The Dramatic Story Of

But they had tickets for q con-

thoughts: Perhaps he knows"

The concert was about half over
when she noticed. at an obliQue
angle three rows in front Of them,
q girl with gold hair done high
above q very white neck. Shq
recognized it even at half
glance and before she had seen
the beautifully sculptured head Of
Barry Oumno.
A heat shot through Chicltie'e
veins, whirling like q flame about
her face. She glanced at her
program, trying TO hide the scar

She remained in this attitude.
AS from another world, the mu-

voice.
She had not seen Barry Dunno

the night she had gone to
FiSherman's Wharf-and he had
waited frantically on the corner.
He. had walked along with her,
and when they reached the lamp

prints on the cement. He had
stopped and touched the dripping
edges Of her coat.
All this came soaring back into
her mind, and how he had fol-

the climbing roses, showed him
her swollen wrists; how he had

She closed her eyes. She had
scarcely heard q note, but she
said: "Wonderful-zsn't it,"

assuming quiet air. She was
afraid people would hear the

But they could easily leave with

THREE TEAMS TIE
 FOR CAGE TITLE


 CHICAGO, March 16.--Wisconsin hay ing defeated Chicago at basketball on the closing day, the Badgers, the Maroons and the Illinois five ended the season tied for first place in the Big Ten" conference.
 Had the Chicago university team de- feated the Badgers Saturday night the Maroon five would have had a clear title to first place.
 The game marked the close of the most hectic season in the history of Big Ten" basketball. Most of the games played during the season were hard fought and the victories were won by small margins. The Chicago Wisconsin game, however, was an ex- ception, the Badgers putting over a 30-to-14 victory on their Maroon op- ponents.
 The thre eIeaders finished with per- centages of .667 each. Each team won eight games and lost four. Chicago scored SIS points to 279 achieved by op- ponents; Wisconsin finished with 275 points to 25s of opposing lives. while Illinois made 327 to 267 of opposing lives 1t met.

 Bishop. topping the regular batting order, thumped out two. singles and a double and played skillfuily at the keystone.

Card Booked For
 Club Tonight
46 Rounds In All, M'Ginty
 And Brown Meeting
 In Star Bout /

Ever since the day David got up on his high horse and took a wallop at the giant Goliath there has been action in the world. The modern scrappers do not throw sticks and stones for the love of the things. No. Rather, al though they exchange slams for per sonal advantage, they do 1t in a busi- ness-like way, and the public is invited to be present at the exercises.
 This is the situation that is waiting to be tapped at the arena of the Bir- mingham Athletic club tonight. Two young men of swat, one William Brown of Memphis and parts, will engage one Johnny McGinty of Ensley and vicinity in what Is scheduled to be a 10-round encounter. Both gentlemen are primed for the fray, according to the most authentic reports, and the festivities are expected to be keen.
 The club members long have awaited the meeting of these pugilists. The Brown boy is said to have decisively defeated Kid Adams, the same party who shot the punch that dented Me Ginty's nose. This makes him look like a letter from home with money in it. McGinty has told his friends that he Is going to make Brown look like two cents. If the advance dope assured of the finest thing this side of Madrid, where they hold bull fights
 While the Brown McGinty thing is the piece de resistance for the evening, much other spectacular amusement will prevail Red Burke and Young Battling Kelly are down on the menu for eight sessions of hectic hitting, and their names alone guarantee a real fight. Toney Mareno and Sam Lavoy will meet in a four-chapter melee, and there will be two wrestling bouts
 Tom Lacey will grapple with the masked marvel" and Kid Lott and Young Adolphus. As a special affair, Kid Harper and Bigboy Crockard, heavyweights, will go four rounds, making 46 rounds of sport in all, a large evening for the members.

JOIE RAY WILL
 GO AFTER NURMI

NEW YORK, March 1s,--By Asso- ciated Press.)--Joe W. Ray, Americas premier mile runner for the past de- cade, has set his heart on a battle for Olympic supremacy with Pave Nurmi, his great Finnish rival, and to this end intends to concentrate his training for the 1,500-meter events, the nearest approach to the mile on the international program at Paris in July.
 Revealing his Olympic plans for the first time and setting aside all reports that he would abandon preparation for the short distance in favor of the 5000 meter race. "Chesty Joie" declared he had no doubt of his ability to conquer Nurmi who holds the worlds record for both the mile and 1.500 meters.
 Ray holds the American indoor record for 5000 meters. but also demonstrated his fitness for the l 800 meters last Friday night, when he established a worlds indoor mark for this distance at the Knights of Columbus games here. "Nurrni must be 8 great runner" Ray commented, "but I have no fear that can not take his measure. That's what I am out to do."

BILLIARDS IS
 LOSING PRESTIGE

BERLIN, March 16.-Billiards, first played so long ago that even historians have been baftled in their efforts to trace its origin, Is losing popularity in Europe, according to various author Ities, who attribute this to the general increase of interest in golf.
 There are no positive records just where and when the game of billiards began, but some historians report that during the rambles of Anacharsis, the Scythian philosopher, through Greece and other countries in quest of knowl- edge, he witnessed game analogous to billiards" and he liked it very much. Catkire More, king of Ireland in the second century, is known to have left behind him 55 billiard balls of brass rial. Billiards became popular in France during the reign of Louis XIV, whose physician recommended this form of exercise.

 SISLER IS BACK AND LOOKS<O. K.

MOBILE, Ala, March 1e.--Manaser George Sisler of the St. Louis Browns played his first game since October. 1922, today, an exhibition affair against the Mobile Southern association team, covering first base for seven innings. Sisler fielded faultlessly and was robbed of two chances to make spectacular catches of foul balls by interference from McManus who worked at second base. Sisler was up four times and his record for the day was a fielder's choice, a strike out, fly to left field and an infield out. The former pre- mier flrst-sacker of the majors took things easily, not exertins himself.
