GRAN DM0THER STEALS
FOOD FOR CHILDREN;
GROCER SENDS MORE

By nitCd Press
SAN DIEGO, Cal, March "a
gray-haired woman Of so, willing
to rob rather than see her grand
children go hungry, today had
plenty of food for the youngsters
after attempting to hold up a
grocery.
Mrs. Louise Knappe walked into
T. B. Perkins grocery with baby
under her arm and ordered some
milk and oranges.
The grocer wrapped up the or
der, held out his hand for pay
ment. Mrs. Knappe produced a
toy pistol, shouted III kill you if
you try to take these away" and
backed from the store.
Perkins called police who found
her at home.
The baby had no food for four
days and 7 had to get him some
thing" she told officers.
Later the grocer, with the aid
of several policemen, carried over
a large box of food and assured
her again she could get what she
needed for the children from him.
Police said that Mr.. Perkins
asked them to forget they had
been called.

They don't expect Mr.. Roosevelt
to make any move that way I'M
til after election, when he prob
ably will present a proposal for
scientific taxation in which Fed

ordinated.
Of course, if the "share-the-

late and numerous in the mean
time, some prediction tax move
may be necessary.
The current state of low morale
in Washington probably is only
temporary. You may remember
that the Administration seemed in
a bad way in the fall of 1888.
His admirers insist there's still
a lot of bounce in the President.

cavorting between the midway

Then followed three line-drive
singles and one run scored. The
feature of that series was the
throwing of Rollie Hemsley, who
picked several runners off the
bases.
Steals Home on CrOnin
Was that the feature? Well, not
quite. The big feature and the
biggest laugh was when Lyn Larry
stole home from third base as Joe
Cronin held the ball in his hands.
The Browns got a cheap run in
the second inning of the first
game. With Cliff on third base,
Andrews bunted toward third base.
Whitehill fielded the ball to the
plate where Holbrook made a dis
NAL muff, permitting Cliff to
score.
The Browns got only one run
out of four hits in the opening
frame of the opener. Larry hit
safely to Travis, who cut off q
double. Outfield singles followed,

Miles on second base, Kuhel drove
West back to the fence and Miles
came half way up. If he stayed on
second he could have advanced
after the catch and given Powell
a chance to run. If the ball was
droped he could get home on his
hands and knees, giving Powell a
chance to get to third. Since a
single followed, two runs would
have counted for the game.
Lyn Larry lost what looked like
double when Travis grabbed his
