Mona stretched her arms again and took indifferent stock of her. self in the mirror. She had become used to the pleasant report that Sl1irror gave.
 Taere were those who wondered why, with such figure, such creamy skin, such .gray-green eyes and miraculous bronze hair, Mona had not followed her first job as errand girl and later model at Pii- grinis with a stage affiliation.
 It was true that Mona had had several such offers but she had re- jected them all. To marry a stage electrician (more chorus girls did, you know, than landed million aires) had no part in Mona Moran's plans.
 So she had taken job as recep- tion!st for the exclusive law. firm of Garretson, Lawton and Ames- bury.

people. Along the important motor
roads throughout the forests, camp
ing grounds have been established.
These grounds are improved as rap
idly as funds will permit by in
stalling campfire places, water sys-
TENS and sanitary conveniences.
Modern, efficient camping equip
ment, together with good automo-
biles, faultless highways and the re-
sources of these forests, combine to
give the vacationist all that can be
desired in an enjoyable and econon-
ical vacation.
That motor camping is yearly in
creasing in popularity is the be-
lief of L. L. Odle, local manager of
the Western Auto Supply Company
1--WE believe that the summer vaca-
ton period this year will find more
motor campers on the road than for
many seasons past, says Mr.. Odle.
"The western Auto Supply Com
pany is aiding vacationists to eco
nomically complete their camping
outfits in their n1id-season camp
goods sale which is now in effect.
This sale offers many useful articles
of camping equipment at prices
much lower than the regular low

HERO OR CLOWN?

Out of the excitement and the
hubbub of the Democratic national
convention Alfred E. Smith, the hap

a somewhat unfavorable light.

Roosevelt candidacy vigorously, he

derstand what he has done?

Has the man who spent a life
time learning the ropes of the polit-
ical game suddenly lost his cunning?
Has he forgotten the wisdom gained
in watching the results of a thous-
and elections?
Political authorities stated from
the beginning Of the present cam
paign, nay, since the election four
years ago, that Smith had no chance
again to carry the banner of the
Democratic party. Did Smith not
know this?
Has Smith, behind the scenes,
been bigger than any who walked
out upon the stage or has he, like
to other men at other times, lost
his perspective and at the same
time, all chance for higness.
It will be unknown until Smith,
or those close within his councils,
break the silence which has sur
rounded the Roosevelt-Smith break

TURNER CARDS
ADDED BOUT

Not satisfied with offering his
clients a stellar wrestling attrac-
ton of five bouts tomorrow
night at the Clark Griffith
Stadium and also admitting ladies
free with escorts, Promoter Joe
Turner has added another match
to the program.
1t will be a preliminary affair
between Jerry Monaghan. from
Reno, Nevada and Mike Walker,
from Seattle, Wash. They will
open the festivities at $50
o'clock.
Promoter Turner, however, has
been compelled to make a substi-
tuition, Marshall Blackstock re-
placing Chief White Feather. who
was scheduled to face Rudy
Dusek. 1t seems the chief has
an infected hand, the outgrowth
of his match with Fred Grob-
mier here last night The Indian
injured his hand by striking the
ring post after one of his right
hand punches had missed Grob-
mier by inches.
The main attraction will be the
return scrap between Jimmy
Londos and Fred Grobmier
Many local fans maintain that
Londos was extremely fortunate
to win their first match. They
point out that the ropes saved
Londos several times, especially
when the ever-popular Grobmier
had wrapped his "hook scissors"
about the champions mid-section.
Those fearless gladiators,
George zaharias and Frank
BrunoWicz, are down for an argu.
ment that should be much more
than a hair-pulling affair. These
boys quench their thirst with
gasoline.
Besides, there will be engage
ments between Jim McMillen
and Pat O'Shocker and Gino

The dining car food chest was

218 chickens, 1900 pints of
milk, 200 quarts Of cream and
400 pounds of sugar, among
other things to eat and drink,

The athletes are carrying their

This matter of food and drink

GR|FFS DISPLAY
BAT PUNCH
BY GARRETT WATERS,
Times staff Correspondent


CLEVELAND, Ohio, June %.
Changes in line-ups help big
league teams out of the throes Of
Slumps. The Griffmen discovered
this during the past two days.
They've won two ball games by
this medium and ball games won
mean plenty with both Cleveland
and Detroit eager to cut in on
the Griffs for that third place
berth.
The Griffs made it two straight
over the Indians by winning
again yesterday, to 3. Most of
the credit Of course must go to
Lefty Brown, who pitched splen,
didly until the eighth inning, but
that changed lineup had much
to do with it.
Score Five Runs
Particularly was this the case
in the first part of the eighth
when Johnson's gang scored five
runs. Myer, Manush, Cronin
Reynolds and Spencer collected
hits in this frame, while West
received walk, 8lueg drove over
a run with a fielder's choice
and Brown squeezed another
across with a tantalizing bunt
down the first base line.
This inning actually won the
game for the Griffs, as the In
dians staged a scoring bee of
their own in the last part of
the eighth. It was here that
Brown had to be withdrawn.
1t was really not because
Brown weakened so much. but be
cause Dick Porter, Indian right
fielder. hit Lefty Lloyd on the
knee with prodigious drive
which Brownie knocked down in
time to throw Porter out al
first.
FirpO To Rescue

Indian runs had been scored or

ing and keeping the Indians a.

NOTHING GRLFFS CAN DO ABC
MUST REMAIN
UNSOLVED
PUZZLE
BY BABE RUTH

ST. LOUIS, June 22.-Well, I
guess there is nothing that those
Washington Senators can do
about it. They have had another
fling at the st. Louis Browns and
came away from the scene Of bat
tie with little but bruises to show
for it. You will recall that the
Browns dropped into washington
about the middle of last month
while Johnson'S team was in first
place and also on a winning
streak. The Browns swept the Sc
rieS of four games, knocked the
Senators out Of the lead and they
have never been able to get back
in first place.
Just a few days ago the Sena-
tors dropped off in st. Louis for
a four-game series and we're just
bit more successful. They man
aged to win one of the four
one victory in eight starts is
merely another chapter of story
that is new to baseball-Wash-
ington's ineffectiveness against
the st. Louis Browns. There is
no way to explain it and that is
why I am referr'"g to it again,
UnSOlved Puzzle
1t must remain one of the un-
solved puzzles, because an way
baseball is figured that Washing
to1- club is stronger than the
Browns. The standing of the
clubs means nothing when the
Senators and Browns clash.
I note, too. that the Giants
have been having the same sort
of trouble with the Brooklyn
team. This is another old story,
OF course, there are years when
one of these teams get the upper
hand over a persistent punisher,
but it so often happens that a
supposedly stronger club cannot
win consistently over one which
does not rate so highly. The
Yankees had such an experience
with Cleveland one season, and
another year they were perfectly
helpless against the Senators,
winning only five games of
the %.
Divide Series
The Giants last year finished
about eight games ahead of the
Robins on the seasons play. but
the final statistics showed that
the two teams had divided their
own particular series of games.
This year it looks as if the
Dodgers may knock the Giants
out of a chance for the pennant
unless Terry's men get the habit
of winning from Brooklyn. So
far New York has won only
three of the 10 games played
with Brooklyn.
Those Cincinnati Reds, no
tice, are also having their old
troubles with the st. Louis Car
dinals. The Reds have done
much better in their games
against the Cubs and Pirates
than the world champs have
been able to do against these
clubs this year, but just put
the Cards and Reds on the
same lot and it appears that
Howley'S men are as helpless as
Washington is before the other
st. Louis team.
