CUM FIGHT FOR BROWNIES" DEPOSITION
STORY OF PLACING
OF BETS TOLD IN COURT

CHIN SO, July 22-The first
story of ! aactual placing of bets
during the 1919 World Series by
men, charged with the alleged con-
spiracy for White Sox players to
throw the games, was told from
the witness stand today by John O.
Says, secretary of the Chica go Ma
tional league club. Mr.. Says iden-
titled Louis Levi, a defendant, as
one of the bettors.
Says said he and Clark Griffith,
manager of the Washington base
ball team, held stakes for bets
made by Abe Attell and Levi. He
testified he met Attell in Cincin-
natl the night before the first
ga me and intimation that Attell
may not have been caught by the
gamblers in the third game when
Says testified Attell told him he
was not betting on Cincinnati in
the third game as he thought Kerr
would win for Chicago. Burns, the
state witness, had testified Attell
had told him he had lost a lot of
money on the third game thinking
the players would throw it.

county said certain auto thefts
cases against two men, understood
to be clients of his predecessor,
would be put on file, according to
testimony before the supreme
court today by Sergt. Timothy
Sheehan of the Boston police.
Sheehan's testimony was intro
duced to support Atty Gen. J.
Weston Aliens charges that Tufts
failed to apprehend and arraign
certain defendants secretly indict-
ed in his jurisdiction.
Under cross-eXamination the
witness said he saw Corcoran as
attorney for Perry and Barry, who
said that his clients would make
restitution if their guilt was proved
to Tufts satisfaction. The attor-
ney general conceded that the
cases still are pending.

tied that he acted as counsel for

ILYNDONVILLE
| WINS OVER
| WOODSVILLE
5 to 4 Victory In Closely
Contested Game at Vic
tory Field

Lyndonville won from Woods
vile in a closely contested game
on Victory Field Thursday f.
ternoon, the score being to A.
Both Sutton and Price pitched fine
ball, the Lyndonville pitcher hav-
ing the best of the battle in strike
outs, and allowing fewer hits. The
hits were pretty well scattered,
and the misplays evenly divided
between the two teams, so that
it was anybody's game till the
last man was out.
Sutton retired the first three
Woodsville batters in the first. In
Lyndonville's half Lavely single 1
and stole second. Rublee got d
life on an error by hort. Ahern
went out at first. Hazard failed
to connect but Kelley hit for two
bases and two runs came across.
Woodsville got one in the third,
Rix scoring on his own two base
hit, an out at first, and an infield
error. Lvndonville got this run
back in the fourth when Kelley got
one by an error and scored on w
Sutton's hit. A hit, an error and
the strike outs was the record for
this inning. Woodsville duplicated
this performance in their half of
the 9Th, hit by H. Mitchell and
an error sandwiehed in between
three strike outs netting them a
run.
Woodsville tied the score in the
9TH. With one gone H. Mitchell
got one by an error. On Rix's hit
Mitchell wa out at home, and Rix
rounded third. Sutton's throw got
away from Kelley for a second,
and Rix was safe at the plate on d
verv close decision. Lyndonville
won the game in the 8th. Hazard,
first man up smashed a fine twp-
bagger to center. Kelley lifted the
ball for three base just inside the
right field foul line. Price had
the hard luck to uncork wild
pitch and Kelley trotted home with
what proved to be the winning
run.
Woodsville made a bid for the
game in their half of the nintn.
S. Mitchell got a hit Boemig went
out at first, F. Sutton assisting. Fl.
Mitchell struck out Price came
through with a hit and s. Mitchell
scored. A hit meant a run and tie
score. Rix drove the bali to left
field but Lavely got under it and

having a lot of vocalizing to do
went home to supper, satisfied
that they had seen about as even

SHELTON, NEWPORT
PITCHER, IN
AUTO CRASH
George Walker of Barnet
Arrested After
Collision

