Danville, June 27—Harry G. Gourley, 17, of Charlotte, N.C., is held here for the authorities of that city charged with stealing a closed car belonging to the son of Kenesaw M. Landis, commissioner of baseball. The car was stolen from outside the Charlotte baseball park on the occasion of the Commissioner’s recent visit.
Gourley was caught in Danville by change. Two policemen thought the young man looked nervous as he drew into town at daybreak and noticed his burst of speed when he had gone by. A motorcycle officer overhauled him at Design, near the city, and subsequent inquiry led to the arrest.
