BOWLING SCORES

With the Western Electrics and the
Woodill-H tied for first place and
the Southern California in such a po-
sition that they have more than a
fighting chance to finish first, interest
is at fever heat in the Electric Bowl
ing league.
Last weeks Ilay was full Of sur
prises. Surprise No. / was the New
berry-Bowers losing five games to the
Woodill- Hulses; No. the Western
Electrics losing one to the 'Holabird-
Reynolds, and the grand surprise came
when the Southern CALIFORNIA; took
five straight from the City Inspectors.
All of the wise ones have a dope
sheet" of their own and can show you
that any one of the first three teams
Is sure to win. and, according TO
their particular brand Of dope" 1t is
impossible for their favorttes to lose.
Last week the writer attempted to
foretell the result of the finish, but the
last weeks play upset his dope to
such an extent it Is impossible to tell
who will finish first.
It is an even bet % pick any one OF
the first three teams to win the first
prize and the silver trophy. To
casual observer the Southern Caiifor-
Mas have the worst of 1t, but they
have easier matches next week than
the two leaders, which really gives
them the best OF the play.
The big match of the coming week
will be Thursday night between the
two leaders, and on that night the
rooters of both teams will surely raise
the roof of the Brunswick alleys.
In the individual averages Myers
still leads and seems to have the $lf
bowling ball donated by the Bruns-
wick Bake -Collender company cinched.
Grass had a good chance to take the
series prize away from Arbogast. but
experienced a little hard luck and fell
four pins short. Standings, as FUR

Once Tried to Blow Police Headquar

Self Guilty to Save
Friend.

New York.-How he had once trleo
to blow open the safe at Mulberry
street police headquarters IN the 'S0s,
as revenge for an unjust conviction
got by one of Inspector Byrnes men;
how he had cleverly fooled country
Justice of the peace after being caught
on a safe.breaking job, by feign1ng to
be drunk; and how he had later
proved his own guilt, to save another
man from the crime, was told recent
" at the new Center street headquar-
ters by James Murphy, safe-breaker,
arrested for carrying burglars tools.
1t was Murphy, known as Liver
pool Jack" who, with Red Leary and
Johnny and Jimmy Hope, blew open
the saft of the Manhattan bank, at
Broadway and Blocker street In the
early '70s. Murphy, now well past
70 years, has been implicated In
many of the big safe-blowings of two
generations. Released from the pen
itentiary on Blackwells island only
the other morning he was seized
again on a bench warrant issued by
Judge Rosalsky, charging him with
carrying burglars tools, at the time
of his iormer arrest for carrying re-
volver.
The old safe blower told Inspector
McCafferty of the robbery of the Man

lease from Sing Sing he went to Kan

As he entered there was a little stir, then

But somehow they didn't do it. There seemed

Captain Bill went to Austin, himself, after
Sullivan. so that there might be no mistake
about his coming. He presented the case to
Governor Culberson and got his sanction; then
sent word to his men at San Saba to meet
them, and he arrived with Sullivan promptly
on time He had expected that there would be
a demonstration by the sheriff and his friend,
instead of which the streets of the little town
were deserted.
Captain Bill began doing quiet detective
work, labor for which he has natural apti-
tude as shown by the shape of his ears and
nose and from the ferret look of his eyes that

years before and his son jim, though he had
never attempted to avenge his fathers death,

never even made any threats, but he must have
been regarded as a menace, for one Sunday
night while riding from church with his wife
and her brother he was shot dead from am
bush his wife whose horse became frightened
and ran within range, receiving painful
wound.
Captain Rill secured information which con.
WINGED him that one Bill Ogle had been the
chief iustigator in this crime.
The murderers now realized that trouble was
in store for them. Some of the men began
quietly TO leave the country. Others consulted
together in secluded places and plotted to kill
Bin Mcdonald" Sympathzing citizens oncour-
aged this movement. and anonymous warn

criminal-began to arrive In the Ranger camp.
Captain Bill paid no attention to such communi-
