woes of the four Cub md three

Morton Cooper, the Cards ace
highlander suffering sore jaw

the second inning and was replaced
by Brecheen with two out after
the Cubs had scored a pair of runs
in each of the first and second
innings on six hits, a hit batsman
and walk.
The Cards buckled down in the
fourth, scoring twice, then went
ahead for the first time in the Fifth
when tt%y batted out Henry Wyse.
the Cubs starting pitcher, n d
worked Hy Vandenberg for a walk
and two hits to add four more
runs.
From then on it was a succession
of pitching and base runping with
the chances only for the team
ahead at the right time. On that
basis it looked good for the Cubs
after they scored three runs in
the eighth and led 9 to 2, but it
wasn't that kind of game, and the
Cards turned it around in the same
inning by chasing over three of
their own.

COOKS HIMSELF
A STEAK

VAN DYKE - There was a
certain savoir de faire about
Julius Quirouet that would have
appealed TO George Rector, but
it didn't win admiration from
Prosecutor Wilbur F.. Held, who
is no gourmet.
According TO Held's allega-
tons, Quirouet, 17-year-old Van
Dyke youth, broke into Thelma 5
Cafe, 2093 Van Dyke, on a re
cent evening, and with all the
finesse of an accomplished chef,
prepared himself a satisfying
meal.
First he chose a choice T-bone
steak from the refrigerator
turned on the stove and warmed
up the grill. Then he sizzled the
steak till the appetizing aroma
filled the darkened restaurant,
and let it simmer while he lined
up all the trimmings for a
hearty meal.
After Quirouets elmer man"
was well fortified, Held alleges,
the youths fancy turned TO more
lucrative pursuits. He jimmied
open a music box in the restaur
ant, pocketed about $40 and
left the establishment, presum-
ably without washing any disn-
es, and with toothpick between
his teeth.
Breaking and entering at
nighttime was the substance of
Held's warrant issued after Dep
uty Sheriff George Collins traced
the hungry burglar and arrested
him.
Appearing Monday before
Justice Frank E. Jeanette,
Quirouet, who lives at 1908
Rivard, waived examination on
the charge and was sent TO the
county jail to await a Circuit
Court appearance in lieu CT
81 500 bond.
Incidental 10 the case accord
ing TO Prosecutor Held and Sher-
if Jacob F. Theut is the youth s
admission that he has been in
volved in Give or six window
peeping cases recently. NO
charges in this respect have been
placed against him TO date.

used to take 20 minutes to tie
