SWINDLES VOLUNTEER CHIEF, BUT THICK IS FOUND OUT

Kan Who Said He Was Hospital Interne Now In Jail on ChargePreferred By Oneal.

Posing as an interne, who had a position at St. Anthony's hospital and was to go. to work within a short time, Louis Lambert, 42 years old, succeeded in talking Major John Oneal of the Volunteers of America out of about r-$60 with which he said he was going to boy clothing and other necessary articles prior to entering the hospital.

He was quickly found out, and was arrested Saturday afternoon by Bicycleman C. Smith and sent to jail charged with obtaining money under false pretenses.

Lambert called Mr. Oneal on the telephone before he went to the home and said he was Dr. Moorhead. He told Mr. Oneal a man would be down to the unteers* headquarters in a short time to stay a few days, and then went to the chapel. He obtained the money from Mr. Oneal and bought some new clothes, but did not enter the hospital. With that he became a suspicious character in the eyes of the Volunteers, and the investigation revealed that he was not an interne, and that no new interne was coming to the hospital.

ter class of baseball. It is true that Grand Rapids will not give a team the best support in the world unless that team is right around the top or in the lead, but the city is hardly ripe for Class A baseball.

Considering the season and the many ups and downs of other leagues the Central was lucky during 1914 and the articles of ball played, for the most part, classed ahead of the majority of Class leagues in the country. It is hardly believed that Grand Rapidi will make any effort to kick over the traces when it comes to lining up for the 1915 season.

Ty Cobb Says Feelings Have Been Hurt, and He Will Quit In 1918.

WASHINGTON. D. C.V Dec. 19.— Thousands of people religiously hold the belief that if the bright spotlight of publicity were denied him, Ty Cobb would freeze to death. They see 'n Tyrus a vain, boastful, elephantineheaded egotist. They're all wrong, absolutely misinformed.

Off the field Ty is first a gentleman, affable and retiring. He's not the bellicose, blatant butcher-beater that he has been pictured. On the contrary, he's what Robert Burns would call a "discontented ghost, a perturbed spirit." Ty has a grievance.

Cobb, Unquestionably the greatest ball player on earth, the highest salaried individual in the rank and file of the diamond army, believes fte has been made a martyr to oublicity, a sacrifice offered to mammon by avaricious club ov/ners.

The writer lo'cated Cobb at his hotel after a particularly brilliant performance on the ball field, one evening with the hope of ascertaining how inuch money the "greatest player in baseball" had appropriated from the Elysion fields of frenzied baseball finance. The subject does not appeal to Ty, who, however, was anything but loath to be interviewed. "I have saved my money and I have invested it well," said Tyrus, "and besides, I have been well paid but I will tell you a secret: my mind is set on quitting baseball in four more years, no matter what my services command on the diamond at the time. I am 27 years old and physically fortified, I believe, to go on as long as Wallace or La.ioie. But I have set 1918 as the absolute limit of further participation in baseball. "I haven't been treated any too well. I have been successful, it is true, but my feelings have too often been wounded by undesirable notoriety. I'll explain. 'I have been pictured a 'tough' fighter, a user of 'cold steel,' so often that loads of people with whom I'm not personally acquainted regard me almost as a barroom gladiator. That's putting it rather strong, but it's my aggrieved view of a serious matter.. Let me give you some history. "My career in the big league has been fraught with excitement. I broke in at the age of 18, with all the aggressiveness which a healthy young boy ought to have, but I was in baseball only a few days when I was forced to fight Eddie Sievers, a pitcher, because he heaped insults on me for losing a ball game. He said things which no man with red corpuscles in his blood could stand. So I whipped him. 'Since that day nothing I have done has escaped the news columns. They even probed into my private affairs and things are exaggerated and magnified until I'm often astonished at myself. Take the New York episode, when I went into the stand after a fan. The man who would have ignored the insults offered me by that fellow I don't care to meet. He isn't a mar). "But I warned that fellow three times to stop before I went after him. Every piay.er in my club was with me and most of them advised the course I pursued. But what did I get? The most thorough scourging any player ever got. "In Detroit one afternoon a butcher called Mrs. Cobb a liar. What would you do? Somebody .had to apologize, and when I forced tne apology, a personal affair with me. I again broke into the papers as a rowdy. There have been other incidents, but not one in which the minutest details have not been spread far and wide."
