ParoIed Illinois Prisoner, Who Makes

Frustrated in Murderous Designs
by FancifuI Yarn.

Elgin, Ill-A fanciful story of a
curly-headed boy and sweet and pretty
wife, enither of whom exist, worked
upon the sympathy of desperate way
farer who had drawn revolver for the
purpose of killing Frederick Ackman, a
wealthy Hampshire, ILL.,, bachelor, and
gave Ackman time to outline a plan
whereby the desperate could be cap
tured. This play of wit against muir
derous purpose occurred while the two
men sped along lonely road near FL
gin in Ackman's automobile.
Hampshire is Is miles from Elgin.
Ackman, who is thirty years old and
the son of a wealthy farmer, visited
Elgin. AS he whirred along the road
short distance out on his way home
he was hailed by a stranger.
Cant you give me lift?" the stran-
ger asked in a pleasant tone, and Ack-
man invited him to Jump in
For the first few minutes their con-
versation was devoid of sensation and
Ackman was not suspicious of his COM
panion. He was taken completely by
surprise when the stranger drew a pis-
toll from his pocket and pointed the
weapon at him.
Ackman, jumping to the conclusion
that he was harboring an ordinary rob-
Der, took his purse from his pocket and
offered it to the man.
II don't want your money; I want
your life," said the stranger, coldly,
lingering the revolver menacingly.
Ackman confesses that he was badly
scared, but his thoughts were nimble
for all that He summoned all his res
olution and began description of his
home. He grew eloquent over the love
and gentleness, the beauty and sweet
ness of his wife. His voice grew husky
and his eyes were moist as he told of
the little boy, crowned with sunny
curls, who toddled to meet him, lisping
papa"
No one who did not know Ackman
would have believed him a bachelor
after hearing this highly emotional dis
course on his beautiful home"

TY COBB SAYS YOU MUST
TAKE CHANCES TO WIN
DETROIT'S GREAT FIELDER DE.
CLARES PLAYER WILL HELP
HIS TEAM If HE GRASPS
EVERY OPPORTUNITY.
Ry IY COBB.

copyright, 1910, by Joseph B. Bowles)
Taking chances at all times, taking
every reasonable chance, and some
that do not seem even reasonable, is
the way think player wins games.
If he has speed, and courage, and con-
fidence, and then takes the chances,
seizes every opening and runs hard
and slides harder, he will help his
team win.
Sometimes 1t seems to me that one
ball player is better than another, sim
ply because he has more nervous en-
ergy and what we call "guts," than
another. Nowadays the teams are so
closely matched and the men so near
ly equal in ability, that the team to
win must have some method. or some
skilful leader, and then something
to keep 1t hustling and fighting all the
time.
If this is meant for advice to young
players, just tell them that they must
hustle every minute, forget them
selves and dig for runs. l know that
when ! get into a ball game all l
think of is to win that game and get
around the bases. I can't see or hear
the crowd, and every opposing player
is my enemy, no matter how good
friends they may be off the ball field.
l think that is the way ball player
must feel to win He must forget him
self, forget everything, and go after
that game with every bit of strength
and speed he has, not loafing min
ute, and taking every chance possible.
He must run out every ball he hits.
AS for batting, that is more or less
natural ability and determination. A
man may improve his hitting by
steady practise, but | doubt whether
a man can be taught to hit. l think
tho secret of hitting is not to be
afraid of injury and not to pull" at
all. There are lots of batters who
pull, that is, draw back slightly from
the plate when the ball is pitched, and
lose the force of their swing. In most
cases these batters are as fearless as

Tracy Family

The variations of this name are
TRACT, Tracie, Tracye, Tresse and
Traisy, with "de" before the name in
all early records.
Tracy and Tracey are perhaps the
only forms at the present day.
With Wooden the first ancestor Of
the family, according to some authori-
ties, the Traceys have much to live
up to, especially when we find such
family names all along the line as
Beldeg Git is hoped that this name is
familiar to you), Cerdic, the first king
of the West Saxons, Chewald and AL
fred the Great.
According to other authorities, AL
fred the Great and the worthless just
named are not responsible in any way
for the Tracy, who are famous Nor
man family, taking their name from
Traci-Boccage, place in Caen, called
In the eleventh century Traceium."
They went over to England with the
Conqueror and were known as de Ira
els, and later de Tracy, the 'de" being
dropped about 1850. In Battle abbey
roll is the name of the Conqueror's
companion in arms-William de TRACT,
of the castle and barony Of TRACT, Nor
mandy. The Tracys became lords of
Barnstaple in Devon and we find many
parishes named for them; Wolcombe-
Tracy and Bradford-Tracy, for ex-
ample. In Kent the family was known
as Tresse.
The male line of Tracys becoming
extinct in Devon, the name was as
sumed by son Of Grace, daughter of
Henry de Tracy, feudal lord of Sudley,
lineal descendant of Egbert, the first
Anglo-Saxon king of all England. This
son of Grace became known as Will
liam de TRACT.
Stairway manor of Tewkesbury alb
hey was seat of the Tracys. The
French philosopher, Claude de Stutt,
Comte de Tracy, Of the eighteenth
century, was "of a noble family Of
Scottish descent, tracing back to Wal
ter Stuff, who accompanied the earl of
Douglas, 1920. to the court of France,
where his family afterwards rose to

hard expression softened a trifle and
to Ackman's great relief he diverted
the muzzle of the revolver to a direc-

harmlessly into the roadside weeds in

He was pursued into an alley by the

Later he told them that he was Roy
Andrews, a former inmate of Pontiac.
He said he had been paroled, but de-
clared that his sole motive in threaten
ing Ackman was to force him to carry
him away from Pontiac as quickly as
possible.
He was given preliminary hearing
before Hampshire justice of the peace
and held to the grand jury on charge
of attempted hold-up.
