PURSUED
MEN GET
AWAY
They Are Suspected of Rob-
bling Two Taxi Drivers
After Battle With Cops

A desperate gun battle between
two policemen from the Fourth
Precinct and two colored men
they had apprehended breaking
into q garage in southwest Wash.
ington early today, featured q
night filled with hold-ups, fights
and pocket-picking.
Policemen H. Mazurski and F.
A. Schenck first noticed the two
men acting suspiciously around
Herbert's drug store, at Tenth and
Virginia avenue southwest. The
police decided they were trying to
break into the place and ap-
preached them.
Found Second Time.
The men fled down Tenth street
to d and across d to Eleventh,
where they again stopped and were
about to break in when police once
more walked up to them.
I. This time the police lost sight
Of the men. A few minutes later,
as they hurried across "a vacant
lot at Twelfth and d streets, they
heard a noise in Carlin's court
nearby. 1t sounded as though a
lock were being broken and the
police ran up.
They found the two colored men
attempting to break into garage
in 1908 Carlin court. At the ap-
proach of the cops the men ran.
After running about fifteen feet,
they turned and opened .ire on
the officers who were now less
than a hundred feet from Them.
Men Run Again
Schenck and Mazurski returned
the fire, according to witnesses the
four men then had a real battle,
with all of them standing out in
the open and firing as fast as
they could pull Their triggers.
Finally the two suspects turned
and ran with the police again at
their heels.
When the fugitifes reached Thir-
tsenth and II =7reets they turned
LIFT and when the police reached
the corner they had disappeared
and escaped. One of them is in
jured, the police believe.
Two men, believed by r ~ TO
be the same who were pure0c i,

Haber has been a pitcher for the team for the past three years and Claire has been shortstop. Both elections were unanimous.
 A new system relative to the awarding of the white sweater will be initiated into the New Britain senior high school athletic depart ment after this year it was an- nounccd by Principal Louis P. Slade at auditorium exercises this morn- ing. Hereafter the white sweater, which is the reward for successful participation in three sports at the school, will be given only to students on the eve of graduation. The principal and Physical Director Cas- sidy feel that the sports of the school will benefit by this arrange
 ment since many athletes gain this honor with the benefit of only one lyear of education at the school. Winning this award in his first or
 second year at school would be 8
 factor that would make an athletes
 head expand beyond control, the coach feels.

RANGERS MEETING
 SETTLES DISPUTE
Coach Jack ArsoSy and Matty Hayes Shake and Are Friends

The Rangers A. c. baseball team held a real get-together meeting last night at the club rooms at S21 Main street to discuss the dispute that had arisen within the ranks of the team between Coach Jack Argosy and Matty Hayes, catcher for the nine two weeks ago last Sunday, and after discussion, the team voted to forget the disagreeablc occasion and to carry on as fl nothing had happened before to bring rift in the feelings of the men.
 Coach Argosy gave his reasons for his actions on the field and Mat Ity Hayes told why he acted as he had, and after a round robi ndis- cussion, President Al Seifels of the Rangers club. asked the two men 10 shake hands and call off the argu- ment. This they both did and. with out a doubt, the break in the ranks of ihe team has been cemented more solidly than ever before.
 A number of the members of the team and of the club who were present at the meeting, voiced their opinions of the argument. They stated that they thought that both men were in the wrong due to the fact that they allowed their feelings to run away with their good judg- ment. Many of them thought that the dispute should be settled be- tween the two men involved and that this should be done without delay.
 It WIS explained 10 the members of the club that the reasons for the dispute were not important. but its
 results might be for the future oi lthe club. It was shown that CoacI
 Jack Argosy had following o
 friends as did Matty Hayes and il
 the dispute was 10 be kept up, ar Inevitable split would be caused il
 the ranks of the Rangers club tha
 would bode i'll for the future. Hayes stated that he was sorry that h,
 had acted in the manner he had a
 the game two weeks ago last Sun
 day and Coach Argosy admitted tha
 he lost his head.
 Both of the men stated that the
 were only too willing 10 let bygone
 be bygones and to work f5r the ret
 terment of the team and Of thei
 club. The meeting ended witl
 everyone being satisfied that th
 feelings aroused by the actions 0 the coach and teams catcher woul' , be forgotten in the spirit of working , for the club and Coach Argosy stat ,, ed that as far as he was concerned ) Matty Hayes would be welcome ? back on the team if he would pla .. the game as he should and could. , Hayes said that the mistake h made two weeks ago would be good lesson to him and stated tha |. the members of the team and of tn . Rangers club could feel assured tha : he would not duplicate the action
 again. A great deal of enthusiast
 was shown at the meeting over th
 prospects of the team and it wa evident that the Rangers wanted . make peace with their members bt cause of the fact that Matty Have V name was entered in the teams li' ] to play in tn City league. Every - thing looks. rosy for the Ranger S club now.
