Scorned Suitor Sues
Maid for Ring, but
Jury Says It's Hers
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, March
23.-Giving a girl a diamond ring
was sufficient to suggest wedding
bells in the now more or less old
fashioned days of the silent
drama"
But in law, diamond ring is
just gift, more expensive per-
haps, but otherwise differing not
at all from a box of flowers or
candy.
A jury so decided here in the
suit of M. F. Tyre. IS, to recover
a ring from young woman. He
said 1t was an engagement ring,
but she testified that nothing was
said about an engagement, and
that she accepted the ring as a
gift.
The jury said she can keep it.

is not to answer questions but to put
them fairly" summed up the writer.
Interspersed with humor which
sparkled unexpectedly through his most
serious thoughts. Mr.. Wilder charmed
his audience quite as much with his
colorful language as with the wisdom of
his thoughts on literature and its place
In human life. His most quotable SEN
tence on this subject. and the one that
every thinking person perhaps carried
home with him, was in regard to the
everyday reading of the average man.
I'VE should all have in our library or
in our possession" said Mr. Wilder,
"two book lists-one of the books we
should read at our first opportunity.
and the other of books we should read
at our best opportunity. The first,
need not say. should contain the books
OF the moment-books we wish to Pc

We wish to absorb-the literature Of

| FRAUD IS DENIED
Trial OF Five Men Reaches
Summation Stage in
Federal Court.
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, March 2s.--John G. and
Herbert T. Locke and three associates,
who are on trial on charges of using
the mails to defraud in an alleged S.
100000 copper stock swindle, yesterday
heard themselves described as men of
vision by defense counsel as their case
reached the summation stage in Fed
eral court.
John B. Wright, a Tuczon, Ariz.. at
torney, told the jury that the Canario
Copper Co. mines were all that the de-
PENDANTS claimed them to be in litera-
ture sent to prospective stockholders.
| Attacking the testimony Of John w.
Finch, Government mine expert. who
had said the Canario ore was OF poor
quality, the attorney said that Finch
had not inspected the mines thoroughly
He said the defendants had acted
merely on their vision of the mines
possibilities and were guilty OF no
offense.
walter Godfrey, chief of defense
counsel, said the defendants had fol-
lowed the approved Wall Street methods
in marketing their securities.
The defense had rested earlier in the
day. Neither of the Locke brothers was
called to testify. George F. Shurtleff,
their brother -in-law and co-defendant,
was the last witness.
Summations were expected to be con-
tinued today.

The French open in 1920 and

laugh off record like that.
The pros are sticking together.
That is, they all hope a pro
wins. A pro just naturally
doesn't like to see such a valua-
BILE title 20 to an amateur.
Aleck Smith, however, is an
exception among his fellow pros.
He is quite outspoken in pick
ing Bobby Jones to win. He
believes the Winged Foot course
is made to order for Jones and
that the Southerner has timed
his preparation so nicely that
he will enter the open in the
best possible physical and men
tai condition.
An odd thing about the ma
tional open golf championship
is that the home club pro, Mike
Brady, failed to qualify. and will
not be a contestant. This is the
third time a similar circum-
stance has occurred in this Jclas-
sic. George Sargent failed to
qualify at Columbia and Willie
Ogg was a by-stander at Wor-
cester.
Incidentally Mike Brady thinks
the world of Horton Smith, pro-
rouncing him the greatest pro-
fessional prospect this country
ever had. Mike has made a
wager Horton will beat out
Jones or any other outstanding
favorite.
The Winged Foot course is
not the difficult or eccentric
layout that many of its geo.
graphers have described. There
seems to be nothing unusual
about the course which would
favor one man against another.
Like any other championship
course, it will require distance
and direction in ones long game
and fine touch on the greens.

RUTH CALLS
SIMMONS
STAR
By Babe Ruth

PHILADELPHIA, June q.
The most improved hitter in
the big leagues today is Al
Simmons, of the Athletics. And
e you want to know the big
gest reason for the Athletics
being out front in the pennant
race, AL is it.
And while I'm on tn esubject let
ne say. here that the Athletics have
4 Great ball club. We hayen's yet
a1veu up hope Of overtaking them
and winning the pennant.
You know / played in the league
wtaau the old AS were stu gong
rood and while I'll get a lot OF
arguments on the subject think
the present Athletic team is just
rs powerful and good a. the old
AS. OF course they haven't the
same polish that the old club had,
but they have a lot Of other things
that the old club didn't have. For
one thing they've got a lot more
punch. Collins, Baker, McInnis and
Barry could smack that ball pretty
well-but F'oxx, Simmons, Coch.
rane and Miller can and do smack
at harder.
Grove ana Walherg and Earn
shaw haven't the pitching cunning
and knowledge that Combs and
Bender and Plank had-not by a
long, long ways. But they've got
more natural stuff. II Grove had
Bender's or Plapk's noodle with
his arm he wouldn't lose a game
in q blue moon. CochranA Is a
better catcher than Lapp or any Of
the other old Athletic receivers and
Foxx at first base will develop into
: greater ball player than McInnis
ever was.
Naturally Bishop, while he's
good second baseman, can't compare
70 Collins and Joe Boley Is no Jack
Barry either. Nor is Jimmy Dykes
a. second Frank Baker. You don't
eyer find many infields to compare
with that one Connie had Is years
hSo..
The present Athletic Outfield
with Simmons, Haas and Miller
ID lot stronger both In the
field and At bat than the old
Athletic Outfield. Amos Strunk
was the only one Of the old out
Sit, In my opinion, who could
compare with the present gang.
And there wasn't . man on the
old club who had the class Of
Al SinlmOns-or for that matter
I Of Mule Haas.
Now about weaknesses. There's
that little weakness on the left side
0f the infield that I've already men
tioned. Then there's q weakness in
reserve strength, too. Take any CT
the present regulars out Of there and
Connie would be in q bad way. Who
would replace Foxx for instance, or
Simmons or Haas? Or for that mat.
ter who could step into Max Bishops
shoes if he was to get hurt?
One other weakness too. The
punch Of the club il tremendous but
L Is all centered in two or three
men. Stop Cochrane, Foxx and Sim
mons and you've got the AS licked.
