Cohen and Charles Schleger, serving
terms in the state prison here for high
way robbery, escaped to-day while hid
den in packing case labelled "shoes."
Police for $50 miles aroundsshave been
warned to watch for them.
The box in which they made their
getaway formed part of q shipment of
prison made shoes which was consigned d
to the State Hospital for the Insane, at
Morris Plains. The packing cases were
filled yesterday and nailed up and to-
day were placed in motor truck which
rumbled out through the prison gates
beneath the rifles of guards.
The cases of shoes were flung down
upon the platform of the Pennsylvania
station with resounding crashes which
testified to the workmanship in them,
but must have been disconcerting to
human occupants. Then the prison
van started back and the railroad men
began piling the cases on baggage

The great riders of the past have
come from all sources, but the best of
them have been recruited from the
stables of hOrsemen making a special
ty of developing jockeys. Mclaughlin,
Garrison, Griffin and others of our best
men in the saddle received the rudi-

way. 1t is unusual when d boy ac-
quires skill in any other field, and for
this reason the history of Laverne Fa-

Fator's Craftsmanship assumed a
quality this season that is challenging

This team was built by its mana

players from several teams in the
Middle West. One of the greatest
thinkers on the team was McSorley,
known as Trick" because of his
penchant for Outguessing the Opposi-
ton.
The work of the great battery.
Nolan and Flint, was the outstanding
feature of the play of the Indianapolis
team.
Nolan pitched every day in the

caught in all of these games. To the

BRAINS USEFUL IN FOOTBALL
Thorpe, Tackled by Three Men
After Long End Run.

In football a fellow has greater
chance to use his own noodle than in
any other branch of sport.
There are some instances during the
game where he finds himself left en-
tirely to this own initiative, as is the
case when he is about to execute a
forward pass and finds there is no
one to pass TO. After juggling the ball
and ducking all the interference the
opposing team has thrown his way,
the rest depends on the working of his
bean.

AIibis for Umpires

Umpire Tom Connolly has two
alibis. One is that managers
and players, not umpires, are to
blame for games being long
drawn out, which probably is
correct. His other alibi is that
umpires find il hard TO follow
the ball when overflow crowds
are on the field and thus can't
do good work calling balls and
strikes which players at
least may agree when they fail
to hit the ball.
