mine," said the widow.
Nollie thanked her for the
letter, put it in her bag and
was about to wish her bon
voyage, and leave, when a bell
boy brought q message. Mrs.
Judson gave a little scream Of
dismay as she read it.
Heavens! I've entirely for
gotten this date! And now I
simply can't keep it,"
She darted to the phone, but
got no answer to her number.
She turned to Nollie in dismay.
1T was for dinner. with q
dear old fogey sensitive as the

engagement four days ago, and
made it a theater date instead,
not thinking I was sailing. -.
and now I'd entirely forgotten
and have these other dates on
hand, and I can't reach him. =.
and he'll never forgive me. -"
It seemed that Mrs. Judson
valued the "old fogey's" good
opinion. She stared at the mes
sage, which stated that "Mr.
Hiram was looking forward very
much to seeing Mrs. JudSon at
the play. He might be late, SO
would she please call for her

was dining out with friends, but

it would be a whole lot of fun
to play fairy godmother to

ooh, didn't mean it in
that way!" Nollie flushed
Visioning anybody who still
had the capacity to blush,
the widow was intrigued.
YOU'RE a refreshing girl.
Who knows what fate has in
store for you? Come on, slip
into that green chiffon. -"
Nollie carried the expensive
costumes we'll. The frail,
clinging fabrics showed every
curve of her young figure.
When she donned the last
one, which was in delicate
blue satin, jimmy Judson drew
a deep breath.
"Whoops. what a peach. It's
the exact shade of your eyes!
Wat is the color? Del
phinium?"
A wrap went with this frock.
OF the same enchanting blue
but in chiffon. The long,
loose sleeves had cuffs of gray
fox fur, and there was a fluffy
fur collar.
On the left side of this,
close to the face, was a La
France rose in glowing pink,
and scented like the real
thing. Nollie closed her eyes
and took a long whiff of it's
perfume.
The whole outfits just your

Cinderella going to the ball had
brought a vivid glow to Nollie'S

were sparkling as a child's at it's

SEASON MARK SOLE |
| GAIN FOR YANKEES.
18-Inning 80 Battle With
Sox Is Longest Game
of Year in A. <. =
BY HERBERT w. BARKER,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

IL but hopelessly outdis-
" tanced in the pennant race,
~ the New York Yankees still
hang on to their knack for
setting up new records of one de-
Scription or another.
This time, though, it's only a new
seasonal endurance mark for the Amer
with the help of the Chicago White
Sox yesterday in an 18-inning battle
that wound up in a 3-3 tie and left
the Yankees still eight and one-half
games behind the idle Washington
Senators.
Darkness finally broke up q duel
which the Yankees twice apparently
had wor-flrst in the ninth and again
in the eleventh. Through eight innings
Charley Devens of Harvard fame and
Milt CASTOR pitched scoreless ball, and
when the Yankees pushed over a run
with a three-hit attack in the ninth it
seemed to be all over. Devens had
allowed only two hits, but AL Simmons
started the ninth with a single, went to
third on wild pitch and scored on a
long fly by Red Kress of Herb Pen
mock. who had relieved Devens minute
or two earlier.
In the eleventh the Yanks scored
twice on hits by Dixie Walker and Ben
Chapman, pass and an tnf1eld out,
but the Sox came back again to te
the score when Evar Swanson singled
with the bases filled. After that 1t
was q scoreless duel between two Of
the leagues Oldest twirlers-Pennock
and Red Faber, who relieved CASTOR at
the start of the twelfth
The 18-inning tussle equaled the
seasons major league high mark set
up by the New York Giants and St.
Louis Cardinals of the National League
on July 2, and eclipsed the Trimming
game the White Sox played with De-
troit's Tigers August 13.
Meanwhile, the third-place Cleveland
Indians stretched their winning streak
to seven games. downing the Boston
Red Sox, 1O-1 Monte Pearson and Bob
Weiland waged tight duel for seven
frames. but in the eighth the Indians
broke loose for seven hits, which, with
two passes and an error, gave them
eight runs. The victory increased
Cleveland's lead over Detroit to two
games, but left the Indians still trailing
the Yankees by nine and one-half
games.
Detroit's pitching staff collapsed in
the only other American League game
of the day and the Tigers dropped a
1877 decision to the Philadelphia Ath-
letics. Three Tiger hurlers gave up II
hits and walked 10 men.

