 Here the story further unfolds-.
 CHAPTER XXXTV
 \ Sight of Marta Tennis
 So fast and furious was their love making that when Phil had left Natlee at the door of her aunt's sitting room at the Waldorf on the night of the fourth day he was A. w. o. L.. they had planned to 20 before some judge and be mar r'ed the next morning.
 ''I'll cali for you and we will go and get q license as early as we can." Phil said. T know 1t isn't fair. dear heart, for me to do this thing. You should not let mo make you my wife before l go overseas. but. oh. .Natlee, ] want you sol want you so. know I may be gone for years-that l may never come back but l am selfish enough. my darling. to want to feel that I have left you behind mine-I want to be able to think of you as you are to- night in this little soft white frock. with its foolish little punches Of flowers catching up it's folds-with your arms about my neck and your eyes looking into mine. but l want more than all else to keep picture of you in my memory as my wife"
 Come to me by nine in the Wyrne. and pray God we may have at least one days happi- ness before you leave"
 The next morning. however, Phil vas awakened by the dangling of his telephone bell in his room at the Ritz.
 Taking down the receiver he heard Rods voice. The regimt nt has orders to move. For Ged's sake, get here as soon as possible"
 Hastily he got into his uniform. went back to Camp Merritt and re- ported that he had been A. ". O.. l.. for five days.
 Although everything was In the greatest confusion. Lieutenant Am drews took time to have him court He was fined $50 and reduced to the ranks.
 It was characteristic of him that he took his medicine stoically. say ing to himself that the meeting and understanding with Natlee was worth it. even if that understanding could not be consummated.
 He had no; been able to get word

10 her. although he had telephonet many times. sending her just before they started for the ship 8 wire "Cndying love, Wynne."
 There were very few people a1 the dock from which they embark cd. as all movements of the army were kept as secret as possible. but among the crowd he. at the last moment before they were ordered below. caught sight of his mother tears streaming down her face, frantically wringins her hands and trying to pick him out from those surging against the rail.
 Mother. Mother" he called. all his love and loneliness for her fill- ing his heart at sight of her. Here am. here Is Phil" but she did not hear him.
 "Eyery one below!" was the l command, and he was pushed through the doorway as the uncom- prehendeding liner slipped from the 1 docks and glided to the dark arownish river and turned her long muzzle out to sea.
 Down. down. into the very depths of the ship, he was herded with the others, but the day had been full Of ! excitement and hard work and 1t was over.
 Phil felt som ething go out of him. To his surprise he found he was not able to even be sorry for his moth CT or Natlee, and he never thought of himself except to get into his bunk as soon as possible and drop asleep.
 He hardly sensed the motion of the boat before he sank into ob- livion.
 The next morning as sailor shouted "All out for breakfast" Phillip Wynne Tracy W awakened in a different world from that he had ever known before.
 As he rolled out of his bunk he wondered # all the others of this crowd that was slowly passing up the ladder, laughing, swearing and some of them almost crying. were looking forward to breakfast as de- spairingly as be.
 smells-smells-s The fetid air of below decks. the sickening smell of disinfectant. the odor of dirty bodies as the line slowly passed through the entrance into the mess hall, the stench of burning grease and slimy dishwater. almost seemed more than he could bear. but Phil managed to squeeze in and put his mess kit and cup down on the counter.
 Underdone bacon. bitter marma- Jade. hunks of dry bread were thrown into his mess kit. while hot, weak coffee was stopped equally into his mess cup and over his hand.
 He tried to eat, but 1t wouldn't so down.
 As soon as possible. he stumbled back to his bunk. but was soon call ed out again to hear the captain say that from now on the life pre- servers that were at the head of their hunks must be worn all of the time. and that no one must take off his clothes under any circumstances. You must sleep in your uniforms. men. shoes and all. and if one of you is found without his life pre- server he will be arrested"
 Keeling back into his bunk again. Phillip tried to think of something pleasant-of the beautiful Biltmorc Cascades where they danced last night-of Natlee as she looked in her white chiffon gown with the little punches of flowers looping up the skirt-of the touch of her soft, red mouth. Then he suddenly be- came ashamed of introducing her into memories that had no other re-

 RULES WILL BE CHANGED
NOtrc Dame Coach Dcnounccs "Api. tators Who Are Trying to Alter
 Football,

San Francisco. Jan. 13 LP-knute Rockne. Notre Dame football coach. believes that the proposed two sec- ond halt after the shift will not be established. He denounced "aeitat- ors' who are always trying to change the football rules"
 "1n spite of the recommendation of the Big Ten officials and of many coaches to altet the shift" Rockna said, "1 believe that the rules eom- mittee will take a saner view of the situation.
 "1 have discussed the shift with leading coaches of the country, some of whom are on the rules committee and I feel sure that they will not stand for any such two second halt as has been recommended. Imagine a referee trying to count off the two seconds while the play is going on. guess he would have to carry around an alarm clock, or better still. they might place q pendulum on the scoreboard.
 T have never used the shift 10 gain any unfair advantage over dn
 opponent and it's value lies in the deception it lends.'
 Rockne stopped here two days en route from Honolulu to his home.

