DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT WEDNESDAY, JUNE 20. 1928.

GANGLAND IS ACTIVE AGAIN Chicago, June 20—(U.R)— Chicago's gangland apparently has awakened from the period of inactivity which followed its contributions of violence several weeks ago in Illinois' primary war of bullets and bombs. Within twelve hours three well known members of little Italy's alcohol racket have been shot to death, two of them on the famous "corner of death" at Cambridge and Oak streets, where in the last 20 years more than 50 men have been assassinated. Tlte third and latest killing occured on the South Side, early today. The victim was identified as James Raggle, 40. Haggle was found lying in the street, bis body filled with shotgun slugs. He lived only a few hours, and died without regaining consciousness. Baggie, like the two men who died at the "corner of death" James Oliv-. eri and Joseph Salamone, long bad been associated with the . alcohol; racket, police said. Joseph H. Teycer, former police officer, now employed by tlte post-1 office department, was shot and wounded probably fatally today in a cabaret on the southside. Police revealed Teycer was shot by Anthony Carlos, upon orders of Dominick Devito, reputed southside gang leader. The shooting occurred | in tlte cabaret owned by "Umbrella" , Mike Boyle. °“T — Vanguard Os Indiana Democrats To Leave For Houston Tomorrow Carles A. Greathouse, national com-1 mitteeman; R.

But you’ll be ready witl a short and vicious come-back to anj man who says there aren't any gooc five-cent cigars. And why shouldn’t Havana Ribboi be good? Listen. Havana Ribboi has the two qualities necessary t< make any cigar good: It’s ripe tobacco and it’s long-filler tobacco Ever hear of such a thing before ir a five-cent cigar? No bitter underripe nor flat-tasting over-ripe leaves No short ends to crumble in youi mouth. But long, fully-ripe leaves —all so chock-full of fragrance and pure, mellow-mild flavor. Puff away on a Havana Ribbon and you’ve never before seen the world sc peaceful and yourself so thoroughly smoke-contented. Cigar counters everywhere carry Havana Ribbon. Also sold in Practical Pocket Packages of five cigars. A package makes an overflow of enjoyment.

Ed Walsh. Jr., whose daddy was once the "Iron Man" of the American League, has signed up with (lie Chl-| cago White Sox, and great things are expected from the youngster, even in this, ills first season. Notre Dame’s baseball team recently swung through the east, less de | vacating, perhaps, than some of -the football teams which have come out of South Bend, but still good enough to defeat Harvard. 20 to 1. Young Ed Walsh, u replica of his distinguishnd daddy, as far as size and comparative effectiveness is concerned, pitchled that game. A series of nine straight victories lias been credited to young Ed this I year, recalling in the minds of some of us the American League pennant race of 190 S, when "Big Ed." the elder, won 40 games and lost but 15. One of the anomalies of baseball always will lie .the White Sox when they were tilt' "hitless wonders” mid’er Fielder Jones. Defensive baseball, such as has carried the Cincinnati Reds to the top of the National league tace during the current season, was the forte of the White Sox more than two decades ago. And Big Ed Walsh was one of the mainstays of the pitching staff hurlers who kept the team at tlie top of the American league . standing despite tile weakness of the I Sox attack. Big As His Pappy Young Ed Walsh, who wound up his college career in a blaze of glory at Notre Dame this spring, is fully as liig as his pappy was during the latter’s prime, weighing 190 pounds but | looking somewhat lighter, for the kid ; is tall and comparatively slenddr. Ed, the Ed of the White Sox in their ; best days, has been coaching Ed Jr., and another son named Bob Walsh, a I younger brother, in the mysteries of I pitching.' The latter has a couple of more years to play for Notre Dame J .1

and may become even more famous than the ambitious noy who now joins the Chicago White Sox. It is Ed that the critics of 1928 are concerned, however, for it is tare, indeed, for n boy to step from a college team to success in the major leagues. In the college ranks, for instance, young Ed was somewhat of a hitter no less than a pitcher. This never would dp in the majors. Once it was discovered that Babe Until copld mi a baseball be was deprived for the rest of his career from doing any hulling, and a capable left handed pitcher was lost to posterity. Against Harvard, in the game which established young Ed Walsh's fame in tlie east, he not only held tlie Crimson nine to seven scattered hits, but scored four runs himself, driving out the one home inn of the game. Big Ed's Record Stands A bewildering spit ball was one of Hie original "Big Ed" Walsh's best bets. But despite tlie fact that experts will tell you that spit ball pitching takes a lot out of a finger, it will he recalled that Walsh, it) 1908. pitched 66 games for tlie White Sox, a total of 461 innings. This remains a major league record, despite tlie "iron
