 dressed in the garh of priest, who attempted to engage him in conyer- sation after the departure of the two men who had taken his money. The man followed him from Beaver street to Sexton street, trying to stop him and engage him in conversation all the time. The police are satis- lied that the man was a confederate of the two men who had taken Domanski's money, and whose duty 1t was to occupy as much of the cobbler's time as possible to give the other two opportunity to make a clean getaway.
 Domanski said that he first met Astolsh when the latter called at his cobbler shop, saying that he intend ed to buy piece of property in the city, and asking Domanski If he knew of any property for sale. Domanski said that he did and told him of several properties that could purchased. The two men then started out to look at some property. Domanski wanted to go to Lawlor street. but Astolsh insisted that they go and look at some property on Clark street.
 Tells Hard Luck Story
 They proceeded out Clark street and came upon a man, alleged to have been Borase, who was standing against a tree crying and moaning in heartrending manner. His sympathy aroused. Domanski asked him what the trouble was. The man told his that his trouble was great and that If Domanski could prove that he was good Catholic and Polish gentlemtn, he would tell it to him. Domanski assured the weep ing man that he was good Catho- lie and Polish so the story was un- folded.
 The mans father, Domanski was told, was formerly contractor in the city but had suffered reverses and gone into bankruptcy He then went to California where he was more successful and had accumu- lated sufficient money to pay back the money to all who had suffered from his bankruptcy. But fearing that his III health would prevent his coming across the continent. he sent for the son. who was then in the old country according to the story. The son went and the father turned over $14,O00 to him 10 take to New Britain and pay up his debts here.
 The man told Domanski that his fathers instructions were for him to locate an honest Polish gentleman on his arrival here to entrust the money to and who was to take charge of paying off the debts. The father gave him the name of such man. but when the son arrived here. he found that the man had died. and in the meantime. his

Ffather had died and he had to hur- ry back to California as soon as he could locate somebody to turn the money over to.
 He Didn't See the $t4,000
 He then took a wallet from his pocket that was bulging. and which Domanski was told contained. the s14.000. The man then fell to his knees. and renewed his moaning and weeping. saying that if he was only sure that Domanski vas an honest Polish gentleman he would entrust the money to him. He said that he would give the money to him and Astolsh for distribution if they would put up a bond. Their re- ward for their services would be $i,o0O each. the man told them. Astolsh produced s1.1oo from his pocket and said he would post 1t as bond, and Domanski said that he would post his bank book. Both men told him that 1t would be nec- essary 10 get the cash for a bond and sent him to the bank 10 get 1t. He went to the bank and drew out 5000 with the understsn snding that as he was putting up the largest sum. he would have the custody of the money.
 Astolish was waiting outside the bank for him, and when they start edSoff to meet their new found friend, they went in and bought 8 box to hold the money. They met the man on Lawlor street and the agreement was made that all the money would be placed In the box and the three would. then proceed to a lawyer to assure all concerned that the transaction was all right.

 The wallet containing the $14,000 was placed in the box first, then As tolish put his SLIGO in the box and Domanski placed his sa,oOo on top, keeping his hand on 1t all the time as he was becoming alarmed at the unusual proceedings. Astolsh then took out a package of cigarettes and offered Domanski one. Domanski attempted to take one but Astolsh held them so tight he was unable to extricate one with his hand still holding onto his money, so he let go of the money and took the ci- garette and lighted It.
 ~When he looked at the box again, 1t looked just the same excepting that handkerchief had been thrown over it. He was about to look under the handkerchief when both men assured him that every thing was all right and placed the cover on the box. They then start ed off to the lawyers office. but Astolsh suggested that they look at piece of property on Beaver street, Domanski carrying the box contain ing the money.
 After looking at the house, they walked along and Astolsh decided he wanted to change his clothes and went into the house where he was rooming. The other man went in with him to make sure that he hur- ried and that was the last seen of them by Domanski who was left on the sidewalk with the box of money. When the two did not return, he

BIG TEN FIGHT
BETWEEN TWO
ELEVENS
Michigan and Illinois Likely
Will Be Rivals For
Grid Title
A. j. SCHINNER.

MILWAUKEE,, Sept. 11.-You are
going to hear much relative to the
football prospects Of Michigan, Hi.
nois, Chicago and Iowa during the
next few weeks. The consensus of
preseason opinion has it that Michi.
gan and Illinois will fight it out
for the Big Ten title this season
with the odds tavoring another
wild gallop by Red Grange to OH
more championship.
Michigan and Illinois will have
their little party quite early this
year-October IS, to be exact-the
date being the same on which the
Badgers grapple their ancient toe,
the Gophers. After that the rest
of the football world will be free
to give a bit more attention to
some of the other, more slowly
evolving machines in the Big Ten.
Little has been said about Wis
consin or Minnesota. The aurora
Of Red Oranges auburn thatch has
blinded most of the experts, and
the center of interest will be at
Champaign until such a day when
Grange is stopped. Rest assured
however, that Wisconsin and Min
nesota will have powerful teams
this season. Both, in a sense, quail
ify as the mystery nags Of the
derby with the October 18 clash
giving a true insight to the class
of the respective teams.

McGraw, however, feels that De-

brainY backstop for hurlers. Devine
left Reading last night to join the
Giants after it had been reported
he would go to Connie Mack, who
had scouts trailing him for many
weeks.
Devine has had a checkered
career in baseball. He went from
New Haven in 1917 to the Red Sox
and played there until 1919. He
was shipped to Toronto in 1920 and
played HIS first game in Reading
when Hughey Duffy was with the
