DASHES FOR LIBERTY
THROUGH CAR WINDOW;
TAKES BOY WITH HIM

Lancaster, Ohio, May 12.--An
impediment in the form of six
teen-year-old boy handcuffed to his
wrist meant nothing to Pomeroy
negro bootlegger, when it came to
making dash for liberty on
train running forty miles an hour
yesterday. So through the windows
he went taking the hoy with him.
The lad suffered a broken shoul-
der and other severe injuries. The
negro, John Sparkman, SO years
old, was being taken to the Dayton
workhouse to serve a sentence for
bootlegging. The boy, Leonard
Larkins, was being taken to the
state reform school at Lancaster.
The two officers in charge of the
prisoners had handcuffed them to-
gether. Both prisoners were re-
captured.

EvERs PREDICTS
WALKAWAY FOR
GIANTS IN 1922
New York National League
Club is the Best Baseball
Combination Produced in
Fifteen Years.

New Ork, May IL Cby the ASso-
ciated Press.) - Johnny Evers,
whose opinions on the prospects of
a baseball season are not regarded
as idle chatter, believes that the
Giants will have a walkaway in the
National league race and that the
American league pennant will 80 to
New York. Cleveland or st. Louis.
Evers looks on the Giants of today
as the best baseball combination
produced in fifteen years and equal
to the old Chicago Cubs in which
he was the pivot link of Tinker to
Evers to Chance"
The scrappy second baseman.
now a member of the White Sox,
who finished a series with the
Yankees here yesterday, declined
to compare the two major leagues,
but his estimate on the Giants
speaks for itself.
"The Giants" he said, "have
everything that they need"
With Ruth and Meusel out of the
Yankee lineup, it is difficult to ap-
praise at mid-season value the
strength OF the New York Ameri-
cans, Evers said. 1t is questionable
to him il either of the two suspend
ed Yankee sluggers will be capable
of their best game when they join
the lineup May 20 and it is further
a doubt in his mind If they will add
immensely to the playing strength.
"The Giants have a well-balanced
team" opined Johnny, talking for
once without the aid of chewing
gum. "McGraw has three first
class pitchers in Barnes, Douglas
and Nehf and will have another
when Toney comes back. And he
has excellent recruits in Shea. Ryan
and Jonnard.
Good pitching-g good baseball
will beat the Yankees. Cleveland
is the classiest club in the American
league. They really play the game
play inside baseball. st. Louis
has strong club--pretty strong
all around, but it could stand bet
ter pitching. Washington will be
just trouble making club.
Our team--the Sox-won't be

2 CHILDREN AT POINT
4 OF DEATH FROM BURNS
tBy The Associated Press.)

Durango, Colo. May 12.-"Bow,'
aged 9 years. and Molly, 5 son and
and daughter of the Rev. w. H.
Phipps of Aztec. N M. near here,
are at the point of death in their
home today as the result of burns
received when they attempted to
light a gas furnace. Their mother
received painful burns while at
tempting to rescue them.
Attracted by the cries of the
youngsters. who were playing in
the furnace room, Mrs. Phipps
rushed in to find them enveloped
in flames. Snatching a rug she
smothered the blaze and summoned
medical aid.
The children were playing in the
basement of the Baptist church,
where the family lives, when they
went into the furnace room and
attempted to light a fire. Molly
turned on the gas and her brother
spent some time trying to light a
match. The gas was pouring out
of the door when Molly came to
her brothers side just as the baby
succeeded in striking the match.
Immediately the youngsters were
wrapped in flames. Their father is
in Texas on church business.
