Jimmie Dumont, foot-loose and handsome, was one of those un- fortunate jobbing band musicians whose sense of rhythm greatly ex- ceeds their sense of responsibility. Jimmie, you're about the sweetest sax player in town-but I can't af- ford to gamble with you any long er," old Bob Valair, veteran book CT back in the home town, had said when he fired Jimmie for tho fifth time. But Jimmie hadn't any reason to care then; he was too well known to worry, and he was signed up eagerly by one of the other bookers.
 He had laughed at Valair just as he had laughed off those innumer- able reports concerning his tardi- ness and fragrant disregard for the requirements of dress. Coming late on the job was bad enough. It wor- ried the leader. He had to start playing short-handed. And small jobbing band of five or six pieces needed every instrument. on the job in order to make the best showing. ....,
 And then, of course, when Jim mic did arrive his velvet-toned saxophone more than made up for weak start. "'..'''.-.
 But the source of complaint to every booking office in town was Jimmie's incurable penchant for bohemian dress. He would show up on the job wearing a loud" tweed suit with sport shoes and yellow cravat when his booking slip read distinctly, Dark suit and black bow tie" ''--.-.
 And he invariably appeared to play formal dancing party dressed in an impressed business suit when the booking called for tux with wing collar" When the leader remonstrated with him, Jimmie would drag an old soiIed wing collar from the depths of his tenor sax case.
 But a good thing overdone can not last forever. And one day he found there was no more work for him in his home town.
 The bookers could no longer af- ford to use the exceptional saxo- phone playing of Jimmie Dumont. He had no alternative-being a natural born musician-but to leave his home town in search of new fields.
 He found himself broke ard dis couraged as he walked into the costly foyer of the Plazamoor. He was in no shape to try for job with the band playing at the city's most exclusive supper club. But he had exhausted every other pos sibility in town. The nearest pawnbroker could have his instru- ment for the price of meal if there was no berth for him here.
 Just got out of my car after a 5O0-mile drive," Jimmie remarked to Guy Williams, maestro of the

 You'll be here at then-in tux," Guy Williams said pointediy, concluding their interview. "At 9--in tux" The confirming words had leaped out desperately from Jim mics throat. And now he walked out into the late afternoon sum- shine wondering what he would do next.
 He had no tux-and had no way | of getting one by night. His only suit was on his back. He had no money and no friends here. At public washroom he cleaned himself as best he could and put on his clean white sport l shirt with the long pointed collar which was the last vestige of his prosperous days. Then he sat down on park bench and waited | for the fateful hour to arrive. At 9 Jimmie Dumont, feeling more like his old self than he ever had since misfortune had blighted | his path, walked determinedly into the Plazamoor. The prospect of a job, and the rest in the park, had revived his former spirit i Jimmie waited until the last minute Then with a desperate. | determination-that, nevertheless, | bespoke an easy familiarity-he l Tipped up the collar on his shirt l As he slipped into his chair |. | great wash of white light flooded the platform. Guy Williams was 1 taking bow. Jimmie's hands l flew up to cover his counterfeit | front.
 1 But before the eyes of the din- 1 CTS could adjust themselves to the gesture of saxophone player l choking himself in the lir1el'~ht the white flood was cut off. The diners and orchestra found them selves floating in a subdued amber | glow. Guy Williams raised his baton, and a night of gayety was begun.
 Relieved of the imminent danger of exposure, Jimmie was sure lie was getting away with it. His ex- ceptional tone and technique blended with the striking effects of. the reed section as though he had rehearsed with them for months. | Guy Williams seemed pleased with 1 it all.
 But when the night of music I was ended Jimmie was called into | the office.
 Opening the door labeled Man | ager," he was stopped short bv the sight of old Bob Valair. the book CT from his home town! Valair's gaze seemed to Jimmy a mixture of anger and despair. "You-you're managing Guy Williams?" Jimmy gasped in as- tonishment. Valair nodded silent ly. He picked up an envelope of the desk and held it out to Jin- mic.
 Jimmie, you're about the sweet est sax player in town." he began, ''but I cant afford to gamble with you any longer"
 Jimmie's face fell, and he bowed his head in acceptance. Same old Valair. Hadn't even changed his formula. Reluctantly Jimmie looked up and reached for the en- velope. Suddenly Valair laughed:
 Here's your first weeks pay in advance" he said Its an order for $45 on the Clermont Clothing Company. Not transferab able. I told them you'd be there tomorrow to buy yourself a tux"

LITTLE F|NLANDER

Has Title to Defend Here,

Trip From Canada.
BY ROD THOMAS.

A BIG job out of the way

N pionships yesterday, the
District A. A. u, under the
leadership of William E. Russell,
today turned its undivided at
tentiOn to The Stars third an
nual marathon for the national
A. A. U. title, to be held a week
from next Saturday, with Dave
Komonen expected to defend
the crown.
Komonen, Finlander and one OF
the greatest long distance runners in
history, at present is citizen OF Sud
bury, Canada, about 300 miles north
of Toronto, but there is every likell-
hood he will be able to make the long
journey to Washington.
1t is not altogether unlikely the
hardy little fellow will attempt an
unparalleled achievement, to wit, the
winning of two major marathons only
a week apart. On the Saturday
following The Stars contest, will be
staged the Canadian tryout for the
British Empire Marathon, to be run
at London. Komonen already has
made application for entry in the
Canadian event, but there seems to
be doubt over his eligibility. He has
not been naturaliZed. That he has
applied for citizenship is strongly in
his favor, it is understood.
"HE last runner of note to at
tempt two full marathons with
in eight days was Clyde Martak
of Baltimore, winner of The Stars
contest of 1882. He lasted about II
miles in the second gallop. Even the
great champion of the last Olympics,
Juan Zabala, couldn't take this pun
ishment. as demonstrated when he
broke down in a 26-mile race that
followed the Olympics by two weeks.
The ease with which Komonen won
the national A. A. U. title last year
and the Boston Patriots day classic
last April has given rise to a feeling
in some that the little fellow is super
marathCner. But such opinions are
f1outed by a number of runners who
will gallop over the Mount Vernon
boulevard June 8. From a dozen or
more come expressions of confidence
in their ability to dethrone the lad
from the land of lakes.
