CARRIED NO WEAPONS
The prison guards went about
as ordinary bosses and carried no
weapons. The men allowed
considerable freedom and some
apparently had been able to go
into Buckley where they were
occasional patrons of the state
liquor store. II is believed some
of them even got down to Tacoma
on occasion.
However, those who took
advantage Of the system were

this week and Wednesday

NINE DIDN'T WAIT

Nine of them didn't wait TO
pack, but slid out under the back
flaps of their tents and dropped
down the embankment behind the
row of tents. The guards had no
way of stopping them and they
vanished into the woods.
IL developed that eight hung
together, making their way
down toward the school by
following the pipe line. When
they got near the school, Box
and Forsyth separated from
the others.
Forsyth said he had friends in
the Enumclaw Are only a few
miles away where he believed he
could hide, and he kept Box with
him because Box had a few
dollars.
None of the other six, MOI
this pair, had any weapons.
When they parted company, the
two and the six. they were on a
small mountain along which a
spur railroad runs.
WORD GIVEN OUT
The warden got out word of the
escapes to the state patrol and
TO the sheriff's office here.
Rain poured down all morning
and well into the afternoon and
the escaped men had wet going.
A small section house on the
railroad was broken into by the
group of six who helped them
selves to shoes and rainprocf
coats. Box and Forsyth knew
nothing of this and when Painter
and Armstrong got them. found
their prisoners soaked to the skin.
FIRE Is DOWNFALL
However. il was the fire Box
and Forsyth built to warm them
selves and to dry their clothes
that gave them away. The smoke
was seen by the officers who thus
came to the thicket in which. sup
posedly most of the gang had TAX
en- refuge.
However, the six mentioned by
Box and Forsyth must have gone
considerably higher up on the
mountain. because Painter ex-
changed whistles with them,
thinking the whistles came from
members of the sheriff's party.
Later he learned his own associ-
ates were below him at some dis
lance and had not whistled.

 Unquestionably, the crowd of more than Notwithstanding 9,468 cash customers, must have sensed the drama that was unfolding before it's eyes there in the ring light in Madison Square Garden, as young Allie Stolz grinned in the 10th round and refrained from giving the coupe dc grace to Chalky Wright, an elderly, helpless Negro who tottercd about the ring on rubber legs.
 They were fighting for shot at the lightweight crown-for 8 big money title fight with champion Sammy Angott at the Garden on Nov. 13-and 8 kayo would have meant much to the record of Stol7 who almost licked Angott last May But Stolz, a 23-year old kid from Newark, N. J., with curly brown hair

 Tenth; Both Hit Low

New York, Aug. 7-UP)-Allie Stolz of Newark, N. J., No. light weight contender, clinched a return shot at champion Sammy Angott's title on Nov. 13 by winning a To- round decision over featherweight champion Chalky Wright last night at Madison Square Garden.
 Most of the 9,468 cash customers thought Stolz could have knocked out Wright in the 10th round, and 23-year-old Stolz admitted in the dressing room that he had "carried' the ancient Los Angeles negro throughout most of the last session.
 Wright, recognized as feather weight king in New York state, was not defending his title because it was an over the-weight match in which Stoltz scaled 132 IA pounds, and Wright 128.
 Won But One
 Wright provided competition in the early sessions. but won only one round on the United Press score sheet = the fifth, on foul. He had taken that frame by a wide margin, regardless. Chalky was penalized the third and fourth for low blows. He faded after the fifth, and was in trouble during the re- mainder of the bout. After hook to the chin early in the 10th, Stolz held him up for the rest of that round,

 It took SatcIel Paige and his great Kansas City Monarchs 13 in- nings to down the Giants in Mil- waukee last month when Charlie Sheilds, the Chicagoans star south paw finger outpitched Paige only to have the winning run scored through a balk. Sheilds is the No. 1 finger on the strong Giants hurling sta1 which also includes four other aces including right handlers Bud Thompson, former Philadelphia Stars chuckers and Connie" Cor nelius, and pair of stellar left handlers in Art West and "Wes'' Farrell.
 Other boys in the Chicago lineup who will bear watching are Alex Radcliffe, hitting star of the past three East-Wes colored series, and Ralph Wyatt, 8 home town boy of the Windy City, who Is under the surveillance of the White Sox and Cubs major league scouts in the event that the big leagues begin their "blitz" on the colored teams.

DOUCHERTY AND DOLAN IN TWO
 HEADLINE BOUTS
Moore and Roach, COlOred ClOuters Meet Fighting
 Irish; KOvach vs lakes

Lightweights and welterweights will be in the spotlight in two eight round feature bouts on tonight's professional boxing card at Ram dolph- Cloves Stadium, scheduled starting at 8:30 p. m.
 Irish Eddie Dolan, local southpaw welter, who looked good in stopping Rego Dell two weeks ago, will take on Larney Moore, hard hitting New York 147-pounder, in one of the eight rounders.
 The other eight will match Irish Matt Dougherty, highly regarded Milwaukee lightweight, with Whist ling Willie Roach, slambang Wil- mington, Del. scrapper, who made short work of his bout with Angelo Gonzales last week.
 Dolan Is slight favorite to out- box his younger and heavier oppo- nent but Moore is more aggressive than Dell and hit hard enough to knock Eddie or any other welter- weight kicking-with one punch. Larney was one of the stars of the New York Journals diamond belt tournament and is a converted southpaw.
 A stablemate of Roach, Moore recently chalked up two one-sided wins over Milo Thedorescu and has kayo wins over Dick Fuller and Marty King. He won decision over Van McNutt and lost 8 close decision to Augie Angarano, full 1edged 165-pounder.
 Roach We'll Liked
 Dolan has always been big card here but Roach made such hit in his local debut last week that just as many fans will be on hand to see what Willie can do with Dougherty, one of the midwest's outstanding 135-pounders.
 Roach is 8 great crowd pleaser who never stops wading in throwing punches. Dougherty is said to pos- sess the same style and has won 8 majority of his 46 professional bouts.
 Joe Jakes, Brooklyn light-heavy- weight who recently gave Tommy Campanella plenty of trouble, will take on Dula Kovach, rugged Naug- atuck 175-pounder in the feature of the supporting card. They are down for six rounds.
 Tom Collins, willing local welter- weight, will mix 1t with Willie Shanks of Montreal, in a four round bout while a second four matches Young Moriarty, local feather weight, against Kid Spider of Bridgeport.
 The first preliminary will get un- der way at 8:30 o'clock.
