Harold Discharged d
 On Vehicle Charge
Conflicting Testimony Heard in Case; Warns Accused
 That Similar Action Would Ban His License

tampering with an automobile. He is the operator of a used car lot on West Main street, and was charged with moving a car belonging to Raymond Palmer, 2l. of Watertown, from the street into his car lot without permission from the latter.
 Yesterday afternoon Palmer took a car from Harold'S used car lot in order to try it out, leaving his own car behind. Harold testified this morning that Palmer told him he would return in half an hour, and asked him in the event that he was delayed, if he, Harold, would take care of his car for him. Palm er'S car was left parked in the street just outside the car .ot where the parking limit is only 30 minutes.
 Palmer then drove off, and got into an accident with a truck on Huntingdon avenue, and failed to return to the car lot in the time he had specified. Harold then re- moved Palmer's car from the street into the car lot.
 After being booked at the police station on a charge of violating the rules of the road, Palmer re- turned to the lot, and found that his car had been removed, without his permission, he alleged. He then had Harold arrested on charge of tampering with an automobile.
 Testimony of very conflicting nature was given the court this morning by Palmer, by Harold, and by Officer Joseph Mccarthy, who arrested Harold on Palmer's con- plaint.
 Attorney A. Henry Weisman, ap- bearing for Harold, asserted that if it was against the law for Harold to move the car from in front of his lot, it would be equally illegal every time motorist moved a car ahead of his a few feet in order to get out of small parking space He claimed that Harold did have the express permission of Palmer to move the car, and that even if he hadn't his moving it was a favor to the owner.
 Prosecuting Attorney Galullo claimed, on the other hand, tha. Harold had no right whatever to move the car, and that he should have left that task to policemen whom the city of Waterbury en- ploys to take care fo such situa- tions.
 Judge Gaffney warned Harold that further offense of the same nature might result in his losing his license, and force him out of busi- ness. He granted him a discharge for this offense.
 Palmer was given a nolle for vio- lation of the rules of the road or payment of $5.

A divergent view comes from
Wamby, a chain grocery COM

time scout for the New York
Yankees.
I'VE hit better and got more
runs. We had just as good a pitch

20-game winners, Ray Caldwell
and Stanley Coveleski.
Don't forget, too, that we had

just as good in the field, just as
good behind the bat and in the
box, and our hitting was a lot
better.

Graney, who now describes the
Indians games on the radio for
his old home town fans, opines
this club is a better af1-around
team. 1t is better defensively in
several spots. but believe we
had little more power. A lot of
our players hit over 800, even
with that old cocoanut".
Back in 1920, the Tribes first
string catcher was a fellow called
Steve O'Neill, one of procession
of later-day Cleveland managers
and now pilot at Buffalo.
Bagby was the pitching king
pin as Bob Feller is now. He
turned in 81 wins against only II
defeats. Walter Mails, who joined
the club late in the season, won
seven in a row and was big fac
tor in the stretch drive Cald-
wells record was 20 and 10, Gov
eleskie's 24-14.
George Burns held down first
base and Larry Gardner third.
Chapman was the regular short
stop until he was killed by one of
Carl Mays submarine ball pitch
es. Joe Sewell plugged the gap
the remainder of the year. In the
outfield with Speaker and Graney
were Charley Jameson, Elmer
Smith and Joe Wood.
Best of all, six of the eight reg
ulars were in the select 800 cir
cle-about twice as many as on

the season and Greenberg's 35th

the way for the Tigers one-sided
