reached for a light switch, by
mistake turned on a telegraph call

he found the store dark, called
police and the latter seized the
surprise Bradford and a truck ID
had loaded with $1,000 equipmeat.
Unwittingly Bradford had nego-
tiated his own arrest.

Feet in Good Shape.

TOR all of the order he is expected
to fill the tWo-time former batting
champion joins the Nationals as if he
genuinely were glad. Detroit didn't
need outfelders. The Tigers still have
Gerald Walker, Jo-Jo White, Goose
Goslin, Chet Laabs and Pete Fox. AS
q matter of fact, Simmons not only
was not needed, but was unWanted by
Detroit fandom, which from the start
resented his purchase in the Winter
OF 1885 from Chicago.
Behind the deal can be traced the
fine Italian hand of Manager Bucky
Harris. Displeased with Fred Sington's
work this Spring, he replaced the big
Alabama boy with Rookie Taft Wright.
The kid not only was green, but an
other left-handed hitter. A week ago
negotiations for Simmons acquisition
were opened. Yesterday, prior to a
game in which Harris was ready to
try Jesse Hill in the outfeld, Cochrane
walked over to Griffith's box and said,
''You can have that fellow, Griff.'
Washington is not getting, of course,
the ball player who helped to bat
the Athletics of 1929, 1880 and 1881
into world series. Simmons has slowed
since those bright days, but he
firmly believes that he has four or
flve good years ahead of him. MY
feet, which caused most of my trouble,
are better now than in years" SIM
mons commented today. Il think I'll
help this club"

Slumped With SOx in '35.

LIE WAS to get his first chance
to help today against the Cardi-
mails. For a week there has been
something amiss with the Washington
attack. On paper the Mats had plenty
of power, but in three of their last
seven games they got only two runs.
In two other games they got only
four runs. Little wonder four in a
row and five of six were dropped.
Simmons, whose surname is Szyman-
ski, broke into professional base ball
in 1922 with Aberdeen. He moved to
Philadelphia and spent nine years
with Connie Mack, for whom he rose
to his greatest glory. Never playing
less than 100 games, Al hit 1903 in
his first season and never was under
.343 until 1882, when Mack sold him
to Chicago after he batted 1922, With
Simmons in the sale went Mule
Haas and Jimmy Dykes and the price
was 100000. In 1880 and 1881 he
won the American League batting
championships with 1881 and 800,
respectively. Another year he batted
1893 and, again, 1886.
The White Sox expected big things
OF Al, too big, in fact. He hit .331
and .344 his first two years, but
slumped to .267 in 1885. which was
the only season he ever hit below
800 in IS years of professional ball.
That Winter he was sold by Dykes
to Detroit. He probably wasn't worth
t,,+ HI ,,,
of Tom Yawkey's dizzy price of
$250,000 for Joe Cronin and ball
players came high.
Evening star., 1937-04-05

When he came back to his
locker he said, simply, I'm glad.
He'll, Detroit didn't wan me
whole lot and l always hit swell
in the Washington park. Think
I'll make the team"
He wasn't sarcastic. He asked II
honestly because Al, like a lot of other
ball players, doesn't follow too closely
the fortunes of rival clubs. He didn't
know that Clark Griffith bought him
out of desperation. Fred Sington had
failed. The Mats were afraid of Hill
That rookie, Taft Wright. was prom
ising but green. Think he'll make the
team? Bucky Harris showed how A,
figured when yesterday he switched
Johnny Stone to right field.
I'm Not Washed Up"
LIE WAS expected, of course, to tel
a reporter it was the best break OF
his life. That's stock expression when
a fellow is traded to another team
But Al didn't say it only to reporters
Tigers and Mats, hearing the news
walked off the field and extended Their
grimy, sWeaty paws in hail and fare
we'll. When Bill Rogell did it Al said
"The best break I ever got Bill"
you know" he added, after
Rogell left, 1--WE heard a lot
about how nice it is to play for
Bucky Harris. Now I'm going to
do it. He must be something like
Mike (Cochrane),
