Hooting was indulged, in occasionally by a section of the spectators. Tt was a good, even contest, Walker again exhibiting amazing strength for a man of his size. Alley showed himself a very clever wrestler. He was rather unlucky im the third round, when the gong saved Walker from the crucifix hold. Alley had to submit, and, in spite of the attention paid to his arm during the interval, he came out of his corner for the ensuing round with his arm hanging by his side. ’ Amidst the jeers and yelling of the crowd, Walker obtained another hold on the injured arm, and he quickly forced his opponent into submission. Alley’s arm had to receive medical attention *at the conclusion of the bout, but an examination revealed nothing more serious than a severe cramp, caused by the pressure applied by Walker in his efforts To obtain the hammerlock. j

When I; had given up in despair the inventor told me Die secret. ‘lt is just a matter of light,’lie said. ‘On the ceiling up there are a couple "of selenium cell's which are very sensitive to light, and they are electrically connected with the lock. When I turii on the head' lights they shine on to one of the cells inside-, breaking the electrical circuit operating the lock, through that glass panel in the dbor and—the door opens.’ ”
