The Story of Two Young People Who Were Destined for
Each Other, Though Every Influence Seemed
To Keep Them Apart

she was a weak, foolish thing
who would never have the force
to make trouble. Look at the
way she let herself be run by
her servants. Also, until now,
she had paid precious little at
tention to her daughter; there
was no reason to think she
would develop any more inter-
est in her later on. And the
child herself seemed malleable
material. There was no doubt
she would be a pretty woman,
and marrying very young, she
would certainly assimiIate the
standards of the GARNER family.
When the concert was over,
she said to Jean-Pierre, IF you
like, we will wait till the glrls
come out, and walk home with
Danielle and her classmates"
AS she spoke she nodded to cid
Jeanne Amigorena, the cook in
the American family, who stood
there. also waiting, her young
mistress cloak and hat on her
arm. It occurred to her that
one Of the first things to do
would be to eliminate that SER
want. She probably knew alto
gether too much about Marise's
family. It would not be prudent
to have her around q young
menage: and anyhow, old serv-
ants were an intolerable nuisance

UNIVERSITY. Ala, March 21.- Especially The Philadelphia Ath- letics ,were too much for Coach Ber- nier's Crimson Tide. and defeated Alabama by the one-sided score of IS to 9. Alabama fought hard throughout the game. but were never in the running with the more expe- rienced and brilliant players of Con- nie Mack.
 Alabama famed the spark of hope in the loyal hearts of the support CTS when they jumped off to a one- run lead in the first inning. but the Athletics got busy in the third, and hit McMillan's delivery all over the field for total of runs, and from then on it was 8 question of how much.
 Oliver was the hitting star of the Crimsons gathering a three-bagger and a single on his two trips to bat The fielding of Elmore in left field was of the sensational variety. he making total of putouts. some of which were beautiful catches.
 The stars of the Athletics were the whole team. They played a snappy brand of baseball. which the colle- gians were unable to do anything with. Heimach, with four hits, and Riconda, with three. led in hitting, while "Bing" Miller pulled some cir GUS catches in right field. Score: Alabama ....1oo 900 1oo-s

 Sporting editor, Age-Herald.
 Dear Sir
 My home Is in Birmingham, and being a dyed in the WOOL fan, ] drifted out to the ball park here to see Ty Cobb and his Detroit Tigers there I saw Johnny (Flip) Neun and hammer the old pill; while out had a good long chat with him. Of course, I asked him about coming back to Birmingham. This Is what ne said:
 "Detroit does not need a first
 baseman, Cobb will leave me in
 Birmingham while we are there for a practice game April 10. I
 like Birmingham but think they
 did not treat me exactly right, as
 I believe I could have made the
 grade with some other teams
 under the big top that wanted me, but while I am in the South
 ern league will give them the
 best I have.
 And I am telling you now. he cer- tainly is busting the old apple and fielding like fiend.

TOMMY TAYLOR IS' OUT OF LINEUP WITH AN INJURY

Joe Dunn will be forced to shift his Baronial line-up for the series with Toronto. This information was contained in & telegram from Billy West. secretary of the club, Thurs cay night.
 Billy Vests telegram stated that Tommy Taylor, veteran third base man of the Barons, injured his thumb In practice at Selma Tuesday. and that as a consequence Taylor will be out of the lineup for two or three days.
 Just what change Joe Dunn will make is not known, but. in case. he doesn't shift Walsh from short to third, with Meekin at short, he will probably use Yannigan infielder in the series with the Toronto Inter nationals. SuMp Clarke might be called in from left field to hold down the hot corner, as he has had some experience at that post.
 Billy West stated in his telegram Thursday night that the home run Danny Clark hir over the right centerfield fence at Selma Thursday. driving in three of the Barons' four runs. was the longest drive ever made in the Selma park.

The score was to for the Brewers, and incidentally under more favorable conditions than that of Tuesday. The only alibi the Macks have to offer is that number of the regulars were out of the city, playing the University of Alabama at Tuscaloosa. Pitching of Keefe for the winners was one of the main features. During his stay on the mound the Athletics didn't get anything resem bling a hit.

 The Passaic Herald sport scribe quoted Nanny Seman, prominent Jersey manager, promoter and train Ter of fighters, as saying he had made two offers to- Tommy Tomp- sons contract. The company" part is Claude himself. of course.
 The article quoting seman stated that Nanny had offered Tommy .Tompkins S15.O0O for Wilson's con tract, and added S15,000 more for Claude to sign. The offers were backed up by 90-day notes, fully said.
 When Tompkins was questioned about these offers. and his reasons for turning them down-and he did t, rn them down down in shYrt order-he
 Well, you see. if T. had agreed. I .would have had to turn Wilson over would have had three months to try his experiment out. If Claude fell down, when my $15,000 note fell due, the chances are 10 to l that they would have been worthless, as Seman would have sent Claude back to me.

His vision is so bad that he can not read more than a page of book at one sitting without getting a headache, but it has been that way for years. It doesn't in- terfere at all with his watching baseball walking up the lane and banging the baseball on the nose when it comes abreast of him.
 The Babe is through with eye specialists, however, until his batting average starts to skid. The last one he saw took him for $2o as the price for advising him to wear glasses, which the Babe would not do.
