For a minute it seemed to Sally

dering why Bean was packing a
suitcase in the middle of the night
Where was he going? Why
was he getting ready to leave the
house like thief in the night?
Like a flash the answer wrote
itself across Sally's quick brain:
"Money,-It's because of money!"
She knew Beau and his great weak
ness.
Then, like flash she was in the
room, bending over him. At the
light touch on his shoulder he
jumped as if he had been shot, and
turned quickly.
Her whisper was hardly moro
than a quick breath: Come here"
Without sound she was out of
the bedroom, across the hall and the
dark dining room. She could hear
him padding close behind her as
she CROPPED for the switch in the
living room to turn on the lights.
They flashed up. and she faced
Beau tonscly. Her lips opened
stiffly. not to ask question, but to
state 2Iact.
"Beau, you've taken some more
money. Tell me how much"
It seemed to her that she had known
for weeks that this would happen.
She was not like a girl of 90 in
that moment. She was 4 woman
with a woman's knowledge looking
out of her blue eyes with their
heavy shading of lashes.
But Beau wouldn't meet her look.
His eyes went from one corner Of
the room TO the other - from Il
floor to tic ceiling Finally he just
flicked her, with that shifty gaze Of
his.
"What do You mean, more mon

''Why. those bad checks you gave

low he could forget them. when

"Oh. those" His voice was sul';y.

They were nothing-I'd have paid
them off myself if you hadn't

TWILIGHT team
MEET SOLDIERS
IN SUNDAY GAME

A picked team from the Twilight
league will face the First Battalion
25th infantry team in the first game
of a double header at the ball park
Sunday afternoon, the game being
called at 1:30 p. m. The second
game of the afternoon will be be-
tween, the White SoX and Nacozarl.
Both games should be closely con-
tested 1t is said that the Nacozari
nine is the fastest in northern Mex
leo and several old time stars are
in the lineup The White Sox will
play about the same lineup as was
used list Sunday against the army
team. The army team has a galaxy
of stars, both at fielding and with
the willow and are a hard team to
beat.
The White Sox-N -Nacozari game
should get under way at p, m.
While not all the players have
been selected that will compose the
Twilight league team, it is conceded
that Gotta and Molino will form the
battery, with Cary and Ruterman tc
assist in the pitching department,
While not pitching, Ruterman will
play In the outfield.
Austin will play first, LauX, second;
Miller third; McRae, shortstop;
Peryra, left field; Rubio, center field,
and either Rubio or Amaya in right
field. Dawson, Pinon, Puzzi, Gardner,
hyatt, Maza and several others may
also play a part OF the game. Critch-
ley, Loretto academy star, may also
have call behind the bat or ir
the field as his work with the willow
is needed to bring victory.
A definite lineup will be an
nounced in Sunday mornings paper,
There will be plenty of action at
the ball park beginning at 1:30
p. m.
Arrangements are now pending with
the Bisbee Mule Mountain cham
pions and a series will be played
with them in the very near future.

DEMPSEY WILL
FIGHT TUNNEY
SEPTEMBER z

NEW YORK, Aug. P-Jack
Dempsey will battle Gene Tunney
for the heavyweight championship
in Chicago on the night of Septem-
Der %, Tex Rickard announced late
today.
The final difficulty in the path
of the match was cleared away by
a telegram from Dempsey specifying
the former titleholder's preference for
that date rather than September Is.
While agreeing to every other pro-
vision, the former titleholder had
insisted he would not be ready Tor
the fray before September % due to
the illness of his wife, Estelle Taylor.
and would prefer an even later date.
On receipt of the wire, Rickard
Immediately declared the new date
satisfactory. The promoter announced
that Dempsey would leave Los
Angeles for Chicago August IS to
start training at camp yet to be
selected.
Shortly after arriving here from
Chicago this morning, Rickard dis
closed that the Tunney-Dempsey
match will be the last world heavy
weight championship fight he will
stage outside of New York.
"Next year at this time" he said,
New York will have the finest out
door stadium in the world, especially
constructed to give every spectator
clear view of fights or any other
outdoor sport It will hold more
people than either the mammoth
Philadelphia or sChicago arenas.
have already secured financial back
ing.
Never again will I hold a cham
pionship or other big match in a
ball park The seating arrangements
at the Yankee stadium, where Demp-.
sey fought Jack Sharkey, were un-
satisfactory. I never. have received
so many complaints before and people
who had seen every bout I've staged
told me they would never come tc
a ball park for another fight"
The advance sale for the fight
in Chicago is close to the $1,OO0,OOQ
mark already, Rickard said. The
"house" will hit $2,OOO,OOO easily"
he believes, and he even thinks it
possible that the 100000 capacity OF
the municipal stadium will not be
sufficient to hold the crowd.

