Alling in dis posing of the case against lgnatius t"Whitey"D Wisk of 73 Grove street. who pleaded guilty 10 charges of reckless driving and failing 10 stop on signal of a policeman at this mornings session ofpolice court.

 The chase of Wisk hy Strolls was one of the most sensational automo- hi)e episodes 10 occur in this city both machines travelling over 35 miles an hour at all times during the chase. and hitting d high mark of close to so miles an hour on some of the stretches. according to reports, Policeman Strolls vas highly com
 
 mended by people who witnessed the chase in the manner in which he tuck 10 the trail in spite of several close calls.
 The affair started according to the statements made 10 the court when the traffic vas coming back from the football game at Memorial { field yesterday afternoon Police man Tceney reported that tbere was heavy traffic on the street when he saw d machine coming along over on the left side of the road at fast rate of speed.
