GOUNT 0 GROOK UNTIL GUFFS SMAP Defectives Never Certain of Suc- - ot88 I Their Pursuit The recsnt successtul ambush at Sound View, in which two detec- tives captured a notorious criminal, hrings to the minds of veteran po- lice officers memories of numerous instances of well laid plans going for naught just as easily and speed- ily as the Sound View coup was ex- ecuted. The fact that the informa- tion which resulted in the capture was furnished by the local police, who, in turn, obtaired it from a local resident, added to the highly interesting circumstances of ‘eriminal's presence in New Britain the day before he was apprehended, caused & great deal of public attern- tion to be focused on the affair and incldentally gave rise to considerable discussion of tihe unsuccessful coups-to-be in which New Britain policemen took part. 1t 1s ditficult to state a percentage rating on the plans of policemen, but it is safe to say that even the raids and scouting parties which 2ppear to be certain of successful ending are likely to go wrong, and the experfenced officers never be- gin to prepare their report or re- hearse their court testimony until quarry they seek is safely in their clutches. In many instances, the po- lice say, it is apparently safe to an- t{éipate certain results, including arrests, yet the simplest upset may océur and send the case so far from solution it can never be reached. +In fact, none of the planned moves which are frequently found neces- sary in police work can be positive- ly.counted on to produce the de- sired results although many police- men have found it necessary to have this fact proven to their satisfaction before they would admit its truth. In the Sound View capture, for instance, the detectives were about ready to cease their vigil when their man happened along. Had he remained away another day they would hgave made other plans, ac- cording to their own statements, because their long experience in hunting - eriminals impressed on -them the probability of an unex- .pected upset and in this instance they feared their -man had been in- “formed that the trail was getting hot and had gone to other quar- ers. Yet, when they went to Sound View on the information given them here they were optimistic as there seemed to be nothing left for them to do but secrete themselves and awalt their man. Fate or fortune, good for them and bad for their man, decreed that the game should end just at a time when the repre- sentatives of the law were about to deviate from their tactics. ¢ Since the work of enforcing the ‘prohibition laws has become an im- portant feature of police duty, members ‘of the local department have had many disappointments, {l- lustrating very thoroughly the un- certainty of planned movements. Naturally, information in large quantities finds its way to the de- tective bureau and it is a difficult ‘matter to discern the good from the bad. Consequently it is necessary for the officers to spend some time on practically every “tip” or “squeal” that comes to their attne- tion, There are instances on record, sthe police say. where very valuable sinformation -came in anonymous Storm but for the most part the “identity of informers is known to ~the police although not to the gen- eral public. Saveral months ago, policemen on the hunt for liquor spent aseveral nights watching one of the prin- clpal entrarces to the city and despite the seeming authenticity of thelr information, there vigil was unrewarded. They had reason to belleve they knew the make of the car that was said to have been used to deliver the liquor and every other detall including the hours between which delivery would be made, was in their possession, yet nothing de- wveloped, and the reason for the fail- ure of the well-laid plans has never been learned. A few years ago. two policemen who had worked all day were de- tailed to do’a night “trick” on the outskirts of the ¢lty and in a pour- ing raln they lay in wait for the truck that never came, Before leav- g the station they were confident of making one of the most sensa- tional clean-ups that had been put across up to that tme but ail they «aw throughout the night was rain and mud. Time after time, policemen have watched houses and other building: where violaticns of varions kind were reported only to fail entirely t0 ohserve the merest semblance of the thing they were after. Not infrequently have they stood watch for several successive nights only 1o be Informed later that the night | the of- been following their last watch fences for which they had looking, were committed. Varfous explanations are offere for the collarse of carefully plang but it is belleved that one the most common reasons is the sence of foundation in many reports that lead to night watches. Well meaning informa have known to exaggerate either through ‘xnorance of the true conditio failure to make proper observa hafore fumping at conclus o true, however, that throt soma inadvertently given signal the police plans became known and the activity for suddenly ceased, or, as has he known to happen, ended entirely. other cases, the police believe intervention of fate at the oppor- tune time gave the “break” to the alleged law breakers. Naturally, when closely and well executed plans wo perfectly as was the case at ¢ View, the spectacular circumstanc: of the arrests appeal fo the popular imagination and provide food for Aiscussion far beyond the immedi- ate area concerned.

The First Lutherans defeated the| Center Congregationalists by 9-2 in a game of free hitting and slow fleld- ing. In the early innings the losers played good ball and held the| Swedes down, but in the fourth the attack of the ex-champions broke loose and six runs crossed the plate. With the bases full and none | out, two pop flies were lifted, onc | after the other, but with double | plays in sight the Center church in- fielders stuck to their bags and let the ball fall safely to the ground. The Swedes took full advantage of these lapses and piled up a lead which the Center church could not hope to overcome.

Otto Suess pitched the last few innings for the { St. Matts and was even more effec- tive than Preisser, his curves being unhittable. Goody Preisser was the star of | the game on the offense. He got three hits in three trips to the plate and scored three runs. Two of these scores he made by stealing | home from third base. Bllly Preis- scr and Neumann got two hits each, while all the regulars except Eddie | Surko made one apiece. The Dap- tist hits fell to Anderson, Keifter, Pinkerton and May.
