by Police.
Chicago.—She’s not knee-high to the
proverbial duck. In fact, the pistol
she held probably would have kicked
her over backward had she pulled its
trigger.
Yet Mrs. Oliver T. Martin, wife of
a wealthy tobacconist living at 304
East Fifty-eighth street, had the nerve.
And that enabled her to capture two
burglars, one of whom the entire po
i lice force has been trying and failing
to capture, for several months.
It happened thus:
Mrs. Martin was in her husband’s
store at 316 East Fifty-eighth street.
A neighbor telephoned that two bur
glars were ransacking her apartment.
Gets Out Big Pistol.
She notified the Wabash avenue po
lice and directed them to meet her in
the vestibule of the building. Seizing
a big automatic pistol, sflie rushed to
the rendezvous.
Policemen Edward McGuire, Pat
rick Mclnerney and Thomas Cassidy
were there ringing the doorbell when
she arrived.
“Don’t do that. You'll alarm them,”
cried Mrs. Martin. “Let’s catch ’em,
dead or alive.” She held the big gun
steadily and led the way to the sec
ond floor.
The Martin apartment was dark and
silent when the plucky woman unlock
ed the door softly. She crept in ahead
of the policemen and stopped to listen.
A slight noise came from the library
“Are any burglars in there?” Mrs.
Martin demanded to know. She
switched on the reception hall light,

in the library, before the horrified po
licemen could protest at Mrs. Oliver’s
method of criminal procedure. The

“There are two here. Where is the

“Here I am,” answered another

Burglars Drop Guns.
Investigation showed both burglars
I had dropped their revolvers on the
floor at the sound of Mrs. Martin’s
voice. In the dining room was their
loot sack crammed with jewelry and
silverware valued at several thousand
dollars.
One of the burglars, Charles Bray
ton, has a long police record and has
been sought repeatedly for numerous
burglaries and holdups throughout the
city. He gave his address at 213 East
Forty-eighth street, but that was
found to be fictitious.
f The other, Edward Sandler, who al
so gave a fictitious address, declared
he was an “amateur burglar.”
DOGS FIND STILL AND DRINK
Police Wonder When Canines Stagger
Along Streets In an Oregon
Town.
Baker, 0$e.—With dogs blear-eyed
and wobbly in their underpinnings,
staggering along suburban streets
and in other ways acting queer, police
officers are beginning to take notice of
a serious condition of the canine popu
lation of Baker.
In recent days many of the unfor
tunate brutes have been sent to the
pound and the last one captured had
to be killed. Every symptom points to
their being drunk, and the belief Is
that the keen scent of these four
legged tiplers has “nosed” out a moon
shine plant.
And now the officers are taking pre
nations to prevent two-legged animals
^ another species acting in a similar

DECISION BY BYRON
Here’s a decision by Umpire
Bill Byron in a Pittsburgh
Philadelphia gaipe as reported
by a correspondent; Meusel
was on third and Cravath on
first and one out; Baird tapped
to Cutshaw, who ran up the
line, tagged Cravath between
second and first, making the
second out, and then stepped on
first before Baird could reach
the bag. In the meantime
Meusel had crossed the plate.
Now comes Byron to announce
to the press box that Meusel’s
run counted. At least, so says
the detail of the game, which is
taken for what it is worth pend
ing an explanation from the
singing pmpire.
GREAT RECORD MADE
BY ADRIAN C. ANSON
Played for Twenty-Two Years
With the Same Team.
Was Manager of Chicago Club for
Longer Period Than Any Other
Leader—Was an Active Play
er While Acting as Head.
• -
There are records and yet more rec
ords in baseball—but what player will
ever duplicate two records, both held
by the -same man—the honors held by
Adrian C. Anson? They point proudly
to the batting marks that Uncle made
—the way he poled that apple through
the year—but the historians seem to
overlook these two salient features of
Anson’s great career:
He stayed longer in the service of a
single club than any other man that
ever wyore the spikes—and he was man
ager of the same club for a longer
stretch of time than any other man
ever managed a ball club before or
since.
Anson played continuously with the
Chicago team from the spring of 1876
to the fall of 1897—22 years under ome
Adrian C. Anson.
banner. Never has any other man ever
approximated that length of service,
least of all without at least one change
of posture.
Anson managed the Chicago club for
19 ' seasons—and nobody, before or
since, has come anywhere near that
managerial record. Moreover, Anson
was an active player all the time—
never did any of his directing from
the bench. He became an institution
in Chicago—something that was taken
for granted; something the citizens as
sumed belonged there forever, and
was as much a portion of the scenery
as the Masonic temple, the stock yards
or the lake front.
THORPE BATTED FOR KAUFF
—
Indian Sent Up to Bat for Center
Fielder in Recent Game—Quite
Unusual Happening.
In the game of April 30 between
the Giants and Braves a pinch hitter
was sent in for Benny Kauff. This
was the second time in the major
league history of B. Kauff such a
thing has happened. Lew McCarty
batted for him once last year in a
game against Chicago. Jim Thorpe
was the substitute this time and he
came through.
