The girl, her ammunition exhausted
turned into the niche where her com
panionS were in order to secure an
other weapon. AS she did SO, one OF
the men whom the Spider had com
missioned for the attack from above
dropped upon the shelf before them.
Before he could regain his poise
Bridget, with a wild Celtic war cry
was upon him. Locking her mighty
arms about his waist she hurled hin
bodily over the edge, watching him as
he went crashing down. When he was
no longer to be seen, she faced about
and saw her sawed-off gun where she
had dropped it when the assayer had
been hit. Slowly she picked it up.
"Bedad! I clane forgot it," she
muttered.
But her moment of triumph was
short lived. Even as she spoke a Sec
ond form dropped heavily upon hel
head and she fell stunned upon the
ledge, and before the girl could reload
her weapon the outlaw had disarmed
her. Covering the wounded man, their
captor uttered triumphant yell, and
at that signal the Spider and his fol
lowers came swarming over the ledge,

turned to the girl.
"It's open war from now on. If
you will join my side I'll marry you
after I get rid of that cursed Davis.
If not" His further remarks were
cut short by a volley from above.
From the sawmill where they had
been inspecting the machinery, the
two engineers had heard the shots and
rushed out. A glance at the group
below enlightened them as to the real
situation, and without hesitation they
opened fire upon the outlaw gang.
Back out of range darted the Hawk,
dragging Ethel after him. His voice
arose in sharp command.
"To the mine, everybody. We have
got the woman, and they will have to
come to our terms" AS they started
away Blackie approached him and
whispered in his ear, and with ges-
ture of assent Morgan summoned the
Spider before them.
"All right" he returned. 'But don't
involve the woman. I can use her."
AS the party started toward the
mine, Blackie, who had Jagged behind,
turned his back upon them and broke
into wild run toward the cabin, wav-
ing his handkerchief on high as he
leaped from rock to rock and with
Morgan and the Spider sending their
bullets. about him as closely as they
dared without danger of doing him
harm. The party within the cabin
seeing this play and believing that the
approaching man was endeavoring to
escape, threw open the door and adj
mitted him into their midst. Breath
icssly the new arrival sank upon q
chair.
"They are going into the mine with

And when you come right down to busl- ness that boy Lew Tender. who hangs up his hat in this yawning town is somewhat of a. champion. But what N1ugsy objected to was thai word "somewhat"
 Lew Tender is a champion, I tell you" argued Mugsy as we walked up Chestnut street last night. They are not giving him a square deal | don't mean fight promoters, because there Isn't 0 matchmaker within a ra- dius of 100 miles from this city who wouldn't match Tender with Benny Leonard. What l mean is that Billy Gibson and his champion are a couple of4l1ne kangaroos.
 '"Tendler is @ PhiIadelphiau and we love our Tender as much as New York loves its Leonard. Both are clean-living kids But we are not so selfish that we would want Leonard to meet. Tender here. We want the two to box in some ring where they will be permitted Is rounds, for l, for one, honestly believe that over such a route Lew can furnish the cham pion with as fine an artistic lacing as you would ever want to see.

WEST GOLFERS
 HOLDING OWN
Not So Far Behind East When It Comes to Links Matches.
 Other Chatter.

The West is not far behind the East in matters pertaining to golf There are golf architects in the West that are kept busy season in and season out without having to venture further east than Pittsburgh 4 golf course architect in Chicago who has all the work he can do is William B. Langford, who has laid out several courses in the past few years and ex- poets this season to be his busiest His work is through the Middle West, but he takes in Texas as well. Lang ford says Texas Is crazy on golf and within ten years will have as many courses as any state in the Coun- try.
 While talking with Langford he re. marked that the idea of bunkerIng had been overdone and the big idea of the future would be to design traps that would catch the ball and mako one lose a stroke or make such a clever recovery that one was entitled to great credit if he got out well.
 The West Is planning numerous tournaments and they expect a revi- val in the game such as was never known before. The Western open Is to be staged at MayffeId and the western amateur at Sunset Hiu Coun- try Club at St. Louis. Chicago will come in for her usual amount of in vItatton tournaments.
 The fact that the national amateur championship Is to be held at Pitts burgh will bring representative play CTS from both sections. There has al ways been dispute in golfing circles as to whether Pittsburgh was in the East or the West. The Pittsburgh golfer will tell you that 1t Is locate in the East, but in baseball he must admit that Pittsburgh is in the West.
 The amateur championship win doubtless draw the largest field that has ever taken part in a tournament In this country. Besides being a large one, it will be one full of class, and the golfer that wins it will know that he has been through the grind The West will send an unusually large number of players simply because they feel duty-bound to hold up their end, and Pittsburgh, being accessi ble, means less expense for the golfer. There will be some trouble in hand ling large number of players, but with the system used at Detroit three years ago this event can be handled very well. The extra hour of sunlight should help out a bit, too.
 Rumor has it that Miss Alexa Stirl= ing, has declared her intention of talk ing part in the annual tournament of the women's Southern Golf Asso- station at Memphis during the week of May 26, and one of the national champions opponents will be the present Southern titleholder, Mrs. K. G. Duffield.

