 The friends of Dick Dunn said he could not fail to achieve success' He has been in the sports business since knee pants days. He Is the son of John F. Dunn. old promoter of the Coney Island Sporting club, a success 30 years ago.
 "Dick" worked for Rickard In the old and new Garden. He has achieved success in Detroit by turn ing the Olympia arena from a hop into a thriving business enterprise.
 When Dunn became manager Of the arena about year ago 1t was a losing venture. Within 12 months Dunn took in 3400,O00 on Arena boxing contests. He also developed hockey and other sports as major attractions.
 The young promoter started de- livering press notices for his father. He was l2 years old. Next he was with P. T. Powers and Harry Pol lock, promoters of six-day bicycle races. Before Rickard came to the Garden. Dunn was telephone operator in the superintendent's office. Usher, he was, and also ticket taker, ticket seller, conces- sion manager. time keeper. assistant superintendent and superintendent.
 "Dick" went to the world war with the 365th machine gun bat talion of New York's own 77th di- vision. Bact in Now York. he went to work for Rickard as his as- sistant. When Detroit wanted a manager, Promoter Rickard recom- mended "Dick" and here he came.
 Like the late 'Tex," Dunn be- lieves in giving the public what 1t wants, and he subscribes to the policy that the public always is right.
 Dick" has made money on every boxing show here. The Heeney- Risko bout, his first. drew $777,O00. Jimmy McLarnin and Loayza drew &63, 900, and gates of $40, ,0O0 to t60, 900 have been regular occurrences

The South church will attempt 10 ward off an invasion from South ington tonight when the "Y" team from that town comes over to meet the locals in a County "" league game at the Boys club.

But New Britt ain also needs the game to keep in the neck and-neck race with Plain. vile, and every effort will be made by the locals to send Southington home on the short end of the score.

Endees Anxious to Annex Second Game of Series Here Tonight-Hardware City Quintet Ready for Bitter Battle -Struchbury Makes First Appearance With the Team-Bel Towners to Use Strongest Lineup Winters to Referee
Lincups

A confident quintet of basketball players will invade this city tonight in quest of it's second victory of the week when the Bristol Endees take the floor against the New Britain team in the second game of homo and home series. Bristol holds the enviable position of being the driver of the cart following its stunning victory over New Britain last Wed- nesday night by the score Of s1 ts 19. New Britain has its back to the wall to slave off defeat and per- haps the beginning of basketball oblivion as far as the present sea- son is concerned.
 The battle tonight will. according to all advance dope. be a replica of the breath-taking contest fought out in Bristol Wednesday night. Then. amid frenzy of noise produced by cowbells, hoarse threats and other noise making inventions, the two teams staged an epic struggle that is absolutely belied by the difference in the scores.
 The prediction is that New Britain will win tonight The team played as we'll as Bristol Wednesday night but it failed in the important task of dropping the ball through tho hoop. Bristol sank its shots.
 The teams will line up practically the same as in the first game. Struchbury, former American league star. will appear with New Britain for the first time tonight. He will paid up with Sloman in forward. Zakzewski will jump center, with Sheehan and Leary at the guards. Bristol will start Richtmyer and Picken at forwards. Richman will play the pivot while Manning and Waterman will play guards.
 Gus Winters, leading court official in Springfield and it's environs, will be the 11th man on the floor. The contest will start about g o'clock.

 It would be impossible to say any one of the Corbin Screw team excel led. They all played q mighty fine game of basketball. "Nippy" Ny borg of K.

uuisite and slender hand in his,
adding with a wistful, penetrant
sweetness. And for you, Guy,
it won't be a lonely adventure,

