THE waitress brought Farrelps

see It looked appetizing. She ate

Continued questioning drew from
Farrell some OF the details or the
law suit that had brought him a
modest amount Of glory. Launched
on the subject he described curious
angles Of another legal tangle. Nor

Outside on the street Farrell
signaled a cab and helped the girl
into It. She smiled at him as the
taxi moved away.
The driver looked back at his
passenger. Where to, Ma'am?" he
asked.

The driver obeyed instructions.

Bob Smith Faces F Favorite
In Junior Net Play
Zou lust cant keep the Smiths out Of it


For several years Clyde Smith,
the Georgetown ace, has been a
shining star in local Junior ten
mis- circles, last year finishing
runner-up for the District junior
title. This year, however, his light
was douSed in the first round.
But the Smiths prevailed, as
Bob Smith of st. Johns, beat
down opponent after opponent,
until today he meets hickey
Willis, Dewitt ace, in the semi
finals at Rock Creek.
Smiths sweeping 6-1, 81 win
over Dick Brown, Tilden'S D. c..
ball-boy, was fine exhibition of
substantial tennis, and a great
battle is in prospect, as Willis
has been regarded as the probable
titlist.
Three other crack matches are
on the menu, with Gilbert Hunt
and Nathan Ritzenberg Scuffling
for the boys title, and AL Perkins
facing Charlie DAILY in the other
junior semi-final, and Henry
Classic and Joe Deal. He meet
real double opposition in Dick
Brown and Ben Nicholson.
Hunt fiddIed through a 81,
S-6 victory over Pete AIInut, but
he can't afford to do much
fiddling today, as Ritzenberg is
one of those good things that
comes in small packages. Both
kids have thorough knowledge
of tennis and both love it.

Giants Give DOnGhue
observation-disclosures

NEW YORK, June 10.-Pete
Donahue, right.handed pitcher,
today was given his unconditional
release by the New York Giants.
He is now a free agent. Dona-
hue, sent to Minneapolis a few
days ago by the Giants, refused
to report to that club, claiming
he lacked only nine days of hav-
ing served 10 years in major
league baseball, which would pre-
vent the Giants from sending
him to a minor league.
After a conference with Giant
officials, Donahue won his uncon-
ditional release. Donahue was
said to have offers from several
clubs and may remain in major
league ball.
