ON POLICE LIST
Ben Hollen was proof that q
crook doesn't have to be gen,
uine, dyed.in-the.wool public en-.
eny to gain Importance in the
eyes Of the police. He certainly
never had earned public enemy
rating and never would, but he
was pain In the neck No. to
the cops Just the same.
He was that dangerous and un.
desirable type Of citizen, q man
totally devoid Of conscience. A
small, troublesome gent who
would commit any crime If he
were sure Of not being caught.
There was no evidence against
him, and yet the finger Of guilt
pointed so Enthusiastically to Hollen
that he was marked down in the
books Of detective bureau as q
Menace pest who must be got
rid Of at any cost.
He walked back to the mean
street where he kept his poolroom
and soft drink counter, dreaming
dreams. He hadn't let on to that
silly, high.toned banker, Of course,
but Ben Hollen knew the secret Of
that $40 bill.
He knew where 1t had come from
and who had handed it to him. A
stranger. A man whom Ben had
suspected from the first moment
he laid eyes on him. Ben knew
there were q lot more twenty
case notes even before the banker
told him about the $50, 900 snatch,
and his mouth watered for them.
HEAVY STAKES
There was a back room in Ben's
place. Daytimes, groups Of men
sat around tables playing cards.
mostly pinochle and runmy.
Sometimes the stakes were heavy.
Not often, in the daytime. But at
night-ah, things were different
after the busy life of Ben'S neigh.
borhood had come to its midnight
pause and the obscure streets were
not safe for passersby.
You had to be known to join
the back room gang. Ben remem'
bered that q certain undercover
political manipulation had vouched
for the man called Goaty.
BEN PLANS CAREFULLY
With a roll like that Ben could
shut up shop, buy him q couple
of racehorseS and be a big-time
bookie travelling around the coun.
try, stopping at swell hotels, hob
|nobbing with big sports. Imagine
a guy like this Goaty walking
around the streets of town like
Los Angeles when he was hotter
than a firecracker back in the
Middle West! AS he thought about
it, Ben Hollen formed . plan, a
natural approach, that would
worm him into Goaty's confidence.
He watched for him eagerly as
midnight drew nearer. A few min

DEN HOLLEN stood at the
- receiving teller'S window
making his deposit when q
uniformed bank attendant t
touched his elbow. Ben started
nervously. He did not care for
the stealthy approach, even in
the assured safety Of a bank in
business hours. He liked uni
forms even less. They made
him think Of cops.
"well, whatcha want?" Ben
snarled.
"Mr. Whipple wants to see you
a minute" the attendant said.
Shutting over to the vice presi
dents desk In the corner, Ben
wondered what might be wrong
The vice president said
bruSquely: "Sit down, Mr.. Hol'

polite. He'd have been well
pleased If Hollen would take him
self and his business elsewhere
and Ben knew 1t. He sat down
The banker pushed a $40 bill to-

eyes off Mr.. Whipple while he
thought fast. When he looked up
his glance was Shifty.
"In my deposit, you say? Well,
I take in a double sawbuck every

even in my piddlin' little business
How do know where 1t come
from? Can I keep track Of every

you might be able to identify thIs

because there might be q piece
Of change in it for you. Look at
these marks. Observe, there on

in indelible ink. You can hardly
see it, can you? Here, use my
magnifying glass. Better now
isn't it?"
Ben looked up again. IT see the

Cards Cannot
Afford To Lose
Two To Reds

Cincinnati, Sept. 26-(UP)-The
Cincinnati Reds and the st. Louis
Cardinals begin a crucial series to-
day for the National League Pen
nant. Leading the race by three and
a half games with but seven to
play, the Reds can clinch the flag
this afternoon by defeating st. Louis
in both games of a doubleheader.
Or they can do it tomorrow and
the next day by winning the other
two games of the series. Two defeats
by the Reds, would put the Card
inals oft OF The race.
The Reds haven't won pennant
since 1919 and to local fans the
series was as exciting as the World
Series. An overflow crowd was as
sured for all games.
Red Manager Bill McKechnie
hoped to squelch the Cardinals
challenge quickly. He assigned
Bucky Walters, the best pitcher in
the league-an6, on the basis OF his
seasons record, q games won and
10 lost, the best in baseball-to pitch
the first game, and Junior Thomp-
son, a promising rookie who has
won II and lost five, to hurl the Sec
ond.
Davis to Start
Manager Ray Blades, who has
made the patchwork Cardinals
contenders If not champions in his
first year as a major league man
ager, countered with his veteran
ace, Curt Davis, who has won 20
and lsot IS, and his star rookie,
Morton Cooper, who has won 10 and
lost six.
In the last seven games between
the Cards and the Reds, Walters
has been the only Red pitcher to
win. He won twice. +
Both clubs have won seven games
in row, both are hot, and both are
at their best when the pressure Is
on.
