scoulasnot do it alone'and get the protec-
ton of the A. A. o., and he took in
partners. A mere shadow of
a club was organized to de-
ceive the A. A. U. officials,

pears on the roster of the Union audit
was given q representation or the Board
Apf Managers Immediate application was
made for a date for a boxing tournament.
This did not arouse suspicious. for the
request was granted, although the date
asked for practically conflicted with that

institution was given last Thursday
night. while the Gables had Monday

q happy thought. He concldded
that a tournament for novicas
would make a hit. 1t did. The success,
however, caused the break that stranded
the t'club." 1t was expected that they
would be able TO give only one entertain
ment, but the entries went over the hum
kdred. and hfty-eight weighed in. This

five nights. 1t was the rgeattsndance
and heavy receipts thai caused
e. e1s the rupture nfm. and The ea sissSl1sisR
young mat had s24S In cold cash When
the box Office closed. The show was
satisfactory and there was a prospect of
several nights more Of 1t with perhaps
larger returns. He decided to fraeEe out

The CLUB" consisted of four and d boy,
but the partners declined to accept a set

accounts were balanced. They were
informed that they must take that or
get nothing. They did better. He held
Inc money and the prizes, but they had
the entries and notified the contestants TO
appear last night when the tourney
closed. The enterprising young man with
visions of half a thousand dollars or more
added to bis bank account vauited up the
steps u Woods Hall last night. He was
astouished that the partners he had smut

founder of the club" would
only consent to one proposition, and that
was that he was to handle the cash. This
concession was not allowed, but they
offered to give him charge of the ticket
box SO that he could ascertain definitely
the exact mount of the receipts. He
walked of with the medals and g24S and
hurried to Police HEADQUARTERS to consult
Superintendent Smith. The Superin-
tendent was not at his office, and the en-
terprising young man and several friends
guarded the avenues to the hall to
intercept the patrons and competitors
and keep them away from the hail. The
absence of the prizes caused q long delay,
as the scrRppers refused TO go %. the
box receipts, although not as large as an
tictpated were more than sufficient to
meet all expenses and enable the 3.shut
out" partners to put up q cash guarantee,
and have a handsome profit. The boxing
