farm of MOrdecai T. Gibson, near
Centreville, where they stole an auto
mobile. 1t is believed they reached
Philadelphia or some more distant
point before their escape was discov-
cred by Sheriff I. Frank Seward. The
only prisoners on the first floor of the
Jail were those who fed. They were
Samuel Wilson, alias Sam Johnson,
who escaped from the Maryland
House of Correction recently and was
taken at Centreville on a charge of
pistol toting; Joseph Jeter, of Cecil
ton, Cecil county, who had been SEN
fenced to IL months in the same in
stitution on a similar charge; Joseph
Wilson, sentenced to six months for
carrying concealed weapons, and Syl-
vester Wright, of Kent Island, SEN
fenced to the House of Correction for
cutting a Negro boy. When officers
entered the Jail Sunday morning they
found that the prisoners had broken
one of the legs off a bathtub and used
it to rip the steel sill from the win
dow. With this heavy piece of metal
they had broken two of the bars and
crawled through the opening. A sharp
drop to the yard completed their dash
for liberty. Telephone messages car
ried news of the escape to the police
at Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washing
ton and towns on the Delmarvia pen
insula. No reports have been receiv-
ed to indicate that their recapture
might be expected.

spring trained at Benning and Bowie,
although few have come down from

Usually the winter-toughened cam
paigners from the south get away
with a lions share of Bowie spring

spring, Training weather has been
uniformly good in Maryland and the
District, also on Long Island and in
Jersey, since the beginning of March,

themselves to the utmost of their OPP

Argentine tangoes and the national
anthem. Mounted police endeavored
to keep some Semblance of order,
but 1t was useless.

had boxed a few rounds with Firpo
at Madison Square Garden gymna-
sium, and he was fully convinced he
could knock the South American out
The CubanS, while convinced no man
living could defeat Firpo, neverthe-
less gave White a fine reception
Bands also were on hand TO meet him
and every one expected a fine battle
1t was in the month of June and
very warm. / warned White against
overtraining, but he did not take into
consideration that he now was in a
tropical country and must not train
as he would in New York. He began
with road work in the morning. and
his hrst appearance in the Open-air
gymnasium was an immense success
He shadow boxed with speed. fighting
