"Give him thy blade, Polite; must l
waste the evening on a stupid
ladrone?"
Polite, reading my face, found ac-
quiescence there. He drew his sword,
j grasped the point with thumb and
forefinger and, resting the cleaning
steel across his left forearm, extended
the hilt to me. l caught it in eager
fingers, for she had called him "mio";;
and that proprietary "Carisima' of his
had kindled a fire Of senseless jeal-
ousy within me. Polito's weapon bal
anced like feather in my hand; a
Toledo blade, in truth. swung it in
tentative arc, and the air sang be-
meath that blow.
His majesty shrugged out of the
long cape and, point raised, advanced
upon me- Guard" said he.
1 think the kissing cadence of my
sword touched a cord Of cowardice
in his majesty; think he must have
realized that it was not a stupid clod
who stood before him, and I'm sure
such realization added nothing to his
confidence.
''Not so fast, Senor," / cried ''do
you not know that the road to hell is
travelled in haste, while heaven is
reached more slowly?" He swore in
his beard, and l continued: IF I
should hazard guess as to your mas
querade I would say that you are
Charles the Fifth of Spain, noble
king who lived three hundred years
ago; but your actions and your words
belle your regal trappings"
Guard, SenorW he gasped.
Now devil Of impudence perched
upon my tongue: "And your lady
will be the gracious Eleanor, yet love
lier by far than the consort of your
ancient namesake; aye, infinitely more
beautiful than Spain's great queen
herself, the splendid Isabella, whose
| charm has furnished through the cen
turtles the motif for song and story"
HE is mad" she breathed, mad =
And so I was, think.
"Must run you through, dolt?'

HANGING UP GREAT MOUND
 RECORD AT PENN

Philadelphia, May 29.-Pennsyl- vania's championship aspirations in the Eastern Intercollegiate baseball league, will receive reak test next week when two games are scheduled to be played.
 On Monday the return contest with Columbia is listed as a feature of the New York university's annual alumni day. The Gotham team in second plAce. was defeated here II to 0, in the first game of the season.
 The other game is with Princeton, at Tigertown, on Saturday. In the first meeting beyeen the teams, Pennsylvania emefsed victorious IT to 8.
 Man or All Work
 Dr Carriss plans to call on Walter Masters, ace of the pitching staff, to oppose both Columbia and Prince ton. The veteran right handler has scored victories over each team this season. All four league triumphs been scored by Masters.
 To date Masters has compiled one of the greatest three-year pitching records. in Pennsylvania ba seball history, and one of the best of any college hurler in the country. He has been defeated twice in three seasons and has been the victor in twenty two games.
 Barring unforseen circumstances, Masters will be on the mound in two of the remaining league games on the schedule. He will meet Dart mouth in the first game of a double header and will oppose Cornell at Ithaca in a single contest.

BIG SCORES STUD PAROCHIAL GAMES

Overwhelming victories were SCOT ed by St Mary's, Sts Peter and Paul, and Sacred Heart parochial school baseball teams yesterday afternoon in local parks. In all 54 runs, were registered on the strength of 46 hits St Mary's scoring the most impress game over St Margaret's boys at Washington park, while the spirited St Joseph nine from Brooklyn were beaten 10 to by Sts Peter and Paul, Connor allowing the losers four hits. St Thomas array was easy for the Hearts, who won IA to in a game in which ten miscues were made, seven of them by the north end boys.
 Right From the Go
 St Mary's and St Margaret's both started strong scoring and 3 runs in the first inning, but seven run barrage by the champs put the game away in the third; while the opposi- ton was blanked from that point on. Valaitis was banged badly by Jim Murphy's lads in the first three inn ings when ten runs crossed the plate, and though that was the end of their attack, it was five times too good for the Lithuanian boys, who got one in the first and another in the sixth, and that was all. Tied at all to the last inning, the Sacred Heart lads rang up seven more tall lies to outscore the St Thomas outfit two to one. Fielding errors proved the downfall of the Conroy kids, with the game in knot all the way.

