Mary sat in her apartment
one morning and gazed out of

Beautiful" responded the de-
tective. But there's a patrol
wagon in front of the building
that's even nicer. Come along
with me-"
Mary had little ride.
In due time, Mary sat in a
crowded courtroom and heard
everything that was going on.
Terrible things were happen
ing. The man was accused of
stealing any number of articles.
When they put her on the
stand, Mary was very angry.
Promises to Wait
Hes the very incest man in
the world" she cried, land you
have no right to say anything
mean about him. He's really
a producer of big plays and he
has so much on his mind. You
just leave him alone"
But the judge must have been
a very unkind man because he
wouldn't listen to Mary at all.
Mary's ring was taken, her
apartment was ordered seized
and the man was given 10
years in Jail.
Just before they led the man
away, Mary rushed up to him.
She threw her arms around
his neck.

brokenly. How can they take
you away from me like this?
What's going to become of the

GIRL OLYMPIC STAR
CRITICALLY INJURED
Betty Robinson Falls 400 Feet in
Plane With Cousin-May
Never Run Again.
BY the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, June 2e.-Betty Robin
son, winner of the 100-meter dash for
women in the 1928 Olympic. today lay
critically injured-her athletic career
probably shattered by an airplane &C
cident.
The 1e-year-old Northwestern Uni
verSity student yesterday suffered in
juries that at first were believed fatal
when a plane in which she was riding
fell from about 400 fest. The plane
was piloted by her cousin, Wilson Pal
mer. who also was critically injured.
Miss Robinson suffered fractures OF
her left leg, left arm, right hip and
possibly a skull fracture. An X-ray
ing to determine if she had been in
ternally injured She was Semi-con-
scious at midnight.
The accident occurred over an aban-
donsd airport and was witnessed by
parents of both victims OF the tragedy
Palmer, who had purchased the airplane
in partnership with Harold Brown and
Peter Adanski. had attended an aviation
school and received a license. They
attained an altitude of about 400 feet
when the motor apparently stalled.
Palmer attempted to right the plane,
but failed, and it fell. He did. how
ever, shut off the ignition, which prob
ably kept the plane from burning.
Miss Robinson became member OF
the 1928 women's Olympic team when
she was only Is years old. She had
made sensational marks as a member
of the Illinois Women's Athletic Club
and in the international games won the
United States first track victory. She
set a world womens record for 100
meters at II seconds and retained it
until she was beaten by Stella Walsh
at Dallas. Tex. a year ago. Miss Walsh
set new mark. and Miss Robinson
had been training under Coach Frank
Hill of Northwestern to attempt to re-
gain the title and record in the wona-
ems A. A. U. championships at Jersey
City next month.
Physicians at the Oak Forest In
Urinary, where she was taken after the
accident, said her condition was crit
ical, but they believed she would re-
cover. They indicated she never would
be able to run again.

The natural impulse of the ave-

is to throw to the plate, stopping
the run. If he does this the run

enough before he is put out to en-
able the runner on first to reach
third and the batter to go to second
base. and only one man has been
retired instead of two.
With two men out. of course.
