then of his strengthening Jealousy
and how it colored aud distorted
everything he saw, eliminating in the
scene at the Red Oak Inn when he had
refused any explanation.

Dicky Starr surprised them both by
his unexpected generosity. Looking
from one to the other: I'm going to

clared handsomely, his face relaxing,
But the next time my wife requires
a shoulder to lean upon-Tm going To

his tone Rosamund realized that on
those future trips up Shiny rivers in
the interior she would be by Dicky's
side, but for the moment, in her re-
lief. she craved that very privilege.
"Dicky!" she said joyously, and flung
herself upon him.
Rodney Thorne looked over their
heads at some far-off picture OF his

said softly at last. There's just a
chance she's waiting, and / can't at

All of which is the reason why Gore

do you love me, Eulalie?" he would
say hungrily, catching all her fluttering
scented sweetness into his arms.
And: Better than anything in the
world, old dear!" would say Eulalie
gaily, in her slangy way. And she really
meant it.
SO I doubt IL anything serious would
have happened if Chadwick had not
come home just then. Sidney Chadwick
is one Of the spoiled darlings of life
From the very minute he emerged into
waiting world, everything he has
wanted and demanded has been granted
TO him. Naturally for 2 person so al.
together fortunate life held in reserve O
concealed slap. Eulalie was to repre-.
sent that slap, Eulalie being one of the
things he had confidently marked out fol
himself. So sure of her had he been
that he had set out on a tour Of the
world without a single thought of mis-
giving. Eulalie was to be his, he had
chosen her, so why worry. To return
and find her the six months bride Of an.
other filled him with a devastating rage
Then, since 10 the never thwa-ted Sid,

reappeared among Eulalie's throng OF
admirers.
What followed next can be described
in a string of very short sentences

ney Thorne sulked. The indignant ma.
irons gossiped.
Possibly if Rodney had made frank
confession of his hurt, Eulalie would
have softcned to obedience. Even as il
was, think in the end she became
frightened and desired to put an end to
Chadwick's attentions. At least | can
conceive of no other reason for her con-
senting to drive out to the Red Oak Inn
with Chadwick on a night when she was
quite sure Rodney would be at his Of

Once there she handled the affair
quite nicely.

tie table to him, You wouldn't want to

"Why-er-no. stammered Chad

Then if you'd please find someone

sparkling eyes pleaded with him in the
old familiar coaxing way.
But there isn't anybody else" sulked
Chadwick.
Eulalie laughed. But you could pre-
tend there was and stop all the old tab
bies from talking"
Il could make you happier than he
does protested Chadwick then. please.

But you couldn't. Not ever" said
Eulalie TO that. becoming earnest.
Truly, Sid, l mean it."
"Well Chadwick gave an
angry sigh. For the first time in his
entirely pleasant life his wish was be-
ing denied. and be wasn't at all sure
how to take it. "If my regard for you

Then, because she felt that under all
his selfishness Sidney Chadwick was
really fond of her in his own way, Eu-

table to him in a desire to soften the
hurt she had given.

broke off short, wide-eyed, holding fast
to his hands in a paralysis of aston
ishment.
For there, looming large above the
two of them, stood Rodney Thorne, and
this Rodney Thorne was a stranger to
her.

not keep her from being a pathetic
figure. she was so changed. Gone were
the old challenge and recklessness.
Only the old sweetness and tender

Eulalie's it takes trouble to sound the

SEGUIN TO MAKE BIG

BIG LEAGUERS HOME
Sox Players Will Not Be
AlIowed to Walk a Step,
ItSeems.

Segllin, Tex, Feb. 24.-Seguin is
going to welcome the Chicago White
Sox in style when they arrive for
spring training here within the next
two weeks. Teams and committees
are busy attending to all the arrange
ments preliminary TO what is one OF
the biggest events of the year in this
town.
The Sox on arrival will find Austin
street decked with banners, many OF
them bearing the words welcome
Back Home" Most of the stores will
have special window displays featur-
ing the Sox and major league base
ball, and there probably will be a
band. OF course, most everybody in
town will be at the station if the team
arrives at a daylight hour.
Committees have been appointed to
arrange for the decorations and TO
provide transportation from the sta
ton to the hotel, from the hotel to the
ball park each day, and, for the games
between the Sox and the New York
Giants, between San Antonio and Sc
gum.
Seguin will get two exhibition
games between these major league
teams, the first of which win be play

LALLY AND MANGHAM
MAY GET A WHACK AT
HAGEN AND KIRKWOOD
Kirkwood limited and Will
Put Proposition Up
to Partner. H..

