BIG CROAKERS
CAUGHT At
GOOSES
BY GINO SINH

When the blues start biting,
rough weather doesn't mean any
thing.
The past week, despite high
winds, the blues, which came into
the angling picture almost over
night 10 days ago, have contin-
ued to bite right through it all
with superb indifference.
The biggest bluefish news of
the week is a catch of $50 pounds
of them off Wynne, Md, by Mr.
and Mrs. Franklin Pillsbury, of
Washington, and Mrs. Carl Will
storf, of Baltimore, early Sunday
morning fishing with Capt. J. H
Cullison. They also landed SO
trout weighing between four and
five pounds.
Detectives Fish
Two detective brothers, Elmer
and c. L. Dalstion; Bob Whittle-
ton, Martin Forp, Mike Mantoni,
William D. Clifton and Guy A,
Amman ran smack into schools
of blues and trout about 10 miles
off Point Lookout Sunday. They
yanked in around 1876, mostly
blues, weighing 212 and pounds,
trolling for several hours.
Marty Gordon, Jimmy Reed
and Frank Dubois landed around
20 pan-sized blues at Broomes
Island and some of the largest
spots ever seen, weighing enc
pound or better.
Brave Weather
The hardheads, too, have been
Drawing the inclement weather.
DR.. IgnatiuS Rutkoski, his brother
Frank, and Carroll Martin, of
MorgantoWn, w. Va, paid fly
ing visit to the Gooses Wednes-
day and, despite extremely rough
going, landed 1875 hardheads tip
ping the scale between two and
~ pounds, in two hours. But
they had to wait until around
8 o'clock before they started to
bite. Captain Clarence CARRIER,
their boatman, predicted a great
run of blues and trout in a few
days.
Catch Large Spot
Roy Sutherland had a picnic
gathering in large spots at Blacki-
stone Island Sunday. He also
picked up hardheads and trout.
Pan rockfish is being caught
around Raggedy Point Lighthouse
and Tall Thinkers trolling Still
fishing is still bringing good re.
suits in that area.
Harrison Hathaway, Bryan
Morse and his son, Mason. had a
glorious time bringing in large
croakers in Delaware Bay, both
still fishing and surf-casting. They
also bagged many a kingfish and
six big trout, weighing between
734 and 912 pounds.

Detroit Police Continue
Hunt for Kidnapers

DETROIT, Aug. 10 G.N.SO.
Detroit police officials today con-
tinued to deny activity in the
search for the kidnapers of John
Labatt, wealthy Canadian brewer,
released yesterday after being
held for IS hours, despite confer
ences with four Canadian police
officers and continued raids Of
underworld hauntS and water"
front hideouts.
Chief of Detectives Fred w.
Frahm refused to comment on
the statement of E. M. Burke,
manager of Labatt's London, On
tario, brewery, that 1.-The case is
now in the hands of Detroit au-
thorities and provincial police"
He admitted, however that the
fingerprints of local police
character known as '"Three-Fin-
gered Abe" had been sent to
Canadian authorities.
The kidnaper's original note,
found pinned to the upholstery
of the Labatt abandoned auto,
was signed Three Fingered Abe"
1t was also learned that Hugh
Labatt, brother of the kidnap
victim, was believed to have
visited Windsor during his mys-
ferrous disappearance from the
Royal York Hotel at Toronto
late Thursday, prior to the re-
lease of his brother.
Detroit police continued to
deny that they had been furnish
ed fingerprints found on the
steering wheel of John Labatt's
car, despite confirmation from
other sources, and as a result
were searching for a well-knoWn
Detroit hoodlum.

During that time the conference
has obtained approval by the
American Bar Association for
many uniform laws which have
been applied in the District by
congressional enactment and in
other jurisdictions of the country.
They include:
The uniform negotiable instru.
ments act, uniform warehouse re-
ceiptS act, uniform bills of lading
act, uniform fiduciary act, uni
form child labor law, uniform fire
arms act enacted in the District
in 1892, and the more recent uni

session.
For the first time in many
years, Col. w. C. Clephane, third
of the local commissioners, will be

Payment of Ransom
BY Labatts Stirs
Ire of Officials

'clude the arrest of Edward Chard
on an extortion charge. According
to police, Chard has admitted
making three telephone calls to
Hugh Labatt while the latter was
quartered in a suite at the Royal
York Hotel here awaiting contact
with the kidnapers. demanding
$4,000 ransom for Me release Of
the millionaire brewer. Chard
is to be arraigned in Municipal
Court today for a preliminary
hearing.
Chard's arrest was made when
police, who had listened in on all
telephone calls to the Labatt
suite, traced the calls to a gaso-
line station near the Humber
River bridge.
Various reports circulated today
concerning the payment of the
$150,000 ransom demanded for
John Labatt's release. One was
that less than $4,000 was paid an
emissary of the kidnapers. An
other, that Hugh Labatt had with
drawn $150,000 from the bank
Tuesday afternoon, the day John
was "snatched," and that an en-
ploye of the Labatt's left the hotel
suite with the money in a suitcase
some eight hours before John was
freed.
1t was generally believed, how
ever, that no ransom was paid.
A close friend of the Labatt
family in London declared he
had positive information that
no money changed hands.
Officials blamed lack of CO.
operation from the Labatt family
for the cold trail" they are
following in their intensive eff
forts to apprehend the kidnapers.

