Albert Woell- ner of Kansas City, clerk in the car, refused to raise his hands and one of the bandits knocked him down. The bandits then seized the mail and ran to a waiting aytomobile, The St. Joseph police were told to- day that the same train was robbed of several pouches of mail Wednesday night near Armour Junction, Mo., but no valuable mail was reported taken. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Dec. United States mail was seized by armed robbers in a raid here last night, Search for the mail robbers was flung out over the Middle West to- day. They obtained 84 parcel post packages, valued at $2,500, in hold-up. Kansas City authorities arrested four men early to-day in connection with the robbery here after the aban- doned Government mail truck had been found, None of the stolen pack- ages had been recovered. The robbery occurred early last night but was not discovered until Walter Holcomb and James C.

SS ee TILDEN FEARS DROP IN TENNIS RANKING FOR 1923 SEASON PHILADELPHIA, Dec. §.—William Tilden to-day talked about his tennis plans for the first time since the loss of the first joint on the middle finger of his playing hand. The national champion fears he will do well to finish in the first ten in 1923, Tilden says it will be necessary for him to bulid up an entire new game. “L will have a good orthodox game next season,” explained the tall champion. ‘Nothing flash¥ and few forcing strokes. I am certain what i$ left of my crippled finger will be stiff and practically useless for grip- ping a racquet. This will compel me to modify most of my strokes, “My backhand drive and my fore- hand drive are the only strokes that will not be affected. “Most of the delicate shots on which I have depended so much will be lost to me,‘but I am hopeful of devgloping a pretty good game." Tilden says he will not play, any, tennis until February.
