CHAPTER THIRTY EIGHT Con
tinued)
Janet picked up magazine and
tried to read The words parading
before her eyes were meaningless.
She could not keep her attention
on them. The house seemed quiet.
so quiet she could hear the tick of
the clock across the room. Janet
glanced at it, Twenty minutes of 9.
In twenty minutes more Rolf
would be there. Janet tried again
to read She mustn't think about
Rolf She wouldn't go to meet him,
of course. That was out of the
question
She looked at the printed page
and thought, I didn't try to make
things happen the way they have.
It's not my fault
But it would be her fault If she
went out the side door and down
the fagtsone walk to the oak tree
There would be no one else to take
the blame for that
n
IT was eighteen minutes now And
Il now And now seventeen. How
fearfully quiet the house was! Not
a sound except the clock. Not a
sound? Oh, yes, there was-there
was the beating Of Janet's heart
She could feel it drumming away
so noisily that if any one else had
been in the room they must surely
have heard it, too. The clock and
the steadily pounding heart Kept up
a sort of duet.
Janet rose and moved about the
room restlessly.
She thought. He said it was i'm
portant. I wonder what he wants,
Perhaps it really is important
And then quickly, But it can't
make any difference! 1 told him
l couldn't see him
Impulsiyely she turned to the ra-
dio again, turned in noisy orcheS-
ira and let the brassy notes fill the
room. It was hideous but it was
better than the silence. The sound
seemed to steady her. No she would
not go to meet Rolf
TT was ten minutes after nine
Il when she stepped out of the
house. A few more nights and
the moon would be a complete
golden circle It shone down bright
ly on a crooked patch of the lawn
The rest was Swallowed by trees anc
the hedge at one side of the house
Janet closed the door behind hel
and waited. There was no one in
sight. The oak tree on the right
was a mass of shadows. No, Roll
had not come. He had taken her
at her word.
She hesitated a moment, staring
at the patch of moonlight and the
blackness beyond All at once she
saw figure moving, slowly COM
ing toward her. She heard a voice
call softly, "Janet!" She knew il
was Rolf.
II can only stay a moment" she
said when she was beside him
What is it you want?"
There was barely light enough fo1
her to make out his face.
Perhaps to see If you woulc

Then I'll have to go!"
His hand was on her arm.
NO, Janet-please! You can't &c
now. I really do want to talk tc
you!"
Well, them"
The hand on her arm frightened.
Janet" the man repeated the
name softly You're looking very
sweet, do you know it?"
All at once his arm was around
her She had no will to stop him
even if she could have. Rolf caught
her to him and his lips found hers

them tightly but that did not shut

JUDSON EARNS
.LONDOS MATCH

There's nothing left for Pro
moter Joe Turner but to match
this up-and-coming Frank Judson
with the world heavyweight
wrestling king, Jimmy Londos, for
the feature match of his show at
the Washington Auditorium next
week.
Judson proved his right to a
title match by pinning "Rude"
Rudy Dusek, one of the better
grapplers, with a wrist lock in 20
minutes before $500 spectators
last night. The crowd, strictly for
Judson, was stunned by this
smashing victory on the part of
Judson. Only Jim Londos has
been able to put Dusek's shoulders
to the mat in match here.
1t was the second triumph for
JudSon over Dusek, once having
gained decision in a Commute
bout. Last week he went two
hours to a draw with the durable
Ray Steele.
Both opponents went at it in
earnest last night, with Judson
allowing Rudy to try his best
tricks and holds. The Blonde
Blizzard" attempted everything
but couldn't succeed in fooling the
former Harvard wrestling coach.
Then the crowd went wild when
Judson .clamped on the pinning
fall.
Ray Steele did away with
Blue" Son Jennings, the Indian
warrior. with a body roll in %
minutes in the semifinal. "Tigah"
Nelson surprised the fans and
himself by scoring his second
straight victory, dumping Jack
Hurley in IL minutes. John
Maxos tossed Tiny Ruff in 81 min
utes, and Herman Hickman and
Joe Cox struggled 80 minutes to a
draw.

Briefly, he simply didn't get
the latter down but the sports
man, knowing his innate hon.
eSty and the state of his fl
nances, wanted to forget about
it. But the Kid would have none
Of that. He went out, borrowed
the money from friends and
paid off. The Kid probably
didn't eat much that winter.
He was like that.
He also was like this: He
knew within 48 hours that the
team he was managing in the
1919 world series, the Chicago
White Sox, was not leveling.
For one thing, Ray Schalk and
Claude Williams, the battery
for the second game, had had

after it was over. For another,
hitters like jackson were TAX

pinch and outfielderS like F'elsch

so when they came up to the
final game in Chicago and the
Sox had a chance in spite of
themselves, the Kid, as bench
manager, twice refused to take
out pitchers he could trust for
pinch hitters he couldn't. That,

WOLFPACK

Catholic University's Flying
Cardinal basketball team is today
celebrating a. surprising 1923 vic.
tory scored last night at the
expense of the star quint repre-
Senting North Carolina State.
C. us ability to register points
on free throws. and States failure
in this department of the contest,
decided the issue between the
two teams.
The Red Terrors from North
Carolina outscored the Cardinals
from the floor, 8 field goals to 8,
but C. U. outscored State, 10 to S,
in free throws.
Some of the finest basketball
ever witnessed in Washington was
flashed by both teams for about
10 minutes Of the first half when
the score stood at hall. The
wonderful defenses offered by
both quints offset the aggressive
and clever offenseS during this
period of spectacular play. Half
a minute before the close of the
first half. Clark gave North Caro-
lima State an advantage of
single point, IL to II, when he
scored with free toss. The half
ended with that score prevailing.
C. U. used only five men in the
game, while State sent nine men
into the contest which was bit
terly contested from beginning
to end.

