what month he will make the at

that the salt beds Of Utah will pro-

definite naming of Utah as the

New Goodyear Tires with 439o more non skid
mileage are greatest tire success i'm years!

TOOK at the names published
Il here. They're representative
of the kind of people who are
riding on the wonder tire of 1884
the new "G.3" All.Weather.
You can bank on it-this tire
has to be good to win such owners
as these.
And it has to be good to be what
it is today -fhe tasfest.selling
tire in the zvOrld!
How about YOU?
When will you join the rapidly
growing list of wise buyers who
ride on this spectacular new
"G-3"?
You get a broader tread-a

flatter tread "a heavier tread
z pounds more rubber per tire
on the average) you get extra
grip in the center of the tread
where it counts for safety, be-
cause that's the spot where the
tire contacts the road. You get
patented Goodyear Supertwist in
every ply-and that's the only
ply material that makes such a
husky tread successful.
And it all adds up to more miles
of nom.skid safefy-43% more
non.skid mileage according to
actual test fleet records.
Surely you can't afford to miss all
these extras when you consider
that you can have them at no
extra cost.

Chaplin, as he talked in excited tones.

"Did you find him like this?" Hamp

little, as he regarded Chaplin.
"I-er-a"
"Daddy-Daddy-" harsh, femi-
nine voice shrilled from the port side
"Where are you?"
"Come on" Chaplin whispered, gal
vanized into sudden activity. Lets
get on deck-where we can talk and
clear"
1t was too late. A tall woman with
snowwhite hair, wearing a cerise vel
vet robe, stood poised in the doorway
staring at them.
"Who are you? And what are two
strange men doing aboard my yacht ?"
she demanded with chilly Indignation.
Then her eyes shifted toward the floor
and she saw the still figure of Sidney
Hart. For moment, she reeled I'M

"He's dead!" she gasped, as the

sank suddenly to the floor, beside
Hart. A convulsion of wild sobs shook
her body.
Chaplin and Hampton edged toward
the door leading to starboard. Chaplin
had his hand on the knob, when the
door opened, and girl with ash
blonde hair, and prominent eyeglasses
burst unceremoniously into the lounge.
II insist upon knowing where l ami"
she announced, sputteringly, and seiz-
ed Chaplin by his shirt sleeve. "Can
you speak English?"
The girl, Chaplin noted, wore a dark
tailored business suit, and small hat.
She looked somehow out of place on a
yacht. So did he, for that matter,
in his dress shirt, and black trousers.
Hampton had on an overcoat and a
gray felt hat. All three of them look

The sixth door opened into a COM
fortably furnished lounge. He was
about to enter, when his attention
was attracted by faint noise. Atop
the forecastle, two brown-skinned men
were coiling rope. He went forward
and shouted at them. They paid no
attention, beyond favoring him with
a vacant stare. He climbed down the
narrow iron stairway and made his
way across the Fore deck.
"Where is this boat going?" he de-
manded, as he stood over them.
They continued to stare at him.
One of them babbled something in
an unknown language. The other
made numerous gestures, and grunt-
ed little. Chaplin repeated his ques-
ton and both men waved their arms,
and ratified on in u frantic dialect that
had nothing of the Latin or Anglo
Saxon. Chaplin stamped away, angrily.
Looking up, his eye detected man
on the bridge. He stumbled up the
stairway-found the one leading to
the bridge, and climbed it.
A white man, uniformed, and smart
looking, was pacing back and forth
leisurely.
Chaplin said to him: "Where are
we bound for, Captain?"
The man glanced at him casually,
and mumbled something that sound
ed like the language that the two
brown-skinned men had used.
Don't tell me that you don't speak
English" Chaplin said, GROSSLY. The
man looked like an American.
He was answered by gesture of
seeming incomprehension. He cursed.

woman with the white hair who had
called him Daddy sobbed over
his body! Who was she anyway?
Chaplin had always understood that
Harris only child-a son-had been
dead for twenty years. The situation
was rapidly becoming more battling.
And now this girl, who babbled on
about people not speaking English.
Chaplin took her firmly by the arm,
and led her down the deck. Hampton
followed. The scene in the lounge,
Chaplin felt, was not the place for this
girl. She looked frightened and quite
capable of hysteria.
"Who are you?" she demanded.
"And why did you two men kidnap
me?"
"Please lower your voice." Chaplin
cautioned. eve didn't kidnap you.
At least, didn't"
She jerked her arm away, and glar-
ed at Hampton. "You did it, then"

Hampton asserted gruffly.

to calm her.

