FORD THROWN into.
SAND PIT PROPERTY.
OF Ia NOBLE MAN
OWNER IDENTIFIES REMNANT OF |
CAR STOLEN AT STARVED |
ROCK LAST THURSDAY, THEN
HURLED INTO WATER AT
SOUTH SIDE SILICA WORKS.

The body of the Ford automobile
found in the pit at the Standard Silica
Sand Works, was positively Identified
late yesterday as the Ford car stolen
from Ralph Tellkamp, OF La Moillc,
at the Starved Rock State Park last
Thursday. A wire from the secretary
of states Office informed the La Sale
county authorities that the number
removed from the submerged car was
the number issued to Mr.. Tellkamp
for his Ford touring car.
The theft OF the car and its destruc-
ton will be a complete loss to Mr.
Tellkamp. as he did not carry cent
of insurance on the auto.
The sheriff's Office today started
searching for the thieves. working on
the theory that the auto was stolen
and driven from the State park. that
the body was removed at the sand pit,
and carried by four men to the edge
of the pit, where it was tossed into
the water fifty feet below.
Only the body of the car has been
located as yet, and the officers are IN
clined to believe that the chassis was
never thrown into the water
The car was on the free parking
space at the state Park at 1920 when
MIR. Tellkamp, and another man and
two girls who had motored to the
park. left the dance hall and went
down there The girls saw that thelr
coats were in the auto at that time.
The party rested fora few minutes
and then went to the dance hail'
where they remained until the close
Of the dance. Then returned TO the
place where they had parked the auto
and found it gone.
Mr.. Tellkamp. reported the matter
to the park custodian, who in turn re-
ported it to Deputy Sheriff FRED j.
Stedman, whose orchestra had Deen
playing for the dance. Tie trio MADE
certain that the car was not on the
mark grounds, and then left for thell
! homes. No trace of the auto was foand
until it was unearthed by three otta
wa bows who were swimming Ill the
| pit on Monday.
| Deputy Sheriff Frank Frazier mas
made a careful search around the pi
edge, and is unable to find any tracks
where a car has passed around there
! The spot where the auto was iouht
| is about 100 feet from the road, and i
up over an incline.
Another theory advanced is that th'
auto was taken by crowd OF 20!
riders. who feared detection afte
driving the auto around, and ran TN
car over the edge of the pit, to get I'll
of it.

ported that they were confident no on

ported that the glass Of the Win'

dav, to visit the pit where his ca
was found, and see if it would /

These investigators say the great

In the country districts we fine
most of our work, said one inVesti

towns usually finds that to arrest Ms
own people is disagreeable work. The

city is glad to see them come in.

There were 4,333 more automobiI
registrations from July 10 to Aug.

during the same time last year thei
is now an average OF $50 a day.

Philadelphia Is tied for first place III
the American Soccer League with Todd
Shipyard representatives. The ship
workers and locals are the only teams
that have been successful IN their Two
games played, and each has the same
number of goals scored against IT,
although the Todd aggregation has one
more goal to its credit.
Todd's last week had picnic with
the Jersey City Celtics, who appear to
have strengthened considerably after
yesterdays game. In the Todd match,
however, their defense was found for
seven goals. The 'shipbuildcrs yesterday
met Harrison. an eleven that was touted
as of championship calibcr.
Harrison lost to 2, but they played
a strong second half game, the same as
in the previous weeks clash with the
New York Field Club. when they tied
the score at . all after the New York
ers had a two goal lead.
In the oher match yesterday the
Jersey City Ccltics, with four new play
crs in the lineup, proved stubborn

the Gothnmites we're hard pressed to
score q 20 victory.

Bill Hollenback, Bert Bell, Izzy Le-

astic about the team. Bert Bell, who
captained the 1919 team that humbled
Delaware 80 to o. had the following to
say: That crowd looked mighty
strong out there today. OF course, you
know it Is early and Delaware was not
the strongest team in the world. How
ever, they looked like our old club did
back in 1919. If they keep it up the
team should prove a stumbling block to
some of the So called big teams
-, Big Bill Hollenback chirped in with
been easy for this years aggregation.
Bud Hopper said, mot n chance"
Bill Stewart. who played center. for
Delaware against Penn in 1910, said
that this years Penn eleven looked as
good to him as the one he played
against.
Coach Darby could not be found after
the game, but Captain Holton. who is
a great friend Of Rex Wray, said that
he believed Penn would have wonder
ful season. THE team certainly looks
strong. That varsity backfield is q
pippin. They all know how to carry
the ball and how to follow their in
reference.
Believe me. know when I say
that the line is strong and powerful.
The team is good one. ! have NO
alibis to offer for our showing. We
are in anything but good shape, need
lighter games for this time Of the sea-
son. However, now that We arc past
the Penn game. I think we will have n
good team. You have to hand it to that
crowd Of ours
