TO THROW BOUQUETS

Sports Editor Of The Evening Jour
nal:
Sir: We notice in The Evening
Journal on Tuesday evening under
Union Chatter" that they severely
criticize our team. saying we took
unfair advantage by using Sutton to
twirl. They also stated II Bill Sem
had not broken his arm we would
have been held scorelss. Anyone
who saw the game will agree with
us that this is untrue as we had tied
the score and had two men on when
the accident happened. Immediate
ly Mr.. Weldin protested. Emmanuel
could have claimed the game then
as Union left the field. but as we
have always played clean baseball,
we gave Weldin plenty Of time to
place his men.
As for Emmanuel getting thrown
out OF the league. we will call TO Mr..
Weldin's attention the statement he
made to the Scott manager, Mr..
Wright Those who live in glass
houses plant-juice. should not
throw stones at others" Did Scott

a large bronze eagle. He has been
there since the building was re-

to-day n couple Of minutes past noon,
this bir,. of freedom let out a scream
that could be heard for quarter Of
mile.
Fifth Avenue and 23d Street were
crowded and the shrill, prolonged cry
set every one running toward the
bank. Traffic cops quit directing
traffic and with artillery ready for
action made break for the bank.
Some persons on the street wanted
to be there when the shooting took
place and others made for the subway
entrances. Everybody intuitively
knew that the scream of the eagle
had been caused by an effort on the
part OF someone 10 rob the bank.
What else, they flgurcd would cause

in the attempt to rob the First Ma
tional Bank at Pearl River, Rockland
County, Yesterday noon. Including
detectives employed by District At
torney Morton f. Lexow. there ar.
more than twenty detectives directly
engaged on the case.
The best clue leads 10 the vicinity
Of Paterson. 1t has been established
t1at the bandits escaped in an almost
new Ford car. and that they rode out
Of the town to the nor-h while the
first posse was on a false trail after
another Ford car to the south. A
close check-up to-day shows that the
tandits circled TO the west after they
were clear OF Pearl River and then
worked TO the southwark. One hour
after the murder they were fourteen
miles southwest of Pearl River and
on the turnpike leading to Paterson.
Witnesses say that one OF the
bandits was shot through the right
arm. Hospitals and doctors in New