NO KNOCKOUT
 SOCCER SERIES
Committee Decides to Do Away With Competition After a
 Lengthy Conference.

There will be no knockout series for the schoolboy soccer teams of this city, this spring, owing to an adverse decision of the superintendent of the Bridgeport public schools refusing to allow the boys to play in the series that graduated into the High school last month. The writer as secretary of the league decided yesterday to call of the series this spring and the decision is bound to cause great dis- appointment among the boys who certainly love the game better than any other sport they play. The ser les were to start tomorrow afternoon with five games at Seaside Park, Vel low NH Park and Old NH Green and no less than IS teams had entered which was a record for the game in this city.

MORT LINDSEY HAS CHANCE ID

New Haven Bowler Creates Big Sensation at American
 Congress Tn Toledo.
TEAM BEHAVES WE'LL.
Second Day Records of Con necjicut Men Compares Fa- vorably With Stars Earlier
 En Tournament.

Toledo. O., March 2S.---AIort Ilir'dt sey of New Haven displayed his ten pin ability in the American Bowling i Congress tournament here yesterday and demonstrated that his career in the United States Navy has not dimmed his eye for the groove. The Connecticut star crashed into first place in the all events with 1933 for his nine games, five pins over the mark shot by Frank Caruana of Buff IfaIo nearly two weeks ago. Lindsey
 bOwIed in anchor position with the New Haven team Wednesday and an- nexed 664 pins. In his doubles yes terday he got 579 and in the singles, 699, which sent him into a tie with .Donintck DeVito of Chicago for fifth place in the standing.
 Ltndsey's rolling has proved the real feature of the tournament. Like
 Wednesday he hit the pocket with great regularity yesterday, his work in the singles being especially good,
 He started off with g. mark of 222, fol- lowed it up with 245 and then wound
 up his individual performance with a score of 223 for a total of 690. His failure to hit the eco mark in the dou- bles was due to frequent splits.
 American Bowling Congress officials
 last night expressed the belief that
 Lindsey's mark in the all events will
 not be beaten. The tournament closes on Saturday and practically the cream
 of Americas bowling talent has al- ready rolled. This will mark his sec ond winning of Q championship. Back
 in 1913 he rolled 2OG1 in the National
 Bowling Association at Paterson, q
 worlds Tecor5. The National broke
 up five years ago and since that time
 Lindsey has been set on winning the blue ribbon event in the big Organi-
 za.tion. It is probable that he will
 now retire and devote all of his time to his automobile tire interests in Boston.
 The New Haven bowIers all showed
 a. marked reversal of form yesterday. Porto and Charley Johnson reached
 the 600 mark in the i1l5EviGuaI event
 while Palmer and Sullivan proved that they could tally better than 5G0
 when rolling alone. Al Johnson, how
 ever, qualified for some sort of a. medal by making the almost unDe- lievabIe score of 99 in the first game
 in the singIeS.
 In the doubles Lindsey and Porto got into the money as did Charley
 Johnson and Palmer. Johnson rolled the best three string total he has ever flashed in an A. B. C., getting 634. His best effort was a score of 245
 which he made in his last game. Al Johnson and Sullivan performed nlis- eTahly in the doubles, their work net ting them but 864
 On one of the morning shifts O. kallIsch and E. Barnes Of Rochester rolled into first place in the two men department with a, score of 1865. Sec ond place was taken on the last squad of the day by A Trapp and l.. Hahn of Chicago with 1275 score. The changes in the tlvO-men standings sent Pekie and LelInger of Chicago down to third place.

It is a pity that the officials of the public schools could not stretch Il point to allow the games to be play ed and the decision is certain to cause hard feelings when the annual gen eral meeting of the league will be held which will be in the course of a few weeks. The BarnuIn school would have certainly been crippled as no less than four of their best play CTS have gene to High school and as the new arrivals are not of the same class, they would certainly not have had any chance to win the trophy. Other teams such as Prevocational and Franklin were also seriously crippled by the decision and the only verdict to arrive at was to dismiss the competition for this spring and withdraw the shield. The schools were all notified today.
