hadn't taken the plump­
ness from his body nor the color
from his cheeks. The tint of silver
about his temples was becoming,
and the change from drab, loose fit­
ting prison gray to tailor • made
banker's gray gave him confidence.
“I’ve got that new look, Pinky,”
he said to the man who had been
his cellmate during his first year of
confinement.
“Don't get any new ideas, Joe,”
Pinky said as he sat on the edge of
the bed, “you better do like I'm
doin’; go straight!”
“Hogwash,” Joe laughed. “The
cops have me figured as a counter­
feiter, but I'm giving up that angle.
They'll never suspect me of being
a stickup man.”
Pinky stood up. He was tall like
Joe, but thin. “If you won't take
the job I've got for you. Joe, then
this is good-by.”
Joe was thoughtful for a minute,
then he said, "So you don't know
who is putting out that new batch
of counterfeits, heh?”
“I thought you said you were
givin' up counterfeiting,” Pinky
snapped.
“I am,” Joe assured him. “I
guess it’s just professional jeal­
ously to hear that someone else is
putting out stuff that is almost per­
fect.”
“All I know is that you've got
to use a magnifying glass to find
the flaws,” Pinky told him.
“Let's see.” Joe mused, “Batson
is still up the river, Jaeger and Sims
are in South America, Pete and Wil­
son have dropped out of sight and
nobody knows where they’ve van­
ished to, and Barody stopped a
bullet when the cops raided his
plant. It just can't be any of the
old gang. Somebody new must have
moved in.”
Pinky shook his head and said,
“ You’ll learn that you can’t win
on the wrong side of the fence,
but I'm afraid it will be too late.
Good-by. Joe.”
Joe dismissed his former cellmate
with a wave of his hand. Plans
already were forming in his mind
for the first holdup.
News had drifted into the prison
that Lee Stanley was going places,
and fast. Lee had been only a
petty racketeer a few years back,
and Joe never had liked him, but
apparently Lee had found a way to
become big-time. He was the new
owner of the Roxy night club, and
Joe knew it for a swanky place.
Joe snapped his fingers. He knew
the layout of the Roxy. It would be
easy to get to Lee's office, and it
would give him satisfaction to get
hold of some of Lee's profits.
He went to the closet and found
the hidden wall hole he had made
before his arrest. The revolver and
a box of cartridges were still there.
They were about the only things
the police hadn’t found.
With a handkerchief and a piece
of wire, Joe cleaned the barrel, then
loaded the chamber in case he
should have to use it.
Then he turned to the window and
looked outside. Sergeant Cain was
on the corner leaning against a
telegraph pole. Joe was annoyed,
but not disheartened. The cops al­
ways put a man on you after you
did a stretch up the river. And this
was the same copper who had
caught him with a pocketful of
counterfeit bills two years before.
It would be several hours before
he would be able to go to the Roxy,
so Joe decided to play with the
detective before losing him.
When Joe stepped out onto the
k UT o f an olden golden
pavement, he saw Sergeant Cain
straighten up. He walked to a
restaurant, and took his time order­
ing and eating, noticing that the
sergeant was keeping a hungry eye
on him outside the window.
Joe then spent a couple of hours
in a cheap movie, and was aware
that Sergeant Cain was sitting only
a few rows behind him.
Then he decided it was time to
give the detective the slip.
He was followed from the theater,
but kept his eyes open as he walked
along the street. Suddenly he saw
was a stack of crisp, new twenty
dollar bills un top of the desk.
Disguising his voice. Joe said.
“Be a good guy and don't act up,
or you'll get hurt.” as he moved
cat-like toward the desk. But he
knew Lee was going to get hurt.
Working with precision, Joe's left
hand scooped up the money, and
his right hand brought the gun
barrel down across Lee Stanley's
head.
He jammed the twenties into his
pockets and tiptoed to the door.
With a quick glance he saw that no

what he was waiting for. a cruising
taxicab.
With a quick movement he was
inside the cab and snapping orders
to the driver.
The taxi leaped forward, and Joe
looked out of the rear window in
time to see Sergeant Cain waving
to a taxicab that was traveling in
the opposite direction. Joe's taxi
turned half a dozen corners before
he was definitely satisfied that he
had lost Sergeant Cain. Then he
had the driver take him to within
a half block of the Roxy.
Joe worked his way cautiously to
the back of the night club. He
smiled when he saw the fire escape.
It was the kind that needed weight
to carry the bottom section down to
the ground.
Joe climbed a rainspout and
reached out and grabbed the side
rail. As he rode the section to
the ground, the rusty iron’s
screech filled the night, and Joe
stood still for a full minutes, wait­
ing to learn if anyone inside had
heard the sound.
He decided finally that the other
noises out in the street had drowned
out the sound. He went up the steps
until he reached a window which
( pened into a corridor. He forced
the window without too much trou­
ble and climbed inside.
Music was playing out on the
dance floor and the sound of laugh­
ing voices penetrated the walls, but
nothing stirred in the corridor.
Joe tied a handkerchief over his
mouth and nose, and pulled his hat
down over his eyes. He glanced
around to refresh his memory, and
smiled Apparently this was to be
one of his lucky nights. He saw the
light through the glass in the door
of the room he sought, and shoved
the door open.
Startled, Lee Stanley looked ud
from behind a desk at the gun which
Joe held in a steady hand. There
one had entered the corridor, then
he ran to the window.
There was no way of knowing
how much money he had in his
pockets, but he felt sure that it was
enough for him to leave the city
and have a free and easy life for a
few months.
A half hour later, as Joe stepped
into his room, he was chuckling to
himself. He visioned Sergeant Cain
hurrying about the city trying to
pick up his trail.
He switched on the lights, then
froze. Sergeant Cain was leaning
against the wall, toying with his

“What—what do you want?” Joe
stammered.
"The way you gave me the slip.”
Sergeant Cain said, “I figured you
were anxious to contact that new
counterfeiting gang. Also figured

“In my opinion,” Tommy Armour
has told me several times, “the
delay in the downswing is the most
single important feature in golf.
This was a big factor in Vardon’s
swing, the finest swinger I ever
saw play. It was a big feature in
Bobby Jones’ swing in his later
campaigns, I mean after 1922. Ha­
gen was never in a hurry. He was
a magnificent timer.
"1 wonder how many golfers know
they start their downswing before
they finish their backswing? They
simply can’t wait to hit the ball.
They get about two-thirds back and
then the downswing starts.
“I would say this is the biggest
common weakness in golf. The
main idea is not to hurry anything.
You can loaf on your backswing—
you can loaf on your downswing.
Not too much, but enough to keep
everything smooth. Don't ever rush
that downswing. That even goes
for chip shots.