There is a probability that Tom
Lally and Clarence Mangham, local
golf professionals, who gave Jock
Hutchinson and Gene Sarazen such
a sensational battle at &c holes in
the rain here Friday, viii meet WAL
ter Hagen and Joe Kirkwood on a
local golf course before many weeks.
Before leaving, Kirkwood, who was
here and gave a demonstration OF hrs
skill after Fridays match, was in
vited to stop over on his and Hagen's
way East, after they have completed
their motion picture in California,
and stay a few days at Medina lake.
The invitation was extended by Bill
Furlong and Kirkwood was tickled
with the prospect. He said he was
sure Hagen, who is fisherman and
fond of all outdoor sports, would
jump at the invitation if he could
make his plans conform.
1t is the plan, if the. invitation is
accepted, to devote one day of the ia
nous stars visit to a match between
them and Lally and Mangham. Kirk
wood said he might also give another
trick exhibition.
A match with Hagen and Kirkwood
one one hand and Lally and Mangham
on the other would be of peculiar in
terest here, since it would give local
golf fans, who have seen the BEST
in the business in action this win
ter, chance to compare Sarazen and
Hagen. for example There is n very
decided belief locally, that Hagen
right now could give Gene beauti-
full trimmine.

Hutchinson Decides
Golf Worst Paying
Profession Estant

Pity the poor golf professional!
Jock Hutchinson says it's the poor

world. of sport. And, in thus voic-
ing his sentiments on the subject,
Jock discloses figures which are Of
interest.
He says he knows it to be fact
that not more than half a dozen
golf professionals get more than
$4,000 n year from all sources

movies. testimonials, concessions.

half dozen of the leaders in the
game, which doubtlessly includes
Jock Hutchison.
"The Others" he said. "are The
kind who may now and then get
travelling expenses out Of the big.
money tournaments, what few of
this nature there are, and who
never get the valuable publicity the
top-notchers receive, which paves
the way for their real money-mak-
ing possibilities. ,

Jack Tarrant, 21-year-old San An

who has seen him as an unusually
promising amateur player, added an
other honor to his growing string Sat
urday by coming out on top of an
amateur field at Houston that includ-
ed the best in the state and a few
good ones from outside Texas. Tar
rant is having his greatest year in golf
although he has been playing the
game among the top-notchers for sew
eral seasons. He finished fifth in the
great field of professionals in the

SHELTON LINES UP
WHAT LOOKS TO BE
CLASSY FIGHT CARD
Vasquez and Mccoy, Welch
and Rico, Gilstrap and
Kuhns Listed.

Promoter Jack Shelton, in waxing
enthusiastic, is often inclined to voice
the opinion that his next boxing card
to be the "best yet" Sometimes he
is right. 1t looks as if he's sure right
when he says it about the bill he has
lined up for Tuesday night, March 6,
at Beethoven Hall.
Take a look at this:
Return bout between Johnny Mccoy
and Mike Yasquez, twelve rounds, in
stead of ten.
Return bout between Steve WEIGH,
the Arizona Kind" and Sam Rico,
eight rounds.
Eight-rounder between Battling
Kuhns, former local favorite who
has been going great guns through
the Shreveport and Memphis country
and George Gilstrap, Fort Sam Hous-
ton, champion of the American Forces
in Germany.
. How's that?
Shelton, who left Saturday night
for Ell Paso with Kid Pancho, who
fights Jimmy Russo in the bull ring at
FL Paso in 15-round bout Wednes-
day, said before he left that there was
such demand among the fans for an
other Mccoy bout that he de-
cided to- match them up again. Nc
Coy and Vasquez put on a vicious
10-round bout here two weeks ago.
Most called it a draw, some thought
Mccoy won, while the gallery gave it
to Vasquez.
WEIGH writes Shelton that the
danced shoulder which caused him to
give up to Rico after FASTING Sammy
for couple of rounds last Tues
day is healing rapidly. He's Smarting
under the suggestion that he quit to
Rico and says he wants a chance to
whip the local weller. -,
The appearance of Gilstrap in a
downtown ring should draw out lot
of fans. This 165-pounder cleaned up
everything from welters to heavy
weights along the Rhine before the
boys returned home. Kuhns, who was
always tough and willing, has i'm
proved in his boxing and is a classy
customer now, it is said. Kuhns has

ago. has been indefinitely postponed
again. 1t was planned to hold the
match play at the Country Club Mon.

As soon as-the course is judged to
be in good shape for the tournament
and a decision is reached on starting
it, those who qualified will be amply
notified through the press.
