New Britain, March 24-Mrs. Wil- liam Bloudin of i4 Highland street complained to police Sunday that her husband, from whom she has been parted several weeks, came here during the afternoon and "stole" their child from her and that a man who was with him throttled her and knocked her down in helping to make possible the snatching of the child. Warrants will probably be issued for both men, police said.
 According to the woman's story to Policeman Delbert Veley she was married in Waterbury and lived there until the middle of February She and her husband had difficul- ties, she claimed, and 1t became ne- cessary for her to have him brought into court on ron-support charge. He was ordered to pay weekly sum for the support of his wife and child and the couple went on living together. Then, one night, when she returned she found her husband and his belongings gone. Soon after that she moved here to live with her sister. Her husband formerly owned barber shop in Waterbury but later gave this up and worked as a church janitor, she related.
 Sunday her sister and brother in-law went out for a ride, leaving her in the home with her two years -old child. She believes her husband must have been watching and waiting with the other man for such an opportunity. The child was playing on the back porch at IA Highland street and Mrs. Bloudin went into the house to get some more toys for him.
 When she tried to return to the porch she found the door blocked against her and could hear activity outside. In a few moments the door was opened to her and she saw her husband hurrying off with the child. The man with him, she told police, grabbed her by the throat and finally knocked her to the floor of the porich. By this time her husband had evidently reached

NEW YORK In p little less
than 10 days the old guy with
the scythe who is known as father
time has put an end to 100000
worth of the boldest, gsudiest and
most expensive attempt to buy a
pennant that baseball ever has
known and probably ever will
know.
That is the $4,000,000 noble ex-
pertinent carried out by Tom Yaw-
key with the Boston Red Sox as
the guinea pig. 1t lasted for six
years and technically speaking 1t
failed because not even millions
of dollars and dozens of great
stars could boost the Sox to the
top rung of the American league
ladder where Yawkey wanted
them. And now it's all over.
It's over because In just a
few days more than week

an active player.
For when the Sox take the field
for their 1912 opener there will
be new man at first base in
place of Jimmy Foxx. Another
new player will have been assigned
to the shortstop slot where the
fans have long been accustomed
to watching Joe Cronin. And al
though he hasn't been officially
designated as yet, there'll be a
third new man in the pitchers box
to take over the chores of old
Nose Grove.
Boston obviously will regret the
passing of these men who are
recognized as stars as bright as
any the game has produced, but
most of the fans have seen il
coming because they know that
the old guy with the scythe can
be evaded only so long. In the