ROWE THRILLS
IN 14TH Win
IN ROW
BY FRANK "BUCK" O'NEILL
Times Staff Writer

Schoolboy Rowe, of the Detroit
Tigers, shut out the Yankees in
the second game of a double
header at Yankee Stadium in
New York yesterday, and this
morning is two games behind the
American League record for con-
secutive games won by pitcher.
The Eldorado tWister scored his
fourteenth victory in row, and
is squared away to tie or beat the
mark held jointly by Walter john
son, Smoky Joe Wood and Robert
Moses Lefty" Grove. These
hearties won 16 straight games.
Rowe pitched his sixth loW-hit
game of his streak and his second
shutout. In 10 of his games he
held the opposition to four runs
or less, and twice allowed only one
hit. He struck out 81 men.
Rowe reached peak in shut
ting out the Yankees with three
hits and striking out 10 men.
He had everything a pitcher
could ask, from blinking speed
and darting curves to deceptive
change of pace.
He famed Ruth in the eighth
inning when the Bambino went to
bat as pinchhitter for Chapman.
The third strike was a curve ball
that broke off and exploded right
at Ruth's knees as the big boy
held his bat on his shoulders.
Calls on Rowe
Cochrane called upon Rowe
after the Yankees had shut out
the Tigers in the first game, Lefty
Gomez winning his twentieth vic
tory of the season n a dazzling
display of pitching quality and
hurting heart. Cochrane de-
manded of the Tigers that they
leave New York leading the Yam
KEGS by five and one-half games.
That is the margin that separates
the prospective champions from
New York this morning.
Great was the thrill of RoWe's
spectacular victory and wild the
eXultation of the Tigers. But for
two soul-searing minutes in the
second inning of that final game
Mickey Cochrane'S heart stood
still
The hearts of fans in Detroit
stood still, too, for Rowe hurt his
left leg. From the stands it
seemed as if the leg had buckled
under him, tearing a tendon ut
least. The big youngster groveled
in pain as he lay on the ground.
Doc Painter to Rescue
The camaraderie of baseball
swept aside barriers of team and
allegiance. Doc Painter of the
Yankees was first to Rowe's aid,
and with few deft manipula-
tons he eased the pain of the
injury. In a minute Rowe was
on his feet, and in five minutes
he was back pitching. A great
cheer hailed his return, for New
York salutes the champion, even
if he beats the home talent.
Rowe had made an infield hit
to Jimmy Deshong in the sixth
and Cochrane singled to right.
Rowe advanced to third, but
didn't slide. AS he stepped on
third his spikes caught and his
full weight was thrown or the
left leg. The limb buckled and
Rowe fell again. Gentlemen,
right then and there, the crowd
feared that Detroit's pennant
chances had fallen with Rowe.
For where would the Tigers be
without him?
Well. the big boy won, and the
glory of victory is his. He had a
job cut out for him, because
Jimmy DeShong pitched one of
his finest games of the year.
After the second inning the
Tigers made only two hits, and
in the last four innings against
Deshong went down in order.
Johnny Murphy pitched the
ninth inning and got them down

But before the law ever was
sponsored by the American Bar
Association, it had been studied,
written, torn apart, rewritten,
and rewritten again over a period

Roebuck had nothing to say"
concerning such questions as:
/. Was any ransom paid,
and If so how much?
2. Where was the ransom
paid and by whom?
3. Have the police developed
any clues?
Police Withdrawn
Newspapermen who went to the
Labatt home this morning found
that the uniformed policeman
who had been on duty yesterday,
had withdrawn. In response to
the bell, Mrs. Hugh Labatt came
to the door but refused to give any
information. She asked:
isn't the policeman down
there?"
Chief of police w. H. Down of
London admitted he had with.
drawn the police but would not
reveal why he had done so.
DOdgeS the Press
Solicitor Elliott was asked if
there was any truth in a report
that John Labatt's policy of
silence was due to an arrange
ment he had made with the kid
napers to keep silent or that he
feared repriSals if he talked. He
said:
II cannot answer that"
He reiterated that he didn't see
how anybody in London could
talk in view of the attitude of
the Acknowledgement that all in
formation must be released from
his office in Toronto.
He gave the impression there
was little likelihood that Mr..
Labatt would talk to the news
papermen today, tomorrow, or at
any time until he had fully re-
covered from the effects of his
ordeal in the hands of the kid
napers.
After telephoning the attorney
general he said to reporters:
"Mr. Roebuck said the po-
lice are working on the case and
that there is nothing to give out
today. His instructions are that
neither Mr.. Labatt or members
of his family are to give out any
information"
GOT DEATH THREAT
John Labatt was told by his kid
napers:
"After we turn you loose in
TOrOntO-and you falkland
any of our gang are arrested
we will come back and kill YOU"
Mr.. Labatt has told police he
knows he was in house, but has
not the faintest recollection
where he was. He was blind
folded all the time.
International News Service was
told that the kidnapers on sew
eral occasions even plugged Mr.
Labatt's ears with cotton and
tapped them over when they were
talking over certain angles of the
case.
Police here believe that this
extraordinary move was taken by
the kidnapers to prevent Mr.. La
bait from ever recognizing them
by their voices in the event that
they were picked up by the police
after he was released.
Premier Mitchell F. Hepburn,
militant leader of the Liberal
party in the province, revealed
today that he is considering legis-
lation which will make it a crimi
nal offense for anyone other than
a police official to deal with kid
napers.
Failure to Cooperate
The measure, it was learned,
will probably be introduced at
the next legislative session, and
will provide a heavy penalty for
persons paying ransom demands
without the sanction of province
authorities.
The proposed law was recon-
mended by Attorney General
Arthur Roebuck, in a statement
in which he scored the Labatt
family for failing to cooperate
with the authorities.
