She sat in the first-base box at every game,
and she went around pretty regularly with
Skeets Heating.
Skeets was crazy about Mile, but he hadn't
the nerve to ask her the big question until he'd
made star out of himself.
Fog Horn fell for Mile like the walls of
Jericho, and one day his big blue roadster
pulled out of the ball yard with Mile aboard.
Partridge swears that he sat about six tables
from Fog Horn and Mile that evening at the
Pink Parrot, and that above the orchestra and
the clinking of set-ups he could hear the Fog
Horn booming out, yeah, Mile, yeah-I got
stuff, havel How do you like my fast one?"
Nobody could figure out why a swell girl
like Mile should waste her time on big wind
mill like Fenton. But gradually 1t came out.
Skeets had had a row with her over that first
time she went out with Fenton, and she'd read
him the declaration of independence.
Fog Horn sweed up like an early season

The Blue Sox were right up there in the
race all the way, and in August along came
their chance to take first place from the Bears.
One day in the locker room the boys were
taking their time dressing, as it was plenty hot.

WOULD SNAP PEAK
 25O MILES AWAY
Army Pier Seeks to Break Dis. tance Photography Mark

Wright Field, Dayton, O., March A UP - Taking apicture of d mountain 25o miles distant is the next goal of Capt. A. W. Steven. of the army air corps, holder of the record distaHce shot of 227 miles.
 Captain Stevens says the at- tempt probably will be made in June with some towering peak Of the Rockies as the camera. objcc- tive, and a seat in an airplane two or three miles aloft carrying the camera.
 The peak at which he shoots" probably will be invisible to the eye, the big camera being pointed by calculation much as big gun is handled.
 The 227-mile record was made last fall. 1nfra red rays, half heat and half light penetrated to the cameras lens and outlined clearly the distant objective, which was Mt. Ranier, Wash.
 lhC plCluIt " "d5 ldhcll "lllt Captain Stevens was 17,000 feet above point near the middle of the state of Oregon.
 June and December are the best months for such pictures, says Cap tain Stevens. He doubts that pic. lures can be taken from distance beyond 250 miles because. of the earth's curavture.
 The army cameraman suspects | however. that there may be suffi l cient curvature of light ray. l through the bending powers Of the atmosphere to give perhaps ar 'inkling' of objects short dis. tance beyond and below the hori 1 zon.
 Special plates to be used ol Stevens next attempt are being prepared. Lieut.. John Corkville i who has been pilot on previous dis tance-shooting' expeditions, may b' assigned for the flights.

Court Procedure Affects Nerves
 Of Indian Woman at Murder Trial

" Courthouse, Buffalo, N. r, March z4 (UP)-The slow, careful court procedure of a civilization about which she knows almost nothing be- gan to affect Lila Jimerson's nerves today at the start of the second week or her trial on a charge of killing Mrs. Clothilde Marchand.
 The 35-year- old Seneca woman, ' who all her life has depended on the ouija board and the magic of the Indians for justice lost her com- posture for the first time today. Here . 1ofore she has been stoical as coun- sel struggled to get 12 jurors but today she sat nervously tapping her feet On the floor and eagerly scan- |. ming the face of each talesman.
 One Juror Excused
 One juror was excused this morn Ing in this trial that promises to develop into an exposition of the Wltchcraft of the Senecas, who live up in the hills on the Cattaraugus reservation. He was Clarence M. Sloan, juror No. 4, who obtained his release after telling the court a rela- tive was critically ill., That left only eight men in the jury box
 Fred A. Ireland of Buffalo was &C., cepted to fill Sloan's seat.
 The Jlmerson woman is jointly in- d1cted with Mrs. Nancy Bowen, an aged squaw. The state, in demand ing the death penalty for Miss Jim e erson, contends she was infatuated with Mrs. Marchand's husband Henri, wax-work artist for whom she had posed frequently.
 Hopes to Prove Plot
 The district attorney will seek to prove that Miss Jimerson began 6 calculated campaign to inflame the mind of Mrs. Bowen against Mrs aMarchand. Witchcraft, it is alleged played an important part with Miss Jimerson urging the superstitious old squaw to kill Mrs. Marchand Mrs. Bowen will be tried at the con- clusion of the Jimerson case on the specific charge that she beat Mrs Marchand witha hammer purchased sin a ten store.
