POCKET PICKING
PICKING UP FOR
Dips, is CLAIM
Shift That Wallet to Some
Other Hideout Police
Warn.
BY SAM TYNDALL

Where do you carry your wallet?
II 1t Is the left rear pocket. you had
better change it right now to the
right. That's tip from Indian
apolis police, for pickpocketing is on
the pickup.
Pocket picking is, in sense, one
OF the lost arts. because the talent
and igenuity of latter days is no
more. But the practitioners, if not
total thefts, have increased.
While the art formerly required
stud or stickpin, snatch a watch
present generation is content with
sneaking a wallet from the left hip
pocket, police have found.
They have logical explanation
for the increase. They say a few
years ago expert dips were big
shot" and jumped into the boot
logging and auto theft rackets.
How the Dip Works
Repeal ruined booze running, and
the Omen cracked down on inter-
state auto thefts. The dips had TO
go back to leather lifting"
The first thing for the citizen to
beware of is the stall" who blocks
your passage in revolving doors and
elevators. He may drop his glass
es, step on your toe or shove you.
His confederate, the tool" mean
while has lifted the wallet and
slipped it to the getaway" The
whole procedure takes only few
seconds.
A pickpocket must be caught in
the act before he can be convicted,
so the victim should not become
confused or angry when a hefty
man steps on his favorite corn i'll
revolving door.
Hard to Keep Locked Up
Detective Capt. Herbert Fletcher
can detect a pickpocket at long
range. A four man squad of police
Is assigned to pickpockets here.
Although pickpockets are I'M
usually known to police, keeping
them behind bars in Herculean
task.
The dips are usually rounded up
and detained under vagrancy
charges in advance of public af
fairs where large numbers of per-
sons are expected to congregate.
Here Are Some Good Tips
Although 10000 persons flushed
with holiday money attended last
years Speedway races, there was
only one wallet reported missing and
police think 1t was lost.
Police from other cities CO.
operated with the pickpocket squad
here in rounding up all known
pickpockets and keeping them be-
hind bars until the visitors had
gone.
Police have the following sugges-
tons for the prospective victim: Be
alert in a crowd. Watch out for
the joStler; he may not be as awk-
ward as he acts. Be suspicious of
the stranger who follows you to and
from bank. Change the wallet to
the right hip pocket.

Today is the ninety first ami
versary of the birth Of Capt.
Thomas E. Halls, (above) who for
merly was chief of the Indiana
branch of the United States Sc
cret Service. He lives in retire
ment at 1926 Ruckle-st.
Today he said he might be feel
ing little better except for that
Jesse James bullet that went
through him one time when he
was hunting the gang in Kansas
and was ambushed. The captain
was a detective for more than so
years. Once he set up as physi-
clan in Chicago to catch a coun-
terfeit gang. He got an emergency
maternity case, had to admit he
wasn't a physician and narrowly
missed being prosecuted.

"Knocky" Thomas, who was
the first string catcher for Mary

ton.
The champion of Section B OF

Injuries Cause
Of Cardinals
SevereSIunnp

Despite the widespread and firm
conviction of recent days that the
Cards would win the National
League pennant, a safe assump-
tion today seems to be that they
won't finish anywhere near it.
You don't need any qualifying
'if" on that one. 1t just happens
that the Cards and American
League Tigers have suffered the
same fate this season - an cpl
demic of injuries which either
helped to bring on or heightened
sudden and severe slumpS.
That the Tigers couldn't come
back seemed obvious weeks ago
when Cochrane and Greenberg,
among others, were stricken, and
that the Cards won't seem inev-
itably now in view of the heat
the Giants and Cubs have turned
on.
Tigers Fade Early
But while the Tigers began to
fade early, the Cards were con-
tenders as late as last week. 1t took
six straight defeats for them and
Is straight wins for the Giants
and seven straight for the Cubs
to change the entire complexion
of the National League race.
The Cards virtually were count
ed out yesterday. when they we're
shut out for the second time in
a row. The Bees did it Thursday
and the PhilS were the perpetra-
tors yesterday. 8 to o, on Bucky
Walters six-hit pitching.
This seems to leave the matter
entirely up to the Giants and
Cubs. BY that defeat the cards
dropped four games behind the
lead. The Cubs stayed three
games from the top.

80 was delivered when H e a d

The present selections are ten

there may be shifts from one

ure up to them. The selections
include, however, the players upon

Granville Races
Discovery at
Saratoga
BY LOU BINDMAN

NEW YORK, Aug. 29.-Mighty
Discovery, champion of handicap
thoroughbredS, and Granville, un-
disputed king of the 1886 3-year-
oldS, will match strides over a
grueling mile and six furlong route
this afternoon-closing day of Sar-
atoga'S brilliant 28-day race
meeting.
The $25,OO0 guaranteed Hopeful
Stakes for 2-year-oldS, fourth
on the six-race program, is the
high-light of the afternoon as far
as monetary angles are concerned,
but the long awaited battle be-
tween Discovery and Granville in
the $4,000 added classic Saratoga
Cup race, will be the real feature.
Discovery and Granville are the
only starters in the Spa fixtures.
Alfred G. VEnderDilt's 5-year-old
son of Display is in we'll at scale
weight of 1875 pounds, one of the
lighteSt burdens he has carried in
years; while Granville, Belair
Studs son of Gallant Fox, is in
with 116. At the weights, Discov-
cry should win easily over the long
route.
Wide-Open Affair
The six and half furlong Hope
full is a fairly wide-open affair.
Top weight of 122 pounds has
been awarded to Maedic, the Mae
mere Farms four-stake winner,
with Col. E. R. Bradley's Billion.
aire and the Milky Way Farms
DogaWay, both in with 119. A
total of II 2-year-old hopefuls
have been named for the event,
with Maedic and Billionaire hav
ing a decided edge on past per
formances.
Dark horses" in the field are
Marshall Fields Charing Cross
and Sir Damion, both highly i'm
presSive in recent triumphs. An
other possibility is the Calumet
Farms fleet Galsun. The others
j. M. Lofts Mosawtre and VAN,
C. v. Whitney's Flying Cross, A.
G. Vanderbilt's Tedious and Trau-
love, coupled in the betting with
Maedic, loom only as outside
chances.
The $4,000 Fall River Handicap,
at mile and sixteenth, tops the
card at Narragansett Park. Mrs.
F. A. Carreaud's Time Supply,
highly-consistent Stakewinnig son
of Time Maker, has drawn top
weight of 1875 pounds in the field
of Is, but his task is none too
easy.
Time Supply will receive stern
opposition from D. Christmas
Accolade, recipient of an eight
pound weight pull, and the rap
idly improving Whitney entry of
Roustabout and Piccolo. Other
possibilities in the field are Lynx
Eye, Dark Hope, New Deal,
Emileo and Count Morse.
Weak Field COmpetes
An unusually weak field will
compete for the $4,000 added
prize in the Great Western Handi-
cap at Washington Park. Outstand-
ing over a comparatively dull lot
is A. Pelleteri'S Whereaway and
L. Carter's Black Gift. Black
Gift seems to have a decided
edge over the field of eight in
the mile and an eighth event.
Whereaway, a streak over shorter
distances, may not like the added
route. A muddy oval, however,
makes this race, as it does all
other races run over ill-conditioned
tracks, a toss-up.
Detroit's feature event will be
the $500 added Mackinac Handi-
cap, a SiX-furlong dash for 3-year-
olds and up. Sixteen have been
nominated for the sprint with top
weight going to the Motor City's
Appealing, stake winner at Mar
raganSett last week.
