The following item from the Woodstock Sentinal-Re- view will therefore be of interest to local readers. The Sentinel-Re- view states as follows: "Officials of the Woodstock Hoe- key Association were recipients of a pleasing little telegram the other day which contained a rather cryp- tic little message which ran as fol- lows: . Congratulations on your splendid showing against senior company. It was signed N. 8S. Joynt. Mr, Joynt is manager of the Whitby intermediates, the east- ern semi-finalists who fell to Wil- lowdale of Toronto last week.

P. S, Gibb ! with DARING TORONTO * PAYROLL HOLDUP (Continued From Page 1) to search for two other men thought to have been their companions in the payroll hold-up. None of the money oe in the robbery has yet been recovered, and the two men he have not yet confessed their guilt, despite a four-hour grilling by detec- tives last night. Brenzel and Applebaum were the only two held in connection with the robbery out of many men questioned Mn Toronto and other centres during the night. Six more men arrested at Oakville as suspects in the hold- up were absolved of responsibility in that after questioning but are being held on nominal charges for further investigation, They are now suspect- ed of being implicated in alien-runn- ing traffic across the international border, Brenzel and Applebaum were ar- rested in Brenzel's rooms early last evening three hours after police had been notified of the hold-up at 3.30. Detective-Sergeants W. McConnell and Black headed the squad which visited the Augusta avenue rooms and, after brief questioning, made the arrests, Attempt Identification An intended attempt at identifica. tion of the men by their victims through the use of a show-up screen at detective headquarters failed when Arthur and George Witchall of 58 St Anne's road and 473 Euclid avenue, respectively, victims of the bandits in the afternoon, refused to appear at headquarters to attempt to identify the men. The two suspects will prob- ably undergo attempts at identifica- tion this morning before police court convenes, and it is posisble that "rob- bery armed" charges will be substi- tuted for the present vagrancy counts against them, The robbery for which Brenzel and Applebaum are held and others are being sought was carried out as a pay-car owned by Witchall & Son, St. Helen's avenue contractors, drew up at the gate of Metropolitan church yesterday. A bag containing $3,000, which was to be distributed among the 100 workers on the new edifice, was snatched by one of four bandits. The robbery was carried out within a minute, it is stated, and as far as can be learned was witnessed by cnly one person beside the victims, Only two of the bandits left their car. By. four o'clock word of the crime had been given every police station in the city and had swept out over the air via radio to other points in Ontario, It was shortly before 3.30 yesterday afternoon when an auto- mobile owned by Witchall and Son, contractors, drew across the sidewalk on the Bond street side of Metro- politan church, and came to a stop on the boulevard at .a gate in the iron fence which surrounds the grounds. At the wheel of the car was Arthur Witchall of 58 St. Ann's road, junior partner and paymaster in the Witchall firm, and beside him in the front seat was George Wit- chall, an employe of the firm and pioneer contractor of the city. Arthur Witchall grasped the bag and prepared to leave the car by the left front door. His uncle had open- ed the door on the right side and both were about to step .to the ground when each found himself cov- ered by a revolver. At each door a young man appeared. They are both described as being. about 22 years old, of medium height and build,' The bag was snatched from the hand of Arthur Witchall and the two bandits turned and ran to their auto- mobile, parked a few feet ahead of the pay car and at the east side of the road. Hardly had they jumyed to the running board when the ban- dit car plunged forward and in a few minutes was roaring around the cor- ner of Shuter street toward Church. Following the hold-up, the two Witchalls succeeded in noting the number of the automobile used by the thugs, and a bricklayer working on the west wall of the church, also observed the markers, The car was numbered 1-227 and is owned Charles A. Bender of 54 Foxbar road, eneral manager for the Heintzman iano company. The car was stolen from its parking place on Yonge street, near Shuter within two hours before the robbery, police have found, It was discovered half an hour after the robbery, aban- doned on Maitland place, near Allan of the mechani- cal squad attached to No. 2 division found the car and in the tonneau the money bag empty. During the absence of Charles A. Bender in Texas on a vacation, the car is being used by a son, Gordon Bender. It was not damaged in its wild career, Careening through city streets and along the lake shore highway at 60- mile speed in chase of a car believed to be carrying the perpetrators of the hold-up a police car manned by three members of the city force yes- terday brought to a stop a Buffalo taxi in which were five fofeigners. As a result, it is believed, a smugg- ling ring anay have been uncovered. Late in the afternoon a report was received at No, 6 Cowan avenue police station that a car bearing six men had been seen passing along Queen street west and under the subway at Dufferin street at 35 miles an hour. Suspecting a possible get- away staged by the robbers, the police car sped from Coman avenue h Constable Smith (422) and Plainclothesman Baker, armed with shotguns, and took up the chase, Not until they had raced within four miles of the limits of Oakville was the speeding taxi seen, and it was not overtaken until it had enter- ed the town limits, A FAST WORKER Efficiency Expert: You are wasting too much time on your personal ap- pearance. Typist: It's not wasted. I've only been here six months, and already THE IMPOSSIBLE TASK "No," thundered Mr. Trumpe hotly, "there's a limit.