certainly will be up against a fur
ther loss Of patronage.
II can speak definitely for the
Chicago Cubs when I say we are
heartily in favor Of helping solve
the situation and create a wider in
terest by arranging series Of inter-
league games in midseason. In my
opinion it would be positive ana
natural development.
ut Is a fact now, undisputed by
any club owner who studies the re-
turns, that from July to the middle
of August major league base ball IS
in the doldrums. These five or six
weeks are the games dog days SO
far as public interest in sport that
runs for SO long-too long If may
express another conviction Of mine.
What then Is more natural than
to break up this monotony Of mid
season by scheduling a series of
games between clubs of rival leagues?
Let the Yankees and Athletics play
the Cubs and the Giants. the Tigers

play the Pirates, the Chicago White
Sox meet the st. Louis Cardinals,
and so on.
Il don't mean exhibition games
either. but games that will count in
the standings of the clubs. They
wouldn't be worth three loud cheers
unless there was just as much at
stake as there is In q regular league
game. The whole picture would be
refreshened and livened. Don't you
think Giant rooters would flock to
see their favorites try to hatten the
Yankees now. or vice versa?"
Weeks attitude toward the neces-
sity Of a radical prescription for
base balls health is well known, but
the Cub presidents emphasis upon
the interleague proposal was ac-
companied by indications that the
magnates seriously are turning to
the idea. If it isn't adopted at the
league meetings this Winter Veeck
thinks the "split season" schedule
will be considered.
Evening star., 1933-08-22

"Just because the minor leagues
have tried the split season success
fully Is no reason why the majors
could not do the same thing" re-
marked Veeck. IF another fellow
has a good idea in the business,
I'm not prejudiced.
I'VE are all agreed that We do not
want to cheaper base ball. but the
fact now facing us is that some
thing must be done unless We be
compelled to cheaper it. Major
league base ball is expensive. Sal
aries, although they have been cut,
still are high. But to get and keep
the best talent and build up win
ming teams, money has to be spent
and good salaries paid. To do that
we have got to revive general in
terest by natural means. 1t locks to
me like a good time to try some
thing else besides a hope that the
good old days will soon be back.
They won't come back unless we
take steps to bring them back"

Either one would make it dangerous
evening for an innocent bystander
But both of them in the same ring at
the same time is storm warning on
both coasts.
Mr.. Irving Is mighty popular
and unpopular in this bailiwick.
Which makes him a drawing
card at all times. When X. o.
BrOide knocked his mizzen mast
loose last week, the crowd roared
In delight. When "POpeye" got
I'D and damaged Broide's dental
work for the full count, 1t voted
twice for Henry. So there you
are.
Irving began his ring career at Fort
Washington three years ago. He de-
veloped a right-hand smash that pulled
him up out of the prelim ranks.
frankie Mann saw how the crowd was
registering its idea on the matter at
the gates, and "Popeye" was regular
at all times.
Getting tougher opposition as he
arose up the fistic ladder, Henry's win
streak was stopped at times. But his
punch remained if his opposition did
get wiser in ways of getting out Of the
way of its lash. Even on the losing
end he was WOW.
During the past Winter Irmng
and Young Van, another young
man tpho has a lot of gate "it,"
S1Uelled the house for promoters.
Their first bout ended in an epen
nod, and the second pent to
IrUing.
Henry always shows better in a
No. scuff1e, proving to the flstic fol-
lows that he might get up the ladder
to a money spot one Of these after
moons.
And from the promoters angle,
Henry is nice young man. He is a
rarity. When he is matched he never
wants to flash his book of alibis, re-
member having forgot to see his ailing
aunt on the date the fight is scheduled,
and does not want to know in how
many banks the promoter keeps his
money. Henry takes a fight with a
nod. And he usually gets the nod, too.
Big Boys appearance against
Irving is prompted by the pro-
moters' thought that our hero
always looks his best against
bulky targets. And Smith is
plenty bulky, plenty green and
plenty loose. When the Big Boy
hits he starts in December and
gets around in May. He coils up
like a stem -winder and unwinds
like an eight-day clock.
And with a pair of loose hitters, a
couple of round -the-world' swlngerS,
in there tomorrow night you cannot
blame me for pointing out this skirm-
ish as being likely to interest you the
most.
