The story of the roundup of
the trio of allc"cd robbers be-
lieved to have been implicated in
series of ten mysterious robberics
which occurred in November 1920,

the James r. Wood detective
agency that Horace Randell and
his alleged partners, Edward Mar

|LACONIA TOPS
ST. JOHNSBURY
BY SCORE 32-l5
Outplay Laconia In First
Half But Lose Out In
Second Half

Though outplayed on its homo
court Saturday evening during the
first half, the Laconia basketball
team came back with a terrific
bang and carried the American
Legion COMPANY ID basket fling
ers off their feet during the sec
ond half, winning the contest By
the score of 80 to Is. The St
Johnsbury boys plainly and actu.
ally outplayed the Granite State
athletes in the first 20 minutes, a,
the termination Of which the for
mer led 6 to 5. Then Murray and
Waller were unhitched in the sec
| ond half and carried the ball con
tinually down the court for field
goals. Fisk was unable to check
his lightnino partner, who scored
almost at will in the last hectic
moments of the game.
Each team tailed a ~air OF
field poals in the first half. Fisk
handled both st. Johnsburv mark
ers, one of them the result of a
pass from "Fitz" Marshall and the
other the result of hs own efforts
in a torrid scrimmage under his
basket. Waller and Simpson both
scored lucky baskets, when they
lifted the referees toss 49, into the
hooN from beneath their own
goals. There was no shooting from
the foul line, both teams adding
to its score one point for every
three offenses. st. Johnsbury
during the first half thus secured
two points on six fouls, while La
COMA got point on three Scale
town offenses. /.
The second period was a catas-
trophe for st. Johnsbury. Murray
scooted away as though he We're
stealing second against Hank
Gowdy, and carried the big
sphere for long trips down the
long Laconia court. When Murray
saw his advance blocked-as it was
in very few instances-he quickly
passed to Waller who had station
ed himself under the Laconia bas.
ket. Murray would pass to him
and in the ball would go.
Berlin, with its II feet Of tho
elongated McGivney family will
be the big attraction in st.
Johnsbury Tuesday evening.
When the Berlin hoop rattlcrs
played here on January 81, they
won 80 to 20 in a great contest.
Some fans think that the visitors
can repeat their victory over the
locals, while there are as many
more ardent Legion-Companv d
supporters who ferventlv believe
that the home boys can take the
measure of Berlin Tuesday even
ing.
Whether St. Johnsbury wins or
Berlin wins, the fans are gon- to
sec one of the best slam-bang-up
court battles of the year. And tn4t
is what the real basketball fans of
st. JohnSbury demand. They will
surely get their moneys worth
Tuesday ni"ht.

SATURDAYS
SPEEDWAY
RACES GOOD
DIR. Burke's Geralda Main
tains Position at Head
of the List

Dr.. r. II. Burke's Gcralda still
holds the top line in the program
of the St Johnsbury Driving Club
matinee races. Racing against
Charlie Harvey'S Peter, Gcralda
won in two straight heats, main
tanning the record time of 3112.
Several of the standbyS were
missed from the track Saturday.
Red Brino, Franklin, George G.,
and Precepts, Jr., were conspicu-
Gus by their absence, but there
were several new horses that made
good marks for themselves.
w. II. Worthen's new one, Little
Ted, won in Class G. in 35h, For
tins Col. Rex started Off in Class
f by beating McGinnis' Lady Fris-
co in Sc, but did not hold up for
the other two heats Of the race.
Several horses lowered their
marks; Peter Cote to 36l5 in Class
D., Bessie Wilkes to 34h in Class
E., Mary F., to 36h in Glass |.
Sam Fleming's Bakery Girl did
not win in Class H., but she was
able to dcad-hcat Warrcn's T. c.
w. in 36h and certainly proved
herself some warm bun.
The program Saturday opened
with an overture by Old Borca5 in
the form of big wind and snow
furry. 1t looked as if a good, old
fashioned blizzard had set in but
it proved onlv a pleasing variation
in the matinee list, and was soon
over. 1t did however, scare away
many of the would-be spectators
so that the crowd to witness the
events was not what it usually is,
however those who did defy the
storm saw some real track fun.
There were more horses out than
at any previous afternoon thio
winter.
A pleasing novelty Saturday wa
the exhibition heat of Howard
Farmer on his running horse But
tcrfly. He made the stretch easily
in 33H. A contest between tho
youngsters on their saddle horses
would be d fine additional at
