ball player and the strength Of his prowess
shown In practice game he elected to the
Olympic club and was chosen to so with the
club team 10 Hawaii. He became a social IA
vorite. and only recently began TO borrow money
from friends
In the last few weeks bill collectors have been
making Ford's life a burden. and their clamor
led several men to investigate his record and
they found he in the Rogues Gallery in
indianapolis for swindling. and that his method
had been 20 obtain iewelry from women and
sell IT, trusting to their fear Of exposure not to
prosecute him.

Ford of Washington. He has a police record as
a swindler in Pittshurg, Milwaukee and New
