The Best ShOrtStop.
THE recent tribute paid to Honus
4 Wagner, greatest of all shortstops,
ranked by McGraw as the great
est of all infielders and therefore, great
est OF all ball players, recalls the keen
up this season to produce the best
Shortstop In the game.
The National League is depending
largely on Colbert of the Cardinals and
Travis Jackson of the Giants. The
American League will counter with Gro
min of the Washington Senators.
Jackson is the veteran of the lot
and he is only 81 years old. Yet Jack
son is now startinga his tenth season.
He came to the Giants in 1922 and
finished his ninth campaign last Fall.
Colbert and Cronin are barely out of
the debutante class. But their play
through 1880 was spectacular enough
to give great promise of high rating
in the years to come, even among
such names as Hans Wagner, Bobby
Wallace. Herman Long and others who
are remembered among the stars of
all time
The 1881 race among shortstops
should be one Of the best in many years.

We'll" Dempsey said, "the fighters
have turned wrestIers and the wrestlers
have turned fighters. The wrestfers now
do more punching than the fighters do,
and the fighters do most of the wres-

Any one who has peered at one Of the
recent wrestling shows or one of the
recent boxing matches will see that this
is precisely what has taken place.
And this may account for the fact
that the wrestling performances have
suddenly started outdrawing the boxing
matches by wide margin. The fight

A letter written to Juvenile Judge

Questioned by juvenile investi-
gators the second Mrs" Colwell is
said to have admitted she never had
been married to the mechanic.
Both women said that ColWell
used the excuse of being compelled
to take treatments at sanitarium
as reasons for his absences from
the homes.

seemed just a normal married cou-

that she would stick by his first
wife and his legal one.
MY son was never much of a
hand to talk to me about his affairs.
Yes, I made one visit at the home
on North Oakland. That was about
a year ago. He wanted me to see
the little boy.
"FIe never told me anything about
the family I was to see. We Just
talked everyday conversation and
he introduced me to this woman
that says she is his wife," Mrs.
Spannagle explained.
She said she understood that his
first wife knew a son had been born

me to go to the house. His first
wife is good, hard working
woman. She's done everything pos

she's out working in houses-she

she said.
At the North Oakland residence

Before he was slugged, Loves hit
one man with a bottle and knocked
him unconscious.
Broom told police he had stepped
into a hallway that leads from his
apartment above the restaurant, to
Illinois street, when the bandits
slugged him and damned revolvers
into his back.
Twisting his thumbs, he said, they
forced him to put his hands behind
him and they bound his wrists with
wire and gagged him. He then was
forced to lie on the floor while they
bound his feet, Broom told police.
While he was lying on the floor
the bandits took a ring valued at
81 200 and stud, worth $1,000.
They searched his pockets and re-
fused to take his watch.
Wife Is Awakened
Broom said he was able to kick
the wall and awaken his wife. The
bandits fed down the stairway and
police were unable to find any trace
Of them.
Loves told deputy sheriffs Tom
Scanlon and Pearl Craig that the
bandits, both armed, entered the
rear of the New Bethel building
shortly after midnight.
He said he was counting receipts
of the Southeastern Indiana Power
Company, of which he is agent,
when they kicked over a lamp and
forced him to sit on a davenport
while they looted the store. Find
ing only $183 Of the power firms
money the bandits made several de-
mands on Loves for "the rest of
the money"
Bandit Is SIugged
When he said he had not collected
additional funds one Of the bandits
started to bind his feet with wire.
Loves slugged the bandit with a
soft dring bottle, knocking him I'M
conscious. The second bandit
slugged Loves several times, and
after his companion revived both
men beat and kicked him, he told
deputies.
The bandits were in the cafe more
than an hour, Loves said, and
bound his hands with wire and
gagged him with an apron.
Loves was found by Sam Hast
ings, en1ploye Of a poolproom in the
same building, early today. Hast
ings heard Loves groaning and
called aid. Loves wrists were cut
