Mary Rose hesitated. She

anywhere else. But her pride

surrender.
You never told me why you

When LOUe Is Real

Long. long ago a wonderfully wise man
told us to Confess One Another" And his
wisdom endures through the centuries, for it
is fundamental truth. For love cannot
endure without perfect truth. And trust
cannot be without perfect franlkness. And If
there be neither trust nor frankness it will
be impossible for love to exist.
If your love is strong to acknowledge inn
plicit Trust and perfect Faith, then truly you
are blessed, for this is the perfect love. But
if you are jealous, unbelieving, skeptical--
then you don't know love, the real true love.

FOR SERIES TICKET

By the Associated Press
ST. LOUIS, September 15.-The
Federal Government has inserted an
other "if'' i'm the National League
pennant race.
The st. Louis post Office has asked
the department III Washington If the
plan announced for sale of world
series tickets here did not constitute
violation Of regulations forbidding
operation Of a lottery through the
mails.
Postmaster Alt said he was quite
sure that determination of who gets
tickets and location of seats by any
drawing would constitute a violation.
He requested a definite ruling from
Washington. however.
Sam Breadon. Cardinal president,
said he would modify the plan to con.
form to any suggestion of the Post
Office Department.
Meanwhile six clerks began the
task of opening seven sacks of mail
estimated to contain 1880 letters,
with more than enough applications
to exhaust the 23,235 reserved seats
and indefinite number of box seats.
Neither Cincinnati nor Pittsburgh
has announced any plans for ticket
sale, although the Reds forged into
the lead yesterday by winning from
Brooklyn while the Cardinals We're

This stocky athlete, who is feet 1012

of the Blue Ridge circuit.
In 1923 he shifted to Springfield OF
the Eastern Association. In 1924 he
was transferred to New Haven of the
same loop, and remained with that
club until purchased by the Nationals
early this month. His record with New
