Bert Connely saw Mexican leave
the house of G.. C. Reed just outside
of the east city limits of Brawley
shortly before o'clock Thursday
afternoon. Short and Tom Greer,
Brawley police officer who was not
armed because he was not on duty,
answered Connely's call.
They tracked the swiftly fleeing
burglar down canal banks and thru
brush by the marks of tennis shoes
he was wearing, Chief Cromer said
They sighted him five miles south
of Brawley and shot at him five
times before he stopped.
mo bullets! No bullets!" the fugi-
tive said as the officers reached
his side. Short relaxed his vigi-
lance. The Mexican stepped for
ward, snatched the gun from Short
and again sprinted out of sight
The officers went back to Brawley
for help.
Chief Cromer telephoned the
sheriff's office and then joined
Officers Joe Bagard and Bill Sui
Inns, Police Commissioner Henry
Archias and Elmer Sears to pick
up the trail of the man they said
could run with the swiftness of a
deer.
The posse from Brawley followed
the tennis shoe tracks to a point
few miles north of where Ware
and Kulinovirh saw Mexican
standing in the brush between a
barley field and the desert two and
one half miles east of Imperial
Ware decided the Mexican had no
business to be standing out in the
brush.
Come out of that brush" Ware
called.
Come and get me-" shouted the
man in Spanish.
Kulinovich and Ware stepped out
OF the car and the deputy fired
just as the Mexican pulled two guns
and opened fire. This shot of
the deputies is believed to have
been the one that saved the sher-
iff's life by DETECTING the aim of
the Mexican. Ware fired his re-
volver and then went to the car
fol a riot gun loaded with
buckshot. He fired again at the
man. as he fled through the brush.
Ware and Kulinovich circled the
Mexican and came upon him Writh-
ing in the dust with Shorts gun,
a % pistol used to kill dogs, and
his own, Luger, lying by his side.
The Mexican is about % year old,
Ware said.
Chief Cromer said the tennis
shoe tracks connected the wounded
man with the burglary of the home
OF A. L. Sebille, Brawley city at
torney, Wednesday night and the
looting Of Gabards home several
weeks ago. Wednesday night, Gro
mer said, Brawley police chased
the tennis shoe burglar" along the
400 block of street. When he

Boston Nationals Have Won 22 of Last 30 Starts

They're still chasing after the Cubs on the National merry-go- round but brass ring appears to be the exclusive possession of the Bos- ton Bees, possessor of pitching staff that is "pure poison" to the rest of the league. Dannie MacFayden, Lou Fette, Jim Turner, Johnny Lanning, and Garbo Gabler, without the back ing of batting, have burned up the loop in drive that has fyrocketed the Bees from the deepest niche in the cellar, on June 27, to their pres ent position where they are flirting with the first division.
 The Bees have won g of 30 starts, allowing only 81 runs in 270 innings. They climaxed their drive yester- day by taking both ends of double header from Pittsburgh.

Sport Stunts

About the middle of last season it appeared that Bill Dietrich, the bespectacled righthanded hurler, was at the end of the trail. Connie Mack had weakened on him after half dozen seasons and passed him to the Washington Senators. He proved little help to Washington. Clark Griffith asked waivers on him with the idea of sending Bill along to Albany. All American League clubs with the exception of the Chi cago White Sox were willing to pass him. Manager Johnny Dykes sign ed Dietrich at the waiver price. There must have been many times this spring when Dykes had his doubts about Dietrich. But he never quit working on the big fellow It must have given Dykes great per- sonal satisfaction to see Bill crash into baseballs hall of fame with his no-hit, no-run performance against the St. Louis Browns. Die trich beat the BroN.is, so, and com Ipletely throttled a team that in- cludes some mighty hefty sluggers in Bell Vohmik, West, Knicker- booker and Hemsley. Dietrich's gem was the first of it's kind in the [ American League since Vernon Kennedy, his White Sox teammate. turned the trick against the Cleve- land Indians August 3l, 1885.
 The White Sox have had more than their share of no-hit, no-run pitchers. Starting with Jimmy Cal- lahan in 1902, the Pale Hose have come up with eight hurlers who have turned in no-hit, no-run per- formances. Frank Smith did it in 1905 and repeated in 1908. Big Ed Walsh contributed his in 1911 Ed die Cicotte, later ruled out of the game with his fellow Black Sox
 got his in 1917.
 Charley Robertson in 1922 blank ed Detroit 20, in Chicago with out allowing man to reach first. In 1926 Ted Lyons contributed his classic Then Kennedy and Die- trich added their achievements.
