RoseuiIe ahead After Long Strug-
gIe-JOe 4rnOId IN Front.

After struggling along practically all season with
little apparent chance Of ever reaching the top the
Roseville Athletic Association team has at last
taken the lead IN the Athletic Bowling League
championship race. The standing OF 3 games won
and II lost is regarded distinctly better than the
New York Athletic Clubs Z9-16.
The championship unquestonaby rests between
these two teams. as the Elizabeth club five, the
title holder with q games and IS lost. has only
an outside chance. What makes Rosevie's pros
poets look a the brighter is the fact that the team
Is able TO finish its season at home. It has six
games-three tonight with the North End
Club and three next week with Jersey City.
On the other hand, New York. having rolled three
more games than Roseville lays OF this week and
finishes its season next week with series the
Columbia Club alleys. Elizabeth finishes its season
tomorrow night with hard series at Newark Bay.

the Fort Worth club by score of 10 to 0. The
overwhelming score somewhat the result OF
desire for vengeance on the part OF McGraw. as
the youngsters were beaten here few days

throughout the game, and the base running finally
turned into experiments tricks.

ship tournament at 1872 balkline, which begins to-
night Having watched him play in practice at

skill to hold his own with his more experienced
rivals, and up this time he has never shown a
lack of under pressure. In my opinion the

TUNNELED WAY
into BANK
Robbers at Suffolk, Va, Secure
SI50O and Escape.
VAULT RESISTED ATTACK

Burglars TunneIed Under Four Build.
ings to Reach the Bank--It Took
About Ten Days, and Bits of Food
and Empty Bottles Were Found In
Underground Passage.
Suffolk, Va, April 81. - Tunneling
their way under four other buildings
to reach the vaults OF a bank, robbers
gained admission to the Bank Of Suf-
folk, carried away with them a large
amount of loose currency, gold and
silver, and succeeded In making their
escape.
Although the loss was discovered by
the officials of the bank on Monday
morning, no notification thereof was
given to the police until late Tuesday.
It is thought that the thieves must
have spent at least ten days before
they succeeded in reaching the bank
by their underground course. 1t Is be-
lieved that they finished their job and
made their entrance to the bank either
on Sunday or Sunday night. They at
tempted to break open the vault. but
did not succeed in this. They secured
about $500. The police have no clue.
Inside the tunnel were found empty
bottles, cigar stumps and bits of food,
which make it evident that they must
have spent most of their time in the
tunnel. Employees in che of the stores
under which the robbers tunneled say
that they have observed some peculiar
noises beneath them during the past
week.
This is the first bank robbery that
has occurred in Suffolk since 1876.
when big Frank" Mccoy, Tom Nc
Cormick and another were chased and
run down in the Dismal Swamp. AS
they were wanted in Delaware, how
ever, on more serious charges, they
we're given up by the Virginia au-
thorities.

CUT FLESH FfaN MAN
TO SEc'' ( MONEY
Black Hand Members Carved
Pieces From Victims Breast.

Pittsburg, April 20.-Alleged to have
outdone Shylock in having actually cut
portions of flesh from the breast Of a
man who refused them money, Saliva
tor Roberto and Nicolo Digliotti were
held for court without bail at Brad
dock, suburb.
With his wounds bandaged, but still
weak from the loss of blood, Joseph
Gugliotto appeared at Braddock bank
in company with two foreigners and
asked to draw out $500. The teller call
ed an interpreter and was told the
story, which resulted in the arrest and
holding of the two men.
At hearing Gugliotti repeated his
story, stating that he received sew
eral Black Hand letters demanding
money, but ignored them. He said he
was aroused from a sleep to find the
two accused men standing over him.
He said they demanded $500, and that
when he refused one of them held him
while the other slit his arms and face
with stiletto. Still he said he refused
to comply with their demands. till one
of them began carving pieces out OF
his breast. Then he promised to get
the money and the arrest followed.
