A good account of himself, he never. up to the time he stopped Ritchie Mitchell in the first round in Buffaio, showed form that warranted him in challenging the title holder of the lightweight class. In considering the claims of Kansas and his probable chances against the title holder. the form the Buffalo man displayed in his fight with Willie Jackson in Aadi- son Square Garden, New York city. serves as excellent material on which to form conclusions. In that en- counter he exhibited traits that are necessary in boxer who aspires to a title. He is strong, vigorous, active. and hits with crushing force. In true sense he is the most dangerous rival of Benny Leonard.

CHICAGO, Sept 10.-Summer was

officials said so, and backed up their
statements with formal forecast of
frost, colder, much cooler and cooler
for the northern portion of the
country.
Temperatures which ranged around
freezing or below early today in Mon
tana and Wyoming, will begin to fall
tomorrow in the middlewestern states
and before the new week gets for I'M
der way there will be change for
cooler all the way eastward to the
Atlantic coast.
The decline in temperature will not
be so decided east of the Mississippi
as has been experienced in the snow
covered portions of Montana, but bu-
reau officials said it ought to be
enough to bring about the demise of
the straw hat which throughout a
good portion of the country came early

POLICE LACK CLUES
TO TRACK BANDITS
Who ROBBED BANK

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Sept. 1o.-Po-
lice detectives today were without
definite clews that might lead to the
identity or the whereabouts of the
four bandits who held up employees
and robbed the Beech Grove State
bank shortly before noon Friday. A
careful checkup of the banks money
showed that the bandits obtained 1922
909.16, of which nearly $4,000 was in
currency.
In the 24-hour investigation follow
ing the holdup, detectives have re-
ceived from many sources the infor-
nation that the bandits were seen
here, there and some other places.
However, about all that has resulted
from the investigation has been the
recovery of the automobile used by
the bandits.
Auto Was Stolen.
The automobile, blue touring car,
belonging to William Suckrow, Jr.,
of Franklin, was found late Friday
afternoon at Emerson avenue and
East Tenth street. 1t was stolen
Thursday from in front of the State
house. 1t contained nothing that
would aid the detectives in their
search for the hold-up men. The ban
dts had taken Suckrow's Indiana IL
lcense plates from the machine and
had substituted Ohio licenses.
