ALLEGED LADDER
FANCIER NAbBED
BY DETECTIVES
Man of Many Aliases Is
Accused of Taking
Even Dozen.
Continued From Page One)

Jacks father, H. B. Watson. was
one OF the ladder thiefs victims, il
seems.
Some time ago a man walked I'D
TO the Watson house and explained
that he was working on a house a
few doors down and had been in
structed 10 ask if he could borrow
the Watsons' extension ladders. The
Watsons complied. Nevermore. as
the raven cried, did the Watsons
see that ladder
And in rapid order. from north
side homes. came reports of stolen
ladders, all taken on similar pre-
lenses. One woman reported that
the ladder taken from her house
had been one she had borrowed
from neighbor.
Then came the last straw. Two
men were picking cherries in a tree
on Boulevard place Their ladder
was perched along the trunk when
man walked up and asked if he
could use 1t for few minutes.
Alight Much Later
The men nodded assent and of
went man and ladder, never TO
return.
The freed pair aHghted-much
later-and made a vociferous COM
plant to police Two detectives al
ready were trying to find the lad
der thief. Two more were seeking
a gasoline siphoning thief and they
were beginning to believe they were
after the same man.
One of the detectives, going back
over his ground, told little Jack
Watson to look for a small automo-
bile bearing a known license num-
Der and give the word when he
sighted it.
Monday afternoon, Jack spotted
the car in the $500 block on Car
rollton. He dashed up to John A.
Deery, 48, of 1852 Carrollton, who
called police Immediately.
A police radio car made a hurry
up dash, but the car was gone. Jack.
however, had watched the car move.
Clothing in Car
He headed straight SOUTH" he
told the police. OF went the police
car. In the 5000 block of College
avenue they met Sweeney. Off 10 Jail
he went. In his car were sew
eral pieces of clothing, none of
which, police say, belongs to him.
In the car. they said, was tell-tale
gasoline can.
Sweeney, they say already has
given approximately thirty ad-
dresses. He lives at none of them,
police say.
But they have hopes of getting
him to break down-especially when
they bring in the two fellows who
sat up in that tree.

Sullivan had only a sore face to
show for his boast that he would

ropes inside of five rounds. There
was not a mark on Corbett save
a patch of red on his shoulder

great John l.. actually was groggy.

Corbett saw that Sullivan was
weak in the knees and could not
hit. He thought it was time to
show he was a real fighter, be.
yond any mans doubt. The tall
young man in gray trunks un-
Imbered himself and went at the
champion as if Sullivan were a
punching bag. He did not trou-
BILE about his defense, but hit the
big one in the face. You could
hear the blows all over the hall
blows that came from a man who
was said tc hit like child.
In five seconds Sullivan had not

him one more for California and
the big one sank to his knees as

butcher strikes him fair in the
forehead. He sank and put out
his hand to save the shock Of a
fall and rolled over on his back.
Tries To Regain Feet
There was a cheer that made
Sullivan writhe on the ground
and try to stagger to his feet.
He had heard the lustful cry
for blood a score Of times when
he stood erect and the other
men writhed in the dust. He
made one more effort and half
rose as 10 was counted. Corbett
dashed over at him only to be

Raised Flag Before

BY now we are all familiar

Roosevelt assisting in the raising
Of a flag at Griffith Stadium
on an opening day along back
in 1917. If he honors the
opener this year with his
presence, he will only be follow
ing his own footsteps of that
spring when America entered the
war and he was pinch hitting
for Secretary Josephus Daniels,
who, with President Wilson, had
Q brand new war on his hands.
But what we wanted to say
today that after a manner,
baseball has come to be more or
less of a presidential game here
In Washington.
Mr.. Wilson liked his baseball,
probably as much as he did
his vaudeville show. although
the latter was a weekly habit
with him, so Roland Robbins
and Johnny Chevalier, former
Keith major domos, declare.
In college Mr.. Wilson was
first a player and then a
coach.
Mr.. Taft attended the games
and took a deep interest in
baseball. His brother, the late
Charles P. Taft, was once in
tereSted in the Cincinnati Reds.

Lincoln First Fan

Abraham Lincoln was the
first presidential baseball fan,
according to the testimony of a
recent occupant of the Soldiers
Home. During the Civil War
there were soldiers quartered all
around Washington and Mr..
Lincoln was a frequent visitor
to the various camps, always
talking with the soldiers and
asking them how they were get
ting along.
One day he was standing with
q group Of officers watching
some of the personnel play dur
ing a lull in the fighting, and
was invited to participate. Un-
able to play, he graciously Of
fered to referee" as the um-
pire was called in those days.
Wherewith. he removed his
high hat and frock coat and
proceeded to call the runners
safe and out. Baseball took
tremendous impetus from that
incident, as after the war, SOL
diers returning to their homes
took this very young game back
home with them, and soon it
came to be the national pas
time.
Yep, Abraham Lincoln was
the first White House fan.
