The Cincinnati Reds have asked wavers on Walter Lutzke but the infelder will not go back to Newark until the other clubs have spoken.
 Perhaps the most sensational spring performances of the drafted players have been turned in by Earl Sheely, first baseman, late of Sacramento. and Johnny Kerr. Hol- lywood second baseman. Sheely took over the Pittsburgh first base as- signment and was the only Pirate infielder to survive the training trip without injury. Kerr stepped into the second base job without a strug- gle on the Chicago White Sox.

New Britain herald., 1929-04-05

Lieutenant Samuel Bamforth tes- ti6ed that Naples denied having had anything of an intoxicating nature to drink. but he was thick of speech and his eyes were glassy when Ser geant Feeney presented him at the desk. There was an odor of some sort of alcoholic drink but the lieu tenant could not recognize it. He said Naples was unfit to drive.
 Naples testified that he was gassed overseas and for ten years he has been unable to earn any money. For four months he has been at the sol- diers' home and after obtaining a 90 days furlough, he bought an automobile with borrowed money and some of his own, intending to sell goods" and make . living in the summer months.
 He left Boston at s o'clock yes terday morning and did not stop in any of the large cities along the route. his plan being to take out m operators license in Connecticut. He wanted to visit his Uncle Tony" and see if he would help h.m finan- clally so he might make . start in business. T get dizzy when l am sick and I know never should drive. Believe, me. will never touch another wheel" he said. How about touching another drink?' Judge Traceski asked him. "I had nothing but two cups of coffee all day. and l was all in. That's prob- ably why they say I was drunk, but l was not, so help me God"
 "lf was drunk last night would be sick this morning." he continued That's the way 1t affects me, but I was not drunk. I have been in seven hospitals and am not . well man." As Judge Traceski enumer. ated the fines on tho three offenses Naples begged him for leniency. He had a cut on the bridge of the nose, which was dressed by pr. George w. Dunn. who lives near the scene of the accident. Dr. Dunn also at- tended Mrs. Finklestein.
 Gaida Sent to State Farm
 Adolph Gaida, 30. of 19 Hayes street. was committed to the state farm. after his wife testified that he does nothing but drink to excess abuse the children and annoy her. Although he promised Judge Trace. ski the last time he was in court that he would go to work within a few days he has not done so his excuse being that he hurt his hand and could not operate a machine. Sergeant Stadler and Officer Lieb- Ter, who arrested Gaida in q store at Ill Beaver street about 2:3O yes terday afternoon on complaint ot Mrs. Gaida to the probation officer testified that he had been drinking but was not intoxicated. They charged him with violation of pro- bation. Sergeant Stadler testified that Gaida showed him a govern. ment check for $62 Monday morn ing. Gaida testified that he had a check for $72 that day and paid $40 for groceries and also paid the rent. spending $1.5O for smokes.

 Home Town ReceptiOn

Perry. Okla. April @-Henry s. Johnston. recently deposed gov ernor of Oklahoma, was welcomed by his old home town yesterday with celebration that savored more of triumph than defeat. To the blare of band music and sur rounded by a multitude of old friends, the former chief executive heard speeches in which he was in- vited to run as a candidate for the United States senate.
 During the celebration, orators attributed Johnston's removal to dirty politics"

HEAD.ON COLLISION
 COSTS DRIVER $l25
Former Soldier Denies Being Drunk, Pleads for Leniency.

Pleading with Judge Stanley J. Tracesk not to be hard" on him. but steadfastly insisting that he had not had . single drink of liquor yes- terday although two police officers testified that he was unfit to drive . car. Frank Naples, 46, who has been in the Soldiers uome at To- gas, Me. for four months. was found guilty in police court today on charges cf driving without an oper- ator's license. driving while under the influence of liquor, and violation of the rules of the road On the first charge. he was fined $1o and costs. on the second Sl0O and costs and on the third S15 and costs.
 Naples, who is we'll known locally, having lived in the south end of the city for number of years. was driv- ing north on Lincoln street about g o'clock last night on the extreme left side of the highway, and Bundle Finklestein of 225 West Main street was driving in the opposite direc- tion on the extreme right side of the street. according to Sergeant Thom- as J. Feeney. who was detailed by Lieutenant Samuel Bamforth to in- Vestigate the collision which occur red in front Of the home of Attor- ney M. A. Sexton between Hart and Mooroe streets.
 Naples was driving a car regis tered in Maine and when Sergeant Feeney questioned him about the accident. he accused Finklestein of driving at the rate of 50 miles an hour, while he had swung to the left to turn into an intersecting street. As matter of fact. the ser- Eeant said. the.e is no intersecting street near the seen. of the crash. Naples was unsteady on his feet and there was an odor of wine apparent, the sergeant testified.
 Tries to Protect Wife
 Finklestein testified that he saw the lights of Naples car for a dis tance of about 500 feet, but he ex- pected to be given room to pass. Much to his surprise the lights con- tinued in an answering path and he was powerless to avoid a head on collision. Thinking first of his wife, he threw himself across the seat in front of her to protect her from injury, but she sustained pain full cuts and bruises across the knees, while he was painfully hurt across . the lower chest. where the steering wheel damned against him. His car was badly damaged. as was tho one Naples was driving.

They followed it for several miles and
then lost it altogether. Reports of the
robbery were sent to Attorney Gener-

Frank Guenther declared that the
appointment of a new fire chief was
all wrong, in which stand he was sup
ported by Aldermen Gooder and Lin
dorff. The battle then waxed fast
and furious with Mayor Storkan
holding that his appointment of Carl
West as Fire Chief should stand. The
appointment of the balance of the
officials named by the Mayor were
ratified, but the matter of the Fire
Chief is still pending.
The first cause of the Fire Chief
controversy arose from the fact that
Mayor Storkan wished to reduce the
salary of the Fire Chief, who now
gets $15 a month for looking after
the fire needs of the city. Mr.. Helm
refused to serve if the cut was made
and thereupon a new appointment was
made by the Mayor. The matter has
become the talk of the town and has
created a great deal of interest
among the citizens of Plentywood and
the members of the fire department
The City Council also took strong
action to get rid of mongrel dogs by
