Today's Short Story ONE HIT -- NO ERRORS By Spence Wells On a pleasantly cool evening in August, Jacob Bell was doing a little overtime in his shop, sand- ing down the last of an order of baseball bats for the Colorado Tornadces. Bell was seventy-six, had a crooked spine, infirm feet--- but his thin, delicate hands were efficiency-plus, and he was about the gentelest, sweetest-tempered man in the foothills town of Hager City. He had the shop window open so he could hear the blood-and- thunder movie next door, for like many mild-mannered men he got a vicarious thrill from the shoot- ing, the yells and the galloping borses. 11 had never in his life used violence -- had never even struck a man :n anger. His work bench about two by ten feet, held his new sander on Tough Frank Sholes, just releas- ed from She pen, stood near the bench, his ed eyes fixed on she gentle old carpenter. one end, and a modern lathe on the other. Presently the aged craftsman shut off his machine, opened his lunch-box -- and look up into 'the wicked eyes of Frank Sholes, Sholes, gun in hand, had made his way through tae fumber-littered shop to the circle of radiance over the bench, moving with the sound- less tread of a panther. So here was Frank Sholes! Bell's stomach turned over a couple of times. Sholes, captured after a long pursuit by Marshall Jim Traynor for a holdup job and sentenced to five years Canon Judge Allen, was now re- City hd to town: with murder in. his eyes. Bell's stomach turned over some more ----- for his evi- dence had gone far toward send- ing Sholes to prison. > e dissembled his penis, how- ever, took.a sandwich from the box, bit into it, and carefully ap- praised his caller, Sholes, he noted, wore a new suit and new shoes, "Well, Crip," Sholes said, put- ting one hip on the bench. 'I've come back to get even with Tray- nor and Judge Allen -- and you! Five years! And I paid the full time!" He lighted a cigaret, threw. the still lighted match on the floor. Bell hastened to step on it, for a wood working shop is no place for lighted matches. bi "Jake, 1 was lookin' at your car, fifty." 'l, heard somebody fussin around it in the lot. But the tires alone cost me almost fifty." "Seventy-five, Crip." pushed back the sleeve of his new coat, consulted an ornate watch. 'Snappy, you old wreck! I've got a long trip ahead of me. he keys -- come on!" hs ell took a slow pull at the 'off ten ten-dollar bills. holes: 1. her? No, 1 thermos bottle of coffee, bit more deeply into the sandwich. "Whyn't you take Judge Allen's Buick when you beefed him and took his watch, Frank? The car's always standing in his driveway." Sholes made an impatient ges- ture. "And advertise myself all the way down to New Mex in that yellow bus! Nix!" He took a sand- wich from the box, wolfed it, and started on the generous segment of pie. "I didn't beef the judge-- only his secretary, after I made him open the judge's safe. The watch was laying on the Judge's desk. Looks like a good one." "Birthday gift from his wife just 'before she went visiting in Den- ver. Well, get busy, Frank--its a long ride down to the line. How come you missed killing the judge?" "Him an' Jim Traynor's at the pictures--but I'll get 'em both af- ter the show." Sholes produced a small package of currency, peeled "Gimme a bill of sale, Crip--an' the car keys, You're the one that's draggin, not me." Jacob Bell took paper and pen from the bench drawer, tucked the bills into the bib pocket of his overalls, made out the bill of sale. He had recognized a certain one of those bills, It had had a corner torn off and poorly mended with a piece of adhesive; he had given that bill to the judge yesterday with others when paying his rent. The old-fashioned wall clock over his head struck ten. "You better hurry, Frank! In a half-hour this street'll be full of ranchers and the like, and they might not like street murders, So "-- if you're set, on a cleanup, you-- "Jake, you talk too much!" Bell looked up--in Sholes' gun. Sholes held » can of turpentine in his other hand, and wag going to fire the shop. Bell's stomach went into the same old whirl; a queer taste came into hi¥ mouth. He rose, arms u; nearest lumber and piles of shav« ings. Then he reached across the bench and took the bills from Bell's bib pocket. "Cleanup is right! Now, them keys -- quick!" Bell clumsily fished the car keys from his overall pocket, held them over the bench; he knew that when Sholes got them into his hands he --Bell--would die. He swung the keys over the wide bench, made a brief prayer -- "God, let me be ruthless -- for just a coupla sec- onds!" Then he tossed the keys-- but a little too hard, so that the skidded across the bench and fel to the floor on Sholes' side of it. Sholes cursed, stooped for them. When his head reappeared above the bench level, Bell struck it with a ball bat from the half finished file, He put all his strength into t, and it was a stout blow. Sholes went down and out. Bell limped around the bench, tied the crook with bell wire he took from a drawer; turned as Jim Traynor entered. : 2 "Don't step on Frank Sholes, Jim," he said. "He's lying at t'other side -of the beach." He explained the circumstance; told about the judge's money. e Marshall went out, dragging his prisoner. Jacob looked Hpes fully into the lunchbox -- nothing was left! So he sanded a few more bats and presently his grand- niece Tillie and her husband en- Jered, eating peanuts and chatter- 'How was the dren?" Bell asked. "Fine, Uncle Jake! Shooting and bandits and rough stuff!" She went to the small storeroom off the shop, wheeled out her perambula- tor which contained by Tillie. The baby was sound : asleep, but her little face showed the faint etching of a smile at something very funny in Babyland's far coun- "Was the baby good, Nunky Jake? - I bet you even forgot she was here!" Bell looked around his shop, at the baby, at the turpentine-soaked trash, at the baseball bat. "Forget tnought of her several picture, chil- times, my dear." to his face. Sholes sprinkl- .