Germany simply worked over a play
pulled by Harry Davis in 1902, and
which caused somewhat of a furore

on third. George Mullin was pitching
for Detroit with a recruit soutnpaw
named Lepine of Woonsocket, r. l.,
playing first. Davis ambled to second
without drawing even q pretense of
a throw. Davis was almost as much
feared IN those days as Ty Cobb is at
present. A weak hitter was up. the
run was neeGed badly and prospects
were poor for getting that run by the
prescribed hitting method.

box Davis romped back to first Still

(Newark American Tribune)
Captain Charles Swank unraveled a
mystery yesterday in Chicago that the
local authorities have been trying to
unearth for the past 18 months, when
he apprehended and arrested Dick
Holler, the last of the men indicted by
the special grand jury for alleged
completely In the lynching here on
July s, 1910. With the capture comes
to Capt. Swank the $1,000 reward Of
fered for Holler's capture by the coun-
ty commissioners several months ago.
The captain has been steadily at
work on the case for the past several
months, In fact ever since Holler dis
appeared from this city shortly after
the trouble. Several times he received
information as to thel fugutive's
whereabouts, but whenever an attempt
was made to arrest him 1t seemed
that Holler would intuitively change
locations. At various times he was
reported in, Canada, northern; Michi-
gan, Chicago, Havana, Cuba, New Mex.
leo, Old Mexico, Oregon, in fact he is
alleged to have been in almost every
quaEter of the United States.
About two weeks ago what purport-
ed to be a well-grounded report came
to the captain that the man he was
eanrnt,i,,o fr,,. IN Chsnonn nd
employed in smoothing iron foun-
dry in South Chicago and boarding
with man named Kneeland. This in
formation was written. to the chief of
police in Chicago, and a request made
that every effort be made to locate
Holler, or get some information con-
cerning his whereabouts. This was
readily complied with by the Chicago
police, and Captain Swank was notified
on Sunday afternoon in a letter re-
ceived at police headquarters. The
letter went on to say that Holler had
been at the place designated, but that
he had made change of some kind
but there was still every reason to
believe that he was still in the Windy
City.
This information was impaired to
Chief Blizzard and the common pleas
court officials, with the result that
funds were provided for Swank to
make the trip to Chicago and stay un
til he could get some information and
If possible get Holler.
1t had also been learned that Mrs
Holler had left the city some days ago
and that the three children had been
left here in the care of friend.
Sunday night Swank went to Chica
go prepared to make thorough
search. In so doing he was assured
of the assistance of the Chicago po
lice. When he reached his destination
he went Immediately to police head
quarters and presented his credentials
