CHAPTER TX

Tom Fitzroy's voice came to her
ear when she lifted the receiver
Mary Rose?"
What in the world could Tom
want, calling her at this hour of the
night? And only a few minutes after
he had left her, too.
Ell 1-just want to say I'm sorry
kissed you a while ago." he
answered her unspoken question
You didn't want me to, and I'm
sorry did"
she frowned IN the darkness.
sTon Fitzroy!" she said, lips close
to the rnouthpiece. did you get me
way downstairs in the middle OF
the night, just to tell me that?'
In the pause that followed she
could hear him breathe. Then his
voice again: Listen, Mary Rose
I've got to talk to you now, Tonight
You wait there for five min
utes! I'm coming backp'
''Ton! Tom. listen! Are you
there?" There was no answer, but
she knew he was listening. She
went on:
tom, if you come to this house
tonight, I'll never speak to you
again Talk about scandal! Why
it's almost 3 o'clock?
Eyes, / guess it is" he answered
II must be losing my mind-I never

They rang off.
Cray boy!" Mary Rose said to
herself, as she climbed the stairs.
But she smiled at her reflection ir
the mirror of the old dresser, as she
brushed her hair.
1t was comforting, somehow
to know that even If John Manners
didn't find her attractive, Tom F1tz
roy did.
1t was nice to know that even Il
she became an old maid, it would be

CHICAGO, February 1l.-Japan has
taken up golf in the same thorough

of the world TO study the game under

formation about golf.
After inspecting courses in Great
Britain and on the Atlantic seahoard,
Ito played few holes on one of the
four courses at Olympia Fields here
before pursuing his investigation
through the Pacific Coast States.
Ito proved he was qualified to gather
scientific data about golf links by
scoring 80, or only about par, for
nine holes on the strange and difficult
course under Winter turf conditions.
He used the best form in making his
strokes. His clubs We're so orthodox

For the third successive day. all the

brought qualification among tennis
fans, who feared they were to be de-

between the American star and SUI

Many expressions Of praise are

MEMBERS WILL ACT
ON GOLF CLUB LEASE

Members of the Indian Spring Golf
Club will meet tonight at the club
house. near Four Corners. Nd. to
vote on a proposal made by a group
of club officials to lease the property
as a going concern from Tom Moore
president of the club and owner of
the land and club equipment.
The lease proposal has been made
by a group headed by John F. Nc
Cormack. Perry b. Hoover and Ches-
ter c. Caywood. 1t contemplates a
10-year contract with Moore, during
which he will be paid $4,000 a year.
renewable at the end of 10 years for
) years with payments TO increase to
$4,000 a year. If the contract is
renewed at the end of Is years, the
payments will be higher.
Moore. according to members of the
board of governors, has spent ap-
proximately $4,000 in developing the
club and golf course. The initial
10-year contract to be presented Is
based on a reasonable return on an
investment of $3.50 900.
Although the meeting tonight is the
scheduled annual meeting of the club
at which officers are usually elected,
the election will probably be held over
for another month while the lease pro-

press such facts the effort would be
characterized by complete failure.
Dempsey's Little Joke.
SO the question rises just how has
League been able to conceal himself
all this while. One suspects that
Dempsey is having his little Joke.
Dempsey's sparring partners have
always been touted by the titleholder.
When he trained for the Carpenter
fight he had Jack Renault stopping
his punches. The Canadian did look
like fine prospect, and when Demp-
sey said he had all the earmarks
of a coming champion he was readily
believed.
is the big former mounted police
man? He certainly does not rate
high among the contenders.
Then Jimmy Dougherty, the baron
of Lieperville, Pa. took his colored
butler. George Godfrey, out TO Great
Falls. Mont, to act as Dempsey's
leading shock absorber when the
champ was preparing to meet Tom
my Gibbons.
The story went out that Gawge
shaped up SO finely that thereafter
any one wishing a crack at the title
would first have to fight his way
paft the giant negro.
In the last year Big George has
taken part in nine engagements, and
If one is TO judge by the caliber Of
these opponents and what Godfrey
did to them, the negro Is not all that
Dempsey cracked him up to be.
Godfrey Unimpressive.
Godfrey keeps challenging all the
top liners, but, if His manager is to be
believed, none Of them wants anything
TO do with the husky colored man

Another demonstration of his nerve
came one day in Cleveland. The
Baltimore Orioles and the Cleveland
Spiders were keen rivals in those days.
They were playing a tight contest in
Cleveland. Bill Hawke was pitching
for Baltimore. Hawke had a fast
dropping curve that few men ever hit
after it broke. The curve was break
ing good for him this day, right over
the plate. Cleveland got a couple of
men on in the home half Of the ninth
and seriously threatened Baltimore's
one-run lead. Two were out when
Patsy Tebeau, manager and first base
man Of the Spiders, came to bat
Hawke tried to break curve over the
plate for the first strike. Tebeau, who
had not been able to do q thing against
Hawke all day. ran up this time and
met the ball before 1t broke. He drove
it over the left fielder's head, sending
in the two runs and apparently win
ming the game.
Hurst Not Afraid.
Wilbert Robinson. catching for
Baltimore, appealed to Hurst as soon
as the ball was hit. He told Tim that
Tebeau had run two feet out of the
batter's box and was automatically
out. This was true and Hurst agreed.
You're out" shrieked Hurst.
There was a great commotion.
Everybody got into the argument.
Hurst explained to Tebeau that he
was out and told him why. The mob
called for Tins blood There were
demands that he be lynched
Hurst yelled, You're out, Tebeau,
and you stay out. The game is over"
Turning. he started for the club
mouse, glaring IN menacing manner to
the right and left. OF all the bowling
mob none laid hand on Hurst. They
even opened path for him and bel.
hgerently and defantly Hurst march
ed to the clubhouse.
There are a great many more Incl.
dents in which Hurst figured. A few
of them will be recalled in the next
chapter.

