Illegal Possession Charge
Against BOttlers Dropped

The case against Harry Gitlin and
Henry Jacobson of the firm OF. Gitlin
G. Jacobson, bottlers; on the charge OF
illegal possession, heard at the NUM-
,inal court Tuesday forenoon, was
dismissed for lack of evidence. The
testimony also was greatly in favor
of the defendants, Deputy Sheriff
Dirram saying that he had had no
COMPLAINTS against the place and as
far as he knew none had ever been
made. The defendants were repre-
scntcd by James l.. Boyle who con-
,onded that this was case where
someone else used the name of Mr..
,itlin, under which to receive con-
Segment of Jamaica ginger as this Is
practice often put into use in other
states and he believed in this state.
Deputy Sheriffs Dignam and Fran
ola HARDWOOD testified to the finding OF
-hc five cases of Jamaica ginger at
the Citlin & Jacobson bottling estab-
ljshmcnt and taking possession or IT.
Granville RarrOws Of the Atlantic Ex-
press testified to delivering the five
cases and that Mrs. Gitlin signed for
SASOr -
thc establishment. In answer to
questions from the Judge in regard to
another consignment of the same
coods which was sliced Tuesday
morning and addressed to f. Gillian,
Mr.. Barrows said that he should make
no attempt to deliver such a lot or
goods as the name as it was did not
warrant him doing so. He should
wait until someone came to claim 1t.
Harry Gitlin testified that he never
saw the boxes until in court Tuesday
morning. That he was not at home
when the boxes were delivered. He
also said that he had never ordered
ANYTHING from the Commonwealth
Grocery Co. of Boston, from whom
the goods came and that they did not
belong at his place. That his was
strictly bottling establishment ana ne
had no use for Jamaica ginger. He
said that his wife had been here In
this country about 10 weeks and knew
how to write his name because she
had written him letters from Russia,
but she could not speak English.
Henry Jacobson, the other member
of the firm was then called. He also
said that he never ordered anything
from the Commonwealth Grocery
Company. He had been sick in bed
for a week and knew nothing OF the
cases until he heard of their seizure
Mrs. Harry Gitlin testified through
an interpreter, Samuel Vein. She
said that she had been here 10 weeks
from Poland. that she signed for the
boxes and paid the expfessman. thai
she did not know what was in the
boxes and that her husband had beer
gone Monday from 9 in the morning
TO in the afternoon. The sheriffs
came in about an hour and took the
boxes away. She said that she knew
nothing about the business. that 'she
had never signed papers before.
In summing up the case, Attorney
Boyle stated that the defendants had
never come into possession Of the
cases. as the Sheriffs had taken the
cases before either of the men know
they were there, therefore the charge
of illegal possession was without a
real basis.

 TRAYNOR'S WILD PEG
 Traynors wild peg to the home plate in the fifth, two Crackers scoring on the error, was the turning point of the battle. After that, the visitors failed to show any amount of fighting spirit, ap- parently reconciling themselves to the fact that it was Atlanta's day.
 Until the fifth, however Morrison was showing gobs of the stuff that made his brother famous in the Southern last year, and the Crackers were worried by the peculiar angles his curve balls as sumed when nearing the plate. Mor- rison had an inexhaustible supply of these hooks and shot them at the Frank men one after another. At one stage of the encounter, he threw in quick suc- cesson and controlled most of them. Phil had it on Pierson in accuracy, but there his supremacy stopped. The mis- takes he made came at crucial times and the loss of the game can be laid mainly at Morrison's door.
 BARONS START WELL

 The Crackers also had a chance in their half of the opening frame. but Rit- ter was caught at the plate. In the second, Atlanta scored once. Fred Smith, first up, walked and reached second on wild pitch. Mayer lined out to Allen, Stow hit to Clarke, who booted, the ball rolling to left field, but Smith was caught as he crossed the plate, Allen S throw being beautiful one. Stow reached secosd on the play. Thurman t!. to Traynor, who bobbled Stow going to third and scoring a moment later on Morrison's second wild pitch The first hit of the game came in the fourth when Traynor singled over second, bu. he was not permitted to stray beyond the keystone, a promising rally being stopped by Pierson's good pitching.
 Red Wingo's triple to the right field dump in the fourth was the first Atlanta bingle of the game. Morrison got off for the fifth by hitting Thurman. but Pierson forced the Atlanta catcher at second Art Ritter doubled to left center. and Pierson stopped at third Graf hit to Traynor, whose throw to the plate was high, Ritter and Pierson scoring. Graf going to second. Guyon lined out to Emery and Graf was doubled at second. The Crackers earned one run in the eighth, Thurman doubling to the right bank after Stow had been retired by the infield. Pierson followed with a single to center. but Thurman drew up at third.
