All this we learned from the excited conversation of great and small persons on the estate.
 What we most wanted-direct news from Gods country'-arrived sud denly.
 Early one afternoon, while l was reading a story to Bob, We heard the purring of a fine automobile engine as the ear passed below our window in the direction Of the arcaded entrance of the patio.
 I stopped reading and looked at Bob. My husband returned my inquiring glance and rose to his feet. Not one of Certsis' cars" he said. But something rather fine. Jane?"

 The balcony overlooked the patio. It was screened by tropical plants in or nSmental tubs. Without attempting to hide ourselves. Bob and l remained half concealed from the crowd which had collected at the open side of the patio.
 Certainly they're persons of some
 importance" said my husband. See Donna Camilla has been summoned.

Rob's Insanity" Is Accepted by Every

 Bob's imitation of his former condi- ton of shell-shock proved easy-for a time-because Certeis and Don Manuel were seldom at the hacienda We soon lS1ew the reason for their absence. Boh had fine knowledge of Spanish. Ps<y of his scheme was ta pretend to very limited familiarity with that language This ignorance. combined with his reputat ation as a harmless lunatic, en- abled him to overhear the conversa- lions of those about him-and remain unsuspected-
 Certeis should have known that Bob s tongue was fluent in many languages hut like many another clever intriguer Certeis forgot d most valuable bit of information at the most important crisis of his career Or was Certeis ucrhaps so confident of his own power and so sure of his prey &hat he ceased 70 worry about minor det.tils2
 Al any rate, BOb'S stupidity was ac- cepted by everyone in the hacienda from Certeis and Donna Camilla down to the sly little maid who waited upon me Thus Bob heard much he was not supposed to understand. Thus we learned of the increasing danger Of war between the United states and Mexico Thus our suspicion about Certeis and Don Manuel was confirmed and we were appalled, at the tremendous part the two conspirators were playing in incItIng Mexico 10 harass the United States to the limit of it's great patience.

Johnstons Again Defeat
Konetchys; Ebbets Try
ing to Trade Jeff Pfeffer

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. March "A
regular mid-season nine-inning game
was played by the Johnstons and the
Konetchys in the Dodgers training
camp here this afternoon, under
cloudy sky, and it resulted in another
victory for Jimmy Johnston's aggrega-
tfon Of talent, which evidently is too
strong for its opponents. The score
hang up their initial training camp
victory Ed Honey is suffering from
slight cold and did not participate in
the game, and his place at first base
was taken by Ernie Kruger.
The Koneys were easy for Mamaux.
Mitchell and Schreiber, who looked
after the hurting for the Johnstons.
MOZART, Conlon and Vines, who each
took turns pitching for the Koneys,
were found for no fewer than eighteen
base hits. Nine hits were all the los
ing side collected during the fray.
Rube Marquard and Bernie Neis ac-
counted for six Of the hits made by the
Johnstons, each cracking out three hits.
Neis is young outfielder, and report
ed to Manager Robbie shortly before
the afternoon workout was started.
Among his safe drives were a double
and hree-bagger. One of Marquard's
hits was a Dagger to deep center.
Ivan Olson broke into the series for
the first time and covered the key
stone bag for the Konetchys. Ivan is
slated to play second for the Dodgers
this season and is getting plenty of
practice around the situation. He made
several classy stops of hard raps to his
territory during to-day's fray.
Chuck Ward. who covered short for
the losing side, is cavorting around that
post in great shape and made two
oS the hits registered by the Koneys.
One of his wallops was good for two
bases.
President Charley Ebbets of the Flat
bush club hopes to land an outfielder
and a pitcher from the Cards for JEFF
Pfeffer, the husky right-hander, who
is a hold-out.
McHenry and May or Heathcote and
Schapp may come to the Dodgers for
Pfeffer. Sherrod Smith is also hold
ing out, and both pitchers have not put
on their uniforms yet, although they
have been here several days.

Frank O'Doul Reaches
Camp, but Other Native
Sons Still Are Missing
By w. ]. Macbeth

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, March A.
Frank O'Doul, one of the four mysteri-
ously missing native sons, arrived un-
expectedly at the training table just
before luncheon, thus exploding ru-
nor that was gaining credence to the
effect that the Californians of our
team had entered into a conspiracy to
live forever in the Land of Sunshine
and Roses.
ODoul was greatly astonished that
Duffy Lewis and Bobby Mensel were
not here before him, as it had been
/ reported in native son circles that they
left for Jacksonville several days ahead
of the young southpaw. According to
O'Doul, Truck Hannah should be along
over salary and believes that with the
team strengthened as it has been the
Yankees have pretty fine chance for
share of the big spoils next October.
Most Opportune Arrival
And speaking of world series spoils
the boys here in camp are doubly ap-
preciative of what the term means.
The long delayed check from the Ma
tional Commission, representing their
share Of the world series pot of last
4 fall, arrived in duplicate to-day. 1t
1 came at timely moment. Many of
j them were running short Of laundry
and tip money ana were actually nlrt-
ing with Traffic Manager McManus
working up nerve for the customary
! spring touch.
When their share of the world series
spof1s for finishing third in the Ameri-
can League race has been split up,
which will happen as soon as Duffy
Lewis and Roger Peckinpaugh put in
an appearance, each of the members of
last years team will have something
more than $500 for himself. The check
is for more than $4,000, with interest
added for five months.
O'Doul seems chastened youth
since a year ago and took his prelim-
mary practice this afternoon with due
care. He declares he is determined to
catch on regularly in some capacity
the coming season and is prepared ia
make bid either at pitching or play
ing the outfield.
Played During Winter
ODoul is in excellent condition. He
has played grtpt deal Of ball during
the winter, and as he has pitched q
number of Ham.s his arm is in first
rate condi1.A One gear ago he ruined
very bright prospectl by turning loose
