COURT
Youths Admit Joyriding in Stolen
Machines, but Declares 9th
ers Took Them.

Revelations of the methods of
what is believed by the police to
be an organized band of automo-
bile thieves came Friday after
noon in Judge Broyles' court
when three members of the sup
posed band were arraigned for
operating automobiles without
the consent of the owners.
The three young men are Henry
Hambrick, II years old, No. 80 Pat
terson avenue; Charles Nash, 10
years old. No. IL Pittman place, and
Joseph Thurmond, aged II, No. 16
Pittman place. All three were bound
over under bonds OF $500 each, the
first two on the specific charge of
having stolen the machine owned by
Arnold Broyles, Clerk of the Superior
Court, from in front of the court
house, and the last named for the
theft of the car of T. o. Poole, No. So
South Forsyth street.
Other Arrests Near.
The men admitted in both cases
having ridden in the cars with which
they are charged as having stolen,
but declared that the machines had
been stolen by other men. They pro-
fessed 10y riding" as their only use
for the machines.
The names of others of the joy
riding syndicate have been given over
to the police and their arrests are
expected momentarily.
From the investigations Of detect
ives of the city force, which followed
the long list of stolen automobiles
reported to the police. the alleged
gang made its headquarters in Mari
eta street near Five Points. From
this lookout, 1t is declared, they car
ried on their operations. Hambrick,
Nash and Thurmond were taken into
custody at that point. According to
the alleged confession of one to De-
tective Harper, the trio was prepar-
ing at the time to venture on a joy
ride.
Operated on Pure Nerve.
The method used in the theft of
machines by the gang, the detectives
declared, required principally pure
nerve. AS a rule, only one of the
band would approach the machine,
and without looking to left or right,
mount to the seat and drive off. Ex-
pert automobile mechanics are said
to compose the majority Of the gang.
After a speedy escape from the
scene of the theft, the driver would
pick up a number Of his associates at
d prearranged meeting place and the
Joy ride would follow. Seldom, if
ever, did the band trouble themselves
to disguise the machine or change its
license number.

CHIEF CUMMINGS
WARNSOF FIRE
DANGERS
Points Out Need Of More Caution
by Atlanta Citizens in
Winter.

In an effort to prevent the many
fires that imperil Atlanta homes in
the winter, Fire Chief Cummings, in
his annual report, will commend to
the City Council the enactment Of
an ordinance to Danish Single roofs
from the city.
Chief Cummings Friday morning
declared that fully 60 per cent Of At
lanta's fires are due to old, dilapi-
dated shingle roofs, which furnish
ready fuel for any spark that may
chance to fall on them.
The Chief is confident that the
elimination of the shingle roof will
mean a wonderful decrease in the
number of fires and thereby relieve
the city of this constant menace.
Shingle roofs already are prohtb-
tied within the fire limits, but Chief
Cummings said very few residences
are to be found in this district. Res
licences, he said, furnish the shingle-
roof peril, and the great majority of
these lie without the fire limits.
Wants Fireproof Roofs.
1t is the Chiefs idea to supplant
the shingle roof with slate, tin or any
other -inflammable material. A
strong fight will be made to get this
ordinance through the City Council in
the first part of the year
Should this plan be incorporated
into law, It will mean that Just as
soon as a shingle roof becomes dilap-
idated or is in such condition as to
be a menace it must be torn away
and a firep- If roof substituted. All
new houses constructed after the law
went into effect would be provided
with fireproof roofing Chief Cum
mings figures that within a compare
lively short time all homes in the city
would have fireproof coverings.
This would reduce the danger of
fire to a minimum" said Chief Cum
mings.
Warning 10 Issued.
"Other large cities have done away
with shingle roofs and thereby en-
HANGED the safety of their homes, and
there is no reason why Atlanta should
not do it. We have hundreds of old
shingle roofs In Atlanta, and they
stand as a constant peril. Whenever
sparks fall on them the old shingles
become ignited and we have a Are,
sometimes a disastrous fire. These
shingle roofs form one Of the great
est causes of fire we have in Allan
ia, and as a matter Of self protec-
ton we should move in this matter at
once"

Practiced With Team Yester-
I. day and Should Easily
Make Good.

