New York, Dec 4-(U.P.)-Lou Gehrig, iron man of the New York Yankees, has added the American League runs batted in title for 1894 to the list of his records.
 In driving 165 scores across the plate he led the league for the fifth time and tied Babe Ruth.
 Gehrig's domination in smashing runs home can be seen in the gap of 23 runs between his 165 and the 142 compiled by Hal Trosky of Cleveland, who finished, second in Q race that wound up with first basemen in the first four spots. Next to Trosky came Henry Green berg of Detroit with 139, followed by Jimmy Foxx of. Philadelphia with 130. Passed Plenty
 Official averages released to-day, supplementing others of yesterday establishing Gehrig as batting, home run and total base champion, showed that he was second only to Foxx in number of bases on balls issued to him. Foxx was passed III times. Gehrig 109, Ruth 103 and Buddy Myer of Washington 102. No others topped the 100 mark. ny duuIiS Ine runs UdIleO III rS- cord for the season to others an- nounced yesterday-49 home runs, .363 in batting. 409 total bases Gehrig left little for other swift smiths in his league.

TEXANS SEEK
GOLD IN LAKE
Fortune Thrown in Water
by Santa Annals Army
Is Legend

HOUSTON, Texas, July %
CUP).-Salvage of S4,000,00O
worth of Mexican gold bars, said
to have been resting in the quick
sand at the bottom of Fish Hook
lake for nearly 100 years, is ex-
pected within the next few
weeks, according to Henry c.
Barnes, of Houston, who is di-
recting the search. -
Barnes said he and members Of
the searching party actually have
felt the gold, or some metallic
substance with pred poles. He
said it was resting in the quick
sand % feet below the surface.
He said it would be necessary to
sink a plank enclosed shaft to it.
OUICKSAND HANDICAP
Quicksand seeping in at the
bottom of the shaft will be dis
posed of by pumping water and
the quicksand and water out of
the other side of the shaft, Barnes
said.
Salvaging of the gold will mark
the end of a search started 80
years ago when an injured Mexi.
can gave Barnes a map, drawn on
a goat-skin, supposed to show the
exact location of the gold bars.
The bars were said to have been
thrown into the lake by the Mex
lean army about ten days before
the battle of San Jacinto.
ELUSIVE LAKE
Barnes said the map showed
the location of the gold, but failed
to show the exact lake beyond
showing that one of the clues to
the whereabouts of the treasure
was an anchor cut into a tree on
the bank of the lake.
The treasure hunter searched
in vain for the lake and only n
few months ago, while talking to
an old settler learned that such a
tree had been found on the banks
of Fish Hook lake years ago. The
tree had been cut down.
The lake itself and other mark
ings found on the banks of the
lake tailed exactly with those in
dictated on the map. ,...
About a month ago work of
draining the lake was begun.
Barnes and his assistants cut a
deep ditch nearly quarter of a
mile long to Spring creek and the
lake eventually drained itself.
Quicksand covering the bottom
presented an unforeseen obstacle
for the treasure hunters.
Hundreds of persons have visit
ed the scene where the men are
working.

been an easy out, but Williams
misiudged the fly and it fell for
a two-base hit, scoring both Fos-
ter and Jenkins. A minute later
Tollison stole third base and
scored on a wild pitch by Drake.
This sent Houston to the hill for
the locals. But he Jared little
better than Drake, giving up i've
runs and nine hits during the re-
mainder of the game.
Hendersonville scored all its
runs in the fifth inning on hits by
Capps, Williams, Orr, Crisp and
Albritain and an error by M. Bag

would some day fail and turn him
over to the authorities dead or
,, alive, he continued his maraud-
ings as the man against nation
and each of his escapades was
more daring than the ones proceed
ing it.
John Dillinger, 80 years old,
was not an incorrigible youth
when he attended school in
Mooresville, Ind, small farming
community.
When he was born in 1902 his
father, John w. Dillinger, was u
substantial farmer of the little
town, a man of good Quaker
stock. When the outlaw was three
years old his mother died and his
father moved to Indianapolis
where he opened a grocery store.
The 70-year-old father, who re-
turned to his farm at Mooresville
when John was IS years old,
blamed his sons waywardness to
the death of his mother and bad
company during his early years in
Indianapolis.
"John might have made a pref
ty good policeman" the aged IA
ther, bewildered by the savage
crimes laid to his boy, told a
friend recently.
In 1924 John Dillinger, just a
gangling country boy, ran afoul
the law for the first time. With
another village youth they way
laid and robbed a .651year-old
village merchant. They were rec
ognized.
Dillinger was given a 10 to 20
year sentence. His companion
turned states evidence and re-
ceived only short term.
81 got dirty DEAL" Dillinger
told parole board nine years
later. The bitterness never left
his heart.
In prison Dillinger wasn't a
model prisoner. Twice he at
tempted to escape.
In May, 1888, the village mer-
chant who had been his victim
and residents of Mooresville peti-
toned Gov. Paul V. McNutt-
himself native of the county
and a parole was granted.
Then, only four months after
his release, Dillinger was definite
w launched on his inplor;ons "a
reer of "big time'' crime.
