Pitt Occupies Rightful Golf
Place as Champion
Harry G. Pitt the Manor club expert today occupies h
rightfnl place among District golfers-the champion


After striving unsuccessfully for
six or seven years, Pitts efforts
bore fruit when he was crowned
local king after scoring a total
of 3O2 strokes for the 72-hole
medal play competition over the
par 72 Burning Tree course.
Pitt led the field with ISL for
the first SO holes on Thursday
and duplicated this total yester'
day in the concluding SO holes
The 3O2 was a maSterful piece
of golfing in view Of the exces'
sive heat of the past two days
that cooked contestants and spec
tators alike.
Roger Peacock, of Argyle Coun.
try Club and District Junior golf
champion, placed second to Pitt
with BOT, while John c. Shorey
finished third with a total of
313. w. Brown CurtiSs, left
handler of Indian Spring, was
fourth with 80.
Peacock gave Pitt . stub
born battle for the premier
hOnOrS, while ShOrey eliminated
himself from the contender
class when he took 100 for his
first 36 holes, though he came
through with 153 yesterday.
The new champion started the
afternoon round of 18 holes yes
terday four strokes up on the
Argyle flash, Pitt having 225 for
54 holes, while Peacock had
taken 229 strokes for the same
distance.
Cuts Lead to Stroke
Peacock, undismayed by Pitts
lead, went after the Manorite in
determined fashion and had
hewed this lead to one stroke
after five holes were played. He
might have evened the score on
the fifth hole but blew a short
putt for a par 4, Pitt taking a 6
his worst performance in the en-
tire SO holes.
The crushing blow to Peacock's
hopes came on the short par 8
eighth hole where Pitt ran down
a 40-foot putt for a birdie 2
From that point in, Pitt was un
beatable, though he three-putteo
the ninth, as did Roger.
Pitt strOked his way over
those final nine holes in q
blistering SO, even par, to close
out Peacock, although the latter
clung grimly to Pitt until the fif-
teenth where Harry increased
his lead to three strokes as the
result of a birdie 3.
1t was Pitts spectacular putting
from the sixth hole on as vel
as his recoverieS from bad spots
in the rough that enabled him
to win. He was off color in hi
driving, his hooks and slices
placing him in constant trouble
However, Peacock's putting touch
failed him at critical moments

DOUGHNUTS ARE - ? T-f
 BETTER IF COOKED
 A FEW AT A TIME
Likewise Coffee Has More Delicious Flavor When
 Roasted in Small Lots

Experience shows that if too many doughnuts are put into the hot fat at once, the cooking process is hindered. The temperature of the fat is reduced and the dough- nuts become greasy.
 A similar situation occurs when coffee is roasted in bulk. It is diffi- cult to apply the heat evenly, and as a result some of the coffee berries may be overdone and some underdone. Such variation in the roast causes disappointing varia- tion in flavor.
 Hills Bros. overcame this by in- venting and patenting a process Controlled Roasting-that roasts every coffee berry evenly. With automatic control of heat and speed of operation, a few pounds at a time pass through the roasters. Uniformity of roast and unequaled flavor is the result.
 ! Hills Bros. Coffee is always fresh when you buy it because it is packed in vacuum. This process takes air, which destroys the flavor of coffee, from the can and keeps it out. Coffee will not stay fresh in or dinary cans, even if air-tight. Gro cers everywhere sell Hills Bros. Coffee. Ask for it by name and look for the Arab on the can.

DOUGLAS NEVIS
FOURTH TILT BETWEEN
 HI CAGERS TONIGHT

Most of the Douglas school and a crowd of local fans are expected to take in the fourth game of the inter-school basketball game of the Channel series to be played in the Juneau high school gymna- sium this evening.
 Most of the excitement of the events this evening will be con- rected with the girls game as the seasons championship between the fair teams is still to be settled. Tonight will settle it if Douglas wins. If the Hilltoppers win an- other game will be necessary.
 Although the Island boys lowered the boom on Juneau's hopes to win the series last Friday, nsverthe- less an exciting exhibition is prom ised between them in their game tonight.
 A special ferry will leave Doug las at 7:30 o'clock this evening.