SOUTH AFRICA

WASHINGTON (F9-Great Britains
family of nations carries the family
resemblance to its flags-that is, to
most of them. Among the major
members of the commonwealth of ma
tions only the Irish Free State does
not make use of the empire flag as it's
union, the National Geographic society
points out.
The British flag, the "great union"
grew by degrees as Scotland and ire
land were added to the original Eng
land. It now combines three crosses
the English cross of st. George, the
Scotch cross of st. Andrew and the
Irish cross of ST. Patrick
The original English flag was the
upright red cross of st. George on q
white field This red cross is reputed
to have been adopted by the English
during the Crusades because OF mi
raculous help extended by st. George.
BY the fourteenth century every Eng
lish soldier wore it as a badge over his
armor. 1t was still the flag OF Eng
land when Elizabeths great seamen
traded, explored and fought under it.
The X-like white cross of ST. An
drew was known in Scotland before the
tenth century. AS it took form in the
Scotch flag it was displayed on blue
ground.
st. Patrick's cross is also X-shaped,
as distinguished from the English up
right cross. Like the latter, however,
it is red on a white ground.
When the three flags were combined
into the great union" the blue field
Of Scotlands flag became the main
field for the combined crosses. Scot
lands white cross is the widest Of the
three. Over it lies a narrow red cross
of Ireland The English cross lies
over the other two and is therefore
the outermost and most conspicuous
of the three crosses. 1t has band of

white outside the edges of the red, as
a vestige Of the white field.
In the Canadian flag the field is
blue On this, occupying the entire
upper left quarter of the flag, is the
British union. In the middle of the
right half of the flag, the fly end, is
the escutcheon of Canada, composed
Of the shields of the four original prov
inceS.
The Australian flag follows the same
color scheme as that of Canada. AS in
the latter, the British flag forms the
union occupying the upper left quar-
ter. Beneath the union is single
great white star, and in the fly end
five small white stars appear repre-
senting the constellation OF the South
ern Cross.
A blue field and the usual British
union form the flag Of New Zealand.
In place of the white stars of the
Australian flag it bears four large red
stars on the fly end set to form the
four points of a conventional diamond
design.
The flag of the Irish Free State has
broken away entirely from British ira
ditions. 1t does not use the British
union nor even the cross of st. Pat
rick 1t is simple tri-color with Ver-
tical bars like the French flag. It's
colors, however, are green, white and
yellow.
The present flag Of South Africa is
similar to that of Canada. 1t consists
of a blue field with the British union
occupying the upper left quarter, and
on the fly end an escutcheon with four
symbols, one each for Cape Colony
aNtal, Orange Free State and the
Transvaal.
Much agitation for new flag has
developed in South Africa. The eX-
tremists wish, like Ireland, to discard
the British union. The latest proposal

by scoring in the first inning. The
Senators came back, however, to tie
the score in the second and to run
in five scores in the fourth inning.
They held the Bull Dodgers scoreless
the remainder of the game.
The. second game Of the afternoon
was a walkaway for the Cubs. But
the Wild Cats showed themselves
sports by playing through the entire
game, without complaint from any
one of them. They proved they we're
not afraid to get beaten in a clean
game of sport
Kenneth Adamson went on a bat
ting rampage, getting single, a
double and q triple in four times
up. The Wild Cats used four pitch
ers in an effort to stop the Cubs,
but they would not be denied and
ran wild on the bases. Vickers
pitched a steady game for the Cubs,
keeping the Wild Cats well in hand
and the hits scattered. He received
excellent support from his teammates.

