Co. Operation Pledged After
MorriSsey and Wilson
Score Leach.

A note of harmony was sounded
Friday afternoon at the conclusion OF
a conference of Police Chief Mike
Morrissey, Detectives Chief Fred ST.
mon and Prosecutor Herbert Will
son with Governor Paul V. McNutt
and Al G. Feeney, director of the
state department of safety.
The conference of the state and
municipal officials was held to air
charges that statements by State
Police Captain Matt Leach are re-
sponsible for the failure OF Indiana
to obtain custody of John Dillinger,
alleged gangster-bank robber, who is
hello in Ohio.
Feeney announced at the close of
the conference that 1.-The closest OF
cooperation would mark the future
activities of the state and Indian
apoliS police"
Although armed with extradition
papers signed by the Governors OF
both Indiana and Ohio, local police
failed to get Dillinger at Dayton
Thursday. Instead, he was turned
over to Lima (O.) authorities.
Dillinger was paroled by the state
clemency board six months ago.
Since his release from the Indiana
state prison, he is alleged to have
been a gang leader in numerous In
diana bank robberies.
Arrested at Dayton, on informa-
ton supplied by Captain Leach, he
was indicted by the Marion county
grand jury for participation in the
Massachusetts, avenue bank robbery.
After his arrest. Captain Leach
went to Dayton and upon returning
to the statehouse, criticised the con-
duct of the Dayton police.
He was credited with saying that
he might have prevented the Indi-
ana prison break had Dayton po-
lice surrendered to him certain let
tiers found on Dillinger.
These statements, it is alleged by
local police and the prosecutors Of
fee, were instrumental in prevent
ing return of Billinger to this city.
Captain Leach is in the Calumet
district working on the prison break.
That he enjoys the full confidence
Of Governor McNutt was indicated
when the chief executive announced

HOSPITAL NEW
DEAL LAUNCHED
At CONFERENCE
Plan to Reduce Costs to
Patients Explained
by Dr.. Benson.

The new deal" campaign of the
four Methodist hospitals in Indiana
to reduce hospital costs to patients
Friday was launched at the annual
conference of the Methodist church.
The plan, which calls for raising
of $4,000 900 throughout the state
to care for building costs, was eX-
planned at the conference by DR..
John G.. Benson, indianapolis
Methodist hospital superintendent.
"A movement of all philanthropic
persons for the benefit of all needy
ones, sponsored by the Methodist
people" was the way DR.. Benson
described the movement.
The new deal program for our
Christian hospitals proposes to dis
tribute and democratize both the
privileges of Christian hospitaliza-
ton and it's responsibilities.
THE family with a hospital serv-
ice bond tucked away need never
fear the evil day Of sickness.
Disease is about the only form
of democracy left, and to meet its
ravages, hospital methods must be
democratized. This is a movement
above creeds. 1t is to enlist the
philanthropic services of all good
people"
The conference vas expected to
recommend that the third Sunday
in November, national Methodist
day, be marked by bringing the
message of the new deal movement
to the people in the churches.

RULES GIVEN FOR
TWO STROKES OF
SKY BALL CAME
Ocean Roll and TurnWriSt
End Instructions for
City Contest.

With the Sky Ball fad started in
the city, The Times today presents
two more instructions in the method
of playing the game that is
being offered to children by this
paper and the Em-Roe Sporting
Goods Company. Prizes will be
given to winners in the three
classes of players. Use only the
Green Times-Em-Roe Sky Ball in
the contests.
Two methods of play were de-
scribed Friday and with those for
a basis, children can swing into the
more complicated motions. When
you master the four sets Of instruc-
tons then it is up to you to devise
novel methods of play that will
place you above the average in the
sectional contests, Oct. IA, with the
hope of winning the finals a week
later.
The Ocean Roll and Turnwrist
are described today.
Ocean Roll Explained

esting and satisfying stroke, since, if
you can master the principle of it
(the circular swing which the bat
~describes), you a easily learn to do
the Flying Dutchman five different
ways.
Put your index finger on the back
of the paddle (the side which has
"Sky Ball" printed on IT'D and hold it
firmly in your hand. A good grip
that prevents the paddle from turn
ing in your hand will save a lot of
unnecessary misses.
Hold the ball in your left hand at
the same level as the bat and about
two feet away from it. When you
swing toward the ball do not make
a fiat swing, but follow the bottom
line of an oval shape Starting at
the right going to the left).
After you hit the ball you start on
the backward swing by raising your
bat like the top of an oval shape.
That completes your circle, but
the bat never stops. 1t smoothly
continues down, forward and up
ward and a little practice will soon
give you the feel of the correct
stroke.
Tournament in Detail
Be sure to always keep your eye
on the ball. Never look at the
paddle, but keep your eye glued to
the ball.
The turnwrist only can be done
satisfactorily on a smooth surface
Sidewalk, good asphalt street, hard
wood floor, etc. Hit the ball so
that it hits the ground in front of
you and comes back to you with
as low a bounce as possible. After
the forward swing of the paddle,
the latter continues in a downward
swing and on through past your
body.
Start the upward swing about one
foot behind your body and strike
the ball with the back of the paddle,
hitting the ball forward and up
ward at about a 80 degree angle.
You noW are ready to start all over
again, hitting the ball which is be-
ing pulled toward your bat by the
rubber string, downward to the
ground and continuing as before.
Stand upright while you play
with the Sky Ball. Do not bend
over trying to reach the ball. Make
the ball come to you. Do not exert
yourself, but try to execute all the
throws as gracefully as you can
