Replete with hard-riding, gun fights and two-fisted action, the story, laid in the Old West, also introduces a baffling bank robbery that O'Brien, as a young rancher, sets out to solve. His eventual success in thi.dangerous venture is accomplished only after many breath-taking ad-

ESCAPED CONVICT CAPTURED BY GUARD

ROCKFORD, III., Aug. 18. (UP) Charles Emmerson. .'i7. one of two convicts who escaped from the state penitentiary at Joliet Wednesday and kidnaped a guard and elderly Ohio couple, was captured near his home by a prison guard today. He was not carrying a fun and offered no resistance. Apparently he had been heading for his home to see his wife and two children. He escaped from the prison with John McGuire, 86, Chicago. Both were trusties.

Running true to pre-tourney predictions R. Grimes of Russellville i copped the singles horseshoe tournament and first prize of a pair of !: igl - Ringer horseshoes at the Robe Ann courts last night. The toumey was conducted by the Greencastle 1 Recreational Board. Grimes defeated S. Phillips in the final games 23-25; 25-16; 25-10. This I was by far the most interesting match of the tourney. Time and time again each player would toss two ringers at each trial. Matches leading to the finals were; J Arnold defeated R. Cagle 25-11, 25 ;. S Phillips defeated it. Phillips 25-16, 25-4; T. Tharp defeated T. Brown 25-13, 25-15; H. Smith deeated D. Robinson 25-22, 25-8; B. Jarvis defeated H. McMaster 22-26 25-4, 25-5; H. Smith defeated B. Jar25 18 18-25 25-22; S.

Nearer a victor than ever before this season the Colored Giants muffed their chances of having at least one win checked to their credit when they failed to rally sufficiently in the seventh inning in the game with Morton last evening. This makes the seventh straight loss for the colored

In the second game the Putnamville team could only muster eight players but even with the lack of one man they won by a 16-7 score. For Northern Indiana Sutherlin and Johnson hit doubles and for Putnamville Pigg was again the power house with his two home runs and two doubles. Fisher of PutnamvL'.le

also got a two base hit.

In the game previous to this, played by Putnamville against Morton, Pigg got four straight hits and added three more to his record last night before he made an out. He had four hits in six times up to bring his

• When the whistle blows this evening at 8:30 and the fans choice meets the state champions there will be at least the above local player there on the hardwood fighting to make a name for Greencastle’s basketball

ability.

In the starting lineup there will be Don Frazier and as a substitute player, and sure to see plenty of action, there is George Taylor. Both of the local players will be in the red, white and blue uniforms of the All-stars fighting to win from the

Frankfort Hot Dogs.

Stopping Johnson and Cook will be the biggest defensive problem of | the All-stars in tonight’s engageI ment. Both towering players are ex-

R H K ; ceptionally clever under the basket 7 8 4 | and will put a real burden on the All-

star rebound men. Crowe probably will be assigned to cover Johnson and Krampe or Fields the task of

handling high-scorer Cook.

Battle plans of both Frankfort and the All-stars will be to employ a deliberate type of offense rather than the fast break, although the All-stars possess enough speed to be a distinct threat in the event the

offensive maneuvers are shifted.

The All-stars were put through a fairly heavy workout yesterday morning, but wound up with a lighter shooting drill and a rehearsal of plays in the afternoon. This morning they had a short session and Coaches Downey and Plunkitt reported that all their charges were in good physical trim and anxious to get into action against the champ-

ions.

The game will be one of the most colorful ever played in the Field House, probably even more colorful than a staTe tournament. The Allstar players will be brilliantly bedecked in sparkling new uniforms of white, faced with a shield of red. white and blue and carrying the numbers in the order they finished in the poll. Under the glare of a spotlight and to the strain of band music they will be introduced to the thousands of spectators that will

The Frankfort champs will wear their traditional red. the uniforms in which they won the state’s most coveted schoolboy athletic honor.

Red Sox Pitcher Is Miracle Man

NEW YORK, Aug. 18 ' UP)—The baseball miracle man of the year is Robert Moses Grove, 39-year-old Boston Red Sox pitcher who lias beat his way back from virtual extinction. One day last season Grove's arm went dead, and the medicos shook their heads and said, “it will be dangerous for him to pitch again. His ony cure will be a long and perhaps permanent rest.” Yet today finds gray-haired Grove leading- all the American League pitchers, with 13 victories and two defeats. He's won eight straight and hasn’t been licked since the White Sox beat him, 7-5, back on June 11 The only other game Grove has lost was a 2-0 decision to the Yankees on opening day. Grove's comeback is one of the most remarkable in all baseball annals. This spring manager Joe Cronin did not know if Grove would ever pitch another game. Grove went to Hot Springs in February and asked Cronin to let him condition himself. He took the baths and hikes through the Ozarks. Then at the Red Sox Sarasota, Fla , camp he mapped out his own program, which called for 15 minutes of throwing each day. Not until the Red Sox started north with tho Reds on an exhibition tour did Grove throw a ball in a game. Then he told Cronin he wanted to try his wing. He’ pitched four innings that persuaded the Red Sox pilot he had enough to face the Yanks opening day. Grove already is a cinch to surpass his 1988 record, when he won 14 anil lost 4 With six weeks still to go ho is likely to hang up several