PENN CREW PREPS FOR POUCHKEEPSIE
 RACE NEXT WEEK

Philadelphia, May 29.-Rowing activity at the University of Penn sylvania will be at a standstill next week with the exception of a ten mile row Wednesday evening.
 The oarsmen will spend the week taking final examinations in the un- dergraduate schools. The usual ex- animation period occupies two weeks but the necessity of getting at least a week of practice at Poughkeepsie has forced the rowing squad to take all their finals in one week.
 Coach Rusty Callow has requested twenty one varsity and eleven fresh- man oarsmen to report for the one practice next week. From the two squads he will select the men to rep resent Pennsylvania at Pough- keepsie.
 The other crews, including the third varsity, the 150 pound varsity and the freshman lightweights, dis banded last Saturday after the races at Princeton and on the Schuylkill.
 Looking Ahead.
 Present plans call for the rowing squad to leave here next Sunday, bJune for Poughkeepsie, though Callow hopes to be able to leave Sat- urday afternoon if no examinations are scheduled for that day.
 The crews will be quartered at the Films at Highland, just across the river from Poughkeepsie. The oars men will row from the same boat house Pennsylvania has been using for many years. It is located near the Highland railroad station.
 Callow plans to hold two rows each day during the stay at Pough- keepsie, in the morning and in the afternoon. While the crews will have only seven days on which to row before the championship races. Callow believes that his crews will be in good shape for the races.
 Plenty of Practice.
 For the past week Callow has been rowing his crews an average or eight miles each day over the Schuyl- kill. Unfortunately the best straight away distance on the local river is about two miles. The remainder ot the course is around turns.
 Only four men who SSwed at IPoughkeepsie last year aqe expected to be in the varsity and junior var sity shells this year. Dickson l.. Barnhart, who was elected captain of the crews last week, John Cadwala- der, Harry Davis, and J. K. Martin are the only veterans.

To-day will be devoted entirely to the running of qualifying heats with all finals scheduled for tomorrow.
 Those two giants of the Pacific coast, Southern California and stan ford. again are expected to domin- ate the meet and take the team championship west for the tenth time in the last eleven years. South- ern California, with Unbalanced. powerful squad of 21 men, is a heavy favorite to retain the title it won in 1880. The Trojans squad is headed by the flying Frank Wykoff and includes nine of the men who scored points last year at Cambridge.
 A Toss Up?
 Stanford, defeated by U. s. c. in a dual meet by the slim margin of seven points, is rated as the team U. s. c. will have to beat out for the crown.
 Eastern hopes are centered in Lawson Robertson's University Of Pennsylvania outfit headed by that one man track team, Barney Ber-5 finger. The Pennsylvanians however, are entirely too weak in the sprintsE anu nuTuleS 10 De gwen more than an outside chance of victory.
 Several meet records and maybe one or more world marks are certain to fall during the two-day stand of the carnival. Ben Eastman, Stan- ford's bespectacled flyer, who has tied Ted Meredith's time of 0:47.4 in the 440-yard dash, is likely to es- tablish time all his own before beating out such worthies as Vic Williams. national champion from California, and Horace Steel of Pennsylvania.
 Classy Competition
 The same goes for Wykoff in the 100-yard dash. He is favored to win but he may have to establish a. new all-time mark before running Eddie Tolan, Ray Dolby, Frank Lombardi. and other ace sprinters into defeat.
 Ten defending champions are on hand to defend their laurels but only one of them is an almost cer- tain winner, so fast is the field in any and all events. The one man vir- tua1ly sure of his title is Ken Chur- chill of California, the javelin thrower. Churchill has an unofficial toss of 226 feet to his credit this season and as none of his rivals are z00-footers, he would seem to be in a class by himself.

DOCTOR DOOLITTLE MARKED TIP ON
 ENGLISH DERBY
The Favorite, CamerOnian, Brings 4 to 1, But Is Not Getting Much Play
 American Horse Entered
BY TOM CREEDON United Press Staff COrrespOndent)

United Press Stan Correspondent
 London, May 29-(U. P.) TT The 1891 Derby, to be run next Wednes- day at Epson Downs, appeared to- day to be an open race-more so than most derbies, and no colt is ever a standout in the premier event of the turf.
 Interest in the coming derby has been rising steadily all week and will reach it's climax tomorrow, when the tickets are drawn for the $7,500,000 Irish sweepstakes, with some two million ticket holders scat- tered over the world awaiting the result.
 Not Much Work
 John B. Dewar's Cameronian re- mained the betting favorite to-day at odds of 4 to 1, but he has not caught the popular imagination. His chief claim is based on his victory in the two thousand guinesas at New market, although he has not raced since then.
 Among the other 30 three-year- olds still eligible, wide attention has been centered on the Aga Kahn's Pomme D'Api and A. F. Basset's Doctor Doolittle. Pomme D'Api is the only colt to have won a race over the derby distance of a mile and 8 half. In addition, he is reported to have shown superiority in training over his stab1emates, Rustom Pasha, Ut Majeur and Athford, no mean trial horses.
 The Aga Khan won last years derby with Blenheim, although he was the stables second string and Rustom Pasha was heavy favorite. Such a situation will not arise this year, as the Aga Khan has with drawn all his eligibles except Pom me D'Api. The colt has been made second choice in the advance betting at to l.
 Good On Form
 Doctor Doolittle is a pronounced tip, although followers of form need no tip on him. His crushing defeat of Marshall Fields high calss colt Jacopo recently disclosed real run ming thoroughbred. He is third choice at to 1, having dropped two points in the last few days.
 Americas hopes rest on the Mary land Bred Sir Andrew, half-brother of Gallant Fox, which is owned by William Woodward, and Jacopo. The latter, favorite for the derby during the winter, has shown backward condition and the bookmakers hope to profit heavily on the early bets. Sir Andrew is quoted at 20 to i and Jacopo at 25 to l. Sir Andrew has shown sparkling from this year and his numerous following has been delighted by the good odds offered.
 Despite the heavy investment in the Irish and other sweepstakes on the derby bookmakers expected a greater volume of betting than in recent years, because of the increas- ed worldwide interest in the race.

