Posedvas Nap Rucker
CHICAGO, March 3.-A handsome,
athletic young man, impersonating
‘““Nap” Rucker, was sought by detectives
to-day on the story of Miss Ne'lie Bates,
of Trinidad, C 010.,, who said that she
gave him $2OO, her watch and a diamond
pin, believing him to be Rucker, pitcher
for the Brooklyn National League club.
Miss Bates met ‘‘Rucker” on a train
coming from San Francisco to Denver.
She said he proposed marriage, and
that after they reached Denver she ac
cepted him and came to Chicago. On
the way Miss Bates said the bogus ball
pitcher warned her against the danger
of carrying so much money in a big
city, and she gave him her $2OO, watch
and pin.
“Rucker” went into the Pullman of
fice to identify his suitcase, and that
was the last Miss Bates saw of him,
