rights and scuttled Pete Legge of the
National Guard after minute Of
fighting in the third and final round
of their bout to gain the Anal in the
147-pound class. Mason put the
chill on Pasquale Iacangelo Of No. 10
Boys Club, 80 seconds after the start
of the third round to reach the final
in the 160-pound division.
Feather Bout a Thriller.
Most thrilling performance of the
evening was turned in by Gilbert
Mayo of st. Mary's and Tony
De Toto of No. 4 Boys Club, in the
senior featherweight division. Mayo,
sending salvo of murderous rights

Resuming their drive for the

Little Blackburn Left His
Mark on Sam Lonoford

"Was old Sam carrying you?" I
asked Blackburn once.
Jack grinned. "Ask him to show
you those three missing teeth I
knocked out in our last fight" he
said.
And I'd like to give you Harry
Greb, who at 160 was whipping
Gene Tunney and Tom Gibbons and
who mauled Jack Dempsey all over
the ring in workout. He almost
wrecked 180-pound Jack Dillon, the
Killer.
Greb thought nothing of giving
away 20, 80 and 40 pounds. And he
still would win in a common canter.
The all-time top in tennis for
the little man was Little Bill john
ston of California, now living quiet
" along the Pacific.
Little Bill once told me his normal
weight was around 116 pounds. Yet
in 1919 he beat Big Bill Tilden three
out of four sets for the champion
ship and always carried Big Bill
head and head into the stretch.
Johnston had a forehand drive
worthy of some one who weighed
more than ITO pounds. 1t was ter
rif1c-smoking hot.
And, of course, there still is Bryan
(Bitsy) Grant of Atlanta, who only
recently defeated Bobby Riggs in
Florida.
saw Bitsy take the measure of
Ellsworth Vines as an amateur when
Vines was on top. He was about the
toughest little chunk of human flesh
that tennis ever has known. And
he still is.

and tossed off his own at gulp
Drew long sigh.
"Ah, that's better. If you don't
mind :"
He poured himself out another
one, and made it both shorter and
weaker.
Gould I bother you for a ciga-
ret ?"
Trent passed his case, without a
word. Gun took one, lit it, and in,
hailed luxuriously.
How long will that pellet I gave
Hazeldeane keep him quiet ?" Gun
asked.
"Oh, IL no one actually shakes
him, about four hours"
Gun made a calculation.
That's all right, them he OBJ
served. with satisfaction.
"Oh. hen be quiet enough. Now,
what have you to nell me?"
Gun pulled his ciga:et. and
smiled blandly at his interlocutor.
In the first place, Mr.. Trent,
that you are a very ingenious per-
son. This persuasion by limited
diet and comfort is the most ef-
fective thing Of its kind I've struck
yet. 1t weakens a mans will, and
loosens his principles, as no
amount of mere physical torture
would. And"
mo doubt" Trent interrupted,
roughly. But l didn't bring you
here to tell me that. know it
already Now, out with it. what
have you got to propose p"
Il was about to say Gun per-
sisted, gently, that; although it is
excellent in its way. it has rather
defeated its own object in my case.
But only temporarily, OF course,
BY which l mean that such small
amenities as food, drink, washing
and so on have now assumed so
much Importance to me, that l find
l cannot say word-or if you pre-
fer it, l WILL not say a word
until have had a meal, wash
and at least two hours sleep on
a real bed. After that. as your
countrvmen say. l shall be ready
to talk turkey
Trent sneered:
"Oh. no you don't. Talk first
grub afterward-a all the rest"
Gun appeared suddenly to lose
his tempe Il seemed obvicus that
his nerves were completely I'M
strung!
Look here, blast you! With
your devilish cunning. you've made
me lose grip on my principles. I'm
going to turn lousy traitor. just
because can't stand it any longer.
But by God, / won't say a word
until I've had what I've asked for.
Give me that meal and a wash and
a bed, and you can wake me in two
hours and I'll talk. Refuse-and
you can damn well take me back
to your bloody hen-coop. But you
won't get.a cluck out OF me, now
or at any other time-not IL you
starve me to death twice over.
See?"
Trent eyed him narrowly.
Look here, my friend, you're
not trying to pull my leg, are you?
You've really got something 10 say,
haven't you? Because I don't like
being made a fool OF, and you'll
be mighty sorry later If you try it,"
Gun shrugged.
You'll have to take your chance
Of that. But I've got something to
say. all right. Look here, I'll be
quite frank with you'll put my
cards on the table. Trent, can't
tell you much myself Hazeldeane
keeps his secrets very tight, and
I'm only his assistant. But I've got
a plan for making him talk-to

Gun obediently turned to the left
and found himself in a small room
furnished like an Office. For a mo-

bright light.

with your electric light, and what
not. aren't you? I mean, for an
isolated spot like this"
was n leading question, and
for the moment Trent fell for it.

we've got pretty good engineers,
you know, and money isn't short.

stopped suddenly. How the hell

Of publicity"
Gun was talking mainly to gain
time, and was unobtrusively ex-
aiming the room while he talked.
1t was plainly furnished with
roll-top desk. a couple of brentwood
chairs, a small table and a steel
filing cabinet. The walls were deco

his automatic to one of the small

the physical exhaustion which that
short but sharp walk had pro-
duced. 1t showed how Trents diet
was getting him down.
Trent dropped into the chair by
the desk, and laid his pistol on 1t.
