0SSIE HAS
LEAD ON
KAN||N
BY Louis A. Dougher

What American League quarter
makes the greatest ground cover
ing infield? This is of consuming
interest to managers and owners
and scouts, though OF a bit less to
the idle-thinking fan.
You've read recently that Joe
Judge led all the firstsackers, that
Buckley Harris was the best seconu
basen1an. that Willie Kamm was the
fielding gem at third and that
Joe Sewell was the prince of short.
feeders. But were they the great
est ground coverers? Not so you'd
notice it.
The four infielders covering the
most ground in the American
league during 1927 follow: Lou
Cehrig. first base; Charlie Geh-
ringer. second base; Ossie Bluege,
third base, and Mark koenig, short
stop.
Years and years ago, after
his pitching days were done,
Dave FOutz became a first
sacker and he long led the Ma
fionaI League first baseman IN
fielding. But the joke is that
Dave never tried for q thrown
or batted ball that wasn't right
II him. He let the others go
by and thus saved his record.

John Blick is running true to
form. Hes last. The sports mag
nate, who is the only participant not
a star, entered with the object OF
being MOI last.
"Ill be satisfied If / beat any
body" declared this humble pin
shooter. amid shower of razzber-
ries. At that Freddie Moore is only
two pins ahead of him. Last year
Blick was exactly one stick ahead
of Joe Harrison at the finish.
Sizing up the situation, with all
due respect to everybody in the
Sweepstakes the winner is among
those first eight and none should be
classed as a really heavy favorite.

It was not WoIstenholme's desire
to lead the opening set. He
likes to let others carry the burden
of pace.setting until the critical
time. Old Reliable Glenn hopes to
he among the first five and within
striking distance of the leader when
the second set is finished. That
was the campaign he mapped last
year and he carried it through In
perfect style.
The showing of Max Rosenberg
was disappointing to his many adj
mirers. in view of the 81, 900 chal-
ienge he flung several weeks ago
at Wolstenholme and the heavy
scores he has been shooting in in
dependent matches. Rosenberg Is

hope to overtake Megaw, who is 1OS
pins ahead of him.
However, Rosenberg is not re-
garded as particularly strong
bowler in tournament competition.
His forte is singles. in which there
is no wait between boxes. His
match with Wolstenholme has been
tabled until March.

MOCK MARRIAGE TO
 SATISFY FRIENDS
Disappointed Couple However,
 Are Really Wed Later

New York, Jan. 17 P-Patrick Kearney. playwright, and Miss Elza- beth Russell, artists model. were re- vealed today to have gone through a mock marriage ceremony rather than disappoint assembled guests when Miss Russell was refused a license because she could not prove she was 20. .......
 The couple yesterday obtained a license when Miss Russell produced an affidavit signed by her mother and they lated were married by a civil ceremony.
 The mock marriage took place at Kearney's apartment last Thursday, and was described by Earl Simmons, also a playwright, as carried out despite the lack of a license in order not to disappoint Otto H. Kahn. Eugene O'Neill, Floyd Dell, Horace Liveright and other guests.
 Imagine" said Simmons, ''invit- ing Otto Kahn to a wedding and then having no wedding. We simply had to stage a wedding, so we got Lewis Browne, an author who formerly was a rabbi, to agree to go through the form of ceremony. None of the guests were aware of the fact that the wedding wasn't strictly bona fide. Horace Liveright acted as best man. Floyd Dell read a lot of poetry or something and fine time was had by all"
 MT. Kearney, who is 34 years old dramatized Theodore Dreiser's "American Tragedy" It is his third marriage. Miss Russell also had been married previously. The couple met at a party on New Years day.

hos bsea watting for tAs return c hee sweetheast-the young maA, whe dresssd h bright blue. with . elanking sword and : carsfree langh, hasef har Uoe1by that sum- msr uight tn 1881 and rods off tt the head ef his company te join McClsslAa's army h Virginia He nsvsr cane back. Hs never was heard of again. But FanAy RsaA had promised to wait fse him: and che has kept her prom iss. She. hal refused to lsavs the buiiding for . moment-fer her lieutenant might return. at any time. and 1t wouldn't do to be away when he cane back. The people of Hancock never zee Fanny ReAd. Lights are never visible in the deserted old tavern at night. Only one thing proves that she is still alive-an aged woman servant comes every day to care for her.
 Before the Civil war the tavern. known as the American house. was the social center of this part of the state. And Fanny Read. the inn keepers daughter. was the belle of the countryside.
 A few very old residents of Han cock can remember her as she was in thoss days. There was dark curl that hung on . white shoulder. There usually was . red rose in her hair. There was always . smtls on her face. m eager. provocative twinkle in her eyes. Fanny Read en- joyed life hugely then. and knew that romance would surely come to her very soon.
 It came-with the war. The 101st New York infantry, mobilixing upstate, camped in Han cock for . few days on its way south. The townspeople made much of the soldiers. There were parties, banquets. dances. socials in their honor.
 The crowning event was the ball given in the American house the night tho soldiers marched away. And 1t was at this ball that Lieu tenant Bellows. tall young infantry officer. and Fanny Read pledged their troth.
 Their pledge was a kiss. They stood on the wide veranda, be- tween the tall pillars-gleaming white then. though blackened now by smoke and dust. The ball was over: one by one. the men were say ing their goodbys. The young lieu tenant bent over the girl on the veranda. ..
 I'm coming back for you." he said.
 You'll find me waiting" said the girl.
 The two kissed, while the August moon hung over the tree tops. Then the bugles rapped out their sharp calls, the company fell in and the young lieutenant rode away.
 That was the parting. and the be- ginning of Fanny Reads imprison- ment.
 The first three weeks of her im- priSonment were not voluntary. &C., cording to tradition. Her father, 1t iA said infuriated at the announce ment of her engagement, locked her

in her room, with tAs caIaan4 "Yss're tso young-yos wait!" S Then. when he relented. shs con- tinued to wait. She has been out of tho biilding oaly twics snes then: . few yaars later. when her father died. and in 1881. when her mother dfsd. The rest q the tias shs has spent within the walls of the old tavsrn.
 Not of the time. according to the woman who cares for her. Fanny Read piays on the spinst. ones iu . while ahs attempts to dng tho ed love songs that abe sang to the young lieutenant But not often.
 But stil she waits. Still she be- lievss that her lieutenant will return some day: so she stays in the tavern aways. lest he come back and fail to find her. .-.s#
 And Lieutenant Beilows?
 Looking h tho Files
 No ono knows. War department records a& washington show that . Lieutenant George c. Bellows. of the 101st New York infantry. retired from tho service in 1S63. In 1917 his widow. a Chicago woman. ap- piled for a pension. but she died be- fore her claim could be granted.
 Whether that George Bellows was Fanny Reads lieutenant no one knows. Perhaps he was. Or perhaps Fanny Reads lieutenant left his bones in the underbrush at Charlottesville. or on the high slopes at Fredericksburg. No one can tell.
 And 1t doesn't really matter. Fanny Read is sure that he is com ing back. She will bs surs of 1t until the day of her death.
