But what exactly had taken place? Had anybody else been wounded besides herself? Someone, perhaps, killed?
 At the thought of this possibility she twisted her hands neryously anxiously together. The Big Shot -Roy-was he safe? Where was she now?
 Her glance fell suddenly on newspaper that lay on the bedside table. For an instant she stared at it, then reached out and snatch ed it up.
 The captions that had caught her eye were set in big type at the head of two columns of text:
 JEWEL HIJACKERS FOILED;
 GIRL BANDIT SAVES GANG
 Enid read on. The story" de- tailed the suspicious of Patrolman Keeney on seeing three men at two o'clock in the morning enter the house where the mother of Twisty Morgan, notorious under world character, lived. He had crossed the road to investigate and found the door had been un- locked, presumably with a skeleton key.
 A brass chain on the door had been cut in two by some instrii-- ment introduced through the inch or two-inch opening which the chain, when intact, had permitted. Enid understood thatl That was Skinny's work-with the door tools that Izzy Myers had told him to take along.
 The next paragraph brought low, startled ejaculation from her lips. The gangs lookout" had been a girl-that was all that saved them The girl bandit had been posted on watch somewhere outside, so the paper said, Patrol man Keeney had seen her dart into the house to give the alarm while he was across the road telephoning to the station house for assistance to trap the men.
 The girl bandit The sudden re- alization that in the eyes of the law she was criminal, wanted with the rest of the gang, brought tears to Enid's eyes. How little she had weighed the price she must pay when she impulsiyely came to Roy's rescue.
 The rest of the newspaper ac- count she read almost mechanical ly. Some of the details she knew

 Harvard, Yale, Holy Cross, Penn sylvania. Georgetown and Syracus2 are listed in the mile college relay. New York University and Army are the other entrants. Harvard, which recently set new worlds indoor record of 3 minutes, 20 S-5 seconds for the distance, drew the outside position with Yale, which finished second to the Crimson indoors, at the pole.
 Syracuse's chances in the mile were given a jolt when Walter St. Clair, captain of the Orange team, injured a leg in a workout here Tuesday. He has not been able to do any work since then. but Coach Tom keene said he expected him to be in condition by Saturday.
 Pennsylvania, with one of the strongest teams in years, is pointing for three events besides the mile. They are the four mile relay, dis tance medley relay and decathlon. Barney Berlinger, all-around star of the Red and Blue, will defend his decathlon title. He appears in ex- cellent condition and said he would try to set up a new American record for the event.

 Between them, the Brooklyn Robins and Philadelphia Phillies have about the greatest array of sheer slugging talent any pair Of teams in the two major leagues can produce, but they haven't displayed it to 3. very good advantage through 1he first games. Their blows were rather weak and ineffective until they got together yesterday and then there were more than plenty.
 It all started when Fresco Thomp- son, Phillie lead man, hit a homer into the stands in the first inning. IL didn't end until the ninth inning when Spotts, Phillie catcher romped homo from third on Flow CTS error with the run that gave Philadelphia a 16 to l 5 victory. In between there came 3S hits, 2l of them going to the Phillies, a parade of pitchers and pinch hitters and ono big scoring rally after another. Starting with Jim Faulkner and end ing with Bill Clark. the Robins used six hurlers while the Phillies called on four. In all 55 players took part in the game. Southern and Thevenow of Philadelphia and Frederick and Flowers of Brooklyn took the leading slugging roles, yielding only to Chuck klcin's third homer of the season.
 The Brooklyn Philadelphia contest was the only major league game in the east which survived the wintry weather. One western contest in each league reached it's end while Pitts burgh tried to hold it's home opening against Cincinnati but gave it up in the third inning in a snowstorm.
 The Chicago Cubs got back above the 300 mark by beating out the St. Louis Cardinals, to in the other National league game. The Cubs got five runs in the third inning only to have the Cards get them all ley Grimm came through in the 9th with his third hit of the game to bring Hack Wilson home from third with the winning run. Charley Root, winning his first game of the year in three starts, outlastcd a trio of Cardinal pitchers.
 The St. Louis Browns were the only American leaguers to increase their average, defeating the Detroit Tigers for the second time in suc- eession, to 1. Dick Coffman was rather stingy with hits although generous with walks but the two Tiger hurlers. Herring and Samuels, gave freely of both at the times that counted. Schulte led the Browns with three hits in as many times at bat and was on the scoring end of a double steal.

 IN SECOND PLACE
Team Scores Fourth Straight
 Victory Over Jersey City
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
 Thanks to Jersey City, the Buffalo Bisons today are securely encamped in second place in the International League standings.
 A bit of timely slugging in the first four innings gave the Bisons their fourth straight victory over Jersey City yesterday, the score be- ing s to 4. Arrayed against the quartet of triumphs was lone de- feat by Newark. Incidentally it was Jersey Citys fifth consecutive set back of the season.
 Nick Allen. Jersey City manager w2S banished from the game in the sixth round for protesting Umpire Derr's decision but his forced walk out came after the Bisons had piled up a comfortable lead off Bream Lefty Doyle, who relieved Bream pitched brilliantly, letting the Bisons down with but three hits in the last five innings but the damage had been done.
 The Montreal Royals again were the victims of the Orioles bats as Baltimore stretched it's winning streak to seven games. The score was to 0. Bolen let the Canadians down with five hits, three of which were made by Haines and two by Urbanski. The defeat was the fourth handed the Royals by the league leaders.
 Cold weather shut down operations at Reading, where Rochester was scheduled to play and also the New ark Toronto game.

