phoned at once TO Roche; and be was
so much startled at my story that I
had great difficulty In making him
understand where he was to 20. and
what he was to do. At last he agreed
to come at once.

in the vault, comforting with BARLEY
and Black. II had been decided to
guard the place until morning, when
the whisky could be removed. The
chauffeur was to be taken to the Sar-

When we reached the house. Mrs
Currie came to meet us. At the sight
Of her husbands black eye which by
this time was very noticeable. and
the ruin of Bartley's white suit, she

He went TO a nearby table, took
something from each pocket and
placed them carefully upon 1t. He
then stood looking down at them
proudly.
"A little souvenir of the nights
work." he remarked. pointing to two
bottles of whisky which he had taken,
without our knowing it. from the box
that BARLEY had opened in the vault.

Batting by Change

Said Jack BENTLEY when men
ti0n was made Of the similarity
of his batting position TO Ruth
II used TO take the long, hard
cut at the bah Ruth takes. but
found myself stepping out too
much. You have to take that
kind of a swing to hit them as
far as Ruth does, but l found
out that If wanted to strike out
less and make more base hits I'd
have to tighten up and ] aid. II
seemed TO me that by making the
change l was playing more for
