CAST OFFS LIKE TO
 BEAT FORMER PALS
Players Enjoy Trimming One
 Time Teammates
(By Billy ENans)

Nios Dtily bNEHs' Strange how ball players like to beat clubs that have turned them loose.
 Nothing gives Urban Shockcr of the St. Louis Browns more delight than trimming the New York Yankees.
 The pitching ace of the St. Louis Browns was turned over to that team by the Yankees almost as a gift pitch CT. Such treatment has always rankled in Sneakers breast,
 Ball players certainly like to trim clubs that turn 'em loose, and it's a strange coincidence that they often turn the trick.
 O'Nein and Second Baseman Bill Wambsganns will play their heads off for Boston when facing Cleveland this season.
 These two athletes were turned over to Boston, d tail-end ball club of last year, by Cleveland, a pennant contender. considered to have good Alldlllt tp ilblsH lilN lhObtg thto year.
 Ordinarily such trade would not make q player cnthusc, but things at Boston this year are different. Presi- dent Bob Quinn and Manager Lee lfohl are men well liked to play un- dor, Incidentally, Boston promises better things in baseball way,
 
 Well do I recall such an incident that involved one of the greatest char aeters the game hasever produced, the wonder pitcher of all time, Cy Young.
 
 The baseball world was treated to Il big surprise one morning to read that cy Young had been traded by Boston to Cleveland.
 Being traded by Boston was B dis tinct disappointment to Young. How ever, if he was to be shifted Clere- land was his second choice, He would then end his career where he started it.
 No doubt there was deep rooted ambition on the part of sIoung to show Boston fans and owner that he was far from through, if properly interpret the incident that happened in tho first meeting of tho two clubs.
 Tho game was played at Boston and going into the fourth inning Cleveland had lead of couple of runs. It had drizzled in the third inning and was raining rather hard when the fourth was started.
 Realizing that the veteran Young was a valuable piece of pitchingl and not desiring to jco- par,iize his condition, l walked out 10 bim and off.hand remarked that il was raining pretty hard.
 "Don't you da-e call this game, Bill," was his immediate answer, "Pll hold this two-run lead 10 the finish unless tho park floats away. If ever wanted to win ball game, this is the one.
 When it started to drizzlc in the third inning, l prepared for real rain. I just chased 10 the club house and slipped on my rubber shirt. It can rain cats and dogs and it won't bother me.
 Don't call this game if there is a chance to finish it."
 | had 10 smile at the precautions Young had taken. We played the nine innings in drizzle and Cy held the Iwo-run lead to the finish.
 It will he interesting 10 sec what O'Neill and wambsganns do.

A Wife's Confessional
 Adele Phase REVELATIONS OF A WIFE

1 Edith can so with me, And of course l simply must have some new things"
 She looked at her son oXpectantly, and l saw an embarrassed flush on Dickys face. He always is gener- osity personified with his mother, and l never have known her to give him so broad a hint before, for Dicky always has kept her purse well supplied. But evidently she had no funds in hand, and 1t was equally patent that Diclly did not know just how to grant her implied request.
 "You're Fond of the Farm?"
 "Of course you must" Dicky said at last. Just let me know how much money you need, and I'll get I'll give 1t to you"
 "1'll so right now and figure it all out" she said, as happy as a child, and went rapidly from the room with no sign whatever of the bitter anger she had eNnced toward both Dicky and me only few moments before.
 I stole f,rtive glance at my hus- band. If ] was not mistaken, he had started to say "I'll set it for you" instead of 'I'll give 1t to you"
 Was it possible that Dicky was financially embarrassed, and if so, i why?
 There was no possible reason of which I knew which would warrant 1 his confusion at his mothers need 1 for a wardrobe of any reasonable | extent
 i Well. that's that" he said, as the door closed behind his mother, and realized that whatever his diem ma, Dicky did not mean me to share 1 it. Mother going south with Leila and Ede, little me 10 the studio. Where do you want to go for this rest from each other I'm planning"
 Dicky's eyes were fun of mis- chief. but I felt anything but mirth- ful. The very fact that he was rest less enough to wish to scatter the l family for even a few days, press aged trouble of some kind for me. I told myself this dolcfully, even as 3aliantly tried to answer him with the same mischevous carelessness he had displayed.
 I'm going nowhere while you're gone" I said. Tt will be all the i rest need to stay here on the farm without anybody to bother me-"
 "Whew!"' Dicky whistled and looked at me curiously Then. thoughtfully he put startling query:
 You're mighty fond Of the farm, aren't you? Suppose I ask you to leave it?"

