a DAY
BY BRUCE CATION

DROBABLY there is lurking
i desire to be a pirate hidden in
every man, somewhere.
Maybe it's because We were all
brought up on Treasure Island, +"
and maybe it is because we're
just naturally given to admiration
Of sinful men; whatever the reason,
good tale Of piracy is something
very few of us can resist.
All Of this is just by way Of
leading up to the fact that Rafael
Sabatinfs new novel, The Black
Swan is good straightaway
story of piracy on the Spanish
Main. Need 1 say more?
The story opens with a girl
named Priscilla travelling back to
England from the West Indies on
a merchant ship, accompanied by
one Major Sands, an ardent but
somewhat stupid sutton.
AS soon as the swarthy. hand
some Monsieur de Bernis boards the
vessel, you know this Major Sands
isn't going to get anywhere at all;
for de Bernis used TO be a buc-
cancer, and lately has been in the
service of Sir Henry Morgan, and
what infantry officer would have a
chance against anything like that?
And presently their ship is cap
tured by the infamous Tom Leach,
as foul pirate as ever scuttled a
ship; and de Bernis saves himself
and Major Sands from death, and
Priscilla from an infinitely worse
fate, by means of a willy strata
gem, and a little later he runs Pr
rate Leach through with his sword,
and the kings ships come and res
cue them, and everybody but Major
Sands. who is jealous, lives happily
ever after.
OF course, you can see all of this
coming. But who cares? Piracy
is piracy and Sabatini is Sabatini,
and I have a weakness for both.
The Black Swan" is published
by the Houghton, Mifflin Co. and
costs 50.

asked.

MAXI"
NO, I don't think so. Who is
he?"

looked at the girl across the ia
bic and marveled that he and
Cherry. who had come to mean 50
much 10 each other, could have
gone on for years knowing different
people. going different places, talk
ing about different things and never
cncountering each other
t. was almost impossible now to
think OF himself as having an ex-
istence separate from Cherry's. or
her having an existence separate
from his.
MAX is a great boy" he told her
enthusiastically. I know you'll like
him He works on the News-re-
write man. And, boy. can he write
One Of the best newspaper men IN

Come to think OF ii. it's not so
strange II I haven't mentioned him.
Max has been in hospital OPP
Grated on for appendicitis about a
month ago. Since then he's been
down-state with some relatives
al L
how, he's coming back to work to-
morrow
She could tell by the light in
Dams eyes that Max Pearson was
more than an ordinary acquaint-
ance. Cherry said:
"Of course if he's a friend OF
yours. I'll like him. Tell me about
him"
Well, you have to know Max Ia
really appreciate him. He isn't
like other people. 1 mean he's bril-
liant and some people think he's
hard boiled and cynical. but that's
because they don't understand him
Give his last dime for a friend
Max would. Lots Of nights we've sat
around talking until or 3 o'clock
Just talking Max thinks our
economic system is all wrong. He's
q pacifist. too. and dead against war
Sometimes when he's in the mood
for it, he'll quote YOU poetry by the
hour. Keats and Housman and
Swinburne. Knows them all"
But I'd be afraid to talk to any
one who knows so muchi" Cherry
protested.
No. YOU won't You'll like him
You see old Max is real. He doesn't
just fake this literary racket. Some
dav he'll write a great novel.

jump, but the crowd fell into q
dramatic hush just after he made the
leap. He had come down from the left
side of the standards and cleared the
bar cleanly. He walked back, and as
he did so Ben Hedges ran down the
runway to congratulate him. Hedges

standards and the bar rolled off. Spitz

- H1CAGo. February 8.-Two old
I timers In the billiard business,
Y Augie Kieckhefer of Chicago
and Otto Reiselt Of Philadel-
phia, will play round of three-cush-
ions tonight for a world championship
and $4,000 in cash.
This pair of angle artists, both for
mer champions, have reached the final
match, tied for first place with 7 VIC
tories and 3 defeats, and tonight Will

also figures to collect as much as $25,-
600 more from exhibitions.
TIECKHEFER will be after his tenth
n title, which, should he defeat the
hdgety Philadelphian, would tie the
all-time mark of 10 championships,
held by Johnny Leyton of Sedalia, Mo.

able to overcome the left-handed Chi
cagoan.
Each suffered defeat Saturday and

number of innings. Arthur Thurnblad
of Chicago, the defending champion,
took care Of ReiSelt, while Layton de-
feated Kieckhefer. The identical scores
were so to SO, in 49 innings Kieck-
hefer was a slight, and probably a
hometown favorite at II to TO- He
had an average of 983, from 472 points
in 480 innings, while Reiselt had scored
448 points in 473 innings, for an average
of .947.

the loser of the championship match
tackles Thurnblad for third place.
The financial reward to the runner
up will be about $500, with $1,000
going to the third-place winner. The
winner of fourth-place playof will re-
ceive about $l,500, and the next two
places will be good for $1,150 and $3.50,
respectively The last four in the
