What "the Great" Shires did in his short
ring career now is athletic history. Boxers
will tell you that the White Sox athlete knew
virtually nothing of ring technique, yet he got
by in a most amazing manner. The same has
been true of his base ball. There have been
many men who were greater students of the
diamond pastime, but no one ever displayed
greater confidence. Indeed, it was this inborn
cockness which made Shires a success, both in
the ring and on the ball field.

first baseman in history, became so because

impossible, and as result he set record for

Accidental Shooting of Gangster
Gives Police Clues in Buckley and
Garvin Killings in Detroit.

BY the Associated Press.
DETROIT. September 2e.-Accidental
wounding Of a gangster by his l7-year-
old son was followed yesterday by the
discovery of evidence which may clear
up the shooting of Police Inspector
Henry j. Garvin last January and
also throw light upon many Of the 50
slayings by gangsters in Detroit since
then, including the killing of Jerry
Buckley, radio political commentator.
Joe Marine, former member of the
mob directed by Sam (Singing- in-tne-
Nightirne) Catallanotte, who died .
natural death last Winter, was shot by
his son John as the latter stumbled
while going upstairs carrying o revolver.
The physician. to whose Office the elder
Marine was taken, reported the affair
to police.
In a raid on Marines home, ofAcers
seized three shotguns, three pistols, an
automatic rife and 500 rounds of am
munition. Preliminary examination
disclosed similarity between the an1mtl-
milton and that used In the attack on
Inspector Garvin. Garvin has said
that the men who made the attempt on
his life later assassinated Jerry Buckley.
The weapons found in Marines home
will be examined today by william

PILOT OF WRECKED
PLANE IS FOUND
Parker, Ohio Flyer, Believed
to Have Died Trying to
Swim to Shore.
BY the Associated Press.

CoNNEAUT, Ohio, September 7s.-
The body of Willard Parker, Cleveland
pilot, was found early yesterday on the
Lake Erie beach near Conneaut, about
four and half miles from the place
where wTeckage was found Saturday
of the plane in which he and william
McNulty, Columbus salt manufacturer,
had disappeared four days ago from
Cleveland Airport. No trace has been
found of McNultys body.
Indications were that Parker, q war
time pilot, had drowned while attempt
ing to swim to safety after the plane
was wrecked in striking the water
The fact that the body bore no coat
led officials to surmise he dotted 1t
and tried to make shore.
Parker'S wrist watch had stopped at
2:1S. indicating that less than one
hour had elapsed from their taffe-off
at 1880 am. wednesday before disaster
overlook them.
Parker, inexperienced in night flying
over the usually foggy lake area, was
employed by McNulty to pilot the
chartered plane to an uncertain desti-
nation, variously believed to have been
Buffalo, Mifflinburg, Pa, or some Ca
madam city. The Curtiss Flying Service
Of Columbus, owners of the plane
charged McNulty was not authorized
to substitute Parker for its regular pilot
Omcials directing the search for the
bodies saw little chance that McNulty
had survived. The safety faSteninEs
in the plane indicated both he and
Parker had been thrown out and 1t
was regarded as certain that McNulty,
too, had been drowned and that his
body would be washed ashore soon.