remark; then my wife showed equal temper to mine.
 "I'll say l will. I'm tired of your sudden tempers John. I'm going to be free born white woman from now on. I've made all concessions possible. Either you let me explain and you accept my explanation at its face value, or we would better agree to disagree"
 I'd better say goodby, then" I said.
 At that moment Mother Hamilton came to the door.
 Jack, your father wants to see you" and I Strode away.
 The whole thing was on again. As I stumbled into Mir. Hamilton's room I said to myself that l would take the first train back to Albany.
 Again the fates seemed to con- spire against me. and it looks now as though l would soon be moving to Pittsburgh. l do not think, Syd, that Father Hamilton will ever again get up from his bed. Before l left his room he told me that he doesn't expect to get well, and you know when as brave a man as he says he has given up, he has practically lost the fight.
 I was greatly shocked when l saw him, and was not able to keep all of my concern out of my face. He could hardly hold out a trembling hand to me, and spoke in a very weak voice as though to confirm what he saw in my face.
 "Yes, my boy, have come to the end of the way. Except for my dear wiie's sake, l think l will be per fectly content to go, for l am mex pressibly tired and long sleep comes with an appealing gesture toward me"
 Even that short speech was al- most more than he could manage. Abruptly, however, he gathered strength.

they hugged each other ever so many times and thanked the Rag gedvs for helping them.
 Tt is a shame for the Wizard to work such uukind magic!" Rsggedy Ann said. Maybe it would be a good plan for us to take all the charms away from him so that he can never do any mean magic again."
 "Tf you do not take my magic charms away from me. will prom ise never to work unkind magic again." the Wizard told Raggedy Ann.
 "But how can we really and truly believe that you will do as you say?'' Rsggedy Ann asked the Wizard.
 T don't knovi" the Wizard re- piled. But if you take my charms away from me then can't have any

fun at all!"
 "Just let me see your magic charms, Mister Wizard pIease!" Raggedy Ann said as she held out her hand.
 The Wizard turned his bag in which he kept his magic charms up- side down in Raggedy Ann's hand.
 Well! No wonder" Raggedy Ann cried when tshe saw the charms. Just you look at that, Raggedy Andyw
 Walter and his mama and daddy as well as Raggedy Andy and the two wooden hobby horses all crowd- ed around Raggedy Ann to look at the magic charms. There was a car pet tack, the cork out Of little pill bottle, two grains Of corn and a hair pin. Just see that" Raggedy Ann said. How can anyone spect to work nice kindly magic when one of the charms is a carpet tack which is crooked and a hair pin which is so twisted? Just you tell me that, Mister Wizard! How do you spect to do it?"
 T do not know" the Wizard re- piled, and he punched his big toe in the sand and hung his head. T just picked up the charms along the path here in the woods and spected they were magic charms and when I tried them, sure huff, they worked!" So Raggedy Ann asked Walters daddy to straighten out the carpet tack and the hair pin.ea and when th!s was done, Raggedy Ann handed the l charms to the Wizard. Now you try them, Mister Wizard" Raggedy Ann said, and I'll bet nickel they work nice, kind magic" So, when the Wizard tried the strengthened charms he and everyone eIqe was de. lighted to see patch of cream puff begin growing right beside a soda water fountain.
 Now! You see." Raggedy Am laughed as she passed around crean puffs to all while Raggedy And! handed everyone a soda, Tt is mucl nicer giving happiness than it t making people unhappy" And tn, Wizard knew that Raggedy Ann wa! right, for he felt very happy at th, pleasure he had given the others.

CHAPTER l. Finley's Return

Dusk is in Itself sinister. Bright monday or black midnight arc definite, positive, even tangible, but dusk Is uncertain, mysterious, eerle And once 1t begins its creeping, in- sidious progress, 1t comes faster and more inexorably with every moment until its first gray, waverIng sha- dows turn to dense and menacing shapes.
 At Power Acres, the beautiful Long Island home of the Raynors, a September dusk was stretching shadows across the terraces and massed flower beds.
 Through the falling darkness rang out single shot.
 Tn the wide doorway between the house and the sun parlor the giim- mer of a white-clad figure pierced the gloom, and a door facing east and door facing west, both swung on their hinges.
 And on the floor, crumpled into an ungainly heap, lay the inert form of Douglas Raynor, its outline in- distinguishable in the sudden com plete darkness, till click of a switch button sounded and the bright lights flashed out,
 Three days before, Malcolm Finley had returned from Japan. The quickly successive sensation, incident to landing and reaching 6 hotel. all pleased him. and in sheer delight he noted or missed old lond' marks until alone in his room al the Waldorf, he began to feel {

