WOMAN CLOSED JOINT.
Also Collected the Money won From
Her Young Son

A woman giving the name Of Mrs
NJ. a. Mcdonald called at the police
station late last night and asked for
the loan Of an officer She said she
wanted to interview Ted" Davis. the
alleged proprietor OF the billiard hall at
DIG Kansas avenue. Detective Ross ac-
companie1 her to the place where
Davis was persuaded to refund So
which he claimed he did not owe.
Earlier in the evening Mrs. Nc
Donald's son, Edgar. q precocious youth
with taste for "strOng-arn' pool,
dropped into the Davis place and starr
ed game with Robert Davis, son of
the proprietor. Young Davis lost the
first game and offered to bet two dol
lars that he would not lose the next.
Mcdonald thought it would be excellent
business to nick" Young Davis, so he
took the bet. The joke. however, did
not prove to be a good one, as Davis,
who plays pool all the time. could riay
better than Mcdonald. When Mcdonald
went home he was $3.50 shy, having
continued TO bet in hopes Of regaining
his original investment. Like most un-
experienced plungers. he was unsuc-
cessfuI.
Mrs. Mcdonald, when she learned Of
the loss, decided that although she was
no pool player, she was something of
"a collector, and taking her young hope
1ul by the ear, she came up town with
him and made him point out the Davis
pool parIor. Ted Davis saw her coming
and closed the doors. Tt was then that
she called upon the police and secured
an escort Cor the trip.
1t may be possible that Mrs. Nc
Donald worked a double reform, and
not only cured her son of the pool habit,
but closed a joint 1t Is certain that
