Bandit Hides Fortune In Home of Relative Mail Tram Robber Takes Officers to Residence of Brother irr Law in Tulsa, Where More Than $400,000 Is Recovered.

Associated Press TULSA, Nov. 19. How Brent Glasscock, alleged bandit who participated In the holdup of a mall train Rondout, In June hid more than million dollars worth of the loot In the home of hie brother in law, Chester Van Cleave, Tulea, without the knowledge of Mr. Vn Cleave Is told in a Dews article which the Tula World, will pullsh tomorrow. The World credits the story to "authentic sources." It was learned hers today that Olaas cock, a former Tulsa gambler, who was known here as No.

Van Cleave met them at the door and greeted Glasscock. 'Sorry to dlstrub you Glasscock Is reported to have said, 'but there Is a lot money hidden In your house and we want "Van Cleave was astounded.

By Ed VAN EVERY NEW YORK, Nov. 1. Johnny Dundee takes exception to my story concerning a rumor that he will "sell, his title during his coming trip abroad. That Is, he will risk his title in a contest in France against some 126 pound boxer if he permitted to come in at a few pounds over the featherweight 11m The weight presumably is no longer poasible for the great little fighter since he vacated this title and turned It over to the New York Tloxlng commission because.

In his own words. "I can no longer make the If Dundee Insists, there Is no truth the story, his word Is good enough for me. In hi fifteen year In the ring Dundee has always been on the levwl with the public and has always given his best, and there was never a finger of sus picion pointed his way, even in the case of his fight with Jack Bern stlcn, when the decision in Dundee's favor almost sounded the death knell of boxing here. It should be said In fnlrness to Dundee it would be perfectly legitimate if he could get a really remunerative match with some 126 pound contender. For ten years the feather weight title was with held from this marvelous little fighter, simply because Johnny Kil bane would not give him a chance nt the crown until he (Kllbane) got his price.

Bergere, French pilot; "Lee" Al Dundc has not been able to real ieni 0f Chicago, and Frank Lock lie anything out of the feather hart youthful Los Angeles star, weight title.

This Is what is known In the ring vernacular as wiling a title. There Is no doubt that Dundee can ret real money in France If he cares to fight. Also, that the 12 pound boxer whe heats Dundee would be recognized as the world's featherweight champion, even If Dundee found It impossible to mnke the weight.

Dun dee win the title fairly and after a long wait, and there is no gainsaying that the boxer who beats undee will be accepted as the new champion. A proposition was put up to George R. Brower, chairman of the state athletic commission, a few weeks as to whether it would be permissible for Dundee to come In at a fpw pounds over the leatner welpht limit against Louis Kid Knplnn, the latter to mnke 12 pounds and ths match to be advertised as a title contest. We do not believe this proposition came from Dundee or his manager, but the. boxing commission did not favor It.

But if Dundee end the commission had agreed to this arrangement and Kaplan had won. he would surely have been accepted as champion, even if Dundee had weighed as hlfb a 130 It too bad Dundee isn't a few years youwer. He would have made 126 pounds for any of the present day crop and have settled the argument In short order, and he wouldn't have held out for 175, COO cither.
