and last but not least is One-Eyed
Connolly, the famous gate crasheI.
who has appeared on the scene.
Connolly however, has turned pro-
fessional. He has quit the amateur
racket and gone in for regular
food, big steaks and nightly lodging.
He showed bonafide S16.50 seat
which he purchased today. Since
the Preakness at Pimlico he has
been walking around the country
with a Confederate blue suit on, the
coat of which bears advertising mat
ter for a nationally known racing
daily. For attending all Of the big
sporting events in such a uniform
he receives the large sum of $50 r.
week and travelling expenses, all
the year around.
And so, along with the other dis
tinguished company belongs the
name of One-Eyed Connolly who IS
known the country over for his
proclivity to back into turnstiles SO
that the keeper would think he was
walking out.

FIGHT FAN

The Dempsey-Tunney fight does
not evoke much interest from
President Coolidge.
The Chief Executive is rather
cold towards the event, and has
not decided yet whether he will
turn the dials of his radio set so
that he can listen to the broadcast
ing from the ringside tonight.
Attaches of the White House
could not gain any definite clue to-
day as to whether the President
and Mrs. Coolidge intend to listen
in. Expert opinion around the
mansion is that they will not do so.
Presidential indifference. howeve.',
is not shared by the White House
staff generally.
The sole topic Of conversation in
the Executive offices today was On
tonight's battle in Philadelphia. A
few of the staff. including Nick
Jervis, head of the secret service
force. will be in attendance at the
event.

HELD
IN HOLD-UPS

The arrest of a man and woman,
the former of whom escaped shortly
after and the subsequent arrest OF
two other men early today. may
result in the Identification of the
three men and woman responsible
for the four holdups between Tri.
angie. Va, and the Highway Bridge
last week, the police say.
The first man and a woman who
gave her name as Mrs. Velour
Patricia McKenny, %, of Great
Falls, Va, were trailed in their
automobile TO Sixteenth and
Streets last night by Headquarters
Detectives Scrivener and Corners.
There they stopped the couple, they
say and searched the car. in which,
they claim, they found a quantity
of burglar tools.
The man and woman were take n
to detective headquarters and placed
in one of the large rooms on the
Fourteenth Street side. Detective
Trammel was asked to guard them
while Scrivener and Corners went
back to make more thorough
search of the car.
Escapes by Ruse
A short time after they left,
Trammel says, the man walked to-
ward the window on the prete&t
of throwing away a cigarette butt.
When he reached the window
Trammel sensed his purpose and
grabbed for him but the man had al
ready jumped. He was chased tC
Thirteenth Street and Ohio Avenue
Northwest by detectives and civilians
but got away.
Upon the return OF Scrivener
and Corners, they stated that they
had found three pistols, some am
munition and a flash light in the
car. While they were talking Of
the escape, the proprietor Of a
downtown cafe came into poi ce
headquarters and said that he had
heard a youth telephoning to his
friend that their buddy" had been
arrested by the police and had
broken his leg in a leap to safety.
Detective O'Dea went to the cafe
and after a struggle succeeded in
arresting the youth who had been
talking over the telephone. From
him he got the address and a
description of the other one and
his arrest followed. They gave
their names as Charles William

ups and bore a rear Florida license
plate. There was no plate on the
front. The automobile used by the
bandits in the sholdups was de.
scribed as having no tags and the
police think this may have been
due to the lack of a tag in front.
The first man arrested, who had
not been booked before his escape,
said that he was from Florida and
had been here but a week.
The police think that the seized
pistols may be the ones stolen
from the victims of the holdups and
will attempt to have them identi-
fled.

| doubt il any football coach has
a greater bag Of tricks than Coach
Glenn Warner Of Stanford. What

Warner.
AM sure it Is a we'll deserved com.
pliment, for To me he always has
seemed to have the enthusiasm and

Warner deals in diversified foot

teams arc hard to scout. In no two
games last season did we use exactly
the sn.,c system.
In the old days when Warner had
charge Of the Carlisle Indians, I'M
derstand he kept rival coaches busy
trying to ferret out his tricks.
Puts Ball Under Jersey
have heard him relate how one Of
his players once ran for touchdown
from, kickoff against Harvard by
secrettng the ball under his jersey.
also have heard him tell how in
one Of the big games all his players
had duplicate Of football sewed
on their jerseys, and as the ball was
passed each player would make it
seem that he was carrying the ball.
] am told it practically was impos-
sible for the opposing team to dis
tinguish between the player actually
with the ball and the 10 others with
fake footballs.
The stunt Of having one Of the
Carlisle Indians rolled up in blanket
along the sidelines to spring to his
feet and remove the blanket as play
was started, thereby upsetting the OPP
position, was another favorite trick.
