Captured.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, June 15.-Hed
prisoners for nearly IS hours by an
escaped Texas convict, three Iowa
men were released here early today,
and Is minutes later the abductor
was captured.
Release of the three men, Elmer
Schleuter, Davenport, Iowa, police
man; Al Schultze, secretary treasurer
OF the Davenport base ball club, and
Dr. w. H. Fitch, Walcott, Iowa, vet
erinarian, ended a night of anxiety
for their safety and terminated a
widespread search for them by Fed
eraI agents and posses.
Escaped Convict.
The abductor was identified by
police as Joe Palmer, 80, who with
four other men escaped from the
Eastman, Tex, prison farm last
February 16, after killing guard.
Schultze said he believed Palm
SI > Il1OGlNC LII hl041dpnlS OAAO A4SA
was to escape Identification. He
quoted the abductor as saying he
wished to get to st. Joseph for he
had connections" there.
The kidnapping of Schultze and
Schleuter took place in front of the
Western League base ball park at
Davenport.
The patrolman approached Palmer
to question him. But Palmer drew
a pistol from his pocket and forced
the officer to stop. When Schultze
approached in his motor car Palmer
forced the policeman into 1t and
ordered Schultze to drive.
Palmer complained about the con-
dition of the machine and near Wal
colt stopped DR.. Fitch and COM
mandeered his coupe. He forced the
officer into the rear compartment OF
the coupe and ordered DR.. Fitch and
Schultze to take turns at driving.
Tells of Ride.
I'VE zigzagged here and there"
Schultze said. I'VE travelled all the
time. We must have gone at least
buy himself a candy bar, but bought
no food for us.
Palmer never really got rough with
us-in fact, we gave him no reason to.
1.-The doctor made a hit with him.
He didn't like me because I was a
friend of the policeman-andh he said
he hated cops
He and the doctor talked about
the medical profession and got real
chummy on the subject"
When the kidnaper and his victims
arrived here, Palmer said he would let
the three men have the motor car If
they would promise to go back to
Davenport. When Palmer started on
walking, the men reported the kid
naping to police. About IS minutes
later the convict was taken prisoner.

BY F. A. WRAY

LONDON, July 81 (I.N.S0!-1n
a day Of vast surprises, Americas
track prestige sustained two major
shocks this afternoon as oxford
and Cambridge defeated Cornell
and Princeton in their interna-
tional dual games, seven first
places to five, and Bill Bonthron.
Princeton'S great ace, went down
again before Jack Lovelock, Of Ok
ford, over the mile distance.
Lovelock, who defeated Bonth-
ron at Princeton last year in the
the then world record time,
4:O7 As, repeated today when even
his strongest adherents didn't
give him more than a fighting
chance.
Needs Only Chance
But apparently this was all the
man from down under" needed.
Weakened by q more or less re-
cent operation on his knee, he
faced q Bonthron who had been
running to worlds record time in
America and apparently was un-
beatable. Nevertheless, Lovelock
ranged in behind the Tiger and
patiently dogged his pace for
three-quarters, thereby repeating
the routine Of last ears race. He
then came with a rush through
the last lap, managed to get ahead
Of Bill and stayed there. although
the American, two yards back at
the head Of the stretch, challenged
gamely, to finish less than a yard
back.
The time-Lovelock, 4:15 40,
and Bonthron, Ais 6-10-waS fast,
considering the condition Of the
track at the White City Stadium.
Almost as great a surprise was
the defeat Of the Americans for
the team prize. They had been
expected to clean up rather
handily. But then Bonthron' had
been expected to win the 880-yard
race and one mile and he did
neither. He failed to come back
at all off his mile defeat and was
beaten in the half mile by Stot-
hard, Cambridge, in the very slow
time Of 1853 6-10.
Kane Defeat Is Upset
The defeat of R. J. Kane,
Cornell, in the 220-yard dash by
E. I. Davis, Cambridge, was an
other shock to the Americans.
Kane previously had won the
quarter mile in fast time while
Davis had been beaten in the 100.
yard dash by Dick Hardy, Cornell.
AL told, the victory of the
British was largely contributed by
Cambridge athletes, although K.
8. Duncan, Oxford, came through
with a useful victory toward the
close in the running broad jump,
and the American Rhodes scholar,
won the low hurdles in "a 4-10.
The American victories were
scored by Hardy in the hundred;
Kone in the quarter mile, ]. A.
McWilliams, Princeton, in the
pole vault: F. e. Burnham,
Princeton, in the shot put, and
C. T.. Scott, Cornell, in the high
Jump.
