Sheriff Says. x

Lawreace, Kan, April e6.-0scar
Bolts. -. and Mrs. Minnie Dietrich,
IS. both of Lawrence, were placed in
Jail Here last night. charged with
the robbery of the Union State Bank

Fong Sal, in turn, is member OF
the Suey Sings, smaller tong, but
which in past clashes has made up
for its numerical inferiority by the
accurate craftsmanship of its gunner.
Wong Gin promptly appealed TO the
Hop Sings to right his wrong. The
Hon Sings as promptly sent word 10
Fong Sal through the Suey Sings that
he must either return the wife and
baby Of Wong Gin or pay $4,000. An
alternative offer was that he return
the baby, but could keep the purloined
wife by paying 4 $4,000 indemnity.
Fong Sal refused both offers.
Then we will exact the blood pen

Sings.
An hour later Fong Sails tong. the
Suey Sings. sent a message back to
the Hop Sings which, in effect. was
that if a hair OF Fong Sails Oriental
thatch was harmed, they, the Suey
Sings. would light into the Hop Sings
with both feet and all their gunner.
The Hop Sings just as promptly ac-
cepted the challenge.

BNEY MAY GET JOB
OF SCOTT ON YANKS

The usual speculation has begun
as to what Manager Higgins will
do to his champion Yankee machine
in 1924. Among the stories going
the rounds is one that Scott will
find the going at shortstop too hard
another year and will be replaced.
The critics wrote Scott off the roster
the same way last year. He not only
rernined, but played better ball.
1t has been rumored that the Yanks
may get Boley. the Baltimore short
stop, to fill Seott,s shoes If the latter
is dropped Dunn is said to have
told Roley to choose his club and
Boley chose the Yanks. This was
not a bad choice on 'Boley's part, for
IL he joins the Huggins clan he is
likely to fall into a bonus not only
one year but maybe two or three.
He would At into the Yankee infleld
as we'll as any player that could be
chosen to succeed Scott. He Is a
good batter, and fields his position
better than any young player now
! in sight.
Boley is not. the only player Dunn
has allowed to choose his big league
berth. He gave Bentley that perniis.
sion and Bentley chose the Giants
where he has performed about as
well as could have been expected. II
there were GODDESS of high-cIass
players, he would rate as an average
performer But he has come to the
front now and then this season. He
never will be a second Rube Waddell
but he hits them now and then.
