CHAMPION PIRATES © Father of Missing Kath- Jeen Flanagan and Po- lice Hope to Find Child Across the River—Two Witnesses Saw Child- Thief and Victim on the Street — Strange Letter Demands $5,000 Ransom. Detectives of the West One Hundred and Twenty-fifth street station and the grief-crazed father of missing four-year-old Kathleen Flanagan have gone to New Jersey, in the hope of getting a trace of the kid- napped child. While Capt. Titus, Chief of the De- tective Bureau, dismisses the case by advancing his famous “accident theory,” The Evening World is se- curing clues that will lead to the capture of the kidnapper and, it is hoped, the finding of the child. Sister Aloysius, of the Convent of the Sisters of the Good Heart, has fur- nished to The Evening World te description of a man whom she saw on the street with a little girl a few moments after Kathleen Flanagan was stolen, The man and the child, it appears, were the kidnapper and the stolen baby. Immediately after securing this clue an Evening World reporter, as- signed to the task of running down the kidnapper, secured a descrip- tion of the child thief—correspond- ing to the description given by the Sister—from a man who, seeing the stranger lead the crying girl, stopped him and was tol that the “tittle one-was lost and was ‘being taken home.” oo “THE CHILD IS LOST,” STRANGER CALMLY SAIC. Evidence accumulates that little Kathleen Flanagan was stolen from the Recreation Pier at the foot of West One Hundred and Thirty-third street by a young man about thirty years of age with a dark mustache and dark clothes. The Evening World has found two persons who saw a man of this de- scription leading a little girl along ks. /the street near the pier about the time she disappeared.

Horace does a lot of thinking when he Js not directing the play of his forces He was deep in thought this morning for a while, Then he dragged a card from his pocket and on it wrote the list as it appears here, Reflection told him that the batting list as it originally stood was not the right sort, even to take two games from the Cincinnat! Reds and to line ft up against this city's crowd of ball players would be sulcite. And so it happened that Frank Bowerman by virtue of his great stick work the past week has gained the position of honor, fourth place. George Yeager, the other Glants* catcher, has shown some ability at hite ting the ball at the right times and should it occur to Fogel to substitute the German boy ‘‘for Bowerman” he will be fourth to go to bat. George — Smith, who has cultivated excellent ability to pop up files, has been relegate ed to the seventh place and Jimmy Jackson, who is regaining a quick eye, has been advanced a couple of points, But look at the list and see the othe ~ changes, There are a few more, Giants Up Against It, The {dea of our Giants going hd against this Pirate band who know how to lose @ game ts almost enough to give any local New Yorke rcoter the horrors, A lost game fot Pittsburg {sa real surprise all around.