| ed the inflammable liquid over the REMEMBER WHEN By The Canadian Press Hamilton Wildcats dropped a 6-0 decision to Toronto Balmy Beach two years ago today but a nine- point lead piled up the previous week gave them their second straight Ontario Rugby Football Union title on the total-points round. Montreal's highly-regarded Navy squad upset the Cats for the Grey Cup the following week. Hershey Leads AHL East Loop Tie In Western By The Canadian Press Hershey Bears lead the American Hockey League's eastern division by five points today while Pittsburgh Hornets and Cleveland Barons are tied for the western division top rung with Indianapolis Capitals only a point behind them, Hershey picked up four points during the week-end by blanking the runner-up New Haven Ramblers 3-0 Saturday and trimmed Provi- dence Reds 4-1 last night. The Bears, after spotting th Reds a 1-0 first period lead on Bus Bradshaw's goal, tallied three times in the middle session and onge in the final to wrap up the game. Gordie Bruce, Mark Marquess ana Frank Mario counted in the second period and Armand Gaudregult in the third, Pittsburgh also racked up four points by nosing out St. Louis Fly- ers 6-5 Saturday and downing Buf- falo's 'Bisons 4-2 yesterday. Hornets took a 3-2 lead against Bisons in the opening jeriod with Peanuts O'Flaherty -netting twice. Armand Lemieux clinched victory for the Hornets in the final frame to move them into a first-place tie with Barons. Pete Langelle collect- ed the other Pittsburgh goal while Murdo McKay and Tommy Cooper scored for the losers, Cleveland missed an opportunity to go out in front by bowing 7-4 to 8t. Louis last night after whipping Buffalo 6-3 Saturday. Flyers tallied three times within the first five minutes and coasted the rest of the way. Hec Pozzo and Paul Gladu each scored two goals for Flyers. Jud McAtee, Carl Lis- combe and Pat McReavy accounted for the winners' other goals while Johnny Holota, Jack La Voie and Pete Leswick tallied Baron points. Indianapolis also blew a chance to hold onto the western section lead by playing Springfield Indians to a 2-2 tie Saturday and dropping an 8-4 decisions to Ramblers yesterday. Led by Norm Burns with two goals, New Haven piled up a 4-2 ad- vantage and after Caps tied it up in the third period, Ramblers stormed back with a four-goal flurry to sew up the contest, Ott Heller, Gordie Bell, Mel Read, Joe Levan- dowski, Alex Shibicky and Johnny Bend scored for New Haven. Tony Licari tallied twice for Caps. Other Indianapolis scorers were Jim Con- agher and Nelson Podolsky. DIRLINERS én. LUMBAGO, ACHES and PAINS Canadian Sport Snapshots Montreal, Nov. 18 (CP). -- shakeup in Montreal Canadiens is definitely on now, and it's becom- ing plainer every day that the management of the Stanley Cup holders doesn't intend to stand idly by and see the championship crumble away through old age, as has happened, to so many great ma- chines in the past. True, the rejuvenation has' been gradual. First there was Leo Gra- velle, that blond rightwing speed- ball from the amateur ranks, and burly Roger Leger, highscoring de- fenceman and most valuable player of the American H League the latest re- Coach Dick Irvin, plagued by a string of injuries that kept his squad under strength right from the start of the season, has been try ing to build another championship combination oi Fg afraid to try some experimen Irvin's next worry is to restore his "punch" line to its old-time effect- iveness. Veteran Toe Blake is still a clever: ice general and a potent threat in the enemy defensive zone, but his 34-year-old legs can't keep up with Maurice Richard and El- mer Lach on the attack and on the backchecking. Canadiens had three goals scored against them in Detroit last Sun- day when the punch trio were on the ice. In past years that was al- most unheard of, as the scoring boot was usually on the other foot. Blake won't be sold down the river. He stil] 1s too valuable, and probably will be kept for tough { spots where his ice generalship is needed, playing fewer minutes a game, P If Irvin could find a leftwinger to go with Lach and Richard, he'd be happy. Amateur? Shamateur? Charlie (Ottawa le Droit) Daoust, looking over the withdrawal of Hull Volants from the Quebec Senior Hockey League, suggests the build- ing of a modern artificial ice plant in Hull and the return of "truly amateur hockey." Financial difficulties and threat- ened suspension of three Volants for not reporting to N.H.L. training camps--the QSHL, is almost a farm loop for the N.H.L.--prompted the removal of Volants and almost Daoust's plea for amateurism in Hull hockey. If the QSHL., had defied the suspensions, it ran the risk of be- coming an outlaw league, and some high-price hockey timber would be lost to the N.HL, particularly Canadiens, ; KEEP GROOMS RING The maid of honor is usually cus- todian of the groom's ring in a dou- ble wedding ceremony.
