 "Chief," he said, I'm Ray Bobo of Marion. Ind, and other parts" He grinned as Case looked at him inquiringly. " Guess they want me out west for murder. Well, here am.

HE DIDN'T LIKE

 AND DID THINGS
New York Man Waged a Battle With Company By Cutting Wires Gets 90 Days
By DEIoS SMITH

&Un1te0 FrG68 StaH COfreSpOndent)
 New York. Dec 13--(UP)-TAe spirited warfare between Eric W0ythaler, wholesale grocery salesman, and the New York Iele- phone company entered a 90-day truce to-day as Woythaler began a Jail sentence for vandalism.
 The telephone company, mean- while, paused to heal its wounds. Repairmen polished up the com. pany's pay station booths, haunt ed for weeks by q vengeful cus- tomer who delighted in cutting every wire in sight. They were confident that the wires would re. main intact for 30 days.
 Woythaler's trial was poignant. So convinced was he of the justice of his case that he didn't bother to engage lawyer. He blithely ad- mitted he had cut 30 wires because ''the service was terrible" The telephone company charged he cut wires in ear booths between Au- gust 1 and october 5.
 Exuding confidence, Woythaler stepped before a bench of three judges and expounded his case.
 T would go into one of those booths and one of those operators with nasty voice would tell me my time was up and ask for an., other nickel" he declared. When would try to tell them was do. ing business, they'd keep putting in and I would get so damn mad I guess I'd lose my temper and cut up all the parts of the tele. phone could find."
 A murmur of sympathy ran through the crowded courtroom. The three judges drowned at the bailiff. The bailiff called for order.
 Woythaler lifted an arm and shook his gray hair.
 "Your honors, business is hard enough to get without telephone operators always putting in. I'd be talking with an important cus- toner then the operator would butt in.
 His voice dissolved into an inco. herent murmur, indicating great emotional stress. Solemnly the judges questioned him.
 Yes, Woythaler conceded, prac. ticalIy anything the telephone. company did, irritated him. Yes, he was annoyed if the line was busy or if the operator reported a "don't answer" When she told him to send the telephone com. pany his name and address to get his nickel back. he went simply wild"
 The judges consulted among themselves. The courtroom buzzed with sympathetic talk.
 They cant do anything about. It." Woythaler whispered to q spectator, "a. man has some rights
 The judges turned in their yer dict of guilty with 90 days. Woy. thaler, dazed. left the courtroom shaking his head.

 In commenting on the motion to set aside, Jndge McNiff states that the $1,S0O verdict is not excessive in view of the injuries to the plain tiff's back. He finds that both cars were negligently operated and that combined negligence of the drivers was a substantial factor in pro- ducing the plaintiffs injuries. At torney Sidney s.

him up and carry him around, in honor of the championship crown which he is liable to take from his manager, John Fitzmaurice. Michael Goggins' "Rovers'' and John Phelan's "All-stars'' played Q nip and tuck game all the way through, John finally nosing out by Q tight score of 32-31. Michael has q tough team and they are dangerous opponents to any team. Next week the "All-Stars" play the "Shamrocks'' and Big Joe" Coughlan has already informed John Fitzmaurice to be in tip top shape us he is bound to be broken and will be broken plenty. <.
 John Bowey's Sligo 7Terrors" couldn't catch their stride last night and were taken over by the Boy Wonders 34-29. One of the reasons for the defeat was that Chris Harmon couldn't pull Dan 'O'Neill through, although he used every play he could bring into ac- tion, Dan was too much out of form and it was too much of a load to pull. It just couldn't be done.
 scoopie Carney's "Dare Devils defeated Bill Kelley's "Frlashes" 32-31, in whirlwind finish in which Fred Coughlan let loose a few trick plays which he has been holding back. and thought 1t was about time to execute them. Now Scoopie is forced to admit that Fred Is far from being washed up, and he has a few more left which he is going to use on Byrnes next week and if successful, 1t will look like curtains for Mike Cooke to hold his position as head coach. Fred is being swarmed with tele- ,phone calls and offers from all the other managers, but he swears he will stick by his old enemy-friend "Scoopie" Carey.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.- Representative Tilm a n B.

 Representative Parks said
 he received information, that
 to ssure Republican post
 masterships during the next four years, it has been a gen. leral practice. of the Hoover Administration to permit postmasters to serve as act ing post m a s t CTS for two years. This will make most of the four-year terms of first, second and third class postmasters continue until 1886 or 1887, he said, adding that postmasters are entitled to serve four years from the date of their confirmation by the United States Senate.