U. s. NETMEN WIN EASILY IN GAMES
 WITH ARCENTINES

Washington, May 29.-(UP)-The American zone finals of Davis Cup tennis play went into their second day at the Chevy Chase Country club to-day. With two singles matches already won, the United States team was the favorite to win over Argen- tina in the doubles.
 Frank x. Shields and Sidney Wood, Jr, who won in the singles, will play Lucilo Castillo and Adriano Kappa. The doubles selections came as a sur- prise to those who expected Clifford Sutter and Gregory Mangin to rel . resent the United States. It also was thought Ronaldo Boyd, ranking Ar genuine player, would play with Kappa instead of Castillo.
 Dope Upset.
 It was learned, however, that Cap tain Edwin French was displeased with Boyd's work yesterday when he lost in straight sets to Wood. The Argentines had figured the powerful red-haired -Irishman would have little trouble with his smaller opponent.
 . Woods impressive victory in the singles made him an overnight choice to play in the doubles. Both he and Shields showed rare form when they defeated Boyd and Guillermo Rob- son.
 An American victory to-day will assure trip abroad to compete with the winner of the European zone fin" a1ists.

WILEY TAKES EXTRA INNING GAME FROM
 NAUCATUCK NINE
Lee Boys Play AnsOnia To- Crosby Loses to Roxbury, But Tie for the League Lead

According to popular legend, the much read about Frank Merriwell, champion of the younger set was not twins, but his spirit and deeds were reflected from the bats of Jimmy Crichton and Danny Briotti. Wilby High school infielders, who won the game for Wilby in the tenth inning yesterday. Bringing to al close one of the most thrilling con- tests of interscholastic record locally.
 In the Pinch
 To be more specific, it was Crich- tons home run in the ninth with two on, and Briotti's belt in the first extra inning that sent Pete Foley and his boys back to Naugatuck talking to themselves. Imagine coming from behind a three run handicap in the ninth inning, tieing the score, holding the opposition down to nothing in the tenth and then winning out by an 8 to 2 count. That's what happened yes- terday at Hamilton park and 1t gave est thrills, while mentor Foley of Naugy suffered from something acutely akin to delierium tremens.
 One Bad Inning
 Red-haired Sonny Connell, on the peak for Wilby flattened Naugy like steamroller until the fatal ninth. Following an argument with the umpire and another with the Naugatuck catcher, Cornell got a bit unnerved and was promptly pasted all over the diamond in the ninth, for five runs which put the game on ice for Naugy. That is, un- til Jimmy Crichton came to bat in Wilby's half of the final. He ne nf cIyxy,e ell dropped just inside the foul line of left field, and sent two runs around ahead of his homer, to tie the count. That was the spark that. set the Wilby spirit aflame and, with bats in hand and bloody eyes they came to the plate in the tenth, swinging viciously. Briotti turned the trick with a belt that sent Day in with the ball game. Coffey smacked out four safe ones out of five, while Butler hit three times in five shots. Minnucci hit hard for Naugatuck.
 NOn-League Game
 Seven runs in the seventh and eighth innings sewed up the game hire yesterday afternoon. The Scho- field array also held slugfest of their own in the eighth and ninth but when all the outs were made, Crosby was two, runs short and the game ended 10 to 8 in favor of Ed die Hart's hopefuls. Up to the seventh it was nip and tuck all the way but five run smudge in the eighth lost the game for Ike Kern and his help. Lukachik of Roxbury hit hard while Farley, Di Napon, Burke and Harnick smacked out doubles.
 Two for One
 Torrington had no trouble defeat ing Ansonia High yesterday in the Copper City. All of Americas SCOT ing was confined to the fifth inning, when they counted five times, Tor rington won 10 to scoring in six of the nine innings.

Blood and Thunder

DAUOu anu 4nuAANACE
 If you happen to like boxing, and have seen Freddy Freeman or Kid Hershey or both of them throw leather gloves, nothing but tidal wave will keep you away this eve ming, when Watertown's acquatic ace and the local candy kid meet on the mat, in what promises to be a WOW of a grappling number, limited to 15 minutes and no holds barred. You might possibly have wondered why Freddy took so many black swan dives to the canvas, but now the se- cret is out. Frederick always want ed to be wrestler in the first place, and that's why he always stayed as close to the mat as possible, box ing or no boxing. The only reason Hershey's in there is to prove to the be-goggled Freeman that he can beat him at anything from throwing deuces and threes to buck and wing specialties.