She lowered her head quickly,
making a pretenSe of taking the

relatively and with a catchy
laugh: AT any rate you mustn't
let your dog lure my son
from me-"
He went with her to the door.
Afterwards he remembered with
terrible bitterness the call he
had seen in Barbara'S eyes.
But in the hours after that
brief visit, he was aware only
of stormiilg unrest. Nancy'S
whitening news was true. Bryce
was in Jam. His daughter

the facts. So nothing would

might pass in unproductive
waiting. Guy recalled the trust
in pair of glowing emerald
eyes laughing up to his in the
moonlight. He gathered blue
prints into a bundle and
slammed the drawer on them.
That evening he stood in the
Dawn kitchen helping Pat get
the dinner.
Pat lifted a spoon from a
saucepan. With a smirk of
satisfaction she tasted gravy
she was making. Hmm, de-
licious! It's a nifty cook you're
acquiring, lad. But what did
Bryce say? Was he very ex-
cited about the notice?"
Finally, because she was very
insistent, Guy t9ld her of
Bryce's absence: of the halting

of production: of his colossal
losses in the stock market.
Neither o. them saw Laura.
She entered from the patio.
She stood at the door quietly
removing Int and gloves. She
ran a hand slowly over her rich,
warm mass of auburn hair.
She leaned there abnormally
white, abnormally tense. She
said with high, unnatural gal
ETY.: Dinner ready? How lovely
of you'll"
She heard all that Guy said.
And she had Just come from
meeting with william Bryce.
She had just handed over to
him the $4,000 that remained
of Richards legacy.
Was the money safe? She
put the burning question secret
ly to Guy. Long after midnight
he was still pondering it.
Surely yes! Bryce couldn't be
guilty of misusing the life
savings of his dead friend.
But 2,200 shares of Crystal
Power at $40 a share " =" This
was the investment William
Bryce suggested for Laura
Dawn. In this he would put
her money.
Guy repeated to himself,
"Ten dollars share-whew!
Three months ago, Bryce had
given Guy a tip on this stock.
It was then selling at 80
cents. II it had already in
creased 1000 per cent, what
further chance had it now in
a declining market? And sup
pose it dropped back to 80
cents? Laura'S heritage
shrunk to a pittance, to 1880!
This could easily happen.
But an uglier fear came sneak
ing again and again into Guys
mind. would Bryce take
Laura's money to cover his
own notes? Could he be so bit
terly pressed that he might be
driven to it? And then If he
crashed?
He got up finally. utterly
worn. It would be difficult to
get the facts. 1t might already
be too late to recover Laura's
money.
In the morning he went to
Nancy's office. A man was just
leaving. Guy heard him say:
Then we can expect more mar
gin by noon, today? We simply
can't carry the account any
longer"
BY noon," Nancy replied,

but pool manipulation caused
it. They've had their killings.
Don't be a sucker and fall for
it now. The cream is all
SKINNED. Crystal Power is
through"
Guy walked down Montgom-
cry Street wondering in what
way he could approach Bryce;
by what tactics he might re-
cover the money upon which
the whole Dawn family so COM
pletely depended. With these
funds gone they would be home
less, ruthleSsly cleaned.
He went up to Bryce's office.
The look Of the man was reas-
suring. Bryce wore a gray suit
with a little patch Of yiolets in
his buttonhole. He came for
ward and put an affectionate
arm on Guys shoulder. This

softly.
She cupped her chin in her
palm and asked dreamily:

that"
Alone, Barbara"
Color swept to her soft, gold
hair. Even her eyes flushed.
She said, in a high, happy
tone, "I've not planned all the
details. And you, Guy"
"It will be long before I'm
free for such adventure. We're
making no progress"
oh, don't be dlSheartened.
Every year won't be like this.
You've been delayed, of course
that break in the market and
now the slump in real es-

She spoke as though every
one in the world knew that
millions had been lost-even
that Bryce himself was hard
pressed.
"Yes," said Guy, concealing
his hot excitement.
But father tells me the stock

Nothing more tangible?"
Nancy tapped her foot. "Yes.
There's his luck. It never fails.
He picked off $4,000 yesterday.
God knows from where. I
gather that he'll loot the rest
today"
For a goading hour, Guy con-
sidered the prickly situation.
Bryce was holding Laura'S
money to meet his notes. Al
most certainly. She might never
regain a penny.
Yet-and Guy dwelt insist
emily on the chance-Bryce
might have bought Crystal

He finally drove to town. He

They went parrying back and
