Jones. who won baseball inn

hit game against the Pittsburgh
Pirates here May -, 1855, early
last week was traded to the St

deal which provoked much discus
sion and a great deal Of specula-
ton, He was the top player in the
deal which also sent teammates
Jim Davis another pitcher, Hobie
Landrith, a catcher and Eddie
Midsis, an infielder, TO the Red
birds.
Fans who have come to adj
mire Jones for his spectacular
feat and his hard work on the
mound, have raised the question
that the Cubs, in seeking to bolster
its catcher staff might have gone
too far in departing with Sam.
Despite his spells Of wildness,
they feel that Jones has been a
valuable asset 10 the Cubs, His
replacement, Tom PoholslSy. a

second semester planning meeting
Monday in the office of County
Superintendent Rolla d. Webster.

the 1888 textbooks and the

available, it was noted, they will
be sponsored by the State. Regular
scholarships will still be available
as usual.
In other discussions the school

given bus drivers were lauded and
Mrs. Eugene Harbage, who con-
ducts the classes, was praised for
her work. Another class in first aid
for other drivers will probably get
underway soon.
Other routine topics were dis
cussed in the meeting, with each

tn discussion. Several points

groups were discussed with en-
phasis added as needed.

Hit-Skip Driver
Gets S1O0 Fine
In Mayors Court

The London Highway Patrol
Post reported that two young boys
were apprehended late Wednesday
night after chase of several miles
at speeds exceeding 100 miles per
hour, and in a stolen automobile.
The chase ended when the pursued
car crashed near Plain City on
Route AZ.
Patrolman Sanders of the post,
reported that he was on routine
patrol duty when a car passed him
travelling at an excessive rate of
speed. He gave chase3 and every
time he tried to stop the car, it
would pull into the center of the
road, blocking his try at passing.
After the chase at the high
speeds, the car wrecked at a point
near the Cheese plant close to
Plain City.
When the car wrecked. the Pa
trolman discovered that it was
driven by Is year old George Ed
ward Carmen, Fairborn. His COM
panion was Il year old Steve Ad-
kins, also of Fairborn. The 1856
Chevrolet which was wrecked was
reported stolen and the lads had
two loaded shotguns in the car
They did not attempt to use the
guns.
According to Patrolmen, the Ad-
kins youth is in University Hos
pital with possible fractured ribs,
conclusion and other injuries. Car
men is being held in the Madison
County Jail Juvenile quarters. He
was only slightly injured
In other action of the Patrol
they reported the hit-Skip convic-
ton Of John w. Baker, 26, London
Route /. He allegedly pulled in
front of vehicle travelling west on
90 at Lafayette. Baker was pulling
out of Route AZ bypass and failed
to stop.
He did not stop after the acci-
dent, and later gave himself up to
the Madison County Sheriff's de-
partment. In London Mayors
Court he was given a fine of S100
and costs with $50 suspended
No injuries We're reported in the
incident. The other car was driven
by Elliott Pyle, SO, of Columbus.
Patrolmen continued to warn of
the weather hazard to driving and
asked that all motorists give care
full consideration to road condi-
tons while driving. They are at
tempting to make the holiday sea-
son one without excessive acci-
dents.
