By NORMAN E. BROWN
Fate hands out her various por-
tions 01 tame in odd packages...

bundles, shaped like quarts turn out
to be gold bricks. Other gilt... like
llmburger cheese. improve; with
use.
New thcrc' s that slice she handed
Fred Merino.
Sixteen years ago she called
Merkle to the center or the base-
ball stage and presented him with
a. gold medal. resplendent with red.
white and blue ribbons and. velvet
lined case and bearing on the back
the trite inscription . “Bonehead.”
And Merklc was forced to. open it
and pin it on himselt while the
whole world laughed in derision.
Today Merino is destined to come
beck to tho uig show as a. hero—-
the hero or that occasion. The dc.
rision has been mellowed by the
years to a. tooling of sacctlon (or
the man who lived down that "bone-
head play' and made baseball giva
him his rightful place in the hull of
the greats.
Climbed High Despite That
He ranks as one of the smartest
first basemen the game has pro-
duced. a. timely and hard hitter, a
fleet-looted runner and of a. type
that is an asset to the same.
And he is far trom done.
Miller Huggins' consideration or
Merkle tor the post of coach and
possibly pinch hitter will! the Yan- .
kco team of 1935 brings Merkle's
case to the forefront again.
Mcrklo was a. youngster in 1h.
game and a member of the Giants
when the 1908 season rolled toward
a. climax-an ending that was to be—
come one of the most thrilling and
sensational in the game‘s history.
The Giants and Cute were light-
ing tooth and null (or the Nation-
al League pennant. They came to-
gether for their final series late in
McGrsw inserted Mer-
klcin the ninth inning atone of im-
a'rucinl games as a. pinch hitter with
the score a. tie. Merklc came
tlirough with a ringing base hit. The
Giant rooters went wild with glee-—
temporarily. The play mcved
Giant runner to third and left Mer-
kle on first. of course.
The man who followed .Merkloi
slammed ficlean hit to the outfield
and the man on third raced home
with what seemed to be the winning *
run.
Then It Happened
The players started from the field.

tor stealing m bunk. You'll hear them say they did it for “the kiddies.‘
Most at, them haven't any. Notfinz 8.20 one woman said she had stolen
lacuna: her husband had abandoned “her and she was pennIEoss. We
investigated and round that her husband had provided a good home for
her and that he hsd left her only because she insisted on «leading.
"Shoplifting incl! hasn't changed so much in the lust tWeniy years.
Its methods. are about the some. Women are’stlll its leaders—with big
handbags or loose blouses their aids.
"Men play their part. too. There is one. for instance. who specialises
in tapimrics and expensive rugs. His game is to learn the name of s.
salesman and then visit the department during his lunch hour. Pre-
tending to wait for him, he roams unwatchcd. He has mastered. the
art of folding. He can fold a rug or a tapestry so cleverly that it {its
under his loose coat. Then out he goals.
“But shopllrting has numerous kindred :ruckcts’ tint, hove develop.
ed. We rounded up one gang not long ago that had for its chief old
a ten-year—old. There won; five in the gang. All would enter a. iewulry
store. Two would ask to look at rings. The other two would stroll around
the store. The boy would start bouncing s. rubber ball.
“At just the right moment the boy would roll the bail under a
counter. While the clerk was occupied with the ‘customers‘ the .two
others w0uld go behind the counter apparently to retrieve til?1 bull. They
.would gather considerable volupblo Jewelry in the process.
"There was another man who was what is known as s. ‘pennyweight.’
He would palm. as a magician does, an imitation dlumond. While a clerk
wss showing him real stones he would substitute he paste for the roll
and bow his way out with ‘the promise to 'retu ’ later." He won‘t re-
turn anywhere for some time to come. He's in I. penitentiary.
"Th-n 'here is the woman. new under arrest. who preys upon shop
pers rather than upon shops. Al the glove counter. for instance she
takes her place next lo the woman lrymg on gloves. The latter puts
her handling down while a glme is being filled When she looks to:- it.
‘t is gone So is thedhlef. She’s hard to identify. for her victim si-luom
sees her in the act or science her in the act. .
“There's another one who merely passes through store crowds. open-
ing women's bags and taking what 3 wants. She's doing time now.
She"was the fastest worker I ever saw. She cou‘d open and rob ten
or twenty bags a minute. Carelvssness gave her her chance. If women
would only remember when they are in a crowd to grasp their numb
bags by the names or to luck them under their arm instead _01 letting
them dangle from their straps they could frustrate thieves of this sort."
“But there aren‘t as many as there used to be." says Mu pny.
"Women delecthea have had an important part in sending many or the
old timer: to prison. They are splendid workers. They know the tricks
of women and the psychology of women and when it comes to making
arrests they have Just as much nerve as men—l! not more."
