CHARGED WITH A THEFT
Ernest Wererem0nt, Aged Sixteen, Ac
cused of Stealing Bicycle Owned
BY Wendell Deuser

the municipal court this morning on
the charge of petit larceny preferred
by Wendell Deuser, who claims that

day evening, and when the owner
started for home his wheel was
gone He reported the theft to the
police yesterday and gave a descrip-
ton of his bicycle. Not long after
having notified the police, he saw a
boy riding his wheel, and reported
this also. Yesterday afternoon Offi-
Ger Alfred B. Johnson, supplied with
description of the boy and the
wheel, saw Ernest Wernemont rid
I ing on North Front street. He fol
lowed at a walk and as the boy
stopped several times, he finally
overlook him and demanded the
wheel, and placed young Wernemont
under arrest. At first the boy de.
MED taking the bicycle, and said
that he had bought it, but later he
acknowledged taking the wheel, but
said that he found it near the 10y
ola club house, and simply rode ii
home, thinking someone had forgot
ten it. He said that this was quite
late Monday evening, and when the
arrest was made yesterday, the boy
iclaimed that he was bringing the
vehicle to the police station to re
port that he had found it.
Young Wernemont is sixteen years
old and is the son of Mr.. and Mrs
Nicholas Wernemont, who reside al
1906 North Fourth street. He has
been in court before, once on the
charge of assaulting another boy
and has been paroled. He is no

Pool Hall Owners Be Tossed
Out of Court
rom Wednesdays Daily.

The case of the City against JOS
eph Shama and Naiff Aldo, who are

ter under advisement and the case
was continued until June at 2 p.
m. Mr. Daley moved that the case
be dismissed on the grounds that
the complaint did not state acts suf-
ficient to constitute a public or Grim,
inal offense that the subject and
title of the ordinance did not men

eighteen is a minor, and that the
ordinance puts this age limit at

Evidence was offered by Fred u
Carlson, who was observed by Off
/ Ger John r. Albrecht playing poo
/; in the pool hall owned by Aldo ant
Shama, by Albert Johnson who was
playing pool with him and by Off
ieer Albrecht. Mr. Carlson says that
no questions regarding his age were
asked when he paid for the games
or at any other time, and Mr.. John
4 son corroborated this statement. OF
/ ficer Albrecht said that he had ask
ed the boy his age, and when thi:
was given as ninteen. he ordered
the boy to stop playing, and to ap
pear in court the next day.

NEW Y0RK-Jeff Tesreau, of the
Giants, is going Out after the iron
man" championship in 1913, and Ed
Walsh. of the Chicago White Sox, who
has held the title for years, will have
to work harder than ever or be con.
tent with second place. -
Season after season the Big Reel
of the White Sox entourange has toll
ed through greater number of rounds
than any other pitcher in the game.
But MeGraw thinks Tesreau's chances
of beating Walsh's record this year
are good. -.r-
Tesreau Can Go Some ...
81 don't believe that Walsh or any
man that ever pitched can handle
more games in a season than Tesreau
can" states Mcdraw, and still re-
main effective. He was a recruit last
season and was not used as regular
until good part OF the schedule had
been finished. When called on him
in a tight part of the race be was
good for every day, and the more ]
worked him the better he went. be-
lieye this next year that could push
ulln IaIO SlAty 6dMco VI AuolO anu
find him better than IL only used
him in his turn-every fourth day.
Barring accidents, Tesreau will pitch
more games than any man in his
league and will be close to Walsh In
this respect, If not beyond him. And
unless I cut in with q bad guess, bet
ter than two-thirds Of the crop will
be on the winning side of the count" "
Has Responded BeforeN*
This listens like reasonable, dope.
Last fall, after a busy month through
August, where he was worked to a
finish, Tesreau. started early in Sep
TENDER when the Cubs were pressing
closely, and startled, the natives by
working five games in nine days, win
ming all five and winding up with a
shutout. He was better as he went
along and, only lost his stride again
when given a rest.
Tesreau, with his vast expanse OF
system, belongs to the type which
must work beyond the average to keep
at top speed and to retain his con-
troll.

