Leading oops in a merry chase through the village streets
is becoming a weekly event like the stock car races at the Stadi-um,
And it is an expensive sport for the offender.
Bsjly Sunday morning 8gt. John

Main st., in a department car. Just
south of Weat LendTave., he spied
a car being driven In a reckless
manner. He set out in pursuit as
the machine dashed through a red
Mght at Lena a,ve.\ The. driver in-creased
his speed, shot left uito
West Lincoln pi, then right Into
North Ocean ave., and left again
into West Seaman ave., 'veering
around the corners as he failed to
slacken his pace.
West on West Seaman the chase
continued as the cars neared North
Bropkside ave. There one car head-ed
In each direction had stopped
for a red light. The fleeing driver
sped through the light, skirting first
one of the standing machines and
then the other with GiTosser close
behind.
'on and on the chase continued
crossing the 'Baldwin line. On
reaching North Grand ave., the of-fender
turned sharply north nar-rowly
mJeatng another auto with
three persons aboard/as it skidded
around the corner. This enMble<r
Sgt. Grosser, who had fired five
shots into the air durin? the chase,
to catch up, and bring the pursuit to
a halt. After talcing Qie driver into
custody, he investigated and found
one of the passengers in the car
which ha<t just escaped being hit
had fainted from shock. The scr-cars
had - raoed-along tl;e -streets at
more than 75 miles ah'hour.
Taken to Police Headquarters, the.
