NEW YORK, Sept. 1S,-Edwin P.
Fischer, detained at Hamilton, Ont,
yesterday in connection with the Wall

players as much as two weeks ago to
take Tip" and get their money out
of the banks because something is
going to happen" according to state
ment today by J. P. Allen, a tennis ex-
pert, who frequently played with Fisch-
er, himself a city champion.
Fischer, according to the statement,
entered the West Side Tennis club here
during the recent tournament and with
no attempt a secrecy. asked Allen II
he had any money deposited in a bank.
Answered in the affirmative, he told
him to draw it OUT and ''to have the
cash where you can get it when you
want it.
This warning was given about Aug.

the all-comers tournament, where
Fischer frequently was called upon to
officiate in various capacities.
Allen said he paid no attention to
Fischer, who, he declared, had a repu-
tation for Volubility.

Chief Flynn, who has, charge of the
