TWO CROOKS ARE IDENTIFIED
Confidence Men Sustain Blow to Their
Business in Arrest.
SAID TO BE OLD OFFENDERS
Certainly Their Game l., but Not
Too Old 20 Catch Victims who
Have Fat Rolls OF
Money.

That a great step toward the ultimate
killing of the business Of confidence men
in Nebraska has been taken with the cap
ture by Omaha detectives Of Andy Potts
and Charles Osborn. is believed by County
Attorney ]. c. Cook and Sheriff Dutch"
Bauman Of Dodge county, the Omaha
police and the railroad detectives, who
have been working on such cases for
months.
The men have been positively identified
by Dressler and William Moore. a Union
Pacific train porter. as the men wanted
by the police. The Omaha police say that
both Potts and Osborn are old time con-
tdence men and crooks, with pictures in
many rogues' galleries.
We will push this case TO the limit and
ought to break up the confidence men in
Nebraska by the prosecution said At
torney Cook, who spent several hours in
Omaha Tuesday morning.
He secured statements from both men
and q detailed account from Dressler OF
how he was buncoed and also held a long
consultation with Chief of Detectives
Savage of the Omaha police, Chief Canada
and Detective Wizard of the Union Pa
cific secret service and Sheriff Bauman OF
Fremont. The confidence game was PLAYED
In that town and the sheriff came 70
Omaha Tuesday morning to take back the
prisoners. He was accompanied by. Al
Evans, former county commissioners OF
Dodge county.
Same Pair, Looks Like,
The $500 bogus draft which Dressler re-
csived for his $50 in currency, is almost
Identical with the $1,000 draft given O. c.
HOFFMAN of Merna at Grand Island. when
the sWindlers secured $5 from him on the
customary express bill game.
Both drafts are supposedly drawn on the
Traders National bank of New York City
by tho cashier of the Beaver City National
a of Beaver City, Okl., and both are
numbered 1855. The only difference be-
tween the two is in the amounts and names
used.
During his examination by County Attor-
ney Cook Tuesday morning, Potts said that
he had recently been in the city jail here
under the name of A. III. Potts. Investiga-
ton showed that a man of that name was
arrested on April 10, with Eddie Mack, who
is said to be one of the country's most
famous confidence men and pickpockets.
Detectives Ferris and Dunn, who helped
make the arrests Monday night, were the
arresting officers on the first occasion.
Potts was sentenced to thirty days and
Mack to sixty days in the county Jail, from
which they were released a few days later
on appeal bonds.

POLO
BASKETBALL
BASE BALL
OVERSIGHT IN
NEWBALL RULES
What About Scoring From
Third on a Wild
Pitch

The new scoring rules for baseball
announced last week, are very fine as
far as they go, but I'm one instance
the men who made the changes did
not go far enough
The rule that does not permit the
scoring of a stolen base when double
steal is attempted and one OF the run
ners is retired is a mighty welcome
change And the new rule that gives
batter the credit of a sacrifice hit
on a fly that ought to have been
caught Is also approved by the ball
fans. But 1t is the rule that gives a
pitcher or a catcher an error If a bat
ter reaches first after a third strike
that does not look right
The change makes Il compulsory to
give pitcher an error II the third
strike goes wild. or the catcher gets
an error II he permits the third strike
10 get away.
Now. there is nothing said about a
run that is scored from third base on
a wild pitch or a passed ball. or If
a runner advances from FIRST to second
or second to third on a passed ball
or wild pitch. Why has this rule been
drawn so fne2 Is IL an oversight and
II not. why discriminate between the
two plays2
Surely II is a most glaring error. II
the catcher has a passed ball that
permits a man TO race home from
third y@th a run that may prove the
winner? or IL the pitcher makes a
wild chuck and a runner comes across
the plate. indeed, such battery"
error is more damaging than II a bat
ter gets 10 FIRST after having three
strikes called on him.
There is certainly room for improve
nent here and the rule makers
should look Il up.
