Man SOUGHT

No trace had been found today
by police Of the two men who ac-
companied Julius Grace. of Phila-
delphia, to- the Houston Hotel in
an alleged stolen automobile and
then left him there when he became
too i'll to travel. Grace was found
shot through the breast and. after
an investigation by the Detective
Bureau Homicide Squad. Coroner J.
Ramsey hewitt issued certificate
Of suicide.
That Grace was driven to his
death by q career of crime and his
craving for narcotics was indicated
when local police were advised by
Philadelphia authoritsas that Grace
was wanted there i'm connection
with the hold-up OF q bank in
that city last October and the
shooting of three bank messengers.
A. hypodermic needle was found
among his possessions.
Although everything pointed to
suicide, the Philadelphia authorities
were inclined to the belief that he
had been murdered by members OF
his own band.
The body Of Grace was turned
over to his father, Barnett Grace.
of 604 Elm ST., Philadelphia, who
brought it back to that city last
night for burial.

Bearing Makers Swamp Cham.
pi0Ds in Last Contest Of Year

Up until last night, the Stanley
trial league had suffered only one
defea. but in postponed contest
with Fafnirs at Walnut Hill park,
this number of losses was increased
TO two. The Bearing Makers show
game previous to last night, played
rings around the Stanley Works
team in the early innings and had
enough runs to win before the affair
developed into farce in the sixth
inning. ...
Jim Havlick who several seasons
ago, joined the ranks of veteran dia-
mond campaigners essayed the task
of turning this years champions
back and Jim was more than equal
10 the task. He allowed two hits
in the seven innings in which he
toiled and he would easily
have had shutout had he remained
in the box. He gave way in the
eighth to his son, Al who was nickcd
for the only runs, three, which the
Stanley Works was able to get.
The champions played listlessly
from the start until the finish. See
ing that the game was lost, the
Buttmakers changed positions and
used every man on the squad. "ry
Cobb" Gaida ended the game in the
honor
striking out one man.
Fafnirs got the jump In the first
three innings by scoring five runs.
One more was added in the fifth and
three more in the seventh when Joe
KAMA sent one over into Diamond
No. for home run. Another was
scored in the eighth. making the to-
tai for Fafnirs 10.
Hits were scarce on both sides,
Fafnirs getting six and Stanley
Works only five. Seven errors COM
mitted by the Stanley Works play
ers gave Fafnirs many lives when
they would not have had otherwise.
Stanley Works started off with Salak
on the mound. He was shelled on
and Abramowicz took his place
Warner johnson relieved him and
then Gaida ended the game.

Ey the Associated Presa
1t would seem to an unbiased OBJ
server that Jack Scott has been
around baseball long enough TO
know that old ICY" Williams is
poison in his own back yard.
Jack apparently forgot all about
"Cy's" reputation at Philadelphia
yesterday and so the New York
Giants lost a golden opportunity to
shave a full game off the National
league lead OF Bill McKechnie's st.
Louis Cardinals.
1t was like this:
The Giants had rudely bumped
Jimmy Ring and the Pills into
somewhat ignominious defeat in the
first game of a double header. to
4. and were leading. to 6 in the
second when Scott. reclaimed from
Toledo, entered the box to pitch the
ninth inning against the tail-enders.
He got rid of Thompson but Klein
singled. Leach was retired on a pop
fly and it appeared the game was
over.
Enter Mr.. Williams, waving a bat
menacingiy, but Cy's countenance
was placid and that may have lulled
Scott into a feeling of security.
However that may be. Jack served
one down Cys ALLEY" and the old
timer clouted 1t over his favorite
right field wall. scoring behind Klein
and pulling the game out of the fire.
S to Z.
Instead of gaining ground. the
Giants really lost some for the Chi
cago Cubs also put on ninth inning
tally at the expense of the Pitts
burgf, Pirates and advanced to with
in an eye lash of the second place
Giants.
The figures in this mathematical
tangle were: New York, .574s, and
Chicago, .5746.
The Pirates defeat, suffered by

play in the ninth inning. put the
Pirates back into fifth place. point

with the Cardinals, had day OF
idleness. Getting two hits during

outfielder. ran his hit collection to
200 for the season, the first National

the pirches. The victory put the
O's within two games of the idle
