He told them he left the
Cards because he had a row
with Street and heard Gabby
was going to fine him $780,
which he could i'll afford to
lose in view of his meager stl-
pend.
Street was again queried and
swore there had been no rift
and that he hadn't even
spoken to Dizzy in a month
outside of the ordinary routine
Of running a ball club.
The facts are these - Dizzy
hadn't been going very good
of late and feared he might be
sent back to the Houston CTexaS
League) club, and rather than
suffer such ignominy, decided
to abdicate. Also, and along
the same lines of innate pre-
Varication:
Midway Of the 1884 season,
Dizzy failed to report to the
Cards to play an exhibition
game in Detroit.
That is all comparatively

In the season of 1888 Dizzy deserted the
st. Louis Cardinals, picking up his extra
shirt, collar and tie, and taking an overland
bus to Oklahoma, his adopted land.

Il Good Hitter Hts
Medwick Explains
Hitting Spree

DETROIT. Mich. Oct. And now comes
to take its place in the sun with Eldorado,
vile, OKLA, and other hamlets near and far
that have sent their stalwarts to world series
glory.
For out of Carteret, N. j., came Joseph
"Duckie" Medwick to slug his way into the
hall of fame along with Ruth and Wagner
and Dizzy Dean and Pepper Martin; with
Babe Adams and Home Run Baker and those
valiants of the diamond.
The larruping Lithuanian hit the first
home run of the 1884 world series, made four
hits out of five times at bat and drove home
two runs in his first world series game.
Listed only as one of the supporting cast to
the dazzling Dizzy Dean, he won his share
of the glory before that long and hectic
game was done. Every one of his four
drives rang as clear as bell
Medwick made his place in world series
history, carved it deep in the imperishable
records with bat that wouldn't be stilled.

WORKERS.
r STRIKE AGAIN

DETROIT, April 13 UN.S0.
Four thousand tool and die max
ers, a vital segment Of the auto
motive industry, quietly ceased
work in 80 shops today, beginning
a strike which may have a power
full effect on the automobile plants.
The strike became effective at
midnight. Earlier in the evening
$500 members of the Mechanics
Educational Society of America,
craft union of the die men, had
voted to call a strike in the 90
shops, but to withhold the far
more dangerous weapon of a gen.
eral strike.
Their action means that while 80
of the city's 167 tool and die shops
are affected, the automobile in
dustry's supply of vital equipment
is not entirely cut off. A general
strike would mean a walkout in
all the shops, not only the inde-
pendent ones but also the tool and
die divisions of the auto plants.
It was this kind of strike that tied
up the industry last year, delaying
new models from one to three
months.

NEW YORK, April 13.-Though
still refusing to marry the girl he
betrayed, Sidney Homewood,
Rockland county riding master,
believes he has paid his debt to
society and to Charlotte Gibson.
Convicted, Homewood preferred
a sentence of from one to three
years in Sing Sing and a fine Of
$500, to marrying her and giving
her child a name.
Now, after more than a year in
prison, he is asking parole. His
fine has recently been cut in half,
and prison authorities expect he
will be paroled about May Is.
He said today:
"GOd knows, I've suffered.
I've done my bit. I've paid.
And my mother has suffered
three times more than I have.
It's been terrible for her"
But Charlotte Gibson, the 23-
year.old society girl Of Tappen, is
unrelenting.
A week after the sensational
trial in which Homewood was con-
victed, Miss Gibson'S child was
born. It lived only IL days.

McNeill, chief defense counsel for
Bishop James Cannon, jr., marked
the session of the trial of the
bishop and Miss Ada Burroughs,
charged with violation Of the

The first clash came when
Justice Gordon sustained a Gov

Of Lee P. Oliver, Department Of

Mr.. McNeill shouted:

Jibe at Garnett
Mr.. McNeill accused Mr.. Oliver
Of being there in the capacity Of a
spy. This was denied by the
agent, who said he had been as
signed to this case and that he
was under orders to attend the
conferences.
Mr.. McNeill then turned to Mr..
Garnett and snapped:

After much pickering over the
Oliver testimony, the agent left

merchant.
Mr.. Willis testified that he
was a beneficiary under the will
Of Mrs. Mary Moore, and that
he received a check from Bishop
