"I could have run them IN, out
hate to arrest boys on sucn
charge" Moore said.
Neighbors called Moore TO Sn"r'
man Circle to stop a ball game.
The players, ranging in age from
8 to IL, scattered in every direction
when the policeman approached. ;,
However, Moore finally managed
to gather most of the youngsters
together. He then lectured them
on the dangers Of playing In the
streets. He pointed out that they
might be struck by automobiles or
damage property.
Moore no sooner had this game
stopped than he was sent to the
500 block Decatur st. n. w. A
ball had been knocked in the yard
of a property owner. He had stopped
the game by refusing to return IT
to the boys.
The boys begged Moore to force
the return of the ball. Moore, in
stead, took the ball and returned
to the station house, deciding this
would be a good way to stop the
games.
AS a result, street baseball games
in the Thirteenth precinct today are
few and far between.
