CLASS LEAGUE
WHIPS HANOVER

Glass A league softball is better
than Hanover loop softball. That
was proven last night when the
best players in the Class A cir
cult whipped the best performers
in the Hanover loop, 8-5, at Robert
Strange park.
Both All-Star aggregations hit
hard last night. the Hanover team
getting eight hits off Leon Thomas.
while the Class A slugger blasted
Davis and Butler for nine taps.
The Hanover team gave the
Class A outfit a real scare in the
first inning by scoring three mark
ers before the Class A batsmen
could get hold Of war clubs.
But when the Glass A smackers
did blast the apple they did it in
style. They racked up one run in
the last of a SO lead which they
never relinquished. The Hanover
All-Star closed the Glass AS lead
ership margin to one run in the
sixth. but three fast counters in
the last Of the sixth clinched the
first al1-star tussle between the
two local softball leagues.
Jerry Thibideau led the Hanover
hitters with two singles in two ap-
pearances at the plate. The Class
A Loops best batsman was Nc
Fsdder with two for two also.
Doubles by Thomas, Taylor, Farm
er and a triple by Blinn were the
only extra base hits OF the ball
game.

TAKES $1,000,
HAS GOOD TIME

CLEVELAND, Aug. 20-U3-A
slight, timid-appearing man today
surrendered to police and admitted
he had embezzled $4,000 from a
Florida bank and spent every
cent of it with a honey-blonde girl
doing the things 1 always wanted
to do-travel, drink and gamble"
Roy Bruck, 26, married and the
father of two daughters, walked
into Central Police headquarters
here and after asking questions to
assure himself it was the right
place, confessed to the theft from
the Lake Worth, Fla, First Ma
tional bank.
IT was a trusted employe of the
bank until July &c." he said. ION
that day, instead of transferring
$4,000 to another department, I
took it and left town."
IT didn't tell my wife and two
small daughters goodbye" he con-
tinued. IT don't know why I left
without even a phone call. I have
not got a dime left. ] spent the
money like water. I can't explain
why I did it."
The FBI at Lake Worth claimed
that Bruck not only made off with
the cash but took an attractive girl
with him.
Bruck, formerly of Cleveland,
admitted leaving Lake Worth with
the blonde, whom police here iden-
titled as Dorothy Stanley. Bruck
said he "made the rounds" with
the girl from Las Vegas to Miami
night clubs and to Atlanta from
where they flew to Dallas. Police
here said as far as they knew the
girl was back in Lake Worth and
added they weren't interested in
her.
Federal agents also identified
the confessed embezzler as a one
time "house man" for various
gambling spots and an expert at
bridge. Bruck said he lost $500
of the banks money at Las Vegas,
New, gambling tables.
Il have no regrets" Bruck said.
Il had a good time travelling
around the country and spending
the money. I got rid of most of it
by gambling at Las Vegas.
II want to go back and face the
music now," he added.
The FBI traced Bruck and the
blonde to Chicago, where the girl
left him. It was not decided wheth-
er she will be accused of duplicity.
II have been worrying about
this thing for the past week."
Bruck said. II called the FBI
while I was in Chicago and they
said they had no report that I was
wanted" He Said his wife, Harriet,
an Akron O., girl, had filed suit
for divorce the day before he left.
Lake Worth authorities said the
case was being handled by the
FBI since It was a national bank.
