7 Asst nights session was doubly
IL gratifying to Tech, host to the
local tournament. The big east side
arena was jammed with more than
five thousand customers who saw
Shortridge, Acton and Tech cop
their initial tits. The fans were
packed into the aisles and corners,
and outside the doors hundred or
more youth fingered, each hopeful
as he asked the smokers outside:
Gonna use your pasS-out check,
buddy?"
The only place there was room
for an extra elboW-the most I'M
usual occurrence in sports history
was the press box. An orchid to
the management who reserved the
gallery for the newspaper men in
stead of the auntS of minor officials
with a little pull.
IF Ben Davis had drawn one OF
l. the weaker quintets in the local
sectional the weSternerS would
have gone far in the tourney here.
Stage fright, and little else, beat
them in the opening game of the
meet last night.
For several weeks Ben Davis back
ers had forewarned Blackboard that
the lads from west of town were
serious tourney threats. Then Lady
Luck turned a sour visage on them
and assigned Shortridge to meet
| them in the first fracaS.
For two quarters the Ben Davis
basketeers were almost helpless out
in front of perhaps the largest
crowd before which they ever played
and against a team they knew was
smooth, polished and powerful
Then, in the third period the Pur-
pie and White netmen began to find
themselves. They had trailed 12-1
at the end of the first period. 1875
at the half and in the third quar-
ter they rained the ball at the hoop
to bring the count up to 22-16. Late
in the last period they had crept
up to a 1928 disadvantage when
their offense cracked, and in the
last two minutes the Blue Devils
blazed out a 80 to % win.
Here's a tip: That Ben Davis
roster shows an underclassman team
Next year-well, they'll be hard fol

seven field goals for Acton. Max

there was nothing left but her per-
sonal belongings. She tried to reacn
Jim Roper, but he was not to be
found. Theda felt faint at the mem
ory of the moment when she realized
he didn't want to see her again.
Now she was on her way back TO
Ashville. AS her thoughts started
around the circle again-from Ash
vile back to Ashville-she grew dizzy.
Rummaging in her bag for the re-
storative she always carried, she found
the letter and sat staring at it long
moment before she remembered.
That morning-it was just two days
before he died-when she had looked
into Roy's room the nurse was sitting
at his bedside with portfolio on her
lap. Apparently Roy was debating a
letter to her.
She was about to interfere, for 1t
was against the doctors orders for
Roy to do anything Of the sort, but
she reconsidered. She would wait,
and if he were writing to that Carter
woman she would see that the letter
was never mailed.
Later the nurse came down with
the letter and handed it to her with
out question when she offered to mail
it. She had been right. 1t was ad-
dressed to Miss Carter. She put it in
her bag and forgot it.
Now. with the letter in her hand,
she felt little ghoulish thrill of sat-
isfactio to think she had thwarted
Roy in his dying attempt to COM
municate with that woman. What
had he wanted to say to her? Had
he had premonition of death? Was
he bidding her farewell? She was
glad the hussy would never know.
AS she slit the envelope and smacked
her lips in anticipation of rare bit,
Theda told herself this little bit of
revenge was coming to her. She
pulled out the single sheet and un-
folded it. The letter was short. Her
eyes bulged as she read:
Dear Florence: I wish to deed this
house to my wife; also the Titanic
Apartments and the Colossal Hotel.
Please send the necessary papers to
me for my signature at once. Yours,
Roy.
In the back of her mind Theda
knew that her train was being called.
The letter fluttered to the floor as she
picked up her bag and walked wearily
to the gate through which she would
pass back into that gray world she
despised.

lived the last five years was no long
er her home.
She leaned back in the seat and
closed her eyes. Was it only five
years ago that she and Roy had been
married? She had been beauty. was
still beautiful, in spite OF the lines
the last few weeks had drawn on her
face. Roy had come to Ashville on
business, had met her and fallen in
love with her. He was rich; he could
take her away from the CHASTITY little
town and give her the things her
heart desired, so she married him.
Marriage! Theda's lips we're drawn
into a wry smile. 1t hadn't taken
Roy long to discover that she didn't
love him, and that had ended their
marriage.
Though they continued to live in
the same house, he ignored her. She
resented that, as well as his friend
ships with other women, although she
never knew how intimate they were.
When she tried to find out, Roy
only laughed and told her not to judge
him by herself. At her insistence
that he stop his attentions to Althea
Stone, he had retorted "She doesn't
mean any more to me than Jim Roper
does to you"
That had been beastly of Roy. And
when she demanded that he dismiss
his red-headed secretary, Florence
Carter, he had squared his jaw and
declared in a rather naSty Way that
Florence was good secretary and he
would do nothing Of the kind.
Roys reflections hurt her pride. 1t
went no deeper than that. Really
she had been quite happy. A nostalgia
for those luXury-filled days almost
overwhelmed her. Her only worry
then had been to think Of more things
to desire, for Roy denied her nothing
but himself.
Yes. she had had everything. Until
the day when, out of clear sky, Roy
told her he had sold the country
house, that her allowance would be
cut in half, and that she must give
up her annual pilgrimage to the
Paris shops. How we'll she remem-
bered that day. the unfairness of it
all. her anger at Roy Business was
shot to pieces, he said But he kept
his Office and his secretary.
When Roy's health began to fail
from worry, they said-and the doc
tor ordered him to bed, she felt
frightening relief She didn't wish
him dead; she had superstitious fear

THIS DANGER POINT MUST BE
ELIMINATED

aThe accident at the Southern Railway
crossing on Seventh Avenue, East, Monday
morning, in which four men lost their llVeS,
emphasizes the imperative need for more
adequate safeguards at that point A
wetchman is stationed at this crossing only
twelve hours of each day and night, from
100 A. NJ, to 700 P. NJ. The terrible
tragedy at the crossing yesterday occurred
a Short time before the Waterman arrived.
Had he been on duty it is probable that
the accident would have been prevented.
Street and highway traffic on Seventh
Avenue, East, is heavy In addition to the
CITY traffic one of the main county high
why's enters Hendersonville on this street
and one of the leading State highways also
enters on the street. 1t is remarkable that
soy few accidents have occurred at this
crossing; but that is not sound reason for
permitting a condition to continue that
makes possible such tragedies Is that on
yesterday.
"A Waterman should be stationed at this
crossing every hour of the day and night
and for the safeguarding of the traffic
that is passing over it at all times, gates
should be provided which would make it
impossible for pedestrians or vehicles to
enter upon the tracks of the railroad when
trains are passing.
The Southern Railway should at once
take steps to completely safeguard this
crossing; and the officials of the city
should stand by to see that prompt action
is taken.