ELKy CLARKE IS
 HOPE OF BRITISH
English ElyVei6ht Has Chance to Win Title From Fidel LabaTha

London. Jan. 1S LH - England's best material in the pugilis'ic field centers in the hywcight division. review Of the last twelve months in dicatos, with Ellly Clarke, who i8 now in the United States, topping the list.
 British fans hope Clarke will bring back the title of world champion, which Jimmy Wilde held for time, and the eyes of the boxing world will be focused on his coming meet ing with Fidel la Barha.
 Should he succeed. he will have several good men to meet including A. o. Barber of Brighton. Kid Mich olson, of Leeds and Teddy Baldock, who has spent some time in Ameri ca. The outstanding figures among the continental tlyweights who have fought in England are Francois Moracchini of France and Petit Bi- biquet, the little Belgian tiger"
 Of the featherweights Johnny Curley takes first rank and holds the championship, but is considered likely to meet his match in Johnny Bri,ton of Leeds or Harry Corhctt. Johnny CorDctt of Sheffield also has come on well in recent months. In the bantams there are several good fighters. but none of outstanding merit.
 Tommy Milligan is easily cham pion of iho middlcweights but will shortly mcr. with a good deal of opposition from such fighters as Frank Moody with his American cT- pericnce. Ted Moore. Roland Todd, and Len Harvey of Plymouth. Jack Hood is regarded as being at the top of the wcltcrwciGrts on recent form, but close on his heels arc Ali Mancini, who has done well in America. Harry Mason of Leeds, Joe Rolfe and Johnny Rrown. The heavyweight class progressed the least of any in the last year. Phil Scott. though knocked out Of thr European championship in June by Harry Pcrsson of Sweden, has ~athcred in the title of British cham pion by defeating Frank Goddard. There does not appear to be any oI.a canahle Of beating Scott in Eng land. though experts have marked ont Fr,nl. Fowler of Yorkshire ard Donald Ghortlard of Sheffield as nosycssi'.~ promising form for some future tile.

New Britain herald., 1927-01-13

Chicago. Jan. 13 R-Four addi- tions to baseball's written code, three dealing with betting. and an- other establishing a rule of limita- ton covering alleged baseball of lenses, have been suggested by Com missioner k. M. Landis, incident to his exoneration of 20 baseball play CTS accused of crookedness in games played 10 years ago.
 The commissioner, in offering them, expressed the hope they would be adopted by representatives of ma jor and minor leagues wwho meet next Monday at French Lick Springs. Ind.
 Three of the proposed rules would provide specific punishment for wag- er!ng on games or contributing to or accepting bribe or reward in con- nection with any league game. It by members of the White Sox team of 1917 and it's payment to Detroit Tigers that brought about the in quiry which was closed yesterday by the Landis pronouncement
 One of the three rules suggested would provide a years ineligibility for any player or club management offering or giving any gift or re- ward to the players or management of another club for services ren- dered. or supposed 10 have been rendered in defeating a competing club"
 A years ineligibility also would be the penalty under another rule for betting on any game in which the bettor had no part.
 Permanent ineligibility is the pen alty the commissioner suggested for betting on any game in which the bettor is a player, or in any way connected.
 The fourth suggestion by the con- missioner would write into baseball rules a regulation similar to the sta- tute of limitations familiar in law. Under this rule. alleged offenses in baseball would be outlawed after a prescribed term of years.
 Such q regulation would have made impossible the investigation just closed which dealt almost en- tire|y with games played 10 years ago, and which Ban Johnson prcsi- dent of the American league, said previously had been investigated and disposed of by Landis.
 Swede Risberg, back with his cows on the dairy farm he operates near Rochester, Minn., vouchsafed the information last night that inso- far as the precipitation of any more baseball scandals is concerned. he is through.
 Never again." said Risbers. Tt wouldn't do any good"
 Risberg said ho had expected the decision would white-wash the lilies, as he called the players i'm plcated. but he added; Y told the truth" Risberg's story. corrobor- ated by Chick GaEdl, was that the White Sox pool was paid Detroit for "sloughing" games and not, as the accused players explained, as a re- ward to the Tigers for winning from Boston. the club that was the only menace to the SoX's pennant am bitions in 1917.
 Commissioner I.andis found in the testimony nothing to indicate any criminal intent on the part of any of the players named, but he sharp ly censured them for contributing 10 or accepting q pool, even though it was a reward for excellent perform ancc.
 The commissioner soon will go south, reparatory to his usual swing around the training camps. He has taken no action on the application