HOYAS PLAYING
CLASSY F|VES
On ROAD
BY SID KATZNELL

Georgetown Hoya hoopers will
have to step lively in order to
come out on top in their games
with Colgate and New York U.
as those teams are considered
among the leaders in the East.
Colgate Red Raiders are to be
met by the Hoyas tonight at
Hamilton, N. Y. Reports from
Hamilton have it that Colgate
basketball team is almost as
strong as last years football
team. If that's so the Red Raid
ers must possess an exceptional
potent five. The Hilltoppers
opened their tour last night by
nosing out Canisius College, 1926,
at Buffalo, N. Y.
Come From Behind
The Hoyas came from behind
to defeat Canisius in a game
marked by the sensational play
of Rybak, Canisius' all-round
athletic star. Mainly due to the
efforts of Rybak, Canisius took
a 17-to-9 lead at half time. He
played a smashing game, despite
the close guarding of Carolan,
Hoya star, and scored four field
goals and a free throw in the
first half.
Georgetown played alert, clever
basketball in the second half and
in the dying moments of the
game Captain Crowley, of the
HoyaS. sent G. U. into the lead
at Is to "a when he registered
with a sensational toss. Crow
ley'S field goal was followed by a
clincher, tossed by Carolan.
Play N. Y. U. Tomorrow
Tomorrow the Georgetown
courtmen take on another hard
nut" in New York University. Both
the Hoyas and the New Yorkers
employ the pro style of play. The
latter quint has given many play
ers to the pro aggregations.

''WOmen are bitten by the

Babe Accepts
Challenge Of
Didrikson
BY PAT ROBINSON

NEW YORK, Jan. 6.-The bat
tie of the babes was assured to-
day when Babe Ruth, big shot of
baseball, accepted the challenge
of Mildred (Babe) DidrikSon,
ace of women athletes, to COM
pete against her in a round robin
of sports events.
The girl star of the Olympics
picked handball, running, base.
ball throwing, billiards, swim
ming, golf and bowling as the
sports in which she thinks the
masculine Babe might give her
a fair battle.
OF course, she doesn't think
Ruth would have a chance in
some other sports at which she
is proficient, such as high and
fancy diving and archery, but
she says the events named might
be close enough to be interesting.
Wants to See Her
"Say," rumbled the Ruthian
bas %, when he heard about it.
81 want to see that dame. She
must be pretty good at that,
but she's off her nut If she
thinks she can take me at golf
or bowling or tossing a baseball
or handball. I think I'm pretty
fair at thOs- games myself.
"Tm not so hot at tennis.
though, and / guess she could
make me look foolish at billiards
and swimming. And, as for run
ming, well, I'm not as young as
/ was and maybe she could take
me there, but I'm not so sure
about it."
The masculine Babe took every
challenge in good part except the
golf. He seemed incensed over
the fact that any girl should
think she could beat him.
Proud Of Golf Game
Listen" said he, ''if any.
thing in skirts can trim me with
a golf club, then I'm ready to
admit it's time to enter an old
mans home. You say she can
shoot 81 but I want to see her
do it over a tough course before
I believe it."
Babe" Didrikson was also
faced with two challengers of
her sex. Countess Zina Jeanne
LIE Marr, who calls herself the
champion lady boxer of the
world, hurled one def at the
Texas one-woman track team.
The other came from Ruth Nc.
women's professional bill
lard champion and former all
around athlete at State Teachers
College, Stroudsburg, Pa. Miss
McGinnis, a native of Honesdale,
Pa, said swimming. running,
jumping, boxing, golf, tennis and
billiards were her SpecialtieS.

One of Old School

OF all the fighters baseball
has known, Kid Gleason was
the most feared in generation
when men were supposed to be
so tough they used vitrol as a
mouth wash and brushed their
teeth with a file. Over around
Philadelphia, they often tell the
story of how he once pushed
his way through a pair of swing
ing doors and threw four men
out OF. a Camden saloon. How
ever, It seems that he was some
what handicapped at the time.
There were only four men in
the Camden saloon.
They tell a story over there,
too, that furnishes even a
higher tribute to the Kid be-
cause it deals with courage
that was not physical, but
moral. The incident in ques-
ton occurred long after the
Kid was through in Baltimore
with the old Orioles and well
after his final season with the
Phillies. In other words, he
was pretty much on the beach
and doing strictly no better
than was barely possible. He
was, in fact, running a small
handbook in the off season in
an. effort to pick up a hand
full Of haircut money.
More or less as a personal
favor, one Of the sportsmen of
the town took a flier on a
long shot in the Kids book,
playing something like $50 on
the nose. That afternoon, the
horse breezed in but the Kid
didn't. The Kid, as a matter
Of fact, had gone down to
the corner to meet a friend
and forgot to come back till
the following morning. He also
forgot several other things, in
cluding the horse race and
even the bet.
