brief glimpse of Primo Carnera,

meets Neil Clisby, 200-pound

FIGURED
As SPOT
By DAVIS J. WALSH

NEW YORK, April 8.-Con'
trary to what seems to be the
prevailing notion, .Ty Cobb not
only isn't through with baseball
forever and the day following,
but is understood to be consider
ing a return to the game by 1881,
maybe as an owner, possibly as
q manager, but definitely not as
a player. In this respect, he is
through. Ir all others, he
wouldn't argue, resolutely with a
first-class proposition, asking only
to be allowed to start at the top
and work himself up.
First he expects to see Europe
again this summer and absorb
any vulture that Tunney over
looked. Then he means to take
up a residence in California for
what are understood to be "buSi.
ness reasons" The latter sug-
gests a connection in the Pacific
Coast League.
These were CObb's plans a
week ago. He may have
changed his mind in the
meantime. He can't change
nature.
It is Cobb's nature to be briskly
vigorous On clear days, you can
plainly see the mans vigor as it
oozes from his personality and
drips furiously down on his shirt
front. What I mean to say is
that this fellow io full of zest and
also zingo.
He wouldn't stay fixed if you
carefully concealed him in a
straight jacket. and really you
don't keep that kind down on the
farm indefinitely, particularly
when he knows so much baseball
and sincerely loves the thing he
knows.
Cobb has played no baseball
since the close of the 1928 season
and doubtless he wouldn't go
back today to ball play for sew
eral reasons. One of these is that
he doesn't care to and the others
just don't matter. Merely to
keep the record straight, I'll men,
ton one Of them as being the
fact that the money no longer is
there for 43-year.old outfielders
who don't wish to be bothered.
Anyhow. Cobb's price is not less
than 20,000-not because he
must have the money but because
he figures it is worth $40, 900 to
him just to make the effort. He
probably feels the same way about
managing a club and so he is
managing no clubs every "a
hours.
Frankly, I suspect that he
would rather not play ball at all
than play it as the man who
used to be. Even though he still
is hitter and always will be,
there is no great nourishment in
a millionaire chasing around in
the hot sun, trying to lash those
immortal legs to the deeds they
once came by so naturally that
they made the rest of the world
look stodgy and uninspired.
Cobb gave 25 great years
Of baseball. He says these are
enough. I know they are.
His last season with the Ath-
leticS was only an effigy Of
the old Cobb and I think
he was the first to know it.
Anyhow, he seemed glad to get
away from it all last year and
apparently he has left the play.

likely that he is quite so philoso-
phical about his complete isola.

Iron Bars at Window

While this was going on
Robin Dale had walked across
the room and stood near the
single window. He was within
10 feet of all that remained of
Alvin Merle. There was some
thing terrifically morbid about
1t, something which held him
with grim fascination. The eyes
were still open, the lower jaw
sagged as though there was a
gasping for breath; the features
were becoming rigid as though
frozen. The chair in which the
body sat was closely drawn to
the dressing table and Merle
was facing the mirrors. Dale
made a mental note of that;
strange that he should not have
turned when the intruder en-.
tered. Was it true, then, that
the criminal had not entered by
the door? The position of the
body seemed to signify as much.
Robin Dale turned and looked
out of the window. 1t was, as
Jardin had said, closed and
latched on the inside. There
we're iron bars on the ground
floor, with the window on the
alley.
Later Dale made a closer in
spection of the rope about
Merle's neck. It was a sash
from a dressing gown so tightly
drawn that it was embedded in
the flesh. The sash apparently
gave no clue because it was
taken from one of Merle's dress
ing gowns that was still hang
ing on the rack.
Dale curtailed his first exam
intion of the room when
Michael, the doorman, was
brought in by Jardin. Captain
Blake did all the questioning.
"You say Mr.. Merle came into
his dressing room right after the
last act. That was about H."
1.-TWO minutes to IL. sir"
"Who else entered the room
from that time until his body
was discovered?"

ADVICE TO THE LOVELORN

Dear Miss Fairfax:
Married at IS to a moth
er's" boy incapable of earning
a living. Married again at 18
to a good man-and one who
was devoted to his wife and
children; a widow for three
years and yet at the age of
3S a victim of unrequited love
and not judgment enough to
control my own emotions.
Won't you advise me?
About two years ago, still
suffering from the loss of my
husband, I met a man about
10 years my senior. He was all
kindness and attention and
made love to me. Lonesome
and grieving, as I was, his
fondling was like a heavenly
oasis. I was famiShed for
someone to care for me. I
gave him the greatest love Of
my life, more than ever
thought existed in a human
heart, only to find that he
would not declare himself
would not say he cared" Be
cause I saw only heartaches
ahead decided to put him out
of my life, but when I told
him I would not see him again
he beseiged me with letters,
flowers. candy and fruit and
every little attention that he
could show me without actu-
ally being there himself. FL
nally we were going about to-
gether again. Then I left
town for the West and he for
the South. A desire on my
part to end it again made me
keep my whereabouts to my
self but not for long. He sent
kilograms and made long-dis-
tance calls almost daily, con-
tinuing them after I had re-
turned to Washington.
Finally I stopped writing, but
when he comes to the city he
calls to see me for q brief in
terval. For five minutes I am
in his arms as if the weeks and
months had not intervened,
but though he is in town a day
OF two he makes no effort to
spend an evening with me; to
even spend an hour with me
alone and does not even tell
me he is going when he again
leaves the city.

it seemed to Raquel, than they
were off for another. Cut from

you I am not. He is personally
attractive, I admit. And he is
discriminating. He chose you be-
cause you were young, attrac-
tive, responsive, with a generous
capacity for love. You were pre-
cisely the prey he was looking
for-that he and his kind are
perennially looking for. And he
was not pretending. It gave him
great pleasure to make love to
you and to awaken your re-
SponSe. The experiment, from
his point of view, was success
full.
And as for marriage, which
was, you thought, the natural
sequence of that first ardent
love-making - philanderers, my
dear, don't marry. That is, ex-
cept under circumstances of
great advantage to themselves.
There was never at any moment
the faintest chance that your
charming friend would marry a
widow without money and with
several children.
The reason for this. my poor
child, If I read this man Alright,
is that he knows a good many
other women, each one of whom
is forced to accept the degree of
attention that he chooses to Of
fer her and to ask for nothing
more. 1t is barely possible that
such man may already be
married, in which case, HEAVIER
help his wife. But it is much
more likely that he has clung
resolutely to the safe rock of
bachelorhood. So, being care
full, Shrewd, Self-protective, cal
lous, as well as personally agree.
abe-he can play the lover
right and left, year after year,
without incurring a single legal
obligation. He can, in fact,
break a long series of hearts
without paying any penalty
whatever.
You do not really need my
advise, dear j. E. P. You know
quite well that, you must stop
seeing this man and forget him.
And stick to it. Let your pride
and your Self-respect help you.
Don't ever see him again.
Meanwhile, my dear girl,
don't let your children drift
away from you. You will need
each other a'r-~"S and they
ought at this particular crisis to
give you especial Joy and COM
panionship,
