Mother wanted Her Child.

George L. Catch, of 1884 Kenwood avenue,
has complained to the police that Mrs. Bes-
sic Landon, of Chicago. had kidnapped her
own child from his home. Catch claims
that the child belongs to Mrs. Landon, and
was born to her when she was married to
James Mescall, but that she relinquished
her claim to him some time ago and gave
him permission to adopt him. Instead Of
permitting him to do so. Mrs. Landon came
to Indianapolis from Chicago several days
ago and stayed with the Catch family, and
she had an opportunity to run away with
her child. Mrs. Catch took Mrs. Landon
and her son. Johnny Mescall, driving Sum
day, and while she stopped at a friends
house to visit the woman disappeared with
the child.
Gatch's story differs from that told by
Mrs. Landon when she called at the police
station a few days ago. She said she and
her husband had boarded the little boy with
the Catch family for year and a half. and
that she was delinquent in the payments
for board and wanted the child. She said
she intended to go to Gatch's home and get
her son, and ii is thought she took the child
secretly rather than ask for him. The po-
lice took no action, as Catch has no legal
claim to the child.

nOOSIERS BREAK HOODOOS
INDIANAPOLIS PLAYERS ARE SUPER
sTITIOUs IN GAMES.
Gave DuesseldOrfers One Run and Re-
fused tn Score Thirteen TaIIies-
Opening Tomorrow.

The Indianapolis baseball players and
Manager Watkins are a superstitious lot
of individuals. To shut a team out in an
exhibition game is considered by them to
be one of the worst hoodoos that could
possibly befall them and they gave the
Duesseldorfers. the local team that opposed
them, a tally in the eighth inning to pre-
vent such a calamity. Another serious
thing came near happening in the last of
the eighth and IT required the pleadings of
Manager Watkins and several of the other
players who have grudses against the num-
Der 13 to prevent the thirteenth run from
crossing the plate. The number 13 is sure
ly weak spot with Watty and his proteges
and they gave up several chances of in
creasing their score for fear that they
might stop with only thirteen tallies. The
score ended II to in favor Of Indianapolis
and beth hoodoos were broken.
The game was arranged to give the In
dianapolis players some much-needed prac-
tice. The weather was suitable for the
players and they limbered up in fine style.
The Indianapolis men did not try to run
up high score on their opponents. but
pract1ced base running and hitting and the
result was very beneficial. If the men
nave as much nerve against the Louis
Vile team In the opening game at Louis
Vile tomorrow they will come out victor
ious. Manager Watkins ordered all Of the
players to hoist the anchor when they
were on bases and they did not tie them
selves to the bags, as they did in the final
game against Cleveland. 1t was the last
exhibition game of the season and the men
displayed much ginger. The infielders
went after everything and they had plenty
of chances, as the pitchers permitted the
opposing batters to hit the ball. The out
helders also had several chances and they
covered themselves with glory.
Williams pitched the first five innings
and was then relieved by Killen. Williams
did not allow the Duesseldorfers to secure
a hit off his delivery The first time Killen
went TO bat he was struck on the toe by a
batted ball and in the next inning he was
encouraged by his team mates to permit
the opponents to score in order to break
the hoodOo. He tried to let them have a
hit, but they could not take advantage of
the opportunity. 1t required a couple of
wild throws and a complete laydown by
the Hoosiers to let the Duesseldorfers score
their only run. In the last inning Pierce
made the only hit credited to the Duessel-
dorfers.
