$1,000 fine SET
IN LIQUOR COUNT
Former Poolroom Operator
Given Alternative OF
z Year Jail Term

Found guilty on six counts Of vi
olating the state liquor laws, Ken
meth D. Gray, 41-year-old Carolina
Beach resident and a former pool
room operator, was given the al
ternatives of paying a $1,000 fine
and the costs of court or of going
to Jail for two years by Recorder
H. Winfield Smith Wednesday.
The defendant, who pleaded not
guilty, took Today stay of judg-
ment under $1,000 bond to decide
whether to accept the recorders
judgment or appeal the case to
superior court.
The judgment fined Gray 1000
and the costs and imposed the two
year Jail sentence with the proviso
that the jail sentence be suspend
ed if Gray paid the fine and costs
and remained on good behavior for
the next two years.
Chief ABC Investigator Earl S.
Bland and ABC Officer Jesse Mat
thews testified that they found be-
tween six and seven cases of bond
ed whiskey bearing South Carolina
tax stamps in and around Gray's
home when the raided it, yin COM
pany with Carolina Beach police
officers, on August %.
Part of the whiskey, they said
was in a suitcase, part in a safe,
and part in the rear of Gray's
automobile which was parked out
side the home.
The court refused to receive in
evidence a notebook, seized in the
raid, which the ABC officers con-
tended showed that Gray had
crossed 1885 from liquor sales
They quoted him as declaring that
he had been retailing the South
Carolina product for Several
MONTHS
Recorder Smith ordered the cap
tured whiskey, made up of various
nationality advertised brands, turn
ed over to local Alcoholic Beverage
Control stores to be sold to the
public. The safe, in which the
whiskey was stored, was ordered
confiscated while Gray's Automo-
bile was returned to him.
The Gray raid netted the largest
amount of South Carolina-purchas-
ed whiskey seized by New Hanover
ABC officers in series of recent
drives against bootlegging here.
Due to the current whiskey
shortage here, bottled in bond IL
DINA, where the shortage is ap-
parently not acute, is repeatedly
bringing as much as s12 a quart.

John Thomas Biggs, prominent
Lumberton woman. was accidently
electrocuted about 4:3O p. m. to-
day when she came in contact with

was pronounced dead at p. m.

bush, and, in falling, grasped the
electric wire which ran from
shed to the chicken house. The
wire had to be cut from her hand
by an electrician.

FallOn FavOrs Count Fleet
as Winner of Kentucky Race

Louisville, KY. Apr. FINS -
Back in 1928 when Reign Count
won the Kentucky Derby, a scraw.
ny little guy crawled up behind a
blade OF grass and watched the race
the first horse race he ever saw.
That day he watched Reich Count
win by three lengths and he de-
cided then and there he would
spend the rest OF his life around
the horse tracks. He has fulfilled
his ambition.
On the racing programs when he
Is riding he is marked down as
Jockey NJ. l.. Fallon. He isn't riding
now due to injuries he received In
a workout spill more than a month
ago, but he still goes to the track
every day and he knows who Is
goirg TO win the Kentucky Derby
next Saturday--Count Fleet. OF
course.
The fact that Count Fleet Is an
offspring OF Reign Count-first
horse Fallon ever saw in a Derby
doesn't enter into this. There is no
sentiment attached. The Louisville
Jockey looks at the Derby with the
hard. cold opinion OF an expert. A
horse wins or loses In racing and
what his frebears did has no bear
ing on the situation. Nothing counts
but results.
Thus Count Fleet today stands as
the favorite of the horsemen them
selves as well as the public. the
gamblers and the press.

Frick Shows How to be Both
Right. Wrong at Same Time

Frick, speaking OF the pact, and
agreed to use a ball that met GER
tain specifications. There is no.
thing in the book that requires
both leagues to use the same ball. >"
He's right
Rule IA section ! OF the Official
Playing Rules OF Professional Base
ball Clubs merely provides that
the ball must weigh not less than
five nor more than 81 ounces avoir-
dupois, and measure not less than
9 nor more than 81 inches in cir.
conference.
There Is also a rider in the rules
that provides for Spalding ball to
be used in the National League,
and a Reach ball in the American.
This has apparently been set aside,
since Lou Coleman, OF A. G.
Spalding Co., issued a blanket ex-
PLANTATION on the lack of life in
all balls of 1913 manufacture in
both leagues.
In addition to being legally safe
in authorizing his league to use the
1912 ball, Frick was also prompt
ed by few papgs OF worry. The
small crowds and grousing over
the "Blutwurst ball" became part
OF his life since the season open
ed. When he handed ont the Cole
man statement on the dead ball,
Prick looked like a man who was
sick and tired of hearing about a
ball over which he had no control.
He did have control over the 1912
ball, however. and urged on by the
mutters OF blighted batters and
dissatisfied officials, he threw the
1912 ball into the game.
