In fact, after q few days fn Orlando none of the st Barons would condescend to meet a girl who merely owned a Ford. What Bernis Love, a recruit pitcher of the Barons. who was let go at Orlando for trial at Jacksonville arrived in Birmingham yesterday. Bernis has forgotten all about 'scrap-iron'' and has signed up with Anniston for the season.

 How do the Barons look2'
 Do you think Charley Carroll will make good at first.

 Incidentally, the game with the Cubs will be the first baseball for the local fans this season The af- fair should be hummer if there is pleasant weather.
 The Chicago Cubs have just broke camp at Tampa, after a five weeks 2. stay. The army of Bresnahan jumped from Tampa direct to Savannah, Ga, where they are today and tonight they make the long ride to Baronville.
 It was while the Cubs were in training in Cuba that a sport writer who is known as Hal Richards had a wonderful dream. It was that the Southern league was about to disband or at least to abandon organized base ball Teif ns. Hal;~uid to,pie, 'do.yosis I shoot it in your arm-ors eat it -~es
 The cold. cold winds kept Lord Cecil Coombs from walloping the old pill yesterday. However. Cecil will be there like cat on wheels this after noon.
 Looking over the exchanges, it ap- pears that all the clubs in the South ern circuit have weaknesses this sea- son. The New Orleans club is shy capable shortstop and this, appears also to be the weakness of the Little Rock club. Chattanooga and Nash vile have some good htters, but will be shy of finished baseball mechanics. The Mobile team is certainly not as strong as last springs aggregation, but Memphis appears to have been very much improved
 After giving the rest the once over the Barons appear uncommonly good. we are of the opinion that with little shift here and there about the infield after the sea son has been well under way that the Barons should repeat. They certainly should get the jump on the other teams owing to early training.

Arthur Johnson of Wisconsin, who won niche in the Baronial hail of fame last season by his air-tight pitch- ing, is with us again this season and with new curve ball. According to Arthur he has developed a "fadeaway' that makes Christy Mathewson's freak ish delivery look like small money in comparison
 However. Arthur, or as he writes it. Arthur T. Johnson. has other. at tainments. Among these is the imi- tation of Charley Chaplin, the famous Keystone movie" comedian. It is as Charley Chaplin that the Wisconsin Swede will attempt to emulate last seasons third base line comedian.

fectively.
Suddenly my vagrant interest was
aroused. Up the stream l saw some
one struggling in the water and shout
ing for help as the current carried her
along, screaming.
1t was Elaine. The hat and mus
tache of her disguise were gone and
her beautiful Titan hair was spread
out on the water as 1t carried her now

out with all her strength to keep
afloat. ! did not stop to think how or
why she was there. I swung over the
bridge rail, stripping off my coat
ready to dive. On she came with the
swift current to the bridge. As she
approached dived. 1t was not min

become thoroughly exhausted. She
was a good swimmer, but the fight
with nature was unequal.

He attached another, smaller ma
chine to the wireless detector. In the
face was moving finger which swung
over a dial marked off in miles from
one upward. AS Arnold adjusted the
new detector, the hand began to move
slowly. Woodward looked eagerly. 1t
did not move far, but came to rest
above the figure o."
mot so very far away, you see,
lieutenant" remarked Arnold, pointing
to the dial face.
He seized his glass and hurried to
the deck, leveling it at the shore and
leaning far over the rail in his eager
ness. AS he swept the shore, he
stopped suddenly. There was house
roof among the trees with wireless
aerial fastened to the chimney, but
not quite concealed by the dense foli-
age.
Look" he cried to Woodward, with
an exclamation of satisfaction, hand
ing over the glass.
Woodward looked. "a secret wire
less station, all right" he agreed, low
ering the glass after long look.
WED better get over there right
away" planned Arnold, leading the
way to the ladder over the side of the
yacht, and calling to the sailor who
had managed the little motor boat to
follow him.
Quickly they SKINNED across to the
shore. Il think we'd better send to
the fort for some men," considered
Arnold as they landed. I'VE may need
re-enforcements before we get
through"
Woodward nodded and Arnold hast
lily wrote a note on rather large
scrap of paper which he happened to
have in his pocket.
Take this to Colonel Swift at Fort
Dale" he directed the sailor. "And
hurry"
The sailor Hoped off, half on run,
as Arnold and Woodward left down
the shore, proceeding carefully.

Elaine cautiously came from behind
a rock where she had hidden herself
and seeing no one apparently watch
ing, now, advanced until she stood di'
rectly under the trickle of water which
had once been the falls. She gaZed
into the cave, curiously uncertain
whether she dared to go In clone or
not.
The emissary jerked fiercely at the
lever as he saw Elaine.
Above the falls a dam had been
built and by a system of levers the
gates could be operated so that the
water could be thrown over the falls
or diverted away, at will. AS the man
pressed the lever the flood gates
worked quickly.
Elaine stood gazing eagerly into the
blackness of the cave. Just then a
great volume Of water from above
crashed down on her, with almost
crushing weight.
How she lived through 1t she never
knew. But, fortunately. she had not
gone quite far enough to get the full
force of the water. Still, the terrific
food easily overcame her.
She was swept, screaming. down the
stream.
Rather alarmed at the strange dis
appearance of Elaine after l brought
her home, | had started out along the
road to the shore to look for her,
thinking that she might perhaps have
returned there.
AS | walked along young tough

young tough, so good was the disguise
she had assumed, and so well did she
carry it off-slouched past me.
Great Caesar" l muttered to my
self, that's a roughneck. This place
is sure getting to be a hangout for

| shrugged my shoulders and con-
tinued my walk. 1t was no business
of mine. Finding no trace of Elaine.

phine was in the library, alone.
Where's Elaine?" asked anxiously.

think she's at home.'

after another.
With the high resistance receiving
apparatus over his head, Arnold was
listening to the wireless signals that
came over his radio detective" on the
yacht, moving the slider back and
forth on sort of tuning coil, as he
listened. Woodward stood close be-
side him.
"As you know" Arnold remarked,
,''by the use Of an aerial, messages
may be easily received from any num-
Der Of stations. In other words, this
is eavesdropping by a wireless wire
Taper"
"Are you getting anything now?"
asked Woodward.
Arnold nodded, as he seized pencil
and started to write. The lieutenant
bent forward in tense interest. Finally
Arnold read what he had written and
with a peculiar quiet smile handed it
over.
Woodward read. 1t was senseless
tumble of dots and dashes of the Morse
code but, although he was familiar
with the code, he could make nothing
out of it.
TITS the Morse code all right" he
said, handing 1t back with a puzzled
look, but it doesn't make any sense"
Arnold smiled again, took the paper,
and without a word wrote on it some
lore. Then he handed it back to
Woodward. "An old trick" he said.
Reverse the dots and dashes and see
what you get"
Woodward looked at it, as Arnold
had reversed 1t and his face lighted
up.
"Harbor successfully mined" he
quoted in surprise.
I'll show you another thing about
this radio detective of mine," went on
Arnold theoretically. Its not only
wave length measurer but by a
process of my own can determine
approximately the distance between

With the possibility that italy is to

position of the Pope in that event. So
far no plan has been devised where
by the Pope will be able to secure
free communication with the countries
with which Italy may be at war. This
would prove very embarrassing should
His Holiness feel constrained tc
initiate a peace movement.
1t is considered certain that so sool
