FAIRWAY HOLD-UP.
Armed Robbers Active Near
New York.
THEATRE TAKINGS STOLEN. NEW YORK, July 7. Five golf players enjoying a quiet round at Ridgewood Country Club in New Jersey were just preparing to drive from the eighth tee when three masked bandits, armed with pistols, appeared from some bushes along the fairway and held them up. They instructed the five caddies to stand with their backs to them, and collected 200 dollars from four of the players. The fifth attempted to save 75 dollars by throwing his wallet into some high grass, which so angered the bandits that one of them shot him, inflicting a painful, but not serious, wound in the thigh. The bandits ran across the course to the road in the vicinity and escaped in a motor car. The Alvin Theatre, which is featuring the musical comedy "Everything Goes," was robbed by four'gunmen, who bound and gagged the watchman, blew open the safe, and escaped with 15,000 dollars, the holiday receipts.
