Stan McCabe*
McCABE EQUIPPED
Has Suit of Armour !
ADELAIDE, January 18,
When Stan McCabe returned to his hotel late last night he found installed in his room a complete equipment for combating leg theory bowling.
Standing in the corner was a full suit of armour. It appears that the proprietor’s son has had the relic in his possession for a long time. At last it has been of some use, even if only as a practical joke.
