Not Sure, Bat He Thinks Racket Was Over A Girl (By Associated Press NEW YORK. March 19 David Field's mattress is a charred ruin; his legs ae stiff as the result of a 15 foot leap from his bedroom window; Patrolman mil Henning is in a hospital with a fractured wrist and two prisoners are nursing sundry bruises in a Harlem police station all as a result of trouble which Field told the police dubiously, he believed started over a girl. The excitement began when he returned from work last evening and was greeted at the corner by a fusilade of six shots all of which missed. He retreated to the police station and obtained a police bodyguard" to escort him home. Safe in his apartment, he imagined his trouble at an end, when the door gave way with a tremendous crash and two men dashed in. I Field dashed out via the 15-foot window. The two men climbed patiently into his bed to await his return. When he came back with two policemen, heavy smoke was pouring from the apartment. The bed was ablaze. When the police pulled the burning mattress to the floor, two forms rolled off it and staggered to their feet. They put up a terrific struggle which ended only after one of them had broken Patrolman Hennigs wrist.

Little Girl Fights Bravely Against Burglars; Loses (Bv .Associated Press) NEW YORK, March 19. This is the story of a little girl's brave fight against the two meanest burglars in New York. Margaret Hagney, 12 years old, was asleep in her home in West 25th street when she was awakened by a noise in an adjoining room. Her parents being absent she called "who's there?" and receiving no answer, turned on a light to discover two men rattline her bank containing

175 pennies. The niVn sprang for the doorway with the girl giving chase, screaming at the top of her voice. She caught the man with the bank, meantime fighting off his companion who was endeavoring to stifle her screams and finally was knocked unconscious with a blow on the forehead with her own bank. The men escaped, taking thebank with them and neighbors a few moments later broke in the house and found Margaret insensible on the floor. She was revived by a hospital surgeon and between sobs was able to give the police a good description of her assailants.

Lefty Williams. By NORMAN E. BROWN While Claude P. (for pitcher) Williams was helping Eddie Cicotte hurl the Chicago team to the American

league pennant last summer, critics

aiu ill i L vv uuauis was uuunt'u iu j u 1 1 1 the hall of fame as one of the truly great southpaws of the day. He deserved the praise, lln won 23 games for the Sox while Cicotte was grabbing 29. Williams lost only 11 games.

Then, when talk about the world's series started the dopesters were inclined to disagree on the part Lefty would play in the classic. His inability to beat the Indians in the league campaign was pointed out to show his weakness against some opposition. At the time I didn't take either side, but I felt and stated that his show

ing would about make or break the

! Sox in the series. The prediction I came true. Had Williams held up the

outcome might have been different, despite Cicotte's failure to deliver. Williams was born in Springfield. Mo., in 1S91, and started his baseball career in his home town with the Kan-sas-MiBouri league. He broke into the big show for good in 1915 with the White Sox after showing his wares in Nashville, Morristown, Brooklyn and Detroit. He won thirty and lost sixteen games in the 1016 and 1917 campaigns combined. The work or fight order interrupted his pitchir.g in 1918 and then last year he hit his stride again until the Reds threw a bat at his knees, so to speak. Williams, hard at work at the Sox's training camp, believes he will convince the wise birds that he was simply off form from overwork last fall. -
