He appears to be in the best form of his career which is really "saying something." Charlie Gehringer, the best second baseman to ever show around Toronto, is also going good. for Detroit, and is leading the league so far in base date. His hitting has also been timely, stealing, having piliered three to Connally, the speed baller, an- ather former Toronto stalwart, was in«the box for the losing White Sox.

Mgr. Osier has taken this into account, and when he was hooking Harold's new picture, 'Speedy,' he arranged for a four-day showing--This will be good news for the followers of comedy. The picture will be shown twice daily and everyone will have an opportunity of seeing it with comfort, "Speedy" is Harold Lloyd, and he lives in a speedy city--New York. The different modes of fast transportation in that city are shown as the picture opens, inter- spersed with the scenes of New Yorkers, of all ages, going at high speed; included in these is a young 14d on a scooter, and one of an infant child on the grass of Cen- tral Park moving along at a fast rate on all "fours" while a nurse vainly tries to cateh it, From these scenes the pleture dissolves down to where we see Pop Dillon driving the last horse car in the big city, CIGARETTES 20 for 25¢ We find that Pop owns the fran- chise to this "novel" railroad. His granddaughter, Jane Dillon, meets him as the horse drawn car arrives at the carhayns at the end of the day's run. Pop complains to her of his rheumatism. She assists him home, and asks him if he has heard the good news--Speedy has a new joh! He has been so dub- bed, because of his aptness in oh- taining, and sGmmarily being dis- charged from various jobs. The reason is given because he spends all his time dreaming ahout base- ball and of hisefavorites, Speedy is shown on his new job, apparently studying over some knotty problem but a double expns- ure shows him dreaming about the day's game. As his favorite hits a foul hall, one of his co-workers hits him with a paper ball, bringing Speedy out of his reverie rather suddenly. The boss ecomzs in, and asks Speedy about some bill of Jai- ings. Speedy can't remember to whom or where he had the goods sent. The boss, riled, asks him the day's batting average of Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig, whereupon Speedy tells him right off the bat. The boss replies that he h24 entered the averages on his hooks the day before, and discharg2s him but gets a change of heart, and gives Speedy a letter to deliver in 15 minntes. Speedy dashes out, delermined to make good but rnroute comes across an illustrated score bnard showing the day's game. He stops, and forgets al] about the letter, At- ter the game he suddenly remem- bers about the le*'cr, and comes across his boss, who tells him he delivered a copy himself, and that Speedy is fired for good this time. Speedy goes home. A scene shows a meeting of the New York Iuter-City Railway Com- pany, of which Joh, I..

They call in Steven Carter, and empower him to deal with Pop, saying they will pay $75,000 for the franchise. As they wish to remain in the back- ground in the deal, they make a check out to Stevea Carter for that amount. Outside, Carter smiles knowingly to himself, and calls up a gangster friend, 'eilinz him he has a job for him. If Pop fails to run his car over the line one day, the franchise will be Jost by des fault, When Speedy gets home, Janc is dismayed to find he has lost his job, but Speedy counters with: "The Yankees won today!" Carter enters and gives Jane two tickets for Coney Island. Speedy's jealousy is aroused when Carter leaves, he demands to know who he is. Jane tells him he is their new boarder. Speedy asks to take Jane to Coney Island the next day, with the Con- ey Island scenes following. When they return home Speedy resolves to turn over a new leaf, and get a job and make 200d. Upon entering the house they find Carter rubbing Pop's back. Speedy again is jealous, telling Carter that it is his job to rub Pop's back. The mext day, Speedy goes out and gets a job with the "Only One" taxi company. As he leaves the garage with the battered taxi, the "Out of Order" sign falls on the door. All day he looks for pas- sengers; until finally he is hailea by Babe Ruth who is late for the game at Yankee Stadium. Speedy is de- lighted with his honored passen- ger, and speeds to the ball park. Arriving there, cops are chasing some crooks, and Speedy thinks they're after him. He ducks into a telephone booth, and hears a con- versation in the mext booth.

WATERDOWN DOCTOR PASSES AT HAMILTON Hamilton, April 28.--Dr. John Owen McGregor of Waterdown, a family physician of the old school, died today at General Hospital, aged 78. He was Injured by an automobile a few months 'ago, and this contributed to his death. Dr. McGregor practiced his pro- fession in Waterdown for 53 years and was known widely in that part of Wentworth County. To scores of families he was more than their physician--he was their friend and confidant.

Of his seven children, five have followed in his path, two sons be- ing doctors and three daughters nurses. THE LIAR (Montreal Star) She (demurely): Do you con- sider my legs long? He Madam, I assure you I never even look, will be jake," says the mysterious one. Speedy rushes bome and de- mands to be allowed to drive the car. Jane, in contempt gives him that job, after Carter protests he has a man for the job. Speedy ac- cuses Carter of conspiracy. Speedy goes to the carbarns and tells Pop's old cronies that he ex- pects trouble apd they pledge alle- glance to Speedy. He is to drive the car the next day. Next morning Harold takes over the serious business of piloting the car over Pop's line. Carter's thugs, at his behest, try to knock Harold out, but he outwits them. On the return trip, a fight is held between the crooks, now reinforced in num- bers, and into which the old cron- jes of Pop join. Harold and his gang finally put the crooks to route, and upon the completion of the run, Harold puts the car in the barns. Meanwhile Pop has been sent to Connecticut on the advice of Carter's "doctor." When Speedy goes to work the next morning he is dismayed to find the car and horses gone. He employs different methods to find it, and finally succeeds. The gang gang chases him through trafic, and while Speedy is so engaged, Pop unexpectedly returns to his house where he is confronted by Carter, who hastily offers him $5,.- 000 for the franchise. Carter had already overpowered Jane and tied her in 2 room upstairs. The time limit set by the railway company nears, and Carter is desperate. Pop is just about to accept Car- ter's offer when Speedy dashes up in the car. He grabs Pop and pulls hiner into the car, and they drive hurriedly back the line, where they meet who offers Pop $100,000 outright for the fran- chise. Pop, overjoyed, accepts and gives half to Speedy.
