Adams, a $42 a week messenger-handyman whose heart was as big as his boss’ bank roll. When Adams appeared at his favorite saloon on Archer Avenue the boys would start whooping it up. Adams (The Colonel) always would pick up the tab. His tavern pals agreed Adams was a good- time guy. And, it was disclosed in Felony Court Thursday, Adams was over- ly generous away from the bar— with his employer's funds—to some of his friends, Prosecutrs James A. Brown and William Brumlik told Judge Char les S. Dougherty that Adams over a 2-year period had spent and given away $34,000. The total may be higher, they said Adams, 43 and a bachelor, was in court on a forgery charge Adams was a messenger-handy. man in the office of William Wood Prince Jr., president of the Union Stock Yards and Transit Co.

Herbert Quesada, Rotary pitcher, held the VFW to| two hits, both coming in the fifth, but poor field- ing support allowed the VFW to score most of their runs. The VFW scored twice in the first on three errors, but the Rotary iced the game in the third when they bunched together—6 walks, two errors, and three hits for eight runs. The VFW picked three runs in the fourth on 3 walks and two errors, and they added their final run in the fifth on doubles by Cervantes and Estenoz. Quesada added to his pitching laurels by fanning 12. He walked three. In the nightcap, the Lions wal- loped the JayCees, 16-2. The Lions combined some timely hit- ting with bases on balls issued by the JayCee pitching to take the victory. Gibby Thrift limited the JayCees to two hits. He struck out seven and walked three. : The Lions scored four runs in the first inning on Mario Mar- tinez’ homer, three walks and a single. They added four more in the second on three hits and four walks. An eight run rally in the fourth iced the game for the Lions. The JayCees picked up a lone run on an error, a couple of outs, and Joe McMahon's single. They added another in the third on a walk and Ben Pierce’s double. Martinez led the Lions’ attack with a homer and single in three official trips to the plate, The scores FIRST GAME VFW Player— AB RH POAE | Cervantes, If 321000 Whitney, Ib 300 5-0 0 Thompson, rf 320000 Estenoz, c 22 1°53 0-8 Carnival, ss 2) 0001 O30 Lloyd, ss dh OY OE eg Foley, 2b tod 80-874 Taylor, cf 250007006 | Esquinaldo,3b_1 00 00 1 Thomas, p fi. 06001 G28 Rice, p — Orr e-#@ Total— 20 6 212 5 2 ROTARY Player— AB R H POA E} | Estevez, rf 1200 0 0; | Robertson, rf 0 0 0 0 0 0 | Garcia, ¢ Ree Sa) ek Ross, 1b yao ee oe oer tae Carbonell, 2b 200000 | Solomon, 3b 3:60 6 €.6 Barroso, ss Aye) G0 Quesado, p Sein t 6.900 Swift, If O 429> CoOre If es 884 ef Sit 2i1.¢¢ 18 8 51 3 65 — R.
