MEMPHIS, Tenn, Dec. 24.-Pres-
ident John d. Martin announced
tonight that Southern baseball
league directors will meet here Mon
day to consider reducing the as
ISOLATION to six clubs.
President Tom Watkins of the
Memphis Chicks requested the
meeting, Martin said, and all club
owners have been notified. Little
Rock and Mobile probably would be
dropped, if the six-club circuit were
adopted, it was indicated. The
Mobile franchise was transferred to
Knoxville, but financing arrange
ments failed, though Knoxville
sponsors still hope to secure a
Southern League club. The Little

lists left Athens on Dec. II. Since
then, they have Travelled $50 miles,
played six basketball games and,
sthey claim, had a good time.
Four victories were turned in by
the Hornets before they reached
Indiana. Tuesday nights loss was
their second in as many tries in the
Hoosier state. Today's jump to La
fayette is short one, giving the
athletes more time to rest, and if
they can muster enough speed they
may break into the win column

tonight, they will slip down to Mar

Texans wear rests on a worthy

Their offense is built on speed
and there's no speed in heavy legs.
They break fast from the back
court and dribble and pass down
the floor for short one-hand stabs
at the hoop.
During Tuesdays contest, the
Athenians aimed thirty-two times
at the hoop and connected on eight

demonstrates who had the ball most

happened if the other guys had had

CHICAGO, Oct. 22.-It was

Mayerle approached his home,
walking and alone. The street was
dimly lighted. 1t was cold.
He complied quickly when a
man stepped into his path, point
a gun at him and ordered him to
put up his hands.
The robbers hands trembled as
he reached into Mayerle's coat
pocket and withdrew a wallet.
Mayerle spoke to him.
There's $35 in the wallet" he
said. Its my weeks pay. If you
take it all it's going to be pretty
hard on the wife and kids. Could
you let me have part of it backP"
The bandits hand trembled
more violently.
"ThiS-thiS is all new to me-" he
stammered. i've got wife, too.

can't find a job. We've got no

I'll take $40 and give you back the

Maybe" Mayerle told the ban
dit, as he returned the $25 to his
pocket; eff you'll put that gun
away we can talk a little. I've
still got a job, and maybe 1 can
help you out"
The man, still trembling and
thoroughly ashamed, gave his
name and address and agreed to
meet Mayerle the next day.
They met as agreed. Having in
veStigated and learned the truth
of the amateur holdup mans sto-
~, Mayerle then told the truth
himself-that he is wealthy
manufacturing jeweler.
Mayerle had the mans sick
wife taken to a hospital, bought
food and coal for the family and
raised a fund among his friends
to aid them further. Today he
was looking for a permanent job
for the man.
