SOME FISH GAVE THEM RESTLESS NIGHT.

~ UR boat was finished-a
fine. forty-foot cruiser. We
~ had just completed the
furnishings and were making
ready to start on our first cruise.
Since the boat was built in New
York, we thought the best trip
to take was to go down Long
Island Sound and then to coast
along the New England shore.
So, on a beautiful sunny day,
we started early In the afternoon,
leaving the North river, passing
down around the Battery. from
whore we could see the Statue
Of Liberty, up East river,
through Hellgate and down the
Sound.
After we passed through He'll
gate It commenced to get dark
and a wind came up. 1t looked
as II we might have q storm. and
after darkness finally came upon
us 1t did blow can tell you.
I'll try to make Oyster Bay"
said I. THAT is fine harbor,
and we'll get a good nights rest"
So on we plowed. The seas
were coming over the side and
our staunch little boat sometimes
fairly trembled. You know that
Long Island Sound can get awful
ly rough sometimes.
Watch for a light on the
right" said / to Bobby, as we
came near Oyster Bay. I'VE
make a sharp turn there and it
takes us straight into the bay"
Suddenly we heard drumming
sound, looked at Bobby and
Bunny. They looked at me.
Sounds like breakers" whis-
pered Bobby.
1T certainly sounds like surf.
This wind is enough to kick up
a surf even in an island body of
water" / murmured. 81 wonder
If we're following the chart cor
rectly. Perhaps we're getting in
too near the shore"
Bobby took the wheel for a mo.
ment and l studied the chart.
NO" said l. I'VE haven't made
a mistake. We're all right. 1

When you think that Mamie
Casey is blind to Peter Browns
stumbling walk and drab hair
and wide mouth, she is 10 busy
looking at the twinkle in his blue
eyes, hearing the rich lcve-note
in his voice and glorying in the
tender strength Of his strong
arms that she isn't conscious Of
the things on which you are To-
cussing. If you were Mamie and
loved Pete perhaps you would
like that characteristic walk and
be grateful for the generosity OF
the wide mouth.
Your beloved forgets to be
awkward and self conscious and
stingy because you are seeing
that he is strong and honest and
tender and kind and You are ex-
pecting the best Of him. You
aren't blind to his faults. You
aren't excusing them or trying to
forget them. You are simply IN
SEEING THEM. And for lack Of
attention and care and cultivar

didn't see have to stop being.

Ollinger And Reese Last Of Veterans To Show
 Up On Plains

AUBURN, Ala, Sept. 1O.-(Speciai) The presence of Bath Ollinger and John Reese. fullback on Drake field this afternoon. completed the list Of the IF letter men expected to return to the Plains this year. Ollinger, will in all probabilities, take up residence at the end where he has been stationed for two years, and where last year, he deyeloped into a fine custodian of the wing position, playing an excellent brand of football. Ollinger, with Fruit and l.. Spinks are a trio of veterans who served at end last year.
 Reese, will again be on the lookout for assig gnment to duties at fullback where he made good last year-his bucking against the Army Mule in the Auburn-Army game in '23 featuring the work of this department for the season.
 All "A" Men Back.
 The list of wearers of the Auburn "A" now on duty at the Tiger liar ln- clude Captain Lawrence and Lutz at center, Self, Sitz and McFadden, guards Brice and Harkins at Tackle; Ollinger, Pruitt and l.. Spinks, ends; Crane and Petersen, quarters; Harri- son, Williams and Allen, halves; Reese and Green, fullbacks. These, with d number of other worthy contenders on duty, Coach Pitts, and his lieutenants have given the "straight-ahead" signal which means longer practice periods and more intensive workouts getting ready for the "opener" on the 27th.
 The card Tuesday afternoon was fea- tured by a rather long formation drill after signals had been given the squad.
 Old Stars Return.
 Several old grid stars of former Tiger teams have shown up at Drake field during the opening days of college, to look oyer the prospective varsity men in action. Among those present, was Jim Patterson of Montgomery, who was a star tackle, and one of the famous Patterson quartet of brothers that played on Auburn teams along about 1903 and later years. Jerry" Gwm, prominent lineman in the early days and now of Birmingham was viewing Tuesdays activities on the football field. Along with Gwin came George Penton, star fullback, 19O6'09 and later assistant coach to Mike Done hue.

WIN
 DOUBLE-HEADER / z. Alabama Power Takes Lead In City Cham
 pionship Series

The Alabama Power company nine of the City league took manly stride to- ward winning the city champion We'd nesday afternoon by copping both con tests of her double-header in the elimi- nation series now in progress. The Powermen defeated Fairfield, 8 to !, in the opening game and came back in the second game and walloped Sloss By-Products, 8 to 3.
 In the Fairfield game Whelchel, southpaw twirler for the Power team, was invincible and turned back the slugging Fairfield team hitless for seven innings. The western division cham pions did not get a semblance of hit until the eighth. Then with one man down in what was to have been the last inning, as the managers agreed to call the game at 5 80 o'clock, Berk dropped Texas leaguer back of short, just in too close for Loveless to get under it. After Bumgardner ha d walked and Rogers popped up to Whel- chel, Merrill hit slashing single over short for the only other hit obtained off the Alabama Powermen's forkflinger.
 Errors Count Heavily.
 Errors by both teams accounted for many of the runs in this game as the Powermen only obtained seven hits off Havron and Vines. Ragged playing by the Fairfield defensive works in the first and second innings accounted for most of the scores. Havron was taken out of the box in the third inning and Pop" Vines, who twirled a hard game Monday, went into the box and held the Powermen to one run and four hits for the remainder of the game.
 The hitting of Brinkskelle featured this game. He hit three singles out of four tries at. bat. The base running of Loveless also was high light. Whel- chel struck out five men.
 Sloss Opens Strong.
 The Sloss By-Products crew opened up well and it appeared that they were going to give the Powermen a good chase in the second game by the man. ner in which they hopped onto the of ferings of Cunningham. However, the slugging of the Alabama Power com pany's hitters in the third frame put a different aspect onto the outlook.
 Cunningham was touched up rather Ireely, every man on the Sl0SS nlne getting at least one safe hit, although only eleven hits were obtained. Boston was hit harder and more timely by the Power nine and the slugging of Love- less and Love featured. Love slapped out a home run over the center fielder head and pair of singles while Love- less hit a double and two singles.
 The fielding of Ewart Speer featured while Brinskelle and Murphy played a nice game.
 A double-header will be played Thurs day afternoon on the American Steel and Wire Mills diamond at Fairfield in which the Alabama Power team and Fairfield will engage in the first gaae and Fairfield and Sloss By-Producta will play the second encounter. = The first game is slated to start at ? 100 o'clock.
