POLICE CAPTURE
ELUSIVE SUSPECT
Prisoner Who Escapes Arrested
Half Hour Later for Steal
ing Diamonds
RECAPTURED IN A DRUG STORE
DasheS Out of Central Station as
Officers Prepare to
Search Him

Within less than half an hour after
he made his escape from the central
police station following his arrset on a
charge of stealing a pair OF cheap slip
pers from an East First street store,
David w. Gibbs of San Diego was taxi
en- into custody by Detective Louis Rico
at Ninth street and Central avenue last
night on suspicion of having stolen $500
worth of diamonds from DR.. r. S. Pet
ter of 1853 Central avenue.
Gibbs came to Los Angeles a short
time ago. He is said to be victim or
the drug habit. He is we'll educated.
The young man entered the store OF
II. Bukowsky at 205 East First street
last night and offered to sell an alarm
clock for % cents. When the proprietor
of the place turned to get the money
Gibbs, 1t Is asserted, took pair Of
slippers that were on a counter and
placed them under his coat.
Patrolman Fitzgerald was passing at
the time and witnessed the action of
the young man. The latter was placed
under arrest and sent to the central po-
lice station. While being conveyed to
iail Gibbs begged to be allowed his
liberty, and declared that he was a
nephew of DR.. C. e. Zerfing, head of the
receiving hospital. This relationship
later was denied by DR.. zerfing, who
says he simply is an acquaintance Of
the accused.
Gibbs watched his opportunity, and
while the officers were preparing to
search him he dashed out of the build
ing, ran under the heads Of the horses
attached to the patrol wagon and made
his escape by running down a dark al
ley.
In the meantime Detective Louis
Rico, who was ignorant of the arrest
and escape of the youns fellow, was
waiting at Ninth street and Central
avenue for the appearance of Gibbs
who frequently patronized the drug
store conducted by DR.. r. S. Peter at
S53 Central avenue, and who is alleged
to have taken $500 worth of diamonds
from a coat which DR.. Peter had
placed in closet In a rear room.
Gibbs appeared at the drug store and
promptly was taken into custody. He
refused to make statement concerning
the theft of the diamonds. When he
was taken before the desk sergeant the
latter quickly recognized the prisoner
as the man who had escaped short
time before.
According to the police, the diamonds
were stolen about ten days ago. Gibbs,
1t is asserted, was seen lettering about
the premises shortly before the gems
were missed. The articles have not
been recovered.

DRUG VICTIM is JAILED
IN AN EFFORT AT CURE

c. e. Connors, who called at central
police headquarters several days ago
and requested that he be put in jail to
keep him away from the morphine he
craved, was sentenced to thirty days by
Police Judge Chambers yesterday on a
charge of disturbing the peace.
Connors when told by Desk Sergeant
Mcclure that he would have to be ar
rested before he could be placed In jail,
caused a disturbance in the corridors
of the building. When taken into the
police court he pleaded guilty and
asked that he be given long sentence.
The court committed him to Jail until
yesterday, when he was sentenced.
An effort is being made by Judge
Chambers to have Connors treated for
the drug habit during his stay in jail.

The drive is the expected.
How much better, at this point,

set for a drive and with the battery
is caught flat-footed. What if the
batter does go out on a foul bunt?
If he makes good occasionally, he
has done something. The bunt is
unexpected, hence it is good base
ball.
Why don't managers teach third
base men to stick to the bag with a
runner on second and not more
than one out? The batter bunts and
the baseman tears in to field the
ball, while the runner joys to third.
It's better ball to get the man near
est home than the man obviously
willing to be retired, to advance
him.
Why, when the hit-and-run is on
and the runner tips off the play,
doesn't the batter make bluff to
bunt, draw in the infield and then

infielder expects a batter to turn
this trick. That's why it's good
base ball.
You've watched batters let two
strikes go by, when the bases are
empty. Then he fans. This is the
expected. Is there any reason why
they don't take a toe hold and
swing on the first ball pitched,
usually fast and in the groove?
It's time managers came out of

have often said "the unexpected
wins ball games" The team upon
which the opposition can't figure to
follow precedent has an advantage.
whereas the team that plays in
grooves finds sand in the bearings.
How often have you read, with
two out, So-and-So reached first and
died stealing?"
They ALWAYS try to steal with
two down. Why? Because some one
once decided 1t was good base ball
to steal and score on a single, at
such a time. Sure! 1t is always
good base ball to advance, but is
there a particle of sense in AL
WAYS doing the same thing? Are
players like the calf that followed
in the path another calf made?
You've seen the battery play for
the runner, with two gone. The
pitcher wastes two or three, so his
catcher may have free throw, and
the runners nipped seven times out
of nine. Is this base ball?
Wouldn't it be better If the run
ner occasionally forced the pitcher
into a hole and DIDN'T RUN? Then
the pitcher would have to stick the
ball over, or walk the batter. If he
walks the batter the runner is adj
vanced, and when forced to get it
over the batter has the advantage
and has a chance to make a hit. So
why the steal? The time to steal is
when the play isn't so apparently
the thing that should be done.
