Louisville, KY. - Acting under or

sheriffs Monday entered two pool
rooms in South Louisville, arrested
29 persons and seized paraphernalia
as evidence and demolished the furni-

which was said was kept by Ed Alver,
horse owner, seven players were ar
rested.
Many other persons fled from the
pool rooms and fled through the fields
of the suburb. Several of those ar
rested resisted the officers and re-
volvers were used by the deputies to
force submission. In the excitement
several men were knocked down and
trampled. Five of the prisoners, al

CHICAGO'S CHIEF OF
POLICE STABBED
HIS SON AND DRIVER ALSO WERE
WOUNDED.
THEWoRK OF AN ANARCHIST
Chief Shippy Drew a Revolver and
Killed His AssaiIant-Dead Anar-
chist Has Been Identified -
Many Places Raided.

Chicago. - Chief of Police George
M. Shippy, his son Harry and
he's driver, James Foley, were wound
ed by an anarchist who attempted to
assassinate the police official in the
hall of the latter's residence, 81 Lin
coin court, shortly after o'clock Mon
day morning. The desperate struggle,
in which Mrs. Shippy and her daugh-
ter, Georgia, Joined, was terminal
ed when the chief drew his revolver
and killed his assailant.
Harry Shippy was the most severely
fray. Although the bullet from the
assassin's revolver passed completely
through his body just above the heart,
it was said last night that his chances
for recovery were favorable. His ia
ther was stabbed in the arm, while Fo-
ley received a bullet in the wrist Mrs.
Shippy was kicked by the desperate,
but her hurts are slight.
The man who was slain by Chief
of Police Shippy was identified Mon
day night as Lazarus Averbuch, who
for three weeks had lived at 21S Wash
burn avenue, on the West Side. His
Identification was established through
a sister, who was taken by the police
to the undertaking rooms. Averbuch
had been in America only three
months, having come direct from Aus
tria, whittier he fled from Kishinev
two years ago to escape the persecu-
ton of Jews in that city. Through in
formation received from his sister and
from a fellow employe in a produce
commission house where Averbuch
had recently been employed, the police
were able to trace Averbuch's move
ments and learn the views he held.
1t was learned that Chief Shippy's in
terference several weeks ago with a
parade of unemployed men, headed
by Or" Ben L. Reitman, coupled with
the more recent announcement that
Emma Goldman would not be allowed
to speak in public in Chicago, led
Averbuch to remove" the police head
in Russian Terrorist" fashion.
Following the attack squads of po-
lice were sent into the Italian and
Ghetto quarters of the city. Places
known as headquarters of secret So
cieties suspected of anarchistic ten
dencies were raided and a score or
more of arrests were made
That the attempt to kill Chief Ship
py resulted in failure was due largely
to the policeman's quickness in antici-
pating the purpose of his visitors
presence. The man had twice called
at the house and asked for the chief
Sunday, when he was told that Mr..
Shippy was at work and called again
Monday morning, when a servant in,
formed him that the chief could not be
seen before 8 o'clock. When he rang
the door bell at the latter hour, the
chief himself answered the call.

the practices of the Swedes and Nor
wegians of Minnesota, who have erect
ed immense slides and hold annual
championship meets to decide the pre-
miership of the skee jumpers. Some
of these Jumpers glide down a steep
incline on the long ashen runners strap
ped to their feet, bound from a take
off and hurl themselves from 100 to
100 feet through the air, landing in
an upright position. There is disaster
in the skee jump for the careless or
unframed man, but who would stop
to think of danger when a brace of
plump Christmas turkeys and a cham
pionship title reward the victor?
The people who try to argue that
American ice sports do not call forth
the hardihood of those of other nations
appear to the writer to be i~rrespon-
sible or prejudiced in their way of
talking.
How about a hockey game? How
about the work of the men who handle
the tillers of ice yachts? How about
our snowshoers and our long distance
skaters?
A hockey game as played by the well
known clubs of Cleveland or Pittsburg
or Detroit or New York or Buffalo or
the many colleges is a heroic test for
even the most seasoned athletes. The
strain on wind, heart and muscle in a
hockey game is so severe that in
match games between prominent
teams the players are examined by a
physician before being allowed on the
ice. Sprained ankles, torn ligaments,
violent blows from skate blades and
sticks are the merest incidents to
trained hockeyists. The typical Amer
lican is n born fighter, and to satisfy
his lust for actual combat he begins to
play hockey as soon as the football
season ends. He makes the game as
much like real war as the police will
allow, and when some meddlesome
college president tells him he is an
abysmal brute or a ruffianly man
mangler he begins TO fear for the sta
bility of the nation.

to regret 1t. In case of an upset, while
his passengers, crouching low under
the monster boom in their heavy furs,
are usually thrown out on the ice on
their backs, the helmsman is SO placed
that he is invariably caught under the
heavy fabric and crushed and dragged
over the ice. 1t is this danger that
creates much Of the fascination of ice

Hockey PLAYER CHASING THE PUCK.
In the sporting field, for, as a rule, it
marks the opening of the outdoor sea-
son in the east. And in the northwest
and parts of the middle west where
cold weather comes earlier it indicates
the time of the very height of activity.
There is, after all, something charac-
teristic of the very Christmas season
itself in the pastimes of the holiday
period. This is the season of good
cheer, of good will toward men, theo-
retically anyway, and the recreations
are distinctively those that promote
good feeling toward oneself as well as
to others.
1t is almost impossible to enumerate
the outdoor winter pastimes hat find
favor in this erratic land. That the
king of them all is ice yachting almost
any one will admit, though unfortu-
nately the number of votaries of the
thrilling diversion is limited by the
space required, and also the uncertainty
of the weather is a frequent discour-
ager. But when favorable conditions
prevail what can excel a day on an ice
yacht?
A mere view of the spectacle of a
popular ice yachting center is suf1-
cient to start the novice's blood -cour
ing. On Lake Minnetonka, Minnesota

son rivers these sensationally swift and

"The worst thing about winter is
that it isn't long enough" said a ruddy
checked athlete to the writer a few
days ago. He swims in New York bay
- the year round, breaking in the ice
to secure a dip when necessary, and
likes nothing better than running foot
races in bare feet lin a bathing suit
over snow and ice. This borders on
the heroic, and most of us would prob

Occasionally the American sportsmen
are ridiculed by foreign rivals because
our winter pastimes, they allege, do
not require especial hardihood. 1t has
been claimed that skating races and
hockey games do not, for example,
call for the ruggedness and daring re-
