 Chase was picked up by poe lice yesterday in response to . wOman'S call that . man was on her lawn. He bore little resemblance to the man who was hailed aS the perfect stylist in major league infleIds during the era that produced Ty Cobb, Iris Speaker and HOnus Wag- ner.

 At the hospital, attendants said Chase sometimes talked ir- nationally but gave his name and address and said he for merIy was 2 major league base ball player. No relatives or friends had appeared early to- day.

 New York July 30-Two years ago, visions like this probably would have committed you to an institu- titon.
 The door of the New York Giants dressing room opens. Van Ltngle Mungo wslks in. No one reaches for a revolver There Is no odor of tar and feathers.
 Dick Bartell stands up. "Your lockers right next to mine, Van old scout" he beams.
 They smile, exchange little so- cial amenities. The room is heavy dith esprit de corps. It has come to pass. Mungo the Magnificent has been reincarnated at Coogan'S Bluff.
 The transition will alarm so- siologists. From near infancy, Mungo was trained by such gentle souls as Wilbert Robinson, Max Carey, Casey Stengel, Burleigh Grimes and Leo Durocher to loathe theh New Workers.
 His hate for the Giants is legen- dary. There was that charming afternoon when he dusted off Bartell and Rowdy Richard charged him with flashing spikes. The set-to terminated with Mungo clamping 8 half-Nelson on the noisy, little infielder and throttling him quite unmercifully.
 TERRY APPROVED
 BUNGO'S PITCHING
 Yet, if time will not heal these wounds, Mungo's fast ball will He comes highly recommended. Scout Dutch Reuther of the Chi cago Cubs calls him theh best pitcher in the minors" General Manager Bill Terry gave him personal once-over before the Giants bought him.
 Reports from Minneapolis, where he won II and lost 3 with the so-so Millers, say he is in perfectly work able condition. His main trouble there was his inability to stay at full strength throughout an entire game. He was invariably brilliant for six innings but hurled only three complete contests, one 8 shutout.
 Mungo still gets mad too easily, which won't do him any good if the Brooklyn jockeys go to work on him, Aug. }, when he is ex- pected to pitch against them in an Armmy Emergency Relief game.
 He has his fast ball and great curve, Is definitely not getting by on cute stuff.
 Whether or not he makes the grade with the New Yorks would seem to depend on his mental slant and If he is used in the proper spots.
 A renowned bad actor and play boy he went on a tear in Havana in l941 that was even too much for the lenient Brooklyns. In 1897, he launched a furniture breaking project in St. Louis which netted him lovely sinner Nand fine of 5000. He never took advantage of his full talents, lduBHeu HL LTalnlnB rules. NOW AN ABsTAINER AND A FAMILY MAN
 He claims he has not touched the hard stuff in almost. a year. | The first thing he did when he ar- rived in Minneapolis was to bring up his family from his Pageland, s. O., home.
 Mungo, 31, came up with Brook lyn in 1881. A 6-foot, 2-inch 2l0-pounder, he soon became the only true professional on the then-hapless Dodgers.
 He practically pitched his arm off for them, but never could reach his goal of 20 victories in a l A

Theft Brings
Fine Of $50
Hartford M0tOrist Must
Work Out Fine; Prose-
cutor Asks Severity

Richard Holleran, 43, of 40
Huntingdon street, Hartford,
was fined $50 and costs of
1922 on a charge of theft
of a parking meter when he
was arraigned in municipal
court today before Judge
John L. Gaffney. Prosecutor
Attorney Frederick w. Pa
lomba charged that an "epi-
demic of stolen meters" have
occurred in the city and that
it was necessary for severe prosecu-
ton of these offenders.
In passing sentence, Judg Gaff-
ney observed that the situation is
becoming acute" in the theft of
meters here and issued the penalty.
Holleran received 80 days on a
charge of drunkenness in addition
to the fine. The accused will work
out his fine at the rate Of 81 day
and will be kept in the New Haven
County Jail for little over three
months.
Patro1man Edmund Cass testified
he found Holleran in an alley OF
Scovill street last night attempting
to open a meter by flinging it
against the side of a building. The
accused was unable to open the
meter, although the face was
knocked out of the upper part of
the device.

Church, and Troop 80, of Salvation
Army.
Following is Mayor Scullys procla'
nation:
The Boy Scouts Of America, in
corporated February 8. 1910, and
chartered by Congress June Is,
1916, is celebrating it's thirty-sec-
and anniversary during Boy Scout
week from February to IL. In
the past 80 years the more than
ten million present Or former
members have rendered notable
service to our community and our
nation. Now that our country is at
war the Boy Scouts of America
are rendering noteworthy service.
They have placed over 100000
posters announcing the Savings
Bonds and Stamps; they have col
lected over ten million pounds of
aluminium or eighty per cent Of all
collected; they have collected tons
of sorely needed waste paper; they
. are collecting books for the armed
forces and waste paper, scrap metz
al and old rubber at the request of
the government.
In times of distress from floods,
hurricane, tornado and other dis
asters they have demonstrated the
effectiveness of organized boy
service. During the period of eco
nomic stress they contributed in
many ways to the relief of suf-
fering.
The Boy Scouts have also con-
tributed to a deepe appreciation
by the American people of tn
higher conception of good citizen
ship.
THEREFORE,, I, Vincent A..
Scully, MAYOR OF THE CITY
OF WATERBURY do hereby rec
ommend that the citizens Of the
City do whatevr they can to OBJ
serve Boy Scout Week and give
their support in strengthening the
work of the Boy Scouts of Ameri-
ca, particularly through the Mat
tatuck Council which administers
the Boy Scout program in this
community.
earnestly recommend that our
civic organizations, our churches
and our schools cooperate in car
rying out program for a definite
recognition of the effective serv-
ice rendered by the Boy Scouts of
America in order that the work Of
the. Boy Scout Program may be
extended to larger proportion Of
the boyheod of this Community.
The Boy Scout movement offers
unusual opportunity for volunteer
service. 1t needs men to serve in
various capacities as leaders of
boys. I hope that all who can,
will, through the organizations
with which they are connected,
enlist for such personal service.
Anything that is done to increase
the effectiveness of the Boy Scouts
of America is genuine contribu-
ton to the welfare of the Com
munity, the State, and the Nation.
In witness whereof have here
unto set my hand and caused the
seal of this Community to be af-
fixed.
