POLICEMAN is
SHOT BY THUG
KOkomO officer Surprises
Burglar in Store and
Duel Results

KOKOMO, Ind, Dec. 16-Bart Amos,
yeteran merchant policeman, was shot and
seriously injured early today in a re-
volver battle with robber caught loot
ing the Rapp department store. The
robber escaped after an exchange of
shots with Amos and the watchman's
son, who was on duty with him. A heavy
caliber bullet lodged under Amos left
collar bone, but his chances Of recOy-
cry were believed good.
Police throughout the State were noti-
fed to watch for John Pullen, 26, wanted
in connection with the shooting. A coat
identified as Pullen's, who is said to be
out on parole from the Jacksonville
Reforrnatory, where he was sent in 1916
was left behind by the robber. The wa
ter works company'S Office, adjoining
the Rapp store, also was robbed.
Following the shooting Of q police
man by a burglar at KokomO, the In
dianapolis police today were asked to
search for John Pullen, ex-cOnvict, who,
the KOkomo police allege, fired the shot.
Sergeant Benson Of KOkOmo telephOned
the Indianapolis department that Pullen
IS believed to have escaped in an auto
mobile at a. N. He said Pullen was
sent to the Jeffersonville reformatOry in
1915, and that he was later paroled to
Chicago. Pullen had not lived at KOkomo
since leaving the refOrmatory. He had
been arrested a number Of times, the
KokomO police say. Pullen is 90 years
old

the Big Four have to hustle to find
places on the annual all-star team.
In 1921 any one of a dozen football
elevens would welcome chance to
face any or all of the Big -Four, but
back in 1896 II was rather some feat
for any so-called smaller team to do
much against Harvard, Yale, Prince
ton or Pennsylvania. They were tine
~ .cncrized leaders on the football field.
Consider. then what Lafayette did IN
1896.
That year Lafayette played Prince
ton, 0 to 0, and defeated Pennsylvania,
6 to 4. Three times Lafayette wall
loped West Virginia, IS to 0, 6 to O.,
and "a to o. Finally the season was
closed with a victory over the Naval
Academy, Is to 6. Not one defeat
had been sustained. Princeton alone
had prevented Lafayette from scoring
and only Pennsylvania and the Navy
had crossed the Lafayette goal line.
Harvard, quite the most venerable
of the Big Four, had a rough cam

letter Walter Camps words. A team

afternoon as Coach Bezdek began his
preparations for the battle with

from minor injuries. Wilson's great
work seems to have earned him the
regular job at left half.
Bezdek made one shift last night
when he moved Cornwall to fullback

RICKEY SAYS FIFTEEN y
GAMES LOST BY STOCK

CHICAGO, Oct. 24.-Milton Stock,
third baseman of the st. Louis Car
dinals, is about TO have the skids put
under him. Where he is going TO
land is not known at this time, but
Manager Branch Hickey, of the Car
dinals. holds a grievance against Nl-
ton for his failure to report on time
in the spring and is determined to dis
pose of him. All the admiration the
pilot ever had for the infielder is gone
because he charges him with the loss
of the National League championship.
Stock was a hold in the spring.
He wanted more money and would not
don a uniform until the club met ms
terms. Manager Hickey did all in his
power to induce him to come into the
fold but Stock stuck until his demands
were gratified. While he was wran-
Cling over the contract the Cardinals
were without a steady third sacker and
as a consequence many ball games
were lost. Hickey declares that fifteen
were dropped and charges Stocks fail
ure to report to that many defeats.
Add fifteen games to the won col
umn of the Cardinal team and half of
the world series would have been con-
tested in St. Louis. Rickey's team
finished third and was considered the
best in the National League because
of its wonderful offense.

Not So Brilliant.
Centre doesn't seem to be making
the big "hurrah" they did the past
two seasons. The eleven has gone on
steadily winning this fall, but against
mediocre opposition. 1t is doubtful
whether they have encountered the

MATTY GETS CHECK FROM
SUMNER BENEFIT GAME

NEW YORK, Oct. 25.-A check tor

Mathewson, who is fighting tubercu.

was paid by New York baseball fans
at a benefit game for the former
Giant pitcher at the Polo Grounds,

Old-time ball players engaged in d

through subscriptions, rain insurance
and the sale of autographed baseballs,

amount may reach $4,000 through un.
