Get Away Quick : BleIling3anne

1t was opening day and the
home team was scheduled to
play the pennant winners of the
year before. And as luck would
have it, "Get-A,way-Quick" Bal
lingame was dead broke.
AS he slipped into his place in
the office of Carr, Lode, Lott &
Co. he hastily frisked himself for
the 47th time in the hope of find
ing stray quarter that would
ensure him at least a bleacher
seat. No such luck.
And even IL his pal, Jackie
Straw, should stake him, still he
had no excuse to get away from
the office. He knew well enough
that Dudley Jones, bookkeeper
and his superior, would not help
him.
But Ballingame was not the
sort to be easily discouraged. An
excuse had never failed him in
the past and he felt confident
an inspiration would come. But
the coin? That was another
question. And 1t was opening
day or all the year on which to
work getaway gag.
But when Mr.. Carr, the Boss,
volplaned into his sanctum, Ball

Referee Says Attell

(By United Press Leased Wire. }
SAN FRANCISCO, April U.s.
Sol Levinson, who refereed the
Carroll-Attell fight in Sacramento
last night, returned to San Fran
cisco today.
ANY talk of the fight having
been a fake" said Sol, sis pure
rot. Both boys We're trying all the
time and the knockout was a
clean one. Carroll had Attell
bleeding at the mouth, nose and
eye in the second round. Abe did
not seem to be able to get to
Jimmy's face and began to pay at
tention to the stomach. He man
aged to reach the body with fair
punches number of times, but
in the sixth he landed solidly on
the pit. Jimmy fell to his knees
and was about to sprawl flat on
his face when the bell rang. He
was weak when he came up for
the seventh and two corkers to
the stomach knocked him down
and out. He arose a fraction of
a second after Timekeeper George
Harting had shouted Nine and
out and protested that he had
not been down ten seconds, but
my count agrees exactly with
Harting's, so there was no ques-
tion of the knockout When Car
roll went to his corner he vomit-
ed blood which is sufficient EVIL
