POSSES TAKE
ESCAPED MEN

HOLBROOK, Ariz., Oct. II. U.P)-
A our-day search through the
northern Arizona mountains had
ended today with the recapture of
five escaped Jail prisoners, one of
whom was seriously wounded in a
running gun battle with a posse.
Charles Baker of Winslow, Ariz.,
the ringleader, was shot in the alb
domen, chest and hand when he
eected to shoot it out with his pur-
suers. His four confederates, Jay
Cox and Luke Barnhall, both of In.
dianapolis, and Milford Musser and
Albert Shapiro, Kansas City, sur
rendered without resistance, al
though all we're heavily armed.
Cox, Musser and Shapiro were
taken by surprise in an abandoned
shack. Bloodhounds trailed Baker
and Barnhill to a highway where
they had held up truck driver. A
second posse accosted them a short
distance ahead. Baker was shot
down when he opened fire.
The fugitives who had escaped
from jail here after beating a turn
key into unconsciousness and raid
ing the arsenal, said they subsisted

ACCESSORIES
AID SMART
FALL OUTFIT

Because most of your informal
daytime clothes will be brown. you
will see great number of brown
gloves, in every conceivable shade
from the almost yellowed copper
brown to the very deep ruddy
brown. Then you will see green's to
go with your Pinewoods green and
hunters green tailored clothes, and
just few blues and greys for de-
finite costume effects.
Terribly, terribly clever, if we may
be forgiven for the ecstacy, are the
new evening handbags which have
been designed to go with the new
evening sandals. Although these
sandals prescribe more foot cover
age than those of the past summer,
they nevertheless give a barefoot
effect lergely by the way their trim
mings are applied. So we may see
discreet satin sandals on which
a couple of jewelled bands are
crossed, suggesting that the rest of
the shoe doesn't exist SO along
come the handbag people, and make
cute little satin bags, criss- crossed
with similar jewelled bands! There
are, too, a great number of lame,
metallic, and metal brocade bags to
go with the vast number of metal
lie gowns on the scene.
Shoes Interest
The general type of daytime shoe
which the average woman will wear
at home, in town, and to the bridge
party Is naturally not all sporty in
nature 1t must be dressy enough
to be feminine, yet sturdy enough
to be worn the greater part of every
day. We therefore find that suede
b favored leather, alhough there
Is also great deal of highly pol
ished calf, patent leather, and the
better wearing variety of kid. None
OF these feathers is used alone, but
rather in combination with another.
Suede and patent is always smart,
patent with kid is another practical
daytime combination, and many kid
shoes use suede appliques, or slight
ly rough grain leather trimmings.

But whenever the opportunity
presents itself, Cronin will bring

which strengthens his idea that

SPORTS
By KIRK MILLER
: On Spring Schedule
Baseball Fans Take
Griffmlen For Granted

Washington Is bound to be su.
perior this coming season Is in
the matter Of reserve strength.
Cecil Travis and Bob Boken
should be able to take admir-.
able care Of any infield exigen-
cies, and that goes for Johnny
Kerr as well. Dave Harris will
be the outfield reliance in util.
ity work together with probably
Gus DugaS, complete a Secon-
Diary front termed by observers
as hard to beat.
So those who are taking the
Washington club for granted
are all right in theory, at Least.
On paper the club does look
strong and there is so much
known ability remaining from
last year that the sanguine
local viewpoint does seem juSti'
fled.
Holding It's Own
Should Washington maintain
that fine balance Of all the
essential winning qualities which
it possessed last season, there
should be little over which to
be other than sanguine.
Tight pitching and superb
fielding were attributed by the
experts as the chief charm Of
the Griffmen last year, but the
batting punch which completed
the equilibrium of the club
should not be overlooked.
Washington scored $50 runs
to cop the American League
flag and lead the loop in hit
ting with a .287 average. The
team registered 1886 safe blows,
more than any Of its competi.
tors, by the way, which were
good for 2,219 bases.
Among the bingles which Gro
Minis crew compiled we're 272
doubles, SO triples and 60 home
runs, all of which facts tell their
own story Of Washington's po.
tent offensive power.
True, the team was superb in
defense, because it takes effec-
tive pitching to hold seven oppo.
nents down to 665 runs, as did
the washington pitchers, just as
it takes tight fielding to COM
pile a .979 mark, but you don't
score runs on defensive play. I
could never understand why the
1888 Griffmen, with $50 runs
and 1886 hits, were touted more
for defensive play than for Of.
fensive power. The figures
prove it had a rare mixture Of
both which. if duplicated this
year, will justify those who al.
ready are taking the club for
granted.

True Line On Griffs
Can Be Secured
From Major Teams

Starting with that exhibition
same in Biloxi today with the
Cleveland club; we shall begin to
get our first real line on the
capabilities Of the 1884 Wash
ington ball team. It is against
the big league opposition that a
true reading may be had as to
effectiveness. Consequently, this
year minimum Of games in the
spring exhibition schedule have
been booked with minor league
clubs.
Cleveland, the Chicago Cubs,
Boston Braves, Brooklyn, and
Pittsburgh will furnish the main
opposition between now and the
April 16 opener here. It is the
box scores of these games that
win furnish the best barometer
tor the Washington fans.
The inter-club games and con-
tests with minor league outfits
like New Orleans, Memphis, and
Baltimore are all very well to
help eradicate the winters COM
petitive rust, but smart, big
league opposition with the five
major outfits mentioned is the
stuff that should bring the team
right up to its fighting edge.
Taken for Granted
There is a considerable ten
Adency among many fans to rake
the 1884 Griffmen for granted.
Few there are that won't ad-
init the club is as good as it was
last year and many can see a
distinct improvement. possibly
rs much as IS per cent over last
year.
It is patent the Griffmen must
be stronger than in 1888 in order
to repeat because of the inn
proved opposition particularly
in two spots, Boston and De-
troit.
But with Weaver quite a re-
habilitated man physically and
able to take some of the pitch
ing strain off Crowder, White
hill and Stewart, all around
their thirty-third birthdays,
WaShinton WILL be stronger
In the pitching department.
Whether it will be improved
in the outfield remains to be
seen. The chances are it will be,
as Johnny Stone is ambitious to
make the fans here forget Goose
Goslin. He'll be in there every
day to build up a reputation
equal or superior to that created
by the Salem Goose. He took a
great start in that Yannigan
game last Wednesday.
