CLEVELAND, Feb. 9-This may be the day of youth in so far as sportive competition is concerned, but scattered here and there along the right of way are several veteran campaigners who are still clinging gallantly to the exacting pace.
 In billiards, Willie Hoppe must be reckoned with the games top most opponents. Hoppe at a2 obviously is slipping and conse- quently doesn't command quita the respect he knew in other days. but the one-time boy wonder" is still good enough to rank pretty close to Schaefer and Cochran, the outstanding 1S.2 pastimers Moreover. Hoppe of late has mas tered the difficult three-cushion game c...' is now capable of holti- ing his own with most of the leaders.
 In boxing. Jack Britton. former welterweight monarch, has been staging a fairly successful come- back during the last few months. Jack entered the professional ring in 1904, ere some of the present leading pugilists were out of their swaddling clothes, and except fo- brief period has been appearing regularly ever since.
 Britton at AZ is the oldest ac- tive ringster in the racket today He's one of the few to win back a championship after once losing it. Jack never has been knocked out, another record only a small number can claim.
 In baseball, there's old Jack Quinn. Old Jack has been in the majors off and on since 1904 Quinn is 41. But he's still pretty good at fooling batters with his varied assortment of stuff. He had one of his best years with the Athletics last season. Quinn was twice turned back to the minors and over one stretch was out of fast time six campaigns.
 In bowling, Jimmy Smith, gen erally recognized as the king of them all, has been moving down the pins almost day and night for the last 27 years. Smith is 45, but he still makes tour of the country each year meeting the leading maple maulers at every stop-over. Smith always is in shape and has hardly known a sick day during his long regime on the alleys.
 In wrestling, we find Stanislaus Zbyzsko still rated with the big timers despite the fact he's passed his fiftieth milestone. Less than three years ago zibby held the worlds championship, tossing Wayne Mum a few months after the young Nebraska giant had caused more or less of a sensa- tion by hurling Strangler Lewis out of Kansas City ring.
 In women's tennis, Mrs. May Sutton Bundy can still play a corking good game. Mrs. Sutton must be around the 40-year fig ure. As May Sutton she won the

THE EVENING STORY

"Blanch," said 1, taking the bull by
the horns. firmly. Helen of Troy
couldn't have held husband with
chocolate cellars. It's as true as the
fact that all men are at heart Nor
mons: that the way to their heart is
through their StomachS. Now I'll
wager that Henry isn't staying down
town tonight on business. He's Just
getting a square meal somewhere,
maybe with some vamp-"
Blanch looked at me coldly.
Peter isn't the kind to take his
stenographer out to meals" she said
drawing herself up. He hasn't gone
that far"
IF he hasn't he will" / told her
grimly. Men are all alike. Suppose
we play detective and find out Not
that Peter wants to be unfaithful, but
well-you've got to feed a man. That's
a biological fact. And when you don't,
why, they just naturally gravitate
toward the forbidden cooky jar"
Il wonder if you're right" MUIR
INJURED Blanch waveringly. Suddenly
she ran to the closet and flung on a
hat. Come on" she said to me tense
ly. Hes always talking about Hattie
Kings restaurant. If you're sure about
if he's there"
Put on an old rancoat," directed,
land an old hat. We don't want him
to recognize us. Wen just drift in and
ask for a sandwich and coffee and then
We'll see what we can see"
So we set out. l will admit that Hat
tie Kings restaurant looked inviting on
that cold, drilling afternoon 1t was
honey and cheerful looking. and the
windows had watermelon pink check
Bingham curtains. There was a deli
ciouS S. ell of hot gingerbread in the air
that reminded me of mothers kitchen
when / was little girl We sat down
at back table close to curtain that
shut of the rear.
And would you believe it, when this
Hattie King parted the curtain to take
our order, who should be sitting before
little round table set for two. but
Peter! Blanche saw him and half start
ed up. but 1 stepped on her foot under
the table. Hattie King brought us our
coffee and gingerbread. and then she
went back, and we heard them talking.
Peters voice was low. but Hattie King S
was loud enough for us to hear if we
listened. 1t was a comfortable voice
deep and rich and motherly.
Take another hunk of gingerbread
do" she urged. There's plenty more
where that come from. And now what s
this about you and your wife quarreling
and she leaving you?" She gave low,
bubbling laugh Huh, didn't I sense
that you wasn't hittin' it off the min
ute you come into my place? Can't fool
Hattie King"
why, the great big vamp." calculated
Blanch. shes leading him on!"
But I strained my ears while Peter
muttered something away down in his
throat.
We'll. you come to the right place,
Boy, you sure did" Again that throaty
chuckle. She means all right but she s
young and she don't know men. OF
course you're crazy about her. but you
don't gibe. And she can't cook"
I'm starving to death" groaned
Peter. He rose from the table and took
out an old pipe. Mind if 1 smoke? OF
