ing six will return to the balmy dia-
monds where they prepared year ago.

he state of Florida still leads as popu-
llr choice. with Texas running a close
second. These two states will act as
hosts for eight clubs. while Georgia.
Louisiana and Arkansas will each ac-
commodate two. California will again be

Chicago Nationals, the Cubs returning
to Pasadena, where they were satisfac
torily located twelve months ago.

the record is unusual.

Fricke and Manning. Most of the goals
were the result of close shots from
beneath the basket. The game was
hard and rough. Schaefer and Ramage

upon her early contemporaries. She pre-
tended to be a native Of Javasu In the
Indian Ocean, and to have been carried

to have jumped overheard. swimming In

she found her way to Bath. where she
created quite q sensation IN literary and

all the ceremony and pomp usually ac-
corded a princess Of the blood.
Finally, however. It was discovered
that the whole affair was a hoax. clev-
erly sustained and acted by n beautiful
girl who hungered for notoriety and even
invented An entirely new language and