fer, who has shown better than me
dium; Ballou. who was with Wash
ington; Falk, left-hander. who should
come through with proper coaching,
and another youngster or so, and It
can he seen how a veteran catcher
like Schang might help put together
pitching staff that would turn III the
little matter of 10 or Is extra victories
by which ST. Louis is everlastinGly
falling to win championships.
Danforth Case Puzzles.
IL is understood that Danforth is
not for the Browns this year, al
though st. Louis has had no luck
getting him waived out OF the league.
Danforth'S is a most interesting case.
Every manager in the American
League except one who has had him
for a player always is trying TO prove
that Danforth'S delivery is illegal.
Yet the moment a club wishes To pass
him along all the other chaps re-
fuse to give their consent. 1t GER
tainly is a tribute to Danforth's abil-
ity, no matter what else IT may be.
Not only has Schang had expert
ence with three American League
clubs, but he has been Il sturdy
catcher in six world series. He was
with the Athletics. the Red SoX and
the Yankees in world series games.
The knowledge that he possesses of
American League batters may go far
toward developing the best that is IN
the St lyOlliS DitchinC staff.
Sister Is not a pitchers coach. The
kid catcherS of st. Louis are not well
enough informed as to what their
pitchers need to bring them through
successfully. If Schang can impress
some of the knowledge in his wise old
noodle on the younger pitchers and
then, when the weather and the race
begin TO warm up, get in and catch
some games for the Browns. when eX-
perience is needed. he may revolu
tioniZe the team.
Frank Farrell, whose money, with
that of Bill Devery. put the Yankees
into New York, is dead. Farrell never
had much luck in base ball and was
mighty glad to sell the Yanks to the
two colonelS-Ruppert and Huston
for S450,000. Less was transferred in
this sale for the greatest price in the
history of base ball.
Farrell was unfortunate enough to
try to introduce the American League
when the Giants were at the height of
their prosperity in New York and his
ball park was too far from the center
of town to be a drawing card.
His first team might have won a
pennant but for the wild pitch by
Jack Chesbro, but the Highlanders,
as they were called, never had any
luck after that. Farrell never re-
GREETED his venture into base ball,
however. He said he hal had a good
time, but that he knew horses much
better.

After YOU got to know Tins traits
and characteristics. you came to real
ize that he could not be bullied.
Kicking got you nowhere with him.
Here is an incident that will illustrate
what I mean, an incident typical of
Tim:
Detroit and Cleveland We're playing
in Cleveland. When Cleveland came
TO bat in the last half Of the ninth,
Detroit was leading by a 3-to-2 score.
Cleveland got two men on bases with
Two out and Charlie Hickman was
sent to bat for the pitcher. Bill Dono-
van. in the box for Detroit. handed
Hickman Il wide one and then shot a
fast one by him. Hickman ignored
the fast ball and it was a sure strike.
With the count one and one. Dono-
van crossed up Hickman by sending
fast one over the outside corner.
Hickman did not offer. Hurst called it
a strike. Hickman objected. saying:
All Are Strikes.
You dirty stiff. what'd you call
ball like that a strike for? You must
have gone totally blind; you're too
old to see anyway"
Us that so. Charlie?" answered
Tim. I'm blind. am L? I'm too old
to see. am l? Well, I'll tell you,
Charlie, just for that everything he
throws you after this will be a strike
no matter how bad it is"
Charlie Schmidt, who was catching,
took his hint from what Hurst said.
He signaled for a pitchout. Dono.
van looked puzzled, but Schmidt re-
peated the signal for a pitchout.
Donovan pitched the ball one foot
wide of the plate.
Strike three" yelled Tim as loud
as he could yell. Hickman was struck
out and the game was over.
Tim was game to the core. An in
cident happened in Pittsburgh that
brought this out forcibly. He gave a
decision about the seventh inning that
displeased the crowd. Baltimore won
the game and the Pittsburgh rooterS
blamed the defeat on Tins decision.
AS the last out was made, the crowd
SWarmed on the field. The Baltimore
players surrounded Tim and escorted
him to the clubhouse. To reach the
locker rooms you had to 60 up q run
way on the outside of the clubhouse.
The crowd was packed around this
runway and as Tim reached the TOP he
was hit in the chest by brick. Tim
saw the brick leave q mans hand and
without a seconds hesitation he leaped
into the crowd to get the man that
threw it. Tins fists were both swing.
ing. but he was no match for the
crowd He was knocked down, but
before any serious damage could come
TO him, the police rescued Tim, saving
his lie.

Fulton. This list Is not at all i'm

Godfrey made a good showing
against Renault, but Renault has not
turned in one Of his big fights for
nearly a year. If he Is not on the
toboggan 1t is high time he showed
some of that class which he occasion
ally used to flash.
All in all, Dempsey's touting of
League looks to be of the same jocular
category as his praise of Godfrey
If Dempsey really thinks we'll Of
League, IL would be better for the
young man were he TO be turned loose
and permitted TO ply his trade.
The champion is the last person in
