BERNIE STARR
MAKING GOOD
WITH YANKEES
Letter from Frank Nc.
Laughlin Says Little
Catcher Doing Fine

Bernard Starr, who as catcher
for the Fairbanks A. A. during
the past summer, made so many
staunch friends in St. Johns
bury has been participat-
ing in the "little worlds sc-
les" between the New York Yam
KEGS and the Cleveland Indians,
which has been in progress at the
Polo grounds since last Friday.
Bernie has even been stopping the
submarine slants Of the celebrated
Carl Mays. He has caught the
wicked twisters served up by pop
ular Waite Hoyt, the Highlander
II year old wonder and he has also
received Harper's fast ones.
Some folks will ask "Why hasn't
his name appeared in the official
box scorer" The simple reason is
that Bernie has figured only in
practice, but as the old story goes,
practice makes perfect and we
hope Bernie will benefit accord
ingly. Starr has he'sed warm up
many of the Yankee twirlers and
he has also caught the ball from
the field in batting practice. He
enjoys batting practice himself
quite frequently and twice has
rocked the ball into the right field
stands at the Polo Grounds.
All of this information about
the st. Johnsbury base ball favor
ite is CLEANED from a letter from
Frank J. Mclaughlin, Fairbanks
first sacker, to a member of the
Caledonian-Record reportorial
staff, received here today. Nc
Laughlin, who made such fine
record with the local team tIls
summer, has entered Fordham
University in New York City. He
has been there a week now and
enjoys it very much.
A portion Of his letter says:
"a few days ago | took trip
down to the Polo Grounds and
saw Bernie Starr in his big league
outfit. He says he catches in
batting practice every day and
likes it 0. K. He told me he rock
ed a couple into the right field
stands during batting practice.

in the evening and we had quite

and that he is trying his best to
deliver the goods.

$500 REWARD
FOR RECOVERY
OF AUTOMOBILES
Two Machines Stolen and
Mass. Gang Believed
Working Here

A gang of automobile thieves be-
lieved to come from Massachusetts,
are working in this vicinity ac-
cording to Sheriff Wilbur H. Wor-
then. Two cars have been stolen
within the past few days anu so
clever are the thieves that theJ left
few. if any, clues behind them.
Notices have been sent broadcast
but the thieves have so good a
start with their loot that it is be-
lieved there is little chance of re-
covering the machines.
An Oakland Six Touring car
owned by James Lenton was
stolen fror: the Corner Garage
some time Sunday night or Mon
day morning. The car was driven
into the storage department of
the garage Sunday night. The
car was not there Monday morn
ing and Mr.. Lenton thought that
his son-in-law may have taken the
car. At noon he found that TINS
was not so and notified Bur.
Wright. Inquiry among the en-
ployces disclosed that no ono had
seen the car driven out and that
it must. have been taken away
early Monday morning.
There are a dozen or more
keys to the storage department as
various owners of cars. come and
go during the night and early
morning but this was not consider
ed unusual as some Of the car
owners visit the garage early and
get their cars. 1t is believed pos
sible that someone was watching
the garage and when one of the
car owners took his car out early
this party may have entered the
garage Immediately afterwards
and driven off in the Oakland car.
A description of the missing
car is given in an advertisement
in this paper and 500 reward is
offered for the party giving infor-
nation which will lead to the re-
covery of the car and the appp-
hcnsion of the thief or thieves.
Sheriff Worthen has received
word from the High Constable
at Sweetsburg, Qae., Of the theft
Of a seven passenger McCloughlin
Buick car on Saturday night. The
thief was supposed to be a Massa-
chusettS man and the car is believ-
ed to have headed for Boston by
way of st. fJohnsbury or by the
Hyde Park; Montpelier road. The
party that stole the car stopped at
Knowlton, Que, and is believed TO
have secured a load of liquor
there.
The car was painted dark green
with yellow wheels, the top of the
headlights were green, bumper
round and nickle plated, upholster-
ing black leather, tires front Nal
tesc cross 36x4, rear tires good,
Diamond thread, also spare tire
behind. The car carried the Ca
madam registry Que. 88704 and
the number of the engine was
141551. The owner of this ma
chine is w. F. Villas, a senator in
the Quebec parliament. A re-
ward of 5000 is offered for the re-
covery of this car The constable
asks that any information be tele-
phoned him at his expense.
Owners of automobiles are
warned that thieves arc in this vi
cinity working and that it will be
n wise prccaution to keep an eye
on their car or to repair to an in
sulancc Office and get theft injur-
ancc on their cars.

OVER $&Q
RAISED L.
RED CROSSDRIVE
More Generous COntribu-
tors and the Amount
Growing

The Red Cross drive for funds
to carry on the local work entered
upon its second week with new
life. Over $500 has now been Sc
cured and more is coming. The
committee sent out reminder by
mail today to about 100 people
who have given generously in the
past to work of this kind and
many will undoubtedly respond to
this appeal.
This money is all to be used in
this town and county. The local
organization gave much needed us
sistancc to 256 families in this
county during the past year, and
1T of these families are here in
St. Johnsbury.
These figures are impressive.
Few people realized that as maay
as 1T families in St. JohnSbur-
needed any of the various forms
of assistance which the Red Cross
is prepared to give. OF these III
families, 72 included ex-service
men. Many of the familie, still
need help. 1t should be remcm-
bered that the Red Gross does not
duplicate the work of any other
agency. There is nothing else to
take its place.
We need the Red Cross in St.
Johnsbury and the Red C:os5
needs our help.
That this splendid service is AZ
preciated is shown by the many
letters which accompany the gifts

edge with thanks additional on
