Erro: cenesrnina GA pumn

In taking the article concerning
the testing of the gas pump at the
Coburn Garage over the long dis
lance telephone there was an error
made Wednesday night. The article
should have read: Last Sunday
morning Mr.. Joseph +. Murray, the
local sealer tested the pump at the
Coburn garage and purchased ten
gallons of gas Of the proprietor Will
liam H: Sibald and claims to have
received short measure. The meter
registered 1914 gallons sold. Mr.. MUIR
ray found that Mr.. Sibald was using
the pump without 1t having been
tested in. accordance with the state
law which requires that each pump
must be tested by the local sealer
before the dealer has right to sell
any gas at all.
Mr.. Murray tied the pump with a.
condemned tag and reported the case
to the state deputy c. o. Brown Of
Bangor who instructed FIR. Murray
to remove the condemned tar and to
test the pump. and to call Mr.. Sibald
into court to answer to two charges.
the first for selling short measure
and the second for using the pump
without having 1t first tested by the
local sealer. Murray states that
there are seventeen stations in town
selling gas. several Of these are new
this year. There IL now a state ruiz
ing that each pump must be tested
by the sealer in the towr where the
station is located before the pump
can be operated.

Hard Luck Trails
Walter Johnson
In Early Spring

Walter johnson, famous pitcher
|Cf the Washington Americans, mas
had more than his share Of tough
luck during the last four or five
years.
1t has so happened that tough
| luck hits Walter in the spring OF
each year, thereby getting him
away to bad start. A bad start
| for Johnson means the loss or
much money to the Washington
club.
Twice illness in his family has
kept johnson from the training
camp until almost to the opnclng
| OF the season. On two other occa-
siCas illness to himself has great
| " handicapped his spring training.
In one other year Johnson. be-
cause the rest Of the Washington
staff was in poor shape, was over
worked and suffered an injury to
his arm which remained with him
throughout the year, playing
havoc with his showing.
Johnson is no longer youngSter
from baseball standpoint and
needs more spring conditioning
than he once did.
Illness Of his young son is keep
ing Johnson at home this year.

Eight Old-Time
Giants Are Now
With PhillieS

Leesburg, Fla. April 10.-If PEN
nant atmosphere means anything to
manager, Art Fletcher should
more than make good.
On his Philadelphia club are Il
half dozen players who formerly
were the uniform of the New York
Giants.
Of the players once under the di-
rection of John McGraw, and Sc
cured by the Philies in trade, two
have all but reached the stage of
stardom, Walter Henline and Curtis
Walker.
Then there is Goldie Rapp, Il big
star in the American Association,
for whom McGraw paid fancy
price, only to have him fall.
The fans of New York had con-
siderable to do with the failure OF
Rapp Toutcd so highly they ex-
pectcd too much, with result that
Rapp broke under the strain OF
criticism.
Rapp will captain and play third
for the Phillics. Fletcher thinks he
is about due to give the laugh t.
McGraw and his judgment.
On the pitching staff are two for
mer Giants, Hubbell and Winters
although neither made much of al
impression while with New York.
Walter Holke, the first sackcr
came to Philly from New York vi;

In addition, Fletcher will have a

ending his days as pitcher, TO
time acted as assistant to No