ALL STARS TAKE
SPEED DEMONS
INFAST GAME

The All Stars jumped from third
place to tie for first place by
winning their game from the Speed
Demons yesterday afternoon in q
hotly contested game, the final score
being to 3. The All Stars held
a two run lead in the final innings
and it proved to be enough as Gotta
strengthened in the pinches.
The Speed Demons took an early
lead in the second inning when after
two were out Hiatt hit safely and
came all the way around on McRaes
circuit wallop, which went far out
of Rubio's reach in center field. The
All Stars came back in their hall OF
the third and scored once when
Peryra doubled to left, stole third
and scored on Amaya's sacrifice lily
to left.
The All Stars came back in the
fourth and scored another run, knot
ting the score and in the fifth went
into a 80 lead. This lead, however,
proved only a spur to the Speed
Demons who fought back furiously and
scored a run to tie the, count at
5 ALL
Except for a bad break the score
might have been tied to the close
but with q runner on second Peryra
rolled a slow hopper to McRae who
threw to Gardner at third trying to
nab the runner. The throw was late
and both runners were safe. Peryra
kept going to second and drew the
throw from Gardner to Petit. Petit
dropped the ball and Pinon scored
from third, Peryra was perched at
third when Seeley threw late to Nc
2 Rae who covered the base. With the
count two and one on the batter,
Peryra stole home, with the fifth and
winning run.
The Demons tried valiantly to stage
a comeback but fell short as high
flies we're nabbed by the outfielders.
Cary tWirled good ball and should
have Jared better except that erratic
support gave the winners three runs,
which should have been cut off early
in the game. Both teams earned
two runs. The base running of Per.
yra was a feature of the game Gotta
and Cary pitched on even terms most
of the way.
AS a result of the victory the All
Stars are in a tie with the Swastikas
and the Speed Demons dropped to
third place. The SWastikas play the
Yanks today and should go into the
lead again with but one game to play
to close the season The Swastikas
have a chance to win the penant
if they can win both of their re-
naming games, today and Saturday.
The Speed Demons won their last
start against the Swastikas to 2
and should turn the tables again
thereby giving triple tie with the
Yanlls in the ruck.
The Yanks may surprise the Swas-
tikas today and should they win the
Swastkas will be in a tie for. second
placeswith the All Stars on top. Ruter-
man will twirl for the SWastikas and
Hall will be on the mound for the
Yanks. The game begins at $50

tiles within the empire. The prince
described these communities as equal.
in status and marked by common
allegiance to the crown.
There was a moment of deep emo.
ton shown among the hearers of
Englands ambassador of good will''
as he said:
ITO me in particular, as the kings
oldest son, the conception has a
special Importance, which, in what
ever part of the empire 1 may be
/ try always to keep in mind. The
crown stands above all distinctions
Of country, race and party, and
serves to mark the unity in which
all such differences are transdscend-
ent.
IF some day it should fall to
my lot to assume that high respon-
sibility, I trust may be found
worthy of it."
The prince emphasized the desir-
ability of personal contact OF peoples
from widely separated parts OF the
empire the frequent conferences
among leaders in the various walks
of life Canadians he met in Lon
don, he declared, kept "him abreast
with development in this great
country which is SO bewilderingly
swift" He added that at least he
had lost no opportunity Of keeping
fresh those contacts which he had
made in the past ten years with ali
parts of the British empire.
81 have heard it said" continued
the prime minister, land said on
very high authority, that Canada
needed no such charter of nation
hood, because she possessed it al
ready.
He said that he would not venture
opinion on such point, which is one
on which Canada alone can pro-
nounce, but other countries within
the empire found help in the state
ment of their position.
"We are a practical people" he
said, "and, granted that our status
is clear, what we all want to know
is how best we can carry on the
every day work OF running not only
our own countries but the British
empire"
Mr.. Baldwin dealt with the work
Of the imperial conference in London
last year. He said that what it did
was to define in phrase the living
relationship of all parts of the Brit
ish empire to one another, and to
begin to work out the practical ap-
plications of that relationship The
formula, he said, is founded on the
equality of status of all the self
governing parts of the empire, and
the unity of the whole empire under
the British crown. ""
