NO JAIL SENTENCE
 FOR BOND THEFT
Drinking Bout Before Action
 Leads to Judges Leniency

Taking into consideration that the offense was preceded by a drinking bout and also the probability that the confessed thief would be oblig- ed to remain in jail in default Of bonds if bound over to superior court, Judge NJ. D. Sake in police court today took jurisdiction in the case of Joseph Pekoe, alias Joseph Bingcr. 35. of 79 Orange street, and fined him $50 and costs on the charge of theft Of s1S in cash and I $50 Polish Liberty bond said to Ec worth $i3.
 Pekoe pleaded guilty but claimed to have found the money and the bond in an envelope on the floor of his bedroom. Testimony was of fered, however, by the woman in whose tenement the theft was com- mitted that she had hung the coat in which the envelope had been placed in her own bedroom, ana while it was there the pockets were rified.
 Sergeant ?. J. OMara testified that Alexander Kureila of 335 Park street reported at headquarters yes terday morning that he had been drinking Wednesday and, being ac- Quainted T'ith the woman in whose home Pekoe boarded, he was allow ed to stay there for the night. Pe- koe shared the bed, and yesterday morning he and the envelope were missing The bond was recovered by Sergeant O'Mara from a woman at 323 Broad street and s15 of th" money from storekecper at 292 Broad street. In the envelope wern postal receipts in Kureila's name.
 Refuses Jail Sentence
 Prosecuting Attorney Woods recommended that jail sentence be imposed but Judge SaXe felt the ends of justice would be served by ordering a fine. Ordinarily, Judge Sake said, in cases of theft involV- ing $50 or over, probable cause is found and a bind over ordered, but the circumstances in this instan"" were extraordinary.
 John Corlick. 20, Of Kensington, pleaded not guilty to the charge Of theft of a police dog valued at s15o on July , from Rocco Giobina Of 4O5 South Main street, and a con- tinuance until tomorrow was ordel- ed because of the absence of Ser geant T.

Races Are Settled Beyond the
Doubts OF Most Hopeful
Yank, Pirate Fans
LESS THAN 80 N LEFT
George Earnshaw Is First Hurl-
or to Win Twenty Games;
Yanks Are Submerged
BY WILLIAM J. CHAPMAN
ASSOCIATED Press Sports Writer

With the two pcnnant races settled
beyond the doubts of ever the most
hopeful Pirate and Yankee support
ers, the Cubs and the Athletics now
turn to a pursuit of the mathematical
certainty through the stretch. The
case should not be long.
A survey of the standing Of the
clubs shows that the Cubs need l6
victories and the Athletics IL to as
sure another Chicago-Philadclphia
worlds series even III the face of a
possible clean sweep BY the runncr-up
clubs. The Mackmen have % more
games to play and the Bruins q.
Neither of the coming champions
should require more than 10 days or
two weeks at the most to settle the
argument. 1t is the first time III
many years that both races have
been in line for such early decision
in the same season.
Neither Connie Mack nor Joe Nc
Carthy is disturbed greatly over the
question OF winning 100 games. Both
would like to do it. And both still
may, but each puts the winning pen
nant far above any mere race alter
records.
When George Earnshaw finally
speared his goth victory at Phtladel-
phia yesterday by 10 to 2, with the
Yankees OH the receiving end. he
placed his team Just IA and n hall
games to the good. He also clinched
the seasons series against the cham
pions. as the third straight IN the
holiday engagement gave the AS q
record of IL games won and only
| eight lost in play with the Yanks,
| with Just two more to be decided.
Earnshaw's Goth victory, long
sought, gave him the honor OF being
the first major Lacquer to reach that
! figure this season
The Red Sox and the Senators
played a spirited game at Boston,
with the Senators on top by 10 to 5
at the finish.
