.UPL|FT RESORT IS
 LOSER ONCE MORE
Well Liked and Highly Respected Burglar Makes His Escape From
 Chaperone Joe Bush.

Antonio Lopez, a well liked 3n highly respected young burglar, wLu belongs in the honor class at tha Hunt Uplift Resort at Florence. nut who for some weeks haS been ar work at Tempe chaperoned by a watcher, has disappeared. He disap peared yesterday evening ani at las; accounts rad not been hearl from. IL is thought strange that the "unfor- tunate" Lopez. who stands well in Uplift society anu who. before he ran up against the law, succeeded in com miiting perfectly respectable burg ldry. should have left Tempe without having communicated his intentiorS either to Governor Punt, or L. Joe Bush, tGe chaperol- Tn charge 1' the gentlemen employed on the bridge.
 That MT. Lopez was missing was not discovered until the coavicts were checked in after a couple of hours liberty outside the Stockade Then there was some scurrying around and Constable Estrada was not;tir, At last accounts the constable wa stil, looking for the unfortunate" young man. Lopez would have had his lib- erty. anyway. in five more months. which makes his conduct ali the more strange That any mar would forego the delights of the Uplift Resort. es- pecially when he had so little time still to enjoy it's pleasures. is difficult to comprehend
 Anyhow, Mir. Lopez still breathes the air of liberty. And if anybody happens to see him he will greatly relieve the anxiety of his comrades and the chaperone by communicating that fact to headquarters

.BAlK LINE ARTIST LOOKS 10 BE SLIPPING BACK
Willie Hoppc Loses 1S-ineh Cham pionship-Now Ready to De-
 fend His 18.2 Title.

NEW YORK. March 29.-Is Willie Hoppe, the former champion 1S- inch balk line artist. losing his nerve? The other night he was robbed of the title he had worn for so long by the veteran George Sutton. and on April III next Hoppe will defend his 1S.2 title against Calvin Demarest. It is a fOregone conclusion that if he does not improve on his playing in the game with Sutton he will fall an easy victim to Demarest. There was a time when Hopes playing thrilled his audience. But. say the experts. Hoppe is no more. It is another Hoppe now. Playing with Sutton. he acted more like fiddler than bill liardist. He would start to make one play, only to change his mind and then miss. They say he is now ner- vous and worried and not able to put up the game that won him fame.
