fellow officers took the prisoners
back to face murder trial.
Arrested early yesterday at Appa-
lachia, Va, they were whisked back
across the border to Cumberland
KY, where Hoback's aunt had
turned up" to police the car In
which they had driven up.
The Loudoun County officers
driving from LeeSburg, arrived about
noon. and almost Immediately start
ed back into Virginia with the boys
who said they were willing to return
and didn't haggle over word called
'extradition. which seemed strange
to them. During the afternoon the
officers and their prisoners drove the
nearly 100 miles from Cumberland
to Bristol. They stayed in Bristol
all night, while investigators, ex-
hausted by sleepless nights, got
some rest. their prisoners locked in
the county jail. The trip, with $50
miles to 60 was resumed by auto
mobile about $50 o'clock this morn
ing.
Use of Alias Admitted.
As the boys were being taken from
the Bristol Jail to start on the
journey to Leesburg, Peters admitted
that his real name is Herbert Buck
Porter, and that his home is in the
$500 block of Webster street, Brent
wood. State Trooper Edwin Helm
said the youth told him this morning
that he had been going under the
alias of Tommy Peters.
The officer said the boy told him
he had a father and mother at the
Brentwood address
cat the home OF Herbert Porter,
3510 Webster street, Brentwood,
woman who described herself as
a friend of the family" but re-
fused to give her name, said Mr..
Porter left this morning for Lees
burg to determine for himself
whether the prisoner was his son.
She explained that Mrs. Porter.
the youths mother, was unable to
see visitors because she was ill)
Porter attended Langley Junior
High School in Washington from
January, 1888, until June, 1910,
Harry Baker, principal, said. Dur
ing his last semester he was warned
for frequent absences, according to
school records.
Kept Vigil Five Hours.
After questioning Hoback and
Porter for more than two hours here
late yesterday, Mr.. Harrison said
the boys had not altered essentially
their first verbal confession of an
attack on Mr.. Loveless, robbery and
some shooting" but the prosecutor
did reveal their admission to these
additional circumstances:
They told him they had kept
watch on the Loveless home for five
hours. through a chill night, wait
ing in the garage for him to return.
They wanted him to return, the
prosecutor said the boys told him.
because Hoback. who had worked
for Mr.. Loveless and had been dis
charged for shiftlessness, knew the
lawyer often carried 5000 to $500 in
his wallet. But they got tired of
waiting, according to their story, and
finally broke into the house through
q window and started looking
around, though they had no inten-
ton of leaving until the owner re-
turned.
Mr.. Harrison said. in this connec-
tion, that the earlier belief that
marauders had helped themselves to
some tequila which Mr.. Loveless had

from the interrogation, the boys
looked downcast Hoback, the
smaller-dark, stocky, wearing a
sweater-tried, as the officers said,
to look hard boiled But he looked
only respondent and apprehensive.
Porter, much the taller. and re-
garded by investigators as the domi-
nant spirit of the pair, seemed, as
an officer said, quiet and nice as

slight of build, with meek sort of
voice.
The boys were held incommuni-
cado. allowed to see no one but the
officers who had them in custody.
There was chicken on the Jail
dinner menu and they were re-
ported to have gone after it hun
grily.
The boys were placed in separate
cell blocks.
Hoback played cards on the floor
with some fellow prisoners, though
without much zest.
Porter climbed into an upper bunk
early and tried to sleep.
Hobacks head bore several
patches. According to his confess
sion, the pistol went off while he
was struggling with Mr.. Loveless
and bullet grazed his head

the man who could handle more
jobs well.
The list was longer than you might
think. The Squire of Orlando pom
dered this problem.
First of ALL" Joe said, "there
was Babe Ruth. He started as a
pitcher, and still holds the best FIVE
year winning average in baseball
a great left-hander. Then he became
a star outfielder--and I mean one
of the best-and he vas a good first
baseman. He was the greatest home
run hitter of all time, and that's a
tough record to beat"

he had collected up sufficient
courage to ask her the most
momentous of all questions.

began, "but there comes a time
when one longs for the COM

The Discussion Goes On

Ty Cobb, one of basebalTs i'm

was solely a pitcher. So was Mat
ty. Grover Alexander. Cy Young and
Lefty Grove. Nap Lajoie was a
great infielder. iris Speaker and
Joe Jackson we're among the best
outfielders-as is Joe DiMaggio to-
day.
Cobb, of course. was something
apart on attack-the greatest run
getter that ever lived. But the argu-
ment was about the all-around en-
tries-those who had the chance to
prove they could star at many posi-
tions.
l also nominated John Montgom-
cry Ward of Providence and the
old New York Giants.

er said.

at least two no-hit games. n Of

Ell years.
We finally settled OF the Big Three
for all-around ability-Ruth, Wag-
ner and Sisler.
All were great hitters-among the
greatest. Two Of them-Ruth and
Sisler-were star pitchers. although
Sisler never had the chance Babe
had to prove his ability along this
line. Wagner and Sisler were two
of the best base runners in baseball.
Ruth, with his 230 to 250-pound body
operating on slender ankles. was out
of the running here.
Wagner was never a pitcher, but
he proved that he could handle the
eight remaining jobs, as well as lead
his league at bat year after year
and run bases like a scared coyote.
There are many others-Rhody
Wallace, an old-timer; Jimmy Foxx
Of the Red Sox; Bucky Walters Of
the Reds; Freddy Lindstrom Of the
Giants; and many more.
But the Triple Top remain as stat.

Il was thinking about old Hans"
Tinker said. HE was known as a
great shortstop-probably the great
est. But did you know he had starred
in every position on the club except
in the box? He played every out
field position, including catcher. He
led his league in batting for sever
or eight years. And he used to steal
from so to 60 bases a season. There
was a ball player. Better than Babe

Then they moved him to first base,
where he is one Of the few to chal-

BY VIM. F. MCKINNEY America's Card Authority

The World Bridge Olympic is per- haps the most unusual bridge con- test held during the year. At 8:0i D. m. Thursday, April 1T, bridge players throughout the world will sit down to play l6 selected hands. Immediately after the contest, the scores of all the players will be mailed to the Olympic committee in New York for grading-and thus the winners of the World Bridge Olym- pic will be selected.
 The hands are taken from sev- eral thousand gathered by the com mittee during the year. Here is hand No. 4 of last years Olympic. The committee did not prescribe the bid- ding. The intended contract is three no trump by West.
 If North opens the queen of spades, declarer should see that 1t is advisable to duck one round of the suit sometime. The general plan is to develop the clubs first, and for this purpose there is some tempta- ton to put the king on the opening lead, so as to start the clubs at once. What happens If this temptation is not resisted was discovered by many players.
