NOT IN THE BOX SCORE:
A T RS. JO ESPINOSA probably
■L’l has seen more golf matches
than any wife in history. She has
followed husband, Al, around the
courses for more than 17 years and
estimates she has seen him play 433
rounds . . . Willie Harper, the old
Fall River Soccer club goalie who
also performed so brilliantly for
Scotland a decade or so ago, now
coaches England’s celebrated
Plymouth Argyles . . . Jack Hur-
ley’s heavyweight, Johnny Erja-
veck, is trying to land a boxing
coach’s job at one of the Cali-
fornia colleges. Wants to complete
a medical course so that he can
specialize in dietetics . • . Charley
Goldman, manager of Lightweight
Champion Lou Ambers, uses the
rubber nipple from a baby’s milk
bottle as a cigar holder . . . Coaches
who have observed them in ac-
tion testify that former Yale cap-
tains Albie Booth and Fay Vincent
are football officials capable of
working big time games ... In 1912
Jim Thorpe scored 25 touchdowns
and achieved a total of 198 points
for Carlisle. This was the same
year, by the way, that he proved
to be a team all himself in the
Olympic games.
The state department of automo-
bile registry in Michigan has set
aside No. 7 as the license number for
Dutch Clark, coach and backfield
star of the Detroit Lions, as long as
he drives a car in Michigan . . .
Seven has been Clark’s playing
number since his college days . . .
Paul Graham, captain elect of In-
diana’s 1938 eleven, first reported
for football in 1934 . . . Coach Bo
McMillin told him he was too little
for college football, so Graham re-
turned to his home in Eldorado,
Kan., and worked with a road con-
struction gang for a year. He gained
15 pounds and then went back to
school. He is rated one of the best
blocking backs in the Big Ten con-
ference.

Nicknames of Criminals
Kept on File by G-Men
Washington.—As a needed adjunct
to its fingerprint records of gang-
sters, kidnapers, bank robbers and
other criminals, the federal bureau
of investigation has set up a moni-
ker or nickname file, it was recent-
ly revealed by Director J. Edgar
Hoover. This is based on a theory,
whose validity is now accepted, that
a man’s nickname is seldom
changed. Though a criminal may
masquerade under a dozen aliases,
almost invariably, if he has a nick-
name, he will continue to be known
by that name by his men and wom-
en associates in the underworld.
Nicknames often are based on
physical appearance, mental atti-
tudes or personal idiosyncracies
and mannerisms. Hence the nick-
name may often provide a valuable
clue to officers of the law in their
search for missing criminals.
Eight Hats of Napoleon
Are Still in Existence
Paris.—The sale at auction of a
hat worn by the Emperor Napoleon
has opened an inquiry which estab-
lished the fact that eight such hats
are now in existence.
Three of these are in the Inva-
lides museum in Paris, one is at
the Fountainebleau museum, one is
owned by Prince Napoleon, the
Bonapartist pretender in Brussels;
another is in the private collection
of M. Pauliac, the seventh is owned
by the Prince of Monaco and the
eighth is the one recently sold at
auction for $1,000.
All of the relics are well-authenti-
cated with documents, and that of
the Prince of Monaco is valued at
$2,000.

Washington.—The American pris-
on population has reached the stag-
gering total of 144,180, the census
bureau announced.
These prisoners, 3,731 of whom
were sentenced for murder, are con-
fined to 117 prisons, 99 of which are
operated by states and the others
by the federal government.
Of the total number, 4,902 are
women. They constitute 4.9 per cent
of those committed. Nearly 9 per
cent of the women were sent up for
murder, but more than half of them
are serving sentences for commer-
cialized vice and other sex offenses.
During the past year there were
67,150 prisoners admitted, including
3,416 women. In the same period
67,000 prisoners were released, in-
cluding 3,312 women.
The bureau said:
“It is apparent that there are few
successful escapes from prison
these days. The federal institutions
reported 31 escapes and 32 men re-
turned from escapes, one from a
previous year. During 1936, the state
institutions reported 1,263 escapes
and 1,120 escapes returned.”
The bureau found that federal
prisoners averaged older than those
in state prisons.
“The medium age of federal pris-
oners was found to be 32.4 years,
while that of state prisoners was
27.1 years, or over five years’ dif-
ference,” it said. “This is prob-
ably to be expected, as it is state
reformatories that receive
prisoners under eighteen.
“Over 2,300 prisoners were re-
ceived who were under eighteen
years of age.”
There were 149 executions of pris-
oners last year while 1,034 died in
prison. Terms of 24,041 expired,
while 31,131 were paroled, 915 re-
ceived pardons and the remainder
were released conditionally.
More prisoners are serving time
for burglary than any other offense,
the bureau said.