1 Information on the formation of the eastern section of the American Basketball League will be secured i by Manager Clarence Lanpher Of the New Britain team when he at- tends the meeting called by Pres- dent John O'Brien in New York ely next Tuesday night. The proposed eastern circuit will span cities be- tween Connecticut and Washington, r. e
 The only city in this state consi,l- cred as a possible entry in the American League is New Britain. AZ invitation has been issued to the | local manager to attend the meet ing and voice his opinions about the proposed circuit. Because there were so many applications fo' places in the league, it was found necessary to split the circuit into an eastern and western division.
 It is proposed to limit each team tc two recognized American League l stars. This will give every club T good nucleus for a quintet and will tend to make the circuit more even all around. Each section will prob- ably be limited to eight teams.
 Manager Lanpher in talking over the situation, declared that the only thing that will keep New Britain ont of the only major basketball league in the country, will be the que5- ton of finance. Being on his own with respect to the local combina- ton. Manager Lanpher feels that a proposition that would run into biz money, would find him outside the pale.
 One thing he will insist upon if New Britain is to become a mem- Der of the American League, will be the retention of admission pricss usually charged in this city. He and many others in touch with the sit- uation here, figure that New Britain would not support a team at the prices prevailing in some of the larger cities.
 If the proposition looks good, Manager Lanpher had made tenta- tive plans to get up a season ticket both for reserve and rush seats. The sale of enough of these would give him an excellent stake upon which to work in building of his New Britain team.
 The league proposition appears to be good one. During a season | like the one just past, the New Brit ain team was forced to play a seriss of exhibition games. Although the fans were pleased with the appear ance here of most of the big figures ir the game today, the basketball appetite was bound to become satis- isfied with exhibitions. Near the end of the season, there was noth- ing to excite the sporting instinct. There was no competition with rival team and the season faded out scv- eral weeks before the usual time.
 Playing league ball. there woul1 be this natural rivalry, especially If New Britain should be up in the standing. Then. there is a big sec tion to draw from including the towns and cities nearby.
 It is felt that, with all things be- ing equal American League basket ball would go very big in this city. Manager Lanpher expects an inter- csting session on April 29.

ROCKIES MAKING
 GOOD IN MAJORS
George Fisher Of Cards and Gus
 Suhr Of Pirates Lead

New York, April 4 UP)-George Fisher, St. Louis Cardinals outfield- CT, and Gus Suhr, Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman, arc setting the pace for the group of 20 rockies holding regular positions in 1930 major league lineups.
 Fisher, discarded by Manager John McGraw of the Giants as in capable of hitting big League pitch ing. is leading the National League batters with an average of .517. The @9-year rookie, slated for i'm mediate return to the minors, got a chance because of an injury to Ern- est Orsatti, and has made 15 hits, in cluding two doubles and a homerr in 2l times at bat.
 Suhr, purchased from San Fran cisco at a reported price of s5O,oOO, is living up to his coast slugging record with an average of .43S in six games.
 Outfielder Smead Jolly. another lar coast product, has made the best record of the four rockies playing regular positions with the Chicago White SoX. Manager Donie Bush is fayorably impressed with the showing ot Jolly, catcher John Riddle, short stop Ernie Smith and outfieldcr James Moore and predicts that the entire quartet will make good.
 Manager Bob Shawkey of the Yankees has been less fortunate with his rockies. Third bascman Ben Chapman is clouting 300 and field ing well but Dusty Cooke made q weak start in left field and has been bcnched temporarily.
 The Giants also opened the sea- son with two new faces in their lineup and outficldcr Waffle Roctt- ger. secured in the trade which sent Fisher to the Cards. appears to have solved McGraw's center field prob- lem. Eddie Marshall has been field ing scnsationally at second base but must improve his batting to keep his place.
 Jonah Goldman. CleveIand's loohlS SIol lStop' dIlu ollS Nllllcr, Red SoX third baseman, also have shown we'll in the field but disap- pointing at bat.
 Tony Cuccinello, new Reds third bascman, and Charley Englc, filling il for the Pirates during Pie Tray nor's illness, are fielding capably and have identical batting averages Of PIP.
 Johnny Neun. who had a previous trial with the Tigers. has displaced George Sisler at first base for the Braves. Rookie Bill Sweeney failed to hit and is sharing the Red Sox first base assignment with the vcter- an Phil Todt.
 John stone, purchased from Tor onto. has clubbed the ball for 400 average and appears to have won the center field post with the Tigers ov- cr Elias Funk. former Yankee.

I JoustOn. Texas. April o4 (P)

Houston, Texas, April A (P) - Sung by defeat, Claude Bracey, the Dixie express. is sharpening his spikes to regain lost prestige.
 The Rice Institute sprinter, who isn't used to seeing anyone in front of him when he dashes through the tape, has taken to starting blocks to prepare for coming meets since Cy Leland of Texas Christian university beat him in the 100 and 20 yard dashes at Fort Worth.
 Bracey is expected to be in the national collegiate meet in Chicago this June. He has tied the world record of 9.6 seconds for the 100 yard dash and twice has made it in the unofficial time of 9.4.
 The swift boy isn't fond of the blocks, but his coach, Ernie Hjert- berg, thought it a good idea.
 "Everybody's doing it." said Hjertberg, ''so Braccy might as well get used to them now"
