SPURIOUS PAWN
 TICKET SPINDLE
 IS EXPOSED HERE
Dupe Not Anxious to Press Charge, But Police Lock
 Up Suspect.

Through an accidental meeting on Water street near Fairfield avenue this morning of A. Hatkins of 230 Lighthouse road, New Haven, and a young man who. described himself as Louis Lenti of New York, the police have been appraised of swindle that Lieutenant Edward Cronan of the de- tectfve department believes has been worked by ,Lenti all over the state. Hatkins was in New Britain one day last week and Lenti approached him on the street and asked him if he desired to purchase two pawn tickets, one for a diamond stickpin for $35 and the other for a diamond ring pawned for $22. Hatkins paid him s5 for the two tickets. H
 Coming to this city on business to- day., Hatkins thought he would look up the articles on the ticket, which has supposedly been issued by Gold stein Brothers, licensed pawnbrokers at "A Bank street. He was unable to find any such number as that in the inter- section of Main street
 On his way to the railroad station, Hatkins met Lenti on the street and asked him about the tickets. Lenti protested that they were all right and agreed to take Hatkins to the address. On the way Motorcycle Policeman Robert Hoffman was asked to accom- pany them. When Lenti was unable to show any address corresponding to the one on the tickets, he was taken to headquarters.
 When searched an envelope contain ing large number of slips identical with those which Hatkins had, were found on Lent. He refused to do any talking and was locked up, while the New Britain authorities were apprised of the capture.
 Hatkins stated that he was not over anxious to press the charge on his ovn account as he was willing to risk the chance on the tickets. However, the detective department has received sev- eral queries in the last two weeks from Springfield, Torrington And other places, so that if the New Britain au- thorities do not care to bring charges against him, the Torrington police may want him held.

SIR PERCY SCOTT

Admiral Sir Percy Scott, who was appointed last October to the com- mand of the British defences against German aerial raids, was born sixty three years ago today, July 10, 1858. He entered the naval service just half a century ago, at the age of thirteen, and served in the Ashanti war of 1878, the Congo expedition of 1875. the Egyptian war of 1882, and the South African and China wars, retir- ing from active service three years ago on the day he became full ad- miral. He became a popular hero during the Boer conflict, when he was hailed as '.the man who saved Ladysmith.' Sir Percy was in charge of the naval brigade at the siege of Ladysmith and his big guns kept off the Boers until the garrison could be relieved Many important naval in- ventions stand to his credit, including a device by which all the guns on a ship may be fired by one man when concentrated broadsSdes are called for. Tn 1907 Scott and Lord Charles Beresford engaged in a lively spat, the occasion being Visit of the Ger man Emperor to England. Ecott's cruiser squadron was ordered by Beresford Nto take part in the recep- ton to the Kaiser. Sir Percy was |peevish because this interfered with maneuvers and target practice, and he dgnalled to one of his vessels: Paint work appears to be more in demand than gunnery. so you had better come inside the breaAwater in time to paint your ship and look pret- ty." Si Percy divorced his first wife five years ago, naming pr. Philip Green as correspondent, but married again in 1914. Shortly before the out break of the war Admiral Scott pre- dicted that the. days of the dread nought were numbered, and that the slbmarine would revolutionize naval warfare #78

BLACKSTONE

The. first great commentator on English law was Sir William Black stone, who was born in London 193 years ago today, July 10 1723. AL though Blackstone's name is almost a synonym for law, not only in the Bri- tish Isles but in America and through 'Uut the Anglo-Saxon world, he was himself a failure as a practitioner of the legal profession. The son of a silk mercer, who died before the fu- ture jurist was born, he was left an
 orphan at twelve, and was educated by an uncle. He distinguished him. self at Oxford, where he wrote poetry and a treatise on architecture. and at twenty-two was admitted to the bar. Although far above the average in intellectual ability and knowledge of the law. Blackstone was lacking in eloquence and persuasiveness, and for seven years he eked out the barest ex- istence. At that period he was un- able to earn. enough money to support himself, although his demands were modest and he had no expensive hab- it's He then decided to abandon his profession and devote himself to academic pursuits, but upon his re- turn to Oxford he had already con ceived the plan of the celebrated work which was to make him immortal. His lectues at Oxford soon attracted wide attention, and backed by the re- putation he had thus gained,c he had thus gained, ne again began the practice of law in London, meeting this time with complete success. His lectures were, published in four vol lines undoB the title of -"Commen- taries on the Laws of England i" and this monumental work still exercises a profound influence the world over.

STOCK A FINE ATHLETE

One of the best all round athletes now wearing the major league har- ness is Milton J. Stock, the third base man of the PhiIlies. Aside from the diamond pastime, Stock is bear at half a dozen other sports. Ice skat- ing has few more shining devotees than the Quaker third baseman, and he Is a bear at hockey. As a school kid Stock was an intimate friend of Lamy, later the amateur champion skater. and it is said that in their races Stock was always the victor. In his tender youth Milton was ban boxer of unusual class. and before he took to baseball his ambi- ton was to win a pugilistic title and the laurels and lmazuma that go with it. He is also . crack basketball player.
 Stock belongs to the big town dele gation in big league balldom, having been born in Chicago on July Il, 1893, and he will pass his twenty-third mile- stone tomorrow. He started his base- ball career while a.student at St. Ig- natius college. On the strength of his showing there he landed job five years ago with Fond du Lac club of the Wisconsin Illinois league. He had the bad luck to make his start with bunch of tail-enders, but his work at Fond, du Lac was good enough to attract the attention of the eastern scouts, and he was drafted by the Giants. Early in the 1912 season he was optionally released by New York to Buffalo, and he played shortstop for the Bisons with such neatness and dispatch that in August he was recalled to the big village. Me- Graw decided that he needed further seasoning and sent him to, Mobile in 1913. He played great ball in the Gulf City and there he met the young woman who became Mrs. Stock last December.
 Recalled to the Giants in1 1914 Stock was one of the sensations of the season in the old league. He had al- ways played at short, but McGraw posted him on third, and he covered the position like a veteran and batted like demon during a part of the sea- son, although his average for the sea- son slumped to .263. During the fol- lowing winter he was swapped to the Phillies, along with Demaree and Adams. for Hans Lobert-a deal in which McGraw certainly got the worst of it. Stock didn't get his chance to shine last year until old Bobby Byrne was injured. Moran then put Milton on third and he saved the sit- uation and enabled the Phillies to con the pennant. Stock is a hustler, and although somewhat handicapped by deafness, he is one of the most cap- able infielders in the big show When he thinks of how he swapped Stock and Demaree for Lobert McGraw says (depleted by the censor.)