days before he was invited to come
to Chicago to confer with President
Philip K. Wrigley of the Cubs he
didn’t know that he had been re-

was engineered by the Cubs, Lazzeri
told Dykes
Death of H. J. (Derby Dick)
Thompson recently, who saddled
four Kentucky Derby winners for
Col. Edward Riley Bradley, brings
to mind the fact that even a trainer
sometimes doesn’t know the best
horse in his barn. Thompson pinned
his hopes on Black Servant in the
1921 race, but it was another Brad-
ley color-bearer, Behave Yourself,
which won. Thompson figured Bub-
bling Over was his best bet in 1926,
and he was right. But he was wrong
again in 1932. Bradley’s two derby
candidates that year were Burgoo
King and Brother Joe. The latter
was liked by Thompson, Bradley
and the rest of the stable connec-
tions. Burgoo King won while
Brother Joe broke down after half
a mile. Thompson wasn’t surprised
when his Brokers Tip took the 1933
Derby after a rough stretch battle
with Head Play. Incidentally, that
was Brokers Tip’s first and last win.
Another National league pitcher
not long ago told Carl Hubbell that
Ducky Medwick of the Cardinals I
was easy to pitch to after you get
two strikes on him . . . “All you
have to do,” the moundsman ex-
plained, “is to throw him a low
curve on the outside. . . • But I
how and when do you get two strikes
on him?” Hubbell inquired . . . .
Pittsburgh claims to be the first uni-
versity to have its football games
broadcast . . . The original game
was the 1921 contest against Ne-
braska, first of the present series
with the Cornhuskers.

home was opposite the eighth fair-
way of the Lafayette Country club
at the time, and he eventually be-
came the .club’s caddie master.

CHAS. SCHLOTTER, Manager
Efficient though it may be, the
New York police department in its
efforts to solve crimes and bring
criminals to justice, at times runs
into what seems to be a blank wall.
For instance, there was the slaying
of Joseph Bowne Elwell, nationally
known bridge expert, who was found
shot to death in his West Seventieth
street apartment. That was away
back in 1920, yet the crime hasn’t
been solved. The police found nu-
merous clues but all apparently
led nowhere. For years they worked
on the case and, theoretically at
least, are still working on it. One
man confessed but it was soon
shown he didn’t do it. Then, three
years later, came the strangling of
Dot King, the “Broadway butterfly.”
The reputation of a prominent and
wealthy man was blackened a bit
by the case but her slayer, as
well as whoever killed Louise Law-
son a little later, is still at large.
So is the slayer or slayers of Ar-
nold Rothstein, big time gambler
and friend of politicians, who was
shot to death in a mid-town hotel
in November, 1928.

and as a baker he made a fortune
which became so depleted by the
depression that a bakery on Grand
street was his only business. He
lived on that same street. Sunday
morning, he started for his place
of business and a few days later his
body was found in the courtyard of
the co-operative apartment where
he lived. One arrest was made but
the suspect was exonerated. Then
there was “Blind Joe” who was
killed last May. He ran a little
radio establishment on Avenue A
on the lower East Side and lived in
one room behind his place of busi-
ness. He was found with his head
crushed in by a hammer. There
was no sign of a struggle and noth-
ing had been stolen. The police
held it to be a revenge slaying. No
arrests have been made.

The slaying of Justice John
Francis O’Neil, of the Municipal
court, which occurred last April,
was spectacular. It occurred right
on Sixth avenue at Twelfth street.
Witnesses saw a man, whom they
described as stocky and wearing a
tan polo coat, come up behind the
judge, draw a long knife and stab
him twice in the back. Justice
O’Neil staggered and his assailant
ran along Twelfth street toward
Fifth avenue and disappeared. The
judge managed to reach his horrie
and then St. Vincent’s hospital,
where he died a few days later.
The case was on newspaper front
pages for days. The police labored
diligently. But the man in the polo
coat is still enjoying his liberty.
