OF A RILEY NATURE

Now that the big leaguers are
commencing their training in the
South attention is once more
turned to the great American
sport of base ball.
That the sport is good one,
healthy one and gives thrills to
thousands and thousands the
land over there can be no doubt
about, and the editor of this pa.
per is almost tempted to say that
a person has not the real Ameri-
can spirit unless he can enjoy
base ball. but looking back of the
scenes things are not always SO
mirthful and peaceful. The
fighting spirit and wrangling is
not confined to the small town
teams alone-but in professional
base ball and big leagues it is
under enough control and super
vision so that rarely ever any
thing of the disorderly type is
started while a game is on. The
fan sees the skillful playing, he
enjoys it and il gives him great
thrills.
IL has been said that after a
career as professional base ball
player man usually goes out a
good poker player. Likely there
is a lot of truth in il because
where there is too much spare
time it is going to be killed" in
some manner and often the xii
ling" turns TO cards.
But the subject was fighting
and wrangling. Every real base
ball fan has heard of Tyrus Cobb,
the crafty manager of the De-
troit team. His record on the
diamond as one of the stars. has
been watched with interest.
Many know how many hits he
made in that and that game,
what his batting average was,
ETC., but his record off the dia-
mond and desire for quick re-
venge is perhaps not so we'll
known.
Following is an article from
last Sundays Pioneer Press:
Tyrus Raymond Cobb. erstwhile
Georgia Peach" is lighting again.
Cobb has once more dropped the
Georgia Peach" part 81 his name
and in polite police circles he is
known only by the inscription found
ON the Atlanta police register; "Ty-
rus Cobb. IS, Augusta. Ga"
Two words following cobb's name
explained his latest episodo-disord-
erly conduct.
Cobb was taken to the Atlanta po-
lice station the other night after an
argument with waitress over the
size 90 lunch check. The managers
wife was called to assist the waitress
In the argument. She struck Cobb
over the head with a glass and called
the police.
The policeman said Cobb told him
to run along and sell your papers"
when he administered some fatheriy
advice TO Cobb. But the officer rang
for the patrol. Cobb prevailed upon
him 10 allow him to call a taxi. and
the pair rode to the police station In
state.
Many OF the big" scenes In which
Ty Cobb has played leading role
since beginning his major league
baseball career In Detroit have not
taken place on the diamond.
He had two lights with Charlie
Schmidt. first-string catcher on the
Detroit club when Cobb joined. One
OF these bouts took place at Augusta.

LABOR SURPLUS
BEING ABSORBED
Coal Industry Unde!goes Un-
Usually Bad Slump.
By G. A. R,andau
Times Staff CorresDondent

WASHINGTON, D. c., June IL
Usually bad times in the bituminous
coal industry have brought about
a considerable surplus Of labor in
Indiana the Department Of Labor
reported today in it's monthly sum-
mary of employment conditions.
"A small surplus Of common
labor continues to exist throughout
Indiana" the report states, 'but
this surplus is steadily being alb
sorbed." One of the outstanding
employment problems Is the unem-
ployment existing among miners in
the mining regions.
although there was some curtail-
ment in May in iron and steel, this
industry is still operating on good
production figures and full employ
ment is reported.
Building tradesmen, and highly
skilled automobile mechanics are in
demand and the auto industry in
particular enjoying boom times, y
this summer.
The Department reported labor
surplus in Indianapolis owing to the
fact that glove facory, furniture
factory and foundry are ON part
time.

LIST TO PLANT OF NUT,
new RADIO BUG VICTIM
BY PHIL FORD

You either are or you aren't.
There's nothing halfway about
radio. It's like the mumps. you catch
it in a hurry, and if you get it, you
get it, and if it doesn't take, then
you're all right. b..
But radio is more contagious than
mumps, even. t. .
This is supposed to be the story
of an amateur, who turned radio
"bug" in one night.
But I'm no longer an amateur.
Not after that hectic night Of
thrills, while Chicago, New Orleans,
Denver, Omaha, Kansas City, Albu-
querquc, Sioux City, Cincinnati and
Los Angeles we're crashing through
the ether with the first radio pro-
gram 1 ever heard.

The old fellow felt no such COM

Calamity has its limits and the

Nora Lee Dismisses
Him Abruptly.
CHAPTER Xxx

She let Richard do that
made no protest.
In the sick violence of his
emotion, he was about to
dash from the house; never
look at her again. But he
saw Richards arm slacken.
He turned abruptly to the
small sun room and stood in
the shadow. Richard passed
down the hall and out.
He bit his lips, swearing, unable
to master the sobs that rushed against
his throat. He felt outraged as though
a loved thing of beauty-his and in
credibly sweet-had been slain before
his eyes. He was forced TO watch
to stand powerless and watch.
A sound came to him across the
ball--soft, pitiful, murmuring. He
could see Nora Lee standing near the
table where Richard left her-leaning
against it. Her back was toward him.
She toycd with flowers in :. bowl.
Graceful, cold, tearing petals from an
orchid, letting them flutter slowly to
the floor.
"AT WRONG TIME"
He saw the black. curly head down.
tilted, the ripple of the silken nesligee;
saw the cane she used now to aid her
in walking dropped on chair. A cry
charged upward.
Without turning, Nora Lee called
in a relieved, half-sobbing tone that
he thought was the residue of her deep
emotion: "Dane! Is that iOU?"
He answered dumbly: yes"
"You sound tired Still she didn't
turn.
"You seem absorbed. Perhaps I've
come at the wrong time?"
A sharp, broken gasp: Eyes, perhaps
you have"
She faced him then, reaching out
her hand. He noticed the deep pallor
of her cheeks, her eyes lowered.
He walked up to her, but without
touching her hand, demanded fiercelJ:
Mora Lee! Do you love mc?"
Love you? Why, what's the matter,
Dane?"
Answer me-"
Fire shot into her pale checks and
moody eyes. The full, vivid lips part
ed. She stared at him, indignant and
hurt. "What do you act so? Why do
stalk in here like this:"
He caught hold of her hands and
squeezed them cruelty: "You answer
Are you going to marry me? Or arc
you playing me like you play the
others?"
She raised her head angrily, the dark
hair flung back. She looked for the
first time into the desperate anguish
of his face-saw the haggard trembling
of his sweet, stubborn mouth. She
nut her hand pleading and bewildered
on his arm: "Dane-what has happen
cd? Why are you so furious!"
She felt weak and unable to breast
another storm just then. She thought
miserably: HAS he been drinking,
too:7
He stared back at her and shot
through his teeth: "You don't know,
I suppose? You're mystificd? You've
played with me. Nora Lee, for three
years. but you don't do it any long
