, but I'll do anything to help him along that is in my power.
 There should be big change at Hartford this year. The fans should patronize Howley better than any other club that ever played at Hart ford. l am sorry this opportunity did not arise last season.
 "AH the money I own is at stake and it may mean a lot to me In one years time, therefore my retirement from organized baseball
 Evidently Potteiger is peeved at Owner Mack of Worcester, because of the story printed sometime ago, m which Mack was quoted as saying that POtteiger is a trouble-maKer. Tn his communica uons with the local pilot, the leading batter of the league last year plainly showed that he and Mack were not what one might call the best of friends.
