H. H. WHEELER IS
 TOURNEY WINNER
Has Best Selected Nine Of 29
 at Shuttle Meadow Club

H. H. Wheeler came through Sat- urday at the Shuttle Meadow club to
 score the best selected nine in the weekly tournament. He turned in a ! card of 29 and was awarded the prize of thermos bottle. This hap pened to be the first tournament that MT. Wheeler has even won, but in so doing. though he does not count himself & boy in his teens. he made the kids" all step and showed them all some tricks of golf ing in high wind that they may use when they reach the maturer years.
 Mr. Wheeler's winning card was as follows: 422 433 434-29.
 Very few cards were turned in Saturday because the scores are thought to have been outlandish. This. however, can be explained by the fact that on the sheltered first was going fine but on the upper nine, they encountered a regular gale and the high winds carried the capricious balls everywhere but to the right spot. Score after score that held worlds of promise was spoiled on the upper course.
 The tournament opened with the largest entry list in the history of the club. Al members engaging in the competition. It was no little feat for MT. Wheeler to come through ill the style that he did because the best marksmen in the club were hammering away at his mark all morning and afternoon.
 Next Saturday the event will be match play against par with a full handicap allowed.
 Card of Ringers
 Starting April 30 and playing through November 1. ringers will be passed in an attempt to fill out card. The player has to go full IS holes and have the card duly sign- cd and attested to by some other member of the foursome. While | few birdies have already been SCOT ed and chalked up on the card, not few of them were turned in yesterday. The scores yesterday showed that the men who turned in the birdie marks, were playing the holes as they should instead of go- ing all over the lot. The longest way round is the sweetest way home" everywhere but on the golf course.
 Course damned Sunday
 The course was literally damned with players Sunday. It was a per feet morning for golf with no wind | blowing on either end of the course and some pretty low scores were | turned in. No eagles have as yet | been registered. Yesterdays play l showed that the players must have | had good holes Saturday because l the usual Swearing off" after a bad l go, was not in evidence yesterday.
 The women seemed to have the l upper hand yesterday all around 1 especially in the foursome in which ! Mrs. P. R. Stanley and Mrs. Charles Parsons were giving their husbands

GLOOMY TIME FOR
 COBB AT DETROIT
Suspension and Injury Mars
 Return to City Of Star Player

Chicago. May 3 R - Ty Cobb $
 triumphal return ruesday to De- troit where for . fifth of . cen- tury he wrote records In the base ball books. seemed destined today to be as gloomy as the dead march in "Saul.'
 With the governor of Michigan
 and tho mayor Of Detroit. to say nothing of an elaborate fan banquet
 and a gift automobile. ready and
 waiting to make the occasion not able. the Georgia Jewel remained
 today under league suspension for
 his altercation last week with the fiery former marine, Umpire Emmet
 (Red) Ormsby. at Philadelphia.
 Adding to Tvs troubles was a strained tendon. an injury that fol- lowed a slide into second during an exhibition game at Buffalo.
 Ban Johnson. back at the Amer ican League steering wheel after months of absence. let 1t be known that he regarded cobb's offense at Philadelphia as . particularly seri- ous one. Umpire Ormsby reported to President Johnson that Cobb showed him around after Ormsby had ruled that . ball hit over the fence was foul. Showing umplres around. Johnson said. Is no trifling matter.
 The fact that Cobb apologized Is neither here nor there. according to the league head. because the dam- age had been done and the crowd of 5000 had been aroused 50 that Ormsby had to have a police escort to get of the field in safety.
 Cobb's only hope that tho suspen- sion will be lifted lies in the report to the league of Connie Mack, man. ager of the Athletics, President Johnson said. The clubs side of the controversy may clarify the sit uation. 1t was indicated.
 Meanwhile the Detroiters have telegraphed Johnson with pleas that the suspension be lifted. All tickets to Tuesdays game have been sold for week past. Except for an opening or a Sunday game. such a seat sale virtually is without prece- dent in Detroit. Heretofore Babe Ruth has been the single travelling attraction sufficiently compelling to create exceptional weekday interest there.
 At previous testimonial banquet to Cobb. sponsored by Mayor John w. Smith at a time when Cobb still was manager of the Detroit Tigers. he was presented by the city with a grandfather's clock. The city t. self sponsored that affair. taking the stand that Cobb. with the single ex- ception of Henry Ford. had done more to broadcast the city's name han any other individual.
 There is nothing to prevent Cobb's in the planned festivi- ;ies. as the jurisdiction of the league president starts only with the um- ,ire's Play ball." The Detroit fans. however, do not enthuse over the dOa Of paying elaborate homage to heir favorite. only to have him breed to leave the field without ,hance to demonstrate at bat and lfield his appreciation.

A Sudden Question
s'How would you like to be
Cords leading woman in his next
picture?" Roy asked suddenly,
and she all but jumped out of her
chair.
His leading woman?" she
gasped. She couldn't believe her
ears. It seemed impossible that
less than three weeks ago she had
been selling books at $21 q week,
and that now she was to be De-
Lancy Cords leading woman!
"Oh, Roy, you don't mean it?"
she gulped after a dazed minute
or two. do you think I'm good
enough?'
The corners of his mouth turned
down and he pulled at the visor
OF the old brown cap ne seldom
took off his head.
81 wouldn't ask you If you
wanted the part If / didn't think
you could get away with it," he
said dryly. TITS not exactly a
Sarah Bernhard part anyway.
You're a ballet dancer. All you
have to do is to watch your step
and look pretty"
Boobies dazzled eyes went to
Gus, and he nodded.
All right. Roy" she said faint.
~. And when she left that office
ten minutes later she had signed
on the dotted line for $3.50 a week
to be Delaney Cords leading
woman in 1.-THE King"
Gus followed her out the room.
In the hall, dim and deserted at
this hour OF the day, he gripped
her by both arms and turned her
so that she faced him.

that L "a make something out of

while she was wondering what he
meant. he went on:

that part with Cord
Then his hands dropped from
her arms. and he ran down the
stairs as If he wanted to let his
words sink into her mind.
They did sink in. They sank
in so deeply that she. couldn't
get them out of her mind all
during the long walk home
through the clean. damp spring
air.
She went on thinking about
them as she climbed the stairs to
her little blue.green room with its
crisp white curtains and its
poisoning scarlet geraniums.
Why had Gus "bullied' Roy
Schultz into giving her good
part and $3.50 week? Why, in
the first place, had he walked
into the book store three weeks
ago and given her the chorus girl
vamp part in Luxury" himself?
why should he bother about