Jim Tormey, who injured his knee dur
ing the foot ball season last fall. was out
yesterday for the Georgetown base ball
team. Because of the wretched showing
made by the team against Virginia Sat
urday Tormey has decided to go out and
give the team the best there is in him
showing in the remaining games on the
hilltop schedule. In Tormey GeorgetoWn
has one of the best athletes seen at the
school in a great number OF years. He
would have easily made position on the
foot ball team last fall but for an In
jury he received to his right knee while
in scrimmage. This same injury kept
him out of basket ball, where he would
have found but little difficulty in max
ing the quint. He believed that by giving
the injured knee an opportunity to rest
it would be In shape for base ball,
but when he tried to use the knee In
the early practice he found that 1t was
still too weak. However, since then
he has been to see the Washington club S
physician, who made for him brace
similar to the one used by John Henry
Tormey now believes that with this
brace he will be able to play without
being handicapped in the least. With this
lad in the lineup the team will be great
ly strengthened. as he is hitter of more
than ordinary ability. Last season he
captained the Dean Academy nine OF
Franklin, Mass. leading prep school OF
New England. and led the team In bat
ting While it is doubtful If this lad will
be in shape for the games here the latter
part of this week, still the indications are
that he will be in tiptop shape for the
Virginia games. which take place one
week from today

by Georgetown and asked for more
money. Realizing that the game here
Thanksgiving day would be no more than
an experiment. Manager Barrett OF the
Blue and gray team sent word to the
Worcester collegians that he could not
afford to pay them any greater guaran-
tee and that he would be more than will
ing to book the Purple team here Thanks
giving day. Manager Faherty Of the Holy
Cross team, it is understood, wrote back
a letter stating that unless Georgetown
could afford to pay him the guarantee de-
manded he would be unable to bring his
team here Manager Barrett finally de-
cided to call the game Off. because he was
unable to meet the demands of the
Worcester collegians.
| 1t is going to be mighty hard work on
| the part of Manager Barrett to book a
game here for next THANKSGIVING day.
| All of the larger schools have at this
time of the year practically decided upon
their schedules for next fall.

field for the Maryland Aggies, was shifted
to first base two weeks ago. At first he
did not show very well on the bag, but
ne has been coming fast, until now he is
as good as any college first baseman In
the section, with one possible exception.
He takes thrown balls anywhere. has a
long reach and handles himself better
than many who have been playing the
bag a longer time. Morris has not yet
become accustomed to fielding ground
balls as we'll as he will with a little more
work. but he is fast improving in that
particular Morris general adaptability
to anything in the athletic line is making
it rather easy for him to learn to play
the initial sack.
1t is fairly certain that Brewer. who
has been doing a lot in athletics at West
ern High during the present scholastic
year. will not be at the Red and White
institution next fall. He will probably
enter Exeter next fall.
Western will lose a mighty capable
youngster if Brewer does go to Exeter.
He was one of the fastest runners on the
relay team during the past winter. and
has proved himself very capable as a
member of the base ball team. SO capable.
I'm fact, that he will undoubtedly be the
mainstay OF the team In the school series.
Brewer also has the reputation of being
a good foot ball player. He was ineligible
for the team last fall because of the rule
that does not allow freshmen to compete
in athletics during their first term i'll
school.
1t is a rather remarkable fact that the
only two defeats the Navy has sustained
this year have been received from minor
schools = Maryland Agricultural College
and ST. Johns. In the first contest Of the
season the Aggies handed the Sailors a
3-to-2 beating, and Saturday st. John S

two games the Middies shut out Cornell.

he formerly did. His old cunning,
though, should come back. and those
batsmen who are thinking they are go

the chiefs expense this year may have
a rude awakening. AT the present time,
however. Bender is not formidable
as he was in the past.
= Only Temporary.
This condition should be only tenn
porary, but while it lasts it is a source
of worry to Manager Mack. the players
and the fans. Coombs Is too ill to give
his usual service to the club at present.
Jack is suffering from severe cold
which. from all reports. is not yielding
rapidly to treatment If he was in
good health he would be a tower of
strength to the twirling department al
the present time.
AS it is it looks as if the team would
have to fight along without his services
for considerable period.
1t is. therefore, up to Mack's young
sters to hold the team in the thick Of the
fray for a period. Connie has gathered
together a good crop of Juvenile mound
artists. The situation presents grand
opportunity for them to make good. And
right here it may be said that any pitch

esen Has Best Chance for School TeTWo College Games To-day
WAGNER'S HURT MAY
RETIRE HIM FOREVER

BOSTON, April 2.-Base ball
fans the country over need not be
surprised if Honus Wagner, the
Pirates great shortstop. is out of
the game for some months. The
statement is made here on the best
of authority that a floating carti-
lage in the knee is responsible for
Wagner's absence from the team.
The real nature of the trouble
was revealed only after a careful
examination last week, and in the
course of a few days Wagner will
so to New York, where at the
Pittsburgh clubs expense special
ist will operate upon the knee
The success of the operation is at
best problematical. If it turns out
as we'll as is hoped Wagner may
be able to get back into the game
by the first of August. If 1t fasis'
the chances are that the Pitts
burgh club and base ball will nave
lost for all time the greatest play
er the game has known.
