Of the vestibule Norma glimpsed
a shadowy figure.
The girl went forward. you
wanted to see me?" she asked.
There was a light in the hall
way but it glimmered dimly. Nor
ma saw that the stranger was a
large man, stockily built and in
clined to plumpness. Middle-aged.
He wore gray suit and held a
gray felt hat in one hand.
Are you Miss Kent?" he asked.
The tone was crisp, formal.
Eyes"
There was an instant's pause.
The man glanced about, family
ill-at-ease. My name is Trav-
ers," he went on. "F. M. Travers. /"
He produced a card and handed it
to the girl.
There is a matter on which 1
would like to talk to you, Miss Kent.
It iS-of considerable Importance.
Is there some place not quite so
public?"
Norma had been staring at the
card in her hand. Now she stared
at the stranger. But I don't un-
derstand," she began.
The man interrupted.
Il will explain" he said. "I-
as I said 1 have come on a subject
l am sure will interest you. I
think you would prefer to hear
what I have to say in private.
The words had the precise effect
he had expected. I'VE can go up
stairs" Norma said.
The dinner party, the suspended
preparations were forgotten. What
was this terror clutching at Norma s
heart? Her hands were icy, yet
she could feel her temples burning.
Travers he had said his name was.
TraverS!
On the third floor landing Norma
paused. "This is where I live" she
said. will you come in?"
The man followed her into the
living room. In the brighter light
Norma saw that he was handsome.
Older than she had guessed before.
The gray hair was almost white
at either side of his face. His keen
eyes surveyed the room. They were
dark eyes. Brown. They reminded
Norma of some one she knew. They
were like Marks eyes! That was it!
Then this stranger must be-

You mean-Mark? Are you his

iety.
TRAVERS disregarded the ques-
l. tons. A hard CLEAN came in
to his dark eyes.
"You and I can understand each

saying. II don't waste words, Miss
Kent, and I've come here to tell you

do you no good to try to continue
these secret meetings. I tell you

The girl fell back as though at a
blow. Her face was ashen.
"You-you're asking me to stop
seeing him?" The words sounded
far away and strange.
Now, the man was speaking again

WASHINGTON TIMES SPORTS
DETAILS
HALT DRAFT .
ON COAST
By JACK JAMES

LOS ANGELES, Calf, Jan. 8.
Two comparatively unimportant
details today kept the Pacific
Coast League from complete ac-
cord with the two major leagues
on the matter of the universal
draft as directors of the Far
Western circuit gathered at d
hotel to discuss this and other
subjects pertaining to the ma
tional pasttime as practiced in
these parts.
Ready to accept the universal
draft of players from mirror to
major leagues in general princ1-
pie, the Coast League r1agnateS
were baking on two points.
These points of dispute were:
1-Insistence by the Class
AA owners that a young player
picked up in the middle of a
season should not be counted as
having played a full season
with the club when reckoning
up his period of service in rela-
ton to eligibility to draft.
@That a player drafted
from a league of lower clasSifi-
cation by a Class AA league
after that player has had three
years of service in the league
from which he is drafted be
allowed more than one year Of
service in the Glass AA league
before becoming eligible to
Seizure" by a major league
club.
The proposition offered by the
major leagues, which was to
come up for minute scrutiny in
today's meeting, allows a player
to be retained by minor league
club four years before he be-
comes subject to draft by the
majors.
The above is a proposition
over which many arguments
have been held, back and forth,
but eventually the minor
leagues secured that much lee
way from the majors. They are
still satisfied with that leeway,
and are perfectly satisfied with
the draft price offered-$7, 500
instead of $4,000. But they want
those two points of difference
settled in their favor.
Indications today were that
the coast leagues, after thor
oughly airing personal views and
prejudices on the draft in prin'
ciple and practice, would pass q
resolution acceding to the de-
mands Of the two major leagues,
with reservations as noted.

ROSSLYN PLANS
SWEEPSTAKES

Rosslyn steps in the bowling
spotlight soon with a sweep
stakes known as the Potomac
Sweepstakes, an annual affair
looked forward to every year by
bowlers of northern Virginia.
It is the hope of RosSlyn alley
owners to make the event this
year the biggest ever held on the
drives. There will be singles and
doubles events with total pinfaL
determining the winner.
The event is sanctioned by the
Washington City and National
Duckpin Bowling Congress.
Entry fees will be IS for the
singles and 10 Smackers for the
doubles. These fees include bowl
ing. A large entry list is ex-
pected.

