Willard arrived here yesterday on
the same train bringing the Cubs to

year.
The office Of public grounds extends
the use of baseball diamonds. tennis
courts. a practice golf course, a ero-
quet court, a polo field and fields for
rugby and soccer football

eighteen holes is expected to be
completed by the end OF the summer.
The work is progressing rapidly. and
the course begins to shape up nicely.
Greens and fairways have been
planted. and the sand traps and bunk
ers built.
Next season the field house viii
probably be completed and the course
opened to the public. Plans are under
way for more tennis courts and other
recreation facilities

Connie Mack may be compelled to
start an absolutely green player in
right field. Gene Bailey is said to
have all the earmaFks, ETC., ETC., but
he must be far from the style of Bob

and an the bases.
In center field Connie will have a
better substitute in Lawton Witt, for
mer Shortstop. Witt is a natural hit
ter, good enough to play regularly
anywhere, and It is not sure that he
won't yet beat out Joe Dugan for the
shortstop's berth.
Davis Will start.
IKE Davis will start the season in
Johnny Lavan's place at shortstop
for the GriTnen. This youngster has
impressed Griffith with his possibili-
ties and, unlike most rockies break
ing in here, will be used right from
the beginning. Most Of them warm
the bench and assist Jim Shaw in
shrieking against the umpire. Davis
is fortunate, though he may not yet
know it.
Hal Janvrin, while far from strong
enough to show at his best, is to
open the season at second base. He

Alan, having satisfied himself that so
long as he remained quiet he was in no

still keenly observant. He saw that the
setting moon was paling just at the edge

Wadi, and that the east was tightening
Less than an hour to dawn. He stil had
a chance, faint one, if the tall rascal near
him didn't suddenly change his mind and

He tried to plan what he would do at the
sound of the first shots-struggle to a sit
ting posture, leaping free of the crag that
bound him and hurting himself like a cats
pult at the Sheykh, hoping to throw him
over the edge of the cliff near which he
sat. The thing seemed impossible, and yet
he meant to try it. He might as we'll be
killed for sheep as lamb.
Slowly he watched the pale rim of the
moon descend against the ragged edge Of
the rocks and then suddenly drop out Of

And with final glance at Alan he looked
about him, peering up at the rocky prom

to the camp fire Of the Sheykh. where he
aroused one of them and gave him some

be the jailer of such a prisoner as this

The Sheykh Omar was soft hearted. Death

He half unsheathed his dagger, then
very slowly returned it. . Alas!
Perhaps the Sheykh Omar knew best. He
would await what was to happen. But
even then il would be his own jambiyah
which should deal the fatal blow. In the
meanwhile, if the deseCratOr and bias
