car. She wrote out a check,
handed it to the Wolf, swung into
the seat. and was out the back
door. Immediately the Wolf
started for the bank, to see his
dad.
Here" he called, before ha
reached that worthy's desk, "have
this check cashed quick before
the Widow gets here"
1.-The Widow" questioned his
puzzled father.
"Yeh, sold that Widow what
lives across the street - the one
that wouldn't never do her busi-
ness here-that old junk pile Of
yours that you let the messengers
run night and day for two years.
She got it out of the shop all
right; but she'll be in trying to
stop payment on the check any
minute - and I'd never have the
nerve to sue her if she did-the
darn thing's junk inside"
The check was duly cashed.
But they had reckoned without
the Widow; for Mr.. Hyde had
taught her many little things.
The Widow knew, for instance,
that few business men look at
more than four things upon the
face of q check; the bank it's
drawn on; tile payee; the amount,
and the signature.
After having the no longer Sc
cuctive car hauled back to the
garage by a service car, she pre-
Eented herself at the bank. The
Wolf was still there, talking to
his dad She approached them
gaily, not at all apgered.
We'll. gentlemen, now that
you've had your little joke, if
you'll just stop grinning for a
moment, I'LL
you can't stop payment on the
check" leered the Wolf, Its al
ready cashed"' The Widow turned
wide eyes upon the rotund banker.
you don't mean to tell me, sir,
that you, a banker Of experience
and parts, as proclaimed so per-
sistently by your solicitors, cashed
my checkr'
why, certainly, Mrs. Hyde; we
had no instruction to the con.
trary."
But, my dear. sir! Today is
June second, nineteen twenty
three, and my check, as you wiA
readily see, if you will send for
it, is dated: June second, mne-
teen twenty-four; post-dated
check, you know. is absolutely
worthless to anyone until the day
it is dated; and 1 hereby notify
you to stop payment on it upon
that day-one year hence"
And so it came to pass that the
Wolf provided the Widow with a
merry little motor car, as seduc-
tive within as 1t was without: a
car that purred along country
highways like a happy, contented
cat, and forever after, the banker,
and the Wolf. looked with great
respect upon the sweet little
widow.

400 ATHLETES OF
SOUTHW EST AT
COLISEUM TODAY
by United Press Leased Wire

LOS ANGELES, May D. Foul
hundred of the best track athletes
of the southwest assembled here to-
day for the annual A. "A. u. classic
in the coliseum. Faif wcathr was
promised to help send previous rec
ords tumb ing.
Dean Cromwcll's s Trojan crew is
picked to win team honors in easy
fashion. Individual contests are eX-
pected to attract more interest, how
ever, than the fight for points.
The meet, looked upon as a pre-
liminary to the Olympic tryouts here
May "a, will afford opportunity to
the dopesters to pick the material
for the big day.
Announcement late yesterday by
Gwynn Wilson, general manager at
Z. s.. c., that the women's events
would not be- staged, came as u
shock to hundreds who expected to
enjoy the female contests. A col
lege ruling that no women could
take part il 4; meet where admis-
sion was charged led to the can
ceiling of the. events for high
school girls.
Pomona, entering strongsaggre-
CATION, is expected to come |out of
the meet with several honors to
her credit. Bob Maxwell, the dc
mon hurdler, should grab at least 10
points for his school.
Other teams entered i'll the meet,
in addition to the host of high
schools, include Redlands, Southern
Branch and Los Angeles Athletic
Club.
Final announcement by officials
late yesterday assured one official
Olympic tryout for the meet this

De PALMA FACES
OVERTHROW AT
RACE TOMORROW

AT the request of Cecil b. DeMille,
donor of the DeMille trophy to be
presented to the winner of the
triumph stakes a. Ascot Speedway
tomorrow, Lady Luck will deter
mine the pilot who draws the coy
etcd pole position at the start.
The contestants will draw for
positions i'll the event, instead of
taking them by virtue of trial laps
as on previous occasions. The idea
of the change is to keep Ralph De
Palma, incessant winner of the
chosc position, out of first place
from the very startt DcMille be-
licvcs that if the veteran is put
in the maze of cars that it will
supply a better race when the ltal-
ian goes out for victory.
Once the Italian is ousted from
the lead it is granted that Leon
Duray and Fuzzy Davidson will
give him plenty of trouble Lcfore
he goes ahead. "Babc' Stapp,
with his new Miller special, will
also be :, hard customer tomorrow.
De Palma has much respect Tor the
youngster and admits Il sort of
reverence for the other two.
Unless dame fortune favors De
Palma She king is due to be over
thrown.

DECISI ON FROM
MORAN OF N. 0.
Vicentini, After Another
Test Bout, to Fight
For Championship
By HENRY L. FARRELL,

NEW YORK, May 3.-After one
more test bout, Louis Vicentini
lightweight champion of Chile, cal
have match with Benny Leonard
for the world s championship, Tex
Rickard said today.
"I1 want to give him another
match in thn velodrome in u month
or so, and if he stands up II match
him with Leonard,' Rlckard said
Vicentini won IL l. round deci
sion from Pal Moran, New Orleans
in Madison Square Garden last
night, for the purpose of finding a
challenger for Leonard.
There were the customary boos =
when the decision was announced
and some disagreement was ex,
pressed from the press box but it
seemed that if for no other reason
than thas he did all the fighting
and all the work, the Chilean should
have had the decision.
Vicentini showed many technical
defects. He hits hard but he does
not know how to hit nor how to
follow a lead when he gets an open
ing. 1t was too much ITO expect,
perhaps, that he should knock out
Moran because the New Orleans
Italian is one of the toughest men
in the class and Leonard was un-
able to stop him.
Like Firpo, the Chilean likes to
swing his punches and fight at a
distance. He has Il distaste for close
fighting ana Knows no way for stop
ping body punches, which very
much distressed him several times
last night.
Moran is the hardest man in the
class to beat among the legitimate
ightweights. There ere very few
In the division who can make l35
pounds and there are some doubts
that the champion can make the
weight himself without a lot Of
punishment.