Joel Shelton, star right handed
pitcher on the Newport Baseball
club, narrowly escaped serious n
jury, possibly death, when the
machine in which he, accompanied
by a young lady was riding, on
Wednesday evening, was struck
by Hudson Super-six about two
miles this side of Derby Line.
David Davio of Newport was at
the wheel of the Overland in which
the well known twirler was sitting
when the larger car bore down the
road from Derby Line and crashed
with great force into the smaller
machine.
George Walker, a prosperous
garage owner from Barnet, was
driving the big car and is alleged
to have been in an intoxicated
condition. He was apprehended
at 900 O'Clock Wednesday night
by Chief of Police SWEET of New
port and taken to this city where
he was incarcerated in the county
jail until Thursdav morning. BY
getting into communication with
States Attorney James B. Camp
bell of Caledonia county, he man
aged to secure bail, which was
fixed at $500. A jury trial will be
held next Tuesday at 1 o'clock,
when States Attorney Albert w.
Farman, will prosecute for the
state of Vermont.
1t is reported that the Walker
machine was on the wrong side of
the road and was proceeding a.
a smart clip, when it collided with
Davio's Overland, which was al
most completely wrecked. the
Super-six was also badly damaged

ISLAND POND

Beating Given Essex
County Nine

eddy" Goode proved that he Is
a past master at the art of pitching
when he held the strong swatting
aggregation from Island Pond in
the palm Of his hand at the Cam
pus on Thursday afternoon wnen
the Fairbanks A. A. gave the vls-
itors an awful walloping with the
final score of 9 to l. Against the
steady playing of the home team
the visitors looked like amateurs.
Whatever stigma might have been
attached to the Fairbanks team
getting defeated in their recent
game at Island Pond was more
than wiped out by yesterdays vic
tory. Island Pond may be good on
their home grounds, which consists
of baseball diamond built on Il
side hill with rock battlements,
but on regular diamond they
were not in the class with Fair
banks:
Goode struck out II men, walked
but one, made two base hits there
by leading his team in the batting,
made three assists and one putout.
At no time was Island Pond real
contender for the game. Manager
Hoernle made the team a gift of
score in the ninth. With a man
on third and another on first he
ordered Starr to throw out the
man at first when he tried for
second. Starr pegged the bail
down with lightning speed getting
the man at second and ConloH
made fine throw home but the
man on third scored Except fot
the big lead Hoernle would not
have allowed Island Pond a run.
The pitching of Taylor of Is
land Pond was rather rough. He
walked eight men and struck out
but three Of the heavy swatters of
the Fairbanks team. The fine out
fielding of the Island Pond team
robbed the Fairbanks players of
what might otherwise have gone a5
two and three baggers. The out
field of the visitors played an er-
rorless game. Thev speared long
fields in all parts of the outside
gardens. Danforth at center was
a real star. He caught three hard
flies while Goodman at left took
four and Wentworth at right, one.
Fairbanks A. A. put the game
on ice in the first two innings. In

PRISON SENTENCE
Curtis Rollins Guilty of
Seriously Injuring His
Sister

In municipal court Friday morn
ino Curtis Rollins of Danville

peace and received his sentence.

Stances" said States Attorney
James B. Campbell, 81 recommend
good, stiff sentence in this case. y
Judge Harry Blodgett, after
questioning Rollins closely, came
t. the same conclusion, and SEN
fenced the respondent to not less
than two years nor more than
three years in the house Of cor
rection.
The facts alleged the case
are that lass Wednesday the res
pondent attacked his sister, Mrs
Charles Randall, and maltreated
her such an extent that she is con-
fined to the bed and is in a serious
condition from the injuries she
received.
Harvey's Hollow was the scene
of the disturbance. Rollins, who
was formerly employed as mould
er at the Fairbanks scale factory
in st. Johnsbury, has been working
on the farm of Allen Bartlett. His
wife died about two years ago,
leaving two little girls, who since
the mothers death, have been
making their home with Rollins
sister.
Wednesday Rollins went on =
fishing trip and came back with
more home brew than fish. H
went to the home of his sister, who
suggested that he clean up and
change his clothes. In some uneX-
pected way what he had been
drinking evidently fermented a
row, for the first thing Mrs. Ran
dali knew her brother struck her
a dangerous blow in the face, fol-
lowino it with another that landed
her through a window He finally
dragged her into the yard in front
of the house, where the disturb
ance attracted the attention of
Mrs. Randall's daughter, who Is
just recovering from serious
operation. She ran to the neighbors
for help. The. men were away
from home. Finally Napoleon Par
ads appeared on the scene and,
although claiming no honors as a
light weight champion, proceeded
to give Rollins the trimming he