When the right arm is pulling the
legs take three beats left-right-left
and three more when the left arm
pulls, spacing right-left-right. Here
You have net only synehronous and

apportioned So as to give the greater
number--two to one--when the oppo.
site arm Is propeiling. This six-beat
drive consider, therefore, more eff.
fective than the foGrzbeat one, which,
while dividing equally the effort, does
not allow theSlegs to counteract the
swing of the body forced upon it by
the arms. 60
Another thing that instructors
don't pay enough attention to is the
slant of the body. A great many
swimmers, and particularly sprinters,
hold. the shoulders and head too low.
The principle of ahydroplaning should
be carefully studied. 1t gives valu-
able hints. The faster a man moves
In the water the more slant h. should
show. The continuity of the crawl
leg thrash affords far greater facility
for planning than did the scissor kick"

The game last Saturday night, when

was good one, and both teams put
up stiff fight. The Highs had one
big advantage in that they were play
ing two All-Star men. The next game
with the high school on Saturday
night OF this week will be more ex-
citing, if possible, than the last one.
as the two All-Star men win not be
playing. their positions being taken
by regular school players. The prae-
tice which both teams are getting dur.
ing the week should put them on edge
and there Is no doubt but that the
game will be fast and snappy
The week after next, however, will
come the game that the College team
Is looking forward to. The Cabs are
fast, the team being composed OF
players with much more expeflenea

the street in search OF a photo
grapher.
Half way down the block he saw a
bunch of artificial flowers made OF
feathers and promptly bought out the
entire stock. The IDEAS he explain.
ed in a gust of enthusiasm-had pop
ped into his head of buying, a. long
Prince Albert coat and growing a Van
Dyke beard; then he, would wear a
different color artificial flower in his
buttonhole every day.
Before he had got home he had
conceived the idea for disposing of
the fortune he would win when he de-
feated Palzer He said he intended
to buy a place back of Venice and
build an enormous barn to house his
amateur .nienagerie. He was so
worked up over the idea that he had
to rush away at once to ascertain the
price of the place! He was -favorably
received, but the man =. next door,
whose place he also needed for his
scheme would not sell. /
Thereupon he invented an elaborate
scheme to force the rebel property
owner into submission. He said he
would build a big barn very close to the
mans house. In this barn he planned
to place four or five broncos of vio-
lent disposition. He said they would
kick and bite and scream all night
long and the man would be glad to
sell to him in a short time.
Then something else came into his
head and the notion was dropped,
never to be taken up again.

Oakland Takes FIRST Game of Inter association Series by the
Marrow Margin of rs PinS-LoCaIs Roll Two Good Games
and Then Blow in the Final String-HuSted Too Much
to Be Capable of Good Rolling

There Is a possible explanation to
the cratic scoring, and that Is that
he locals were rolling too fast. With
only five men, using two skids, each
mans turn is apt to come up without
much intcrmissiOn, and as the locals
have been used to taking their time
in tom nament play, and Ginning be-
tween times. the slan-bang program
of. last night might we'll have thrown
them eff. The next game will either
be rolled on a single alley, or else the
players will be coached to be more
deliberate. The way that some Of
the usually sure shots were blow
ing" easy spares in the final game
indicated that there was something
radically wrong with them, and the
rush theory is plausible.

AYEW YoRK.-A type of crawl

has been evolved by Fred Culman Of
Columbia University. one of the most
progressive students Of the principles

has the faculty or being able to dis
sect and analyze the many factors
that must be considered In the pro.
duction Of speed and endurance in the
water He says; III -.
81 believe that the next few years
viii bring great improvements in the
swimming stroke. 1t must be evident
to, any one who watches closely the
work of even our best racing men
that the muscular effort is not equally
distributed, or applied, rather, in the
different styles of trudgeon and crawl
now obtaining In the trudgeon the
leg drive is taken with the finish Of
the upper arm and the. legs trail in
ert while the under arm pulls. !.
"In the crawl the. great majority
accentuate the thrash on one side or
the other, and in both strokes the
body does not travel on an even keel,
breath being taken right or left and
the opposite shoulder being submerg-
ed more. 80 7s.assi -~.-. 4.
lam OF the opinion that to estab-
fish the proper rhythm which is neces-
sary to attain best results there must
be perfect balance Of action. Hence
think swimmers will not reach the
limit Of possibility until they have
adopted a stroke in which the forces
of, propulsion work at identical an
giles toward the center line of pro-
gression.5 T. s.
81 have worked out in theory the
movements that think will bring us
closer TO the object in view, but. Of
course, they are based on the princi-
pies now accepted, which may change
any day, for the whole problem Of
swimming has yet to be solved.
The arm aciionthaS been ablyrde-
veloped, and the long reach, with ell
bow lifted ana hand slightly speoned,
seems most effective, but I believe
the body should roll to the same,
pitch on eithersidei and the shoulders
dip evenly. This could easily be done
by breathing on both sides and so at
tanning uniformity. To those who OPP
