Dodgers Got Worst of the GinCipnati Dea

THE fact is being impressed almost
 daily on Brooklyn fans that the Dodgers got anything but the better of the deal which sent Herbie Moran and Earl Yingling to the Reds and made Dick Egan a Dodger. The work Of Moran in right field compares favor ably with that of any rival he has in the National leaguese and moreover he is batting hard and consistently. In Redland they have forgotten there ever was a player by the name of Bescher. Moran easily being the favor ite out gardener of the team and con- sidered as good as has sported Cincy livery in years.

Moakley was a good half mile runner and did two minutes one second in the days when all the two minute half miIers in the country could be counted on the fingers of one hand Long distance walking was popular in those days. and Moakley had a record of seven minutes twenty five seconds for the mile and twenty four minutes for the three miles. AL though his speciality was middle dis tsnce running, Moazley was pretty much of an all around athlete. Tn fact he won prizes at every distance from 100 yards to six miles cross country and even took a try at hurdle racing and broad jumping.

For speed swimming the side stroke is quite obsolete, and it is likely that the trudgeon will be. too. as soon as our racing men become better ac- quainted with the crawl. but for orcii-. nary purposes both strokes will prove satisfactory. They are based on the same principles. and the only differ. ence. between them is that in the side the underarm is kept submerged on the recovery as it travels forward from the finish to the full reach instead Of sweeping above water as in the trudg- con. and the body is held steady. with

Sheriff Lund thinks the guilty pair
will be under arrest soon.
Peterson, the driver, was approached
by the couple Tuesday and made an
agreement to drive them to Mooriand.

point Of a gun. the driver was forceH
to relinquish the wheel and submit 10

/ Peterson managed to free himself
from the ropes and ran to Calender
with the news. An automobile party
started out Immediately in pursuit.
Following the trail Of the couple thru
Moorland to point two miles farther
west. near the Mike Welsh farm, they
saw the car ahead and stopped. They
also saw the woman step into pair
of overalls and with her companion
dodge into cornfeld.
Pursuers Turn Back.
The men An the pursuing car did not
give chase as they had no guns. Turn
ing their car they went back to secure
guns and arouse farmers. They then
returned to the spot where the car was
abandoned. BY this time Sheriff Lund
had arrived from Fort Dodge and sixty
farmers had gathered. They were or
gained into squads and the cornfield.

forty miles and expects to land tho

When, the car was found by the
roadside the word Livery" which was
painted on the wind shield, had been
erased with acid. This bears out the
theory that the robbery had been pre-
arranged. Another fact which further
bears out the theory is the man first
tried to persuade Knutson to drive
them to Moorland thinking no doubt he
would have more money on his per-
son. - it'

The cause of the double crime cons