Hebrew Interclub All Stars de-
feated the Italian All Stars in
their special match last night.
The five-game totals were Inter
club, 2,853; Italians, 2,847. Tony
Satini, with GIL, and Joe FreSchi,
with 500, led the losers attack.
Joe Pricci came near saving the
day for the Italians when he

Over Michigan Teams
Mental Attitude

Chicago, Nov. 25.--+P)--1f the hand
icappers have the situation figured
correctly, Indianas Hoosiers are a
cinch to win the Big Tens charity
round Robin football tournament
Thursday at Stagg Field.
Chicago and Iowa will meet in the
first two-period match, and on the
basis of previous accomplishment, the
Maroons should win. Chicago has
managed to score at least one touch
down in each of its five conference
games this season, while the HaW-
keyes have failed to cross an opposl-
ton goal line in league competition.

either by scoring or by yardage de-
Cisicn.
If the dope is correct thus far. In
diana and Chicago will tangle IN the
playoff Commute game. They met
several weeks ago and the Maroons
were given their worst beating OF the
season, 80 to 6, leaving Indiana the
handicappers' favorite.

right end, suffered severe burns from
the preparation used to mark the
nlaying field at Iowa last week. Both
will be able to play, but will not be i'll
the best of shape.
Coach Harry Kipke is worrying
about the Michigan squads mental
attitude toward it's game for charity
against Wisconsin. He fears let
down will follow the victory over
Minnesota. ..
Ohio State probably will face Min

Ladoumegue's record mile isn't his

record feats of two native Japanese,
Chuhei Nambui, who broad jumped

honors he achieved at Amsterdam, in
the 1928 Olympics, as the first Japan

Carey Says Garden Officials
Will Not Stage Title
Fight in West

New York, Nov. 25.-(R)-The dis
cussion centered around the possibil-
ity of Max Schmeling, heavyweight
champion, defending his title in Los
Angeles in February against Mickey
Walker, the toy bulldog who has been
biting the ankles of the big fellows.
William F. Carey, president of
Madison Square Garden and pro-
motor of its boxing business from the
time Tex Rickard died until Jimmy
Johnston stepped into the breach,
cleared his throat and announced as
follows:
IF I have anything to say about
that-and it's just possible I will
Madison Square Garden will promote
no fight between Schmeling and
Walker or anyone else in California
this winter"
Mr.. Carey, warmed to his subject.
"They say California IS virgin terri
tory, hasn't had heavyweight cham
pionship fight in many years, and
they think that's an advantage. don't
they? Well. I'm going to tell you
this. Virgin territory is the worst ter
ritory in the world for the promotion
of a heavyweight title fight. We
learned that at Cleveland last sum-
mer when Schmeling fought Strib-
ling.
Heavyweight title fights can be
staged only where there are fight
fans, not just people who might be
interested in spectacle. They must
be fought where the principals are
known, have been seen.

DEMERAY IN HEADLlNER
Cream of North Dakota Fight
ers Scheduled to Appear
on Program

One OF the largest crowds ever to
attend boxing program In Bismarck
Is expected to turn out for the Elks
All-Star fight card to be held at the
city auditorium Thursday night for
the benefit Of the city's poor.
The program is scheduled to start
at p. m.
Promoters said Wednesday that the
caliber Of the fighters slated to ap-
pear together with the fact that the
card was being put on in the interests
of charity was expected to attract
hundreds of fans from Bismarck and
the surrounding territory.
Proceeds from the affair Will be
used to buy coal for deserving poor
families.
Dick Demeray, Aberdeen flash, and
sherald Kennard, rugged Fargo bat
tier, are scheduled to appear on the
headliner. While not exactly q grudge
fight, promoters said, the contest
promises plenty of action. Kennard
recently was given q decision over De-
meray on Fargo card which proved
unpopular with many fans who wit
messed the fight. AS a result De-
meray is said to be in no very aimable
frame OF mind and IS determined to
knock the Fargo man out.
The semi -windup promises to bring
out plenty Of action with Ray Cos
sette of Fargo and Bad Boy Knight
Of Aberdeen as the principals. Both
fighters are hard hitters and on num-
erous occasions have exhibited their
ability to "take it."
Promoters have imported Kid Kra-
mer of York, Sask., to do battle with
Tuffy Mosset of Bismarck. Kramer
has an impressive record and has
looked good in training here. After
watching his opponent in action, Mos
set was reported to have gone into
rigorous training.
Other fights on the card Will fea-
ture Ben Minnish of Aberdeen versus
Jimmy Todd Of Medina and Sonny
Schlosser Of Mandan versus KID
BROKER Of Mandan.
