- despite - despite his crookedness.
Those men in there - they've got
something against him." she shivered
Torelli losing steadily for the past
five months! 1t was just about five
months ago, McLennon realized, when
he unearthed that Mayan talisman!
I'D leave him." she sobbed, "only
that I'm afraid - deathly afraid of
him. Oh, take me with you, Phil"
she begged piteously. Don't - don't
leave me again ="
He was about to gather her in his
arms when the expression in her eyes
underwent swift change, was starkly
riveted on something behind him.
McLennon turned. Torelli was in the
room, had entered by some secret
door, and was walking toward them,
noiselessly, his left hand thrust into
the pocket of his coat. The deadliness
of his look froze McLennon.
"Sure," Torelli said quietly, "you
can 60 with him! Wrap him up and
take him to the morguev'
The first shot mingled with pierre
ing scream as Louise lunged forward
for Torelli's left arm. How she ever
managed to save him from death,
McLennon didn't know Miraculously
the bullet missed him! Buried itself
in the red lacquered wall! In the next
instant he struck for the mans chin,
partly missed him, and as the two of
them went down, McLennon fighting
for the gun, it exploded again, and
Torelli sagged, bullet in his groin.
Sliding doors rammed open, and
three men came running out. Louise
had tainted, dropped to the floor, her
white figure inert on the black rug.
"You witnessed thatv' McLennon
appealed to the three men, hardly
knowing what he was saying. "He
tried to kill me Il was struggling for
his gun -"
Witnessed nothing!' one of them
said. 1--WE came here to get the rat
ourselves"
There was no opposition to their
exit through the corridor. Silence
everywhere! Torelli and Louise lying
side by side - very still!
McLennon picked her up, carried
her from the room. The man guarding
the front door was gone. The apart
ment had been emptied as if by magic.
He got water, took his handkerchief
and began to battle her forehead. His
brain commenced to function again.
He must phone the police, cancel his
trip to England, protect Louise in
every way he could.
At last she opened her eyes and
looked at him. Philip McLennon
couldn't speak. He owed his life to
her. He could only gaze at her in awe.
For all her quickness, he still didn't
know. couldn't think, how she had
prevented his death! A miracle!
Her hand was clenched tight, and
he sought gently to open it, trying to
comfort her and soothe her. Slowly
the taut fingers relaxed. She had been
clutching something, and McLennon
gasped when he saw it,
The Mayan talisman!

The "G-Men" got their men
again last night, shooting them
down mercilessly after a long
and bitter fight. But the battle
was on the basketball court of
George Washington University in
the Police Boys Club Tourna-
ment and the opponents of J.
Edgar Hoover's men were the
five of the Jewish Community
Center. The score was 26 to "a,

the lightest member of the Pitt
squad, and he scales 164 pounds.
Punting may play an important
part in the outcome of the game.
The PantherS have no kicker to
match Elmer Logg, Washington's
capable punter.
The Seattle redhead sure can
kick 'em, and he should aid his
team materially throughout the
contest.
For a time these past several
days it was feared that the bowl
might be deep with mud for the
Pitt-Washington game, just as it
was for the Stanford Columbia
game of 1884. However, the tor
rental rains have ceased and it is
now figured that a dry field will
be available.
The consensus among foot
ball man on the Coast is that
the game will prove a toss-up.
Some say that Pitts young aggre-
cation. composed mostly of sophs
and juniors may play inspired
football to defeat Washington vet
Grams who are a bit fed-up, per-
haps, on the game.

Those things we plan in an et-
fort to build a greater AAU.
Looking back on 1886, we find
we are emerging from one Of the
most active and successful seasons
the organization has known. The
selection of the Olympic teams
added impetus to many sports un.
der A. A. U. jurisdiction and proved
the incentive for the athletes OF
America to create a multitude OF
new records.
Track and field reached a new
high during the year, indoor and
outdoor meets all over the nation
bringing out athletes who went on
to sweep the Olympic games and
maintain Americas unbroken Su-
premacy.
Maintains Place
America also maintained It's
place among the leading nations
in swimming, and set many new
records. :.
The mems national basketball
championship at Denver and the
women'S at Wichita, Kan, at
tracted great fields from many
States; the boxing championships
at Cleveland brought forth the
greatest entry in the history OF
the event.
The A. A. U. broadened out and
admitted to allied membership
the Catholic Youths Organization
and the United states Junior AS
sociation OF Commerce; many in
dustrial plants revived athletics,
and there was a substantial in
crease in the number of registered
athletes.
With that great year as step
ping stone, the A. A. U. will strive
and cooperate to bring healthful
recreation and athletics to the
youth of the Nation during 1887.

Cambria had interjected into the
proposition, some of which he re-
ceived.
Cambria is reported in Balti-
more to have "held out' for a big
ger offer in view of the fact that If
Albany was transplanted to Jersey
City's new WPA-conStructed Roose-

pay an average of 81 each to see
the opening game there next April,
a few days ahead of the major
league opinings when the fans
are hungry for their baseball.
There the Giants would get a sub
stantial amount of their invest
ment Immediately.
So, in four years, Cambria, who
lost no money in Albany over that
period, realizes an approximate
profit Of $4,000, some of which
may find it's way into skating
rink in washington.
Had Eye on jersey
It was reported that meanwhile
Cambria was trying to negotiate
directly with Mayor Hague, of Jer.
sey City, for the baseball rights in
the stadium, which is just about to
be completed.
Cambria, because of his business
cupidity, which often exceeded
mere shrewdness, was considered
by many baseball men a thorn in
their sides. Last summer he &C
cused the International League
as trying to starve him out, charg-
ing he had been Disseminated
against in the matter of night
baseball games by the schedule
makers.
He was ever quick to see a way
to make a dollar as we'll as to
save one, as evidenced by his IA

came owner of Albany he was
fined severely by Judge Lands
for allegedly violating some tenet
Of the game having to do with
player manipulation.
