Eager For Season To Start

TEW YORK Feb I6.-Benny
NJ Raun has returned TO Broad
L y way
He is spending the tail end Of the off
season in New York. waiting for the
time when John McGraw viii give the
Giants the sign TO hike for Marlin and
the spring training stunts which VIII
iron out the kinks of a long winter.
There is no change in Benny. He is
the same frank. cheerful little person
that baseball fans have known since
the advent Of the Federal league, and
he is just as optimistic as ever.
But Benny isn't running wild with
the optimistic stuff Fact is, he has
never been inclined TO overdO the thing
He was simply misQuOted and misrep-
resented when he entered the ranks OF
National leaguers as a member of the
Giants. And the result was that too
much was expected OF him by the
baseball public.
There was no use for Kauff to at
tempt to defend himself against mis-
representations The only way he had
open was through the medium Of his
willow bat. and because he found the
pitching tricky in the National
league the fans called him a bloOmer-
Last season Kauff failed TO break
into the 300 class. He was handi-
capped with the knowledge that
the baseball public expected won
derful things of him. and he WIS
over anxious. But the long months
OF winter have had their effect in
wearing out the comment about
Benny, and he expects TO start the
season of 1917 under vastly differ
ent conditions.

ON TRAIL
OF BOLD
BURGLAR

A series of bold robberies Sun
day night, in which a lone bur-
glar entered three rooms of a
hotel while the occupants were
asleep and took all the money to
be found, has aroused the police
to a concerted search for the
criminal.
The rooms of F. Stenschlun,
Albert Lind and A. S. Diedricksen,
adjoining each other in the Bos-
ton hotel, 1913 Pacific ave., were
burglarized.
While Stenschlun slept soundly,
the thief extracted $14 from be-
meath his pillow. Lind awoke
Monday morning to learn that
the same thief had slit open a pill
low slip upon which his head
rested, and had taken 81 which
he had hidden there. Diedrick-
sens trousers were searched, the
pockets turned wrong side out,
and $3.50 taken.
The thief left no clues in any
of the rooms. He evidently used
duplicate keys for unlocking the
doors.

SIREN MAY
CALL FIREMEN

In case of serious fires in Ia

siren may sound the alarm for
firemen who are absent from fire
stations under the two-platoon
system.
Commissioner Petit said Mon
day that he would endeavor to
make arrangements with the T. r..
Il p. company or the. Tacoma
Steam Heating Co. for connec-
lions between their steam sirens
and the fire alarm system.
The siren would only sound
for a second alarm, and not un-
less extra firemen were badly
needed
Several years ago the T. r. &
p. siren sounded all fire alarms In
Tacoma, but 1t was disconnected
because many persons complained
of the noise. u

TRY TO STOP
AUTO THEFTS

In the hope of diminishing the
ever-increasing epidemic of auto
mobile thefts in Tacoma, Detect
i've Capt. Strickland prepared an
ordinance for garage inspection
Monday, which the council will be
asked to pass.
According to the new ordinance,
which is similar to one in effect Al
Chicago, all garages must keep on
file complete record of every
automobile bought and sold, to-
gether with records of every ma
chine left for storage or repairs.
BY this check, the police expect
to be able to locate quickly many
stolen cars, and to apprehend the
thieves. An average OF three au-
tomobiles are stolen in Tacoma
every "a hours.
