Running Board.

Police Officer Frank Zurek of the
South Side police station narrowly
escaped deah early Monday morning
ing when he took an enforced ride
with John Pratt, an employee of a
garage, Twenty-third and NJ streets.
Pratt was crazed with drink and
needless of all danger drove his car
with terrific speed through the
streets of the South Side.
Leaps from Car.
The officer fearing death leaped
from the flying car and sustained
several severe bruises.
Pratt was arrested by Zurek at
Twenty-fourth and ] streets on a
charge of drunkenness. Pratt took
the wheel while the policeman
stood guard on the running board
to guard him. Once at the wheel
Pratt suddenly turned the car to
full speed. The machine hurtled for
ward. Unable to wrestle with the
crazed man for fear he and Pratt
would be killed, Zurek leaped from
the flying car. Pratt continued on
his way with undated speed.
Placed Under Arrest.
With the aid of two other police
men ZuEek finally succeeded in ar
resting Pratt at a garage near
Twenty-third and M streets.
Judge Foster. sitting in the South
Side police court, fined Pratt SIS
and costs on the charge of drunken
ness and speeding.
About two months ago Barney
Royinski, an employee of the same
garage, succeeded in temporarily es-
Gaping arrest by following the same
tactics as were pursued by Pratt.

RED WHEN BOYS
COME FROM WAR
Council Bluffs Plans Great
Reception for Saturday,
\ When Company L
Soldiers Arrive.

Saturday will be the big day, when
Council Bluffs will show the soldier
boys what the home folks think of
them. Company L boys left Camp
Upton Sunday afternoon. A mes
sage from Col. Matt FINLEY to Mrs.
FINLEY. yesterday, filed at Savrc, Pa,
at 1880. said the train was making
fast time and would reach Des
MONIES Wednesday morning. Only
the briefest stay is expected at Camp
Dodge. The boys are expected to
reach Council Bluffs Thursday.
1t will be difficult to hold the boys
long after they arrive here. They
will be too anxious to get to their
homes. 1t was decided last night at
a meeting of the general reception
committee to advance the,date of the
reception to Saturday afternoon, in
stead of waiting until Monday. It
was also realized that the Saturday
half holiday would make it easier for
thousands of working men and Of
flee employees to get away and would
also avoid the necessity of closing
the schools. The program as ORR
ginally outlined will be followed, but
there may be new features.
There will be seven. colonies in
the parade, all men who have won
honors in the line of duty. They
are Colonies Matt FINLEY, Donald
Macrae, E. A. Merritt, Ernest Irons.
G. F. M. Daley, Hugh Gallager and
Fred Test.
Company L Comfort club, while
taking prominent part in Saturdays
festivities, has planned big family
reception for the home boys. 1t will
be held May "a. There will be a
banquet and dance. The banquet
will be the real thing, for all the
goodies will be made by the mothers
and wives of the men. The dance
will be given at Eagles hall.

Ne,U Yorker Scores Heavily
With Left; Fails to Use
Right, and Aps Aggres-
SiUeness Earns Victory
BETTER BOXER LOSES
BY LOUIS II. JAFFF

TT LOOKED as if Dancing Johnny
Murray elected to lick Al Shubert
with his left hand at the Olympia last
night. The chances are that the New
Yorker probably would have accom-
plished such a unique task had he left
his clog stepping shoes in his dressing
room. Wasting entirely too much time
two stepping after connecting with
slashing southpaw slam, the Gotham
gloveman gave the tow headed New
England caveman an opportunity to
close up and administer sufficient pun
ishment to leave the ring a winner.
Murray might just as well have
locked up his right arm back in New
1erk. For the first two rounds the
Dancing One left jabbed, left hooked
and danced. He kept his right hand up
around his chin and didn't use it once.
Then in the third round Johnny evi
dently remembered that he had a glove
on his right mitt for q purpose, let fly
with it--and missed. In the following
rounds Murray used this leather Gov
cred bunch of fives no more than half a
dozen times, but did no damage what
ever with it.
Scores Hard With Left
In the first round, after demonstrat-
| Ing rev new steps In the light ran
tastic art, Murray shot over a short
left hook at close quarters. Shubert al
most sat down. But instead of following
up with his right, or even once more
with his port arm, Murray danced back
and clogged some more. This waste of
precious moments was to Shubert's ad-
vantage. Al rushed in head down, and
failed away at Johnny's body with
both hands. And Murray wasn't very
anxious to swap socks, so he clinched
and held on.
| All of the remaining rounds virtually
were a repetition of the initial inning
Murray hooked hard with his left, daz
ing Shubert at times, but he was
anxious not to have his dancing stunt
fall fiat. SO he backed up. put on few
shuf1es and steps, and in the mean
! time Shubert was able to overcome
| Murray's advantageous portside punch
by landing a whole lot of wallops to
head and body with both mitts.
Murray has a wonderful left-there
isn't very much behind it, still 1t is a
dizzy making wallop. But Johnny must
forget a lot of unnecessary clog hopping
and remember that he is permitted to
use his right, too. If he doesn't Murray
is going to be whipped by lot of men
! like Shubert, whom Murray should bt
able to outlook under ordinary circum'
stances without half trying:

in the third round a light right cross
grazed Bats chin and he took a flop.
Eddie O'Keefe, another local veteran

his feet at the count of three, managed
to last out the round, and put up a
game, aggressive but losing fight in
the remaining rounds.

GERMANTOWNFWE
READY FOR OPENER
Manager Fitzgerald Has Strong
Team to Oppose Trenton
Club Tonight
JACK LAWRENCE AT CENTER

Germantown will witness big league
basketball tonight after an absence of
eight years when the new club under
aid meets Trenton at the Auditorium,
Chew street and Chelten avenue. The
big Eastern League clash is scheduled
to begin at S:45 p. IN. and Dave
Bennis is the power behind the game
in Germantown.
Basketball of major league class is
nothing new to Germantown fans. The
big Five" hailed from that locality
and played prominent role in the
Philadelphia League. When the Eastern
League was started Sixth Regiment
was one of the original teams, but after
couple of games, the club transferred
to Germantown, but due to poor man
agement failed to start the second
season.
The veteran Army" Fitzgerald has
been assigned the job of turning out a
good club, but he is not predicting any
thing like a pennant winner at the
start. Fitz begins the season under a
handicap. Germantown entered the
when Allentown failed to come through.
At that time most of the best players
were all signed by other clubs.
Germantown did have Hough and
Barlow, two of the men that will ap-
pear in the visitors line up. The for
mer was scheduled to manage Allen
town and secured Barlow in a deal
from the All Americans. They would
make one sweet defense for the local
club. but did not want to play here,
preferring to work for AL Cooper in
| Trenton.
The club will center its playing
around the veteran Harry Franckle
Harry was secured for Hough and Bar
low.
At forward is a pair of aggressive
youngsters. One is Bill Black, the bes
developed boy Of the previous year
The latter only shows his true wortl
when pressed hard.
Jack Lawrence, at center, is also ,
player that can be depended upon ant
"Cy" Simindinger is one of those loca
boys who had to go out of town to gail
recognition deserved.
The substitutes are Manager Fitzger
