HOUSES VISITED
BY THIEVES
ONE SAVES SILVER
ATTORNEY ROGER CLARK IN
TERRUPTS THIEF IN ACT OF
GATHERING UP FAMILY PLATE
WOMAN FINDS MAN IN Llv.
ING ROOM.

Attorney Roger Clark, entered the
kitchen of his home at 402 Z. Van
Buren, street, last night in time to
cause a burglar who was collecting
silverware in his dinning room TO
drop the loot and run. The man,
who had gained admission to the
house presumably by the front door
which was unlocked. fed out the
same portal about 10:l5.
Mrs. Clark and her little daughter
were asleep on the second floor OF
their home at the time, and were not
awakened by the prowler.
Mr.. Clark who had been up town
drove home. and entered his resi-
denc0 by the kitchen door He
placed mis- car in the garage, but did
not close the doors, so his entrance
did not make a great amount Of
noise. In the den at the rear of the
house a light had been left burning
by Mrs. Clark, when she went up
stairs.
The door between the dining
room and the den were closed. Mr.
Clark went from the kitchen directly
to- the basement to fix the furnace
fire. AS he reached the basement.
he heard steps on the dining room
floor. He called out. thinking it was
Mrs Clark. but receiving no answer
ran up stairs.
On his way he heard the steps go
from the dining room to the front
door, which was opened and closed.
When he reached the door he saw a
man walking at fast pace across
the street, but did not give chase to
him
Returning to the dining room Mr..
Clark found all the silver ware had
been taken from the buffet and laid
on the top showing that the burglar
had been frightened away while col
lecting the loot. Mrs. Clark was
reused from her slumbers by the
front door opening, but Thought it
was her husband returning home and
went back to sleep, paying no atten-
tion to the occurance.
This morning the Clark's found
that the man had pulled the cords
from the telephone mouth piece dis
connecting the phone. This was evil
IDENTIFY fixed so call could not be
sent from the Clark home to the
police station. in case he was caught
Tobbipg the home.
Woman Surprises ProWler.
Returning home about 7:15 on
Thursday night, Miss Anna Burke,
308 w. Superior St, surprised bur-
glar in the act of rifiing her living
room. Miss Burke entered the room
and turned on the lights, taking the
man unawares. He ran to window,
and jumping out made his escape.
The police were summoned immedi-
ateiy, but the culprit had made good
his getaway before they arrived.
Later In the evening two men are
said to have stood for long time in
a shadow, on the corner of Clinton
and Superior St 1t was thought by
neighbors that one of these might
possibly have been the offender
Miss Burke evidently returned
home soon after the man had gained
admission to her house, as nothing
was found to be missing.
An empty purse, which was in a
china supboard in the dining room
had been opened but was evidently
cast aside by the thief when he learn
ed that it contained no money.

Failure of Owners to Enact
Important Deals Marks
Annual Meeting.
BY HENRY L. FARRELL.
u. II. staff CorresnondcntN

NEW YORK. Dec. 15'-After a
week of discussion about the neces-
sity of clean uniforms and the re-
ease OF pop bottles forever. the
major league club owners were on
their way home today.
The most important event Of the
annual conclave of the men who
make their living out OF baseball
was the failure Of Ban Johnson's
bomb TO explode.
The loss OF the American league
some weeks ago told all with ears
that he was going 10 say something
at the meeting OF mOguls that would
knock them off their chairs As far
as is known. however. all the mag
mates retained their positions.
Limit On Trades.
The magnates did take one con-
structive move 10 stop the talk in
the sticks about "pennant buying"
They decided that after June Is no
trades or sales can be made between
major league clubs. Stars can be
plucked out OF the minors. however,
without violating the rule
AS was predicted, there were no
big deals at the conciave. All the
club owners and the managers want
cd infielders, outfelders. pitchers
and catchers. but I'm their character
istic way they wanted them for
nothing.
Miller Higgins. manager Of Babe
Ruth and company. said today he
would like 20 have Eddie Collins on
second base next year. but because
Of the rules he would have 10 have
eight other men in the batting order
and the White Sox wanted every
player he had.
Dunn Won't sell
The Cards. the Tigers. the Reds
and the White Sox want Joe Boley.
the alleged star shortstop from Bal
timore. but Jack Dunn says he will
not sell him. The Brooklyn club
wants II ballplayers. but Squire Eo-
bets IS off TO Europe today and the
deals can't be made tin spring.
Judge Lands won another deci-
sion from Ban Johnson before :he
gas sessions ended. The mogu,s de-
cided that joint session OF the
major leagues would consist or any
number OF delegates that answered
the call OF the commissioner to
gather.
II the commissioner and only one
club owner meet next year in the
annual JOINT session it Will be a
quorum.
Ty Bats 800.
While the club owners we're ba.-
Ting all day the baseball writer's
got together and Passed a resolu-
ton that Ty Cobb batted only .3es
last year and that he should not
GO on the record books as a 400
swatter.
The writer's took the position that
the official scorer is entitled 10 just
as much authority as an umplregand
umpires are never overruled on a
question OF judgment

BESTS LANE TECH
IN ROUGH CONTEST
Coach Burnham's Men Win
Opening Game of Season
Before Crowd of 100.


South Bend High school won its
first game Of the season Friday eve
ming. when it defeated Lane Tech
nical High school from Chicago, so
TO Il. The game was played at the
local 'rY'' before a crowd of 1900
spectators.
The playing was rough and Ref
cree Halas was forced to cali an
abundance Of personal and technical
fouls. Lane was a quintet with two
or three players of merit. For the
others, 1t can be said that they tried
hard enough, but couldn't penetrate
the Bender goal territory, due to
splendid work on the part of Voc
disch and Rhoutsong. Rhoutsong
displayed ability in tossing foul
shots, making four out of six at
: tempts. Voedisch. using his foot
ball and basketball ability together,
stopped many intricate formations.
Capt. Johnny Nyikos had a good
evening also. Nyikos was getting
plenty of opposition from Watson,
negro center. and his game in the
hrst half was mostly defensive. Nyi-
kos chalked up one basket in the
first half and in the second he scored
three in a row. Godfrey Miller and
Huel Hollowell was picked TO start.
They were not slow In getting start
ed. Miller collected three goals
from the field and HollOwen two.
Hollowell was handicapped by an
infection in his neck. 1t was eX-
pected that Burnham would not use
him at all, but a last minute de-
cision sent Hollowell into the fray.
Guth Shows Ability.
Guth. visiting floor guard dis
displayed marked ability. He chalk
ed up six of possible ten free throws.
Early in the first quarter he scored
a sensational field goal. He was

careful thrust over his head. Lar
