CATCH CRIME CAR
AFTER LONG CHASE
Where Police and Detectives
Fail, Studebaker Service
Plan Succeeds

After a highly adventurous month
during which il had left across five
states, according To Little Rock, Ark,
officers, a trail OF grand and petty
larceny, jumped board bills and
cracked safes, a stolen Studebaker
automobile has been returned TO its
owner, and the three men who were
It's passengers are now In custody.
The car was stolen in Atlanta and
recovered in Little Rock. Though POI
lice and private detectives had thor
oughly combed the entire South AT.
lantic section for II. the recovery
came about through the efficient
method by which the Studebaker SER
vice department traces stolen auto
mobiles, through the medium OF its
field organization.
AS a touring exploit, the dash
across the central south stands prob
ably in class by itself
Realizing that efforts were undoubt-
eddy In progress TO recover the car,
its crew made the entire trip OF near
ly 500 miles by unfrequented routes.
and largely by night
Not until the Mississippi was
crossed did they relax their vigilance.
AT Little Rock, however. they gar
aged their car at the Polk Motor Co. s
place OF business. and registered at a
leading hotel.
Mr.. Polk noted Immediately that
sandpaper had been used to obliterate
someone's initials on the door panels.
His suspicious aroused, he looked for
the distinguishing marks and COM
pared them with his Studebaker
stolen carr correspondence. The
idenSfcation was complete. He in
formed the police, the men were ar
rested, and A. III. Sterne. owner OF
the car, was notified. He arrived the
next day and identified his property
which, he noted, was in good condi-
ton and carried considerable added
equipment which he believes had been
filched along the way
"A swell car and we're sorry TO
lose IT," remarked Richard Kinney
brook, leader OF the party and a man
with long criminal record. 1.-THE
best motor ever built or IL would
never have gotten us through. Use
1t kindly for my sake" he told Mr..
Sterne.

Oldest Man In Baseball
NeUer SQU Si1Qle Game

For % years David Riblet has been
present at every game in Cleveland's
baseball park and he has yet to see
his first game. He is undoubtedly the
oldest man in the world connected
with baseball.
For % years David has been on
terms of such close intimacy with
stars OF the diamond that they have
called him dad" and Uncle" but
David refers to the stars as Mr."
That's how much of q fan David Is.
If Riblet lives until March ID, he
will be 80 years old. And he is still
hale and hearty enough 10 go down
town alone and unsupported even by
cane.
For the past four years David has
been the Waterman in the club rooms
OF the Maps.
Il can always tell when the play
ers come into the club house after
game whether they have won or lost"
says David. II can see how the game
came out by looking at their faces.
When they smile l ask the score.