DEFENSE MOVES IN
 P07H|ER TRIAL
Seeks to Have Alleged Comics
 SiOns Excluded

Tacoma, Wash, Oct. 9.-Counsel ! for former Sergeant -Bugler Orland H. Pothier, accused Of murder as the result of the death of Major | Alexander Cronkhite, who was shot while on a practice march at Camp Lewis in 1918, was prepared today to open~the defense by moving for the withdrawal of all confessions excepting the first one offered by the prosecution.
 Maurice Lsnghorne, defense at torney, based his motion on the grounds that the purported confess sions were inadmissible through having been obtained with no cau- ton to the prisoner and that undue influence had been used over him.
 The confession not wished with drawn was made to Thomas J. Cal Iaghan, department of justice agent at Providence, R. l., March 19, 1921, and admitted Pothier, killed the major accidentally while unloading his pistol.
 Langhorne moved yesterday after i the government rested, for dismissal of the case on the ground that there had been no evidence before the jury which would corroborate any Of the alleged confessions of Pothier. The expected legal battle over the question of Jurisdiction will not come until the conclusion of the case. Langhorne announced.
 James S. Lee. department of { justice agent in New Haven, Conn.,, testified yesterday of obtaining a confession from Pothier that the defendant had killed Major Cronk- hite.
 While he was questioning Pothier, Lee testified, Pothier suddenly said:
 Let's get down to brass tacks. l killed Major Cronkhite and Captain Rosenbluth put me up to it."
 Robert Rosenbluth. a captain al the time the major was killed is awaiting trial on charge of mur- der growing out of Major Cronk- hite's death.
 T4anghorne in cross examining Lee tried to get him 10 admit that the confession was obtained only after Pothier had been ruthlessly cross examined for several hours.
 Langhorne produced the official report of Lee to the government and he read from it a statement in which Lee said:
 Tt will require much patience rather than ingenuity to induce Pothier to tell the truth. He is a type of man whose mind is abso- lutely blank at times
 LanEhorne. using this statement questioned Lee regarding his opinion concerning Pothier's mental condition. Lee refused 10 admit more than that he considered Pothier below par"
 The last witness heard was !. T S Lyle. Tacoma attorney and for. mer president Of the chamber oi commerce. His testimony was heard in an effort to determine whether Camp Lewis. where Major Cronk. hite was shot. was under federal Jurisdiction on the date of the shoot ing.

And so he quiets Nan now and then--but truly It's seldom necessary, for the girl is so we'll poised herself. If she ever regrets her marriage, no one is al- lowed to guess 1t from her words or actions."
 "Bless her heart, Perhaps it isn't so very bad. Raynor had big qualities"
 "Yes, but also some mighty small ones! He can jab the iron into his wife's soul, and then twist 1t around in the wound with a dlabolical cleverness."
 "Is she alone with him, except for orville?"
 Lord, no. There's quite a house. hold. Raynors sister, Miss Mattie, is there-also a nurse"
 "A nurse?"
 Not eSactly-that IS, bnes what they call dictitian-you sec, Ray nor has developed a hippy concern as to his health, and he lives on calories or carbohydrates or some- thing-anyway they have to be weighed and counted by trained dietary person, hence the nurse."
 "H'm-an old man, apprehensive about about his health, is a line mate for lovely Nancy Kent" Exactly. Why did she marry him?"
 "I'd like to go down there, God dard. Would it be taking my life in my hands?"
 Unless Raynor invites you, yes"

Why Is Dicky Troubled

Leila is on the wire Mother, and wishes to speak to you. I'll hang up."
 l waited for no further word from my doughty mother-in-Iaw. l was too thankful that she had put the downstairs receiver to her ears after Leila had finished her gleeful triumphant announcement to risk any further complications, and hanging up the receiver, l turned back to smile at Dicky's anxious face.
 Its all right" l reassured him. "I don't think she heard thing she shouldn't"
 She ought to have heard the whole thing" he growled. She has a crust, listening in that way"
 Don't you realize that she doesn't consider she is eavesdrop- ping" l soothed. She simply be- lieves that she has royal right to know everything that is going on In the house, and considers any means justified which procures her the in- formation"
