Another acquisition to the local lineup has been secured, but his iden- tity is somewhat of'a mystery. He is a second baseman and has been | signed up on the recommendation of «~Pete Wilson who says he is a phenom. He tried out with New London this spring and made a favorable impres- ston but was let go’'on account of the wealth ‘of players the Planters had at their command. Since then the new recruit has been playing with the Perth Amboy team ir New Jersey. He also was to report today. Second baseman Carey has been given his release by the management. Carey is a good player when he is in condition buat of late he has not been playing up to the standard and a change was thought necessary. CHIP ON SHOULDER $0 Says Judge Mangar—Autoist is Fined $59 and Costs. After finding William Long guilty of what was termed 'not a very seri- ous breach of the peace,” and impos- ing the nominal fine of $1 and costs, Judge Willlam F. Mangan in police court this morning took occasion to criticise Officer Strolls for his ‘“‘of- ficious” attitude. Judge Mangan said in part: “I would advise Officer Strolls. not to act as though he had a chip on his shoulder in performing his duty in the future.” Claimed Officer Followed Them. Mr. Long and his friends all de- clared that on Saturday night they were standing near the Main street crossing talking over personal mat- ters when Officer Strolls came along and ordered them to move on. They did so and he followed them up the street. The party went into the White House lunch room for sonme- thing to eat and the officer waited outside, they said. They crossed over to the Burritt school corner when the policeman also came across and or- dered them to scatter. Mr. Lorng stated that the patrolman seemed to pick him out individually ard after grabbing him by the shoulder he rapped on the walk for assistance and brought Special Officer O’Mara to the scene. Long was then arrested on a breach of the peace charge. Only Talked Loud. Friends and companions of the ac- cused, Fred Hickey and William Sco- field, testified to the arrest and all said that Long had not been creating any undue disturbance, although Hickey said that Long had been talk- ing a little louder than the rest. Says He Was Threatened. Officer Strolls told a different story. He said that he ordered the fellows to move on and later came upon them at the Burritt school corner. He de- nied that he had been following the party, but said that Long accosted him and ‘‘wanted me to take my coat off and come into the yard so he could trim my head off.” Mr. Long denied that he made any such statement and his friends also declared that they did not hear him threaten the police- man. “Well, he didn’t trim you, did he?” asked Attorney J. G. Woods, who ap- peared for the accused. “No sir, he certainly did vehemently declared the officer, Was Chasing Children. Officer ‘“Mat” Rival arrested Charles Halsted at 3:30 o’clock yesterday af- ternoon. He was drunk and was chasing and frightening the little children on South Main street. As he ‘has been in court on' several other occasions Judge Mangan found Hal- sted guilty and sent him to jail for fifteen days. Assaulted Little Boy. Being annoyed at little children playing in a vacant lot near his house Anthony Stori took the law into his own hands and chastised nine years old Robert Schmidt. He was flned $6 and costs this morning for so doing. The little boy’s friends testified that they were playing “kick the stick” when Stori grabbed the stick and walloped Schmidt. Stori admitted hit- ting the boy but denied using much violence. Dr. Bray, who examined not,” {the yvoungster, told of finding a large black and blue mark on his back where the man was alleged to have struck him. Young Keefe Discharged. Frank Keefe, aged seventeen years, svas discharged on a court of being vne of the gangsters who assaulted three Italians on Stanley. street Sun- day night. The three victims, Frank Lanza, Sebbastano Langa and Sebas- tian Tata, told of being assaulted by the gang but could not identify Keefe as being one of the gullty parties, al- though Sebastano Langa did say he thought Keefe was one of the as- sailants. Recognized One Fellow. Alden Andrews told a graphic story of the fight but said he could not iden- tify Keefe as one of the party. A young man named Charles Connors was the only one he recognized, he said. Keefe admitted being at the clam- bake at McCabe'’s grove but said he was not present at the time of the fight. He did not come along until it was all over, he declared. For lack et Sam: SaEsl L FESS e Prescription Compounding.
