MAN IS ARRESTED AS

HE “PLAYS POLICEMAN’’

PHILADELPHIA. Auril B.—When

Alfred Tyrle. 31, was a litle boy

his favorite game was "playing po

liceman.” He never got over the

habit.

“"Move on; get off this corner!"

said Alfred shortly after midnight

as he approached two strangers;

on the corner of Tenth and Wallace i

Streets. i

"Why?" asked one of the i

strangers.

"I’m a detective and I won t

have you fellows loafing on my

beat," Alfred answered.

"Let’s see your badge."

"G’wan. get off the corner. De

tectives don’t have to show their!

badges.”

“You show us your badge and j

we’ll show you ours.” replied one:

of the strangers.

Apprehension dawned in Alfreds)

playful eyes. The game was be

coming far too serious. He backed

away and two pairs- of hands

reached out for him.

A few moments later .he found

himself being booked at. the police

station for impersonating an of

ficer by the two strangers, who.

revealed themselves as District De

tectives Forgy and Schall.