whisper. Arnold Kronberg was just here. Yes. You see could not help it. And there s something else that may be more important" Without comment as to its meaning, she told him of the postcard and that Kronberg had seen it.
 Don't let it worry you" Jimmy answered. By the way ran into Gluck. I think he'll be dropping in. Tell him about the doctor. That ought to tickle him.
 What about Kronberg's sug- gestion?"
 Nix on that!' he vetoed. Well, I've got to run along. I'll be sec ing you"
 He had hardly hung up when the office announced Doctor Saun- ders. A few minutes later, she gave him her hand as he introduced himself.
 50, he observed with a whim- sical smile, your mask is more than a fignent of the announcer's imagination. I rather wondered just how true these stories about you were"
 From the way he spoke, Aileen was convinced that he had no sus- picion of the masks real purpose.
 "Oh, yes" she answered lightly. You see I am a mystery. and it's really quite amusing, being one, I mean"
 Tt must be-" He smiled. Most people are so transparent. It's rath- CT intriguing to meet someone who stirs the imagination. You see, I've been trying to picture you ever since I heard your voice. Only somehow, I expected-to see you face to face"
 Perhaps I'm more appealing as a mystery" she suggested. But speaking Of voices, I know what you mean. When I first spoke to you over the wire, I'd an idea what you would be like And am F" he inquired.
 "Almost-exactly, she told him. But it doesn't always work that way I've often listened to singers over the radio. Then, sometimes, when I've met them, they didn't fit my pictures. Perhaps that's be- cause all voices sound different on the air.
 Really? That's very interesting ? I've never been in a studio" Then you must come sometime , T should like to- he assured her. ITO me there is something marvellous in what radio may be- . come. AS a physician, I can see ar :. even greater mission that it may fulfill. Today, it not only brings us great, but mediocre music. But :, the air is already creating it's oWr I artists and composers.

Chapter 26
TWO VISITORS

As Arnold Kronberg entered, AL leen was certain of only one thing. Whoever Adrasteia might be, she knew the former Miss Santa Claus and the mystery lady of the mask were one and the same person. That meant Adrasteia was aware that she was Aileen Gray. It also meant that the sender linked All leen with the shooting of the man who was handing his hat and stick to Nora Nolan.
 His manner was perfect as he bowed and thanked her for her kindness in permitting him to come.
 T flatter myself that Mademoi- selle may know something of me, :" he said. "As it happens, my theatre for the new form of cinema opens a week from tonight. Ma turally it is my desire to make this a gala occasion. Mademoiselle, of course, has the English?"
 
 He was almost apologetic as he put that question. It gave Aileen start. How simply he might have trapped her-and might even do so yet, if she was not careful.
 My theatres murals are from the brush of an artist friend of yours. Perhaps MT. Charming has told you I tried to reach him by phone today, but it seems he IS out of town"
 If that was true, Aileen did not know it. She wondered whether this excuse for coming to her di- rectiy was a deliberate falsehood T wanted to ask MT Charming whether he and his model would not be my guests that evening You have seen the girl perhapsi Exquisite and charming!"
 Aileen only shrugged.
 But to my mission" he wen on Hearing you sing this after noon gave me a great inspiration Mademoiselle is new to the radlt and my theatre to the public What a wonderful combination l you would sing for me that night A broadcast hook-up could be ar ranged, and it would result il notices of advantage to us both.

 That gave Aileen loophole. '' am afraid my contract with MI Gluck would prevent my doin that. You see he has retained m as an exclusive feature

 What a wonderful thought!' Aileen exclaimed You really must see the station"
 And perhaps be hailed as a lunaticr' Doctor Saunders laughed. "Still, my dream is no more fanci- ful than radio itself would have been two decades ago. When I see the marvellous effect of radio on my patients, it naturally appeals to me as a medium that may pos sess curative powers we doctors have never yet conceived"
 You really believe that possi- ble?" Aileen was impressed.
 Perhaps. Who knows?" He smiled. But let's forget my visions, and talk about yourself. You are wonderfully generous to offer to come and sing for us. And I know you'll love my kiddies-just as they'll love you
 "Tell me about them!"
 As Doctor Saunders continued, Aileen was so fascinated that an hour passed before either of them became aware of it. Then the ar rival of Emile Gluck awakened them to time.
 You two must know each oth- er!" Aileen was elated as she pre- scented them. T want Doctor Saun- ders to tell you what he's been telling me And I want to go to his hospital to sing for his little patients. You won't object, I'm surel"
 Why should I?" said Gluck. T met Jimmy Crane, and he told me about your offer. Perfectly all right with me. Emile Gluck & Cie. might even make a donation. How's that appeal to you?"
 "Perfect!" Aileen was delighted. She was in such marvellous spirits that all at once she dreaded being left alone. Cant you both stay here and dine with me? I should love to have you"
 T was hoping I'd be asked" Gluck winked at the doctor.
 And I should like nothing bet ter" Saunders accepted gladly. This masked lady appealed to him, not solely because of her interest in all that he had said, but because of something else-something as yet so subtle that he could not de- fine it.

the telephone to hear a hysterical
feminine voice which she recog-
ntzed as Mrs. Carey's.
What's happened?" Norma cried
"Oh, what is it?"
Mrs. Carey tried to explain. No

thing was wrong, however. Her
words turned into meaningless glib
berish. Norma strained to hear

She was gone like a flash, down
stairs and into taxicab, urging the
driver to go faster. After what
seemed endless minutes of agony
they reached the apartment.
Norma ran upstairs and flung
back the door. Mrs. Carey met her,
white-faced.