1t was bad enough to be shanghaied-
but to be at the mercy of Captain
and crew who spoke an unheard of
language, was distinctly disconcerting.
He turned away, gloomily, and
started to descend the stairway. Part
way down, he heard door open and
shut, and hurried down the remain
ing steps. A stout man in light pa
jamas was leaning over the rail-retch-
ing violently. Chaplin hesitated. Be-
tween spasms, he thought that he
heard the expression-"Oh, lord!"
And hesitated no longer. The man
might be seasick-but he could speak
English.
The man mopped his forehead, push
ed back blond, wavy hair, and stag
gered toward door. He did not look
in Chapin's direction, and before
Chaplin could reach him, the door had
closed. A bolt clicked loudly from
the inside, as Chaplin stood before
the door. He knocked. There was
no response. He waited a minute,
cursing under his breath, and then
moved on, aimlessly, headed aft.
A long drawn-out and peculiar
moaning startled him. He paused to
sense the direction. Wondered if it
had come from the man whom he had
just seen, and walked back. Stood
before the door again, listening, in
tently. Noticed that an aluminium
II" lettered the door. Remembered
that there was an "F" on the door of
the room that he had occupied. A
minute passed, and there was no sound
Chaplin thought of knocking again.
Then the moan was repeated with an
echo of eeriness. 1t did not come
from behind that bolted door, but
from somewhere nearer the bow. He
walked in that direction.
AS he approached the lounge, a
voice that sounded strangled and
queer and diminished to low moan
made him hurry forward.
The door was swinging-partly open

and the voice droned: ITS murder
murder-murder-I tell you" and
dwindled to Il quivering gasp.
Chaplin rushed into the room and
saw tall, gaunt, elderly man-clad
in an oldfashioned flowing night
shirt-bent almost double-holding
his stomach, as though writing in
agony. And suddenly, with cry of
stark terror, he toppled overhead
first-and lay in a grotesque position,
at Chapin's feet.
The man was Sidney Hart-million-
aire publisher. Chaplin recognized
the old man with sense of horror,
as he fell. Sidney Hart had paid for
Chapin's tuition in art school, had
placed him in the position he now held.
The Giant Weekly was one of Harris
string of magazines. Chaplin had
known him well enough to call him
Uncle, although the old man was not
a relative.
Hart was muttering-"M Murder
murder" over and over. Chaplin
stopped and caught hold of his wrist,
in an effort to feel the pulse, and
noticed that the eyes had a filmy, un-
natural look.
uncle Sidney" he murmured, in
frantic appeal, cts Taylor Chaplin.
Don't you know me? Tell me-what
is it? What happened?"
The eyelids fluttered. Sidney Hart
made last effort to speak-but no
words came. Then his head dropped
back, limp. Chaplin knew, instantly,
that his old friend was dead. He knelt
there, stunned and bewildered-unable
% comprehend this sudden and awful

death-unable to imagine details that
might have led up to this strange voy-
age. What was Sidney Hart doing on
this yacht? Had he been shanghaied,
also? And was he-Taylor Chaplin
about to be murdered? He shuddered
despairingly. Wondered what had
caused Harris death. Had he been
poisoned? Who was the man whom
he had seen on deck? Had that man
been poisoned, also? Countless grue-
some suspicious shot through his mind
A cold perspiration tingled on his
forehead-and voice said, sharply:
What are you doing?"
He looked up and faced a short,
slim, dark-haired young man, whose
sombre, brown eyes seemed to be glar-
ing ruthlessly at him. He had not
heard anyone enter the lounge. The
tragedy had numbed his brain.
The young man repeated the ques-
ton, waited, and added snappishly:
81 suppose you don't speak English,
either"
Recollection of earlier ventures that
morning brought quick understanding
of the other mans thought.
81 speak English" he returned,
swiftly. "Who are you and what are
you doing here?"
my name is Dick Hampton-and I
don't know what the deuce I'm do
ing here. Who's that on the floor !?
And what's the matter with him."
The young man moved closer, and
a look of horror blanched his features
as he caught sight of the CLASSY eyes.
That's Sidney Hartw he stammer-
ed, and rubber his eyes, as if to be
certain of what he saw. as he is
he-?"
Eyes. He's dead" Chaplin said
quietly. "Did you know him."

CARDINALS IN
FIRST PLACE

NEW YORK, May 20. U.P) -
Frankie Frisch's St. Louis Cardin-
ais occupied first placei n the Ma
tional league standings today by
virtue of their 10 to victory over
the Phillies yesterday while the
Pittsburgh Pirates succumbed twice
TO the New York Giants who re-
placed Chicago in third position.
A pair of home runs by Travis
Jackson gave the Giants q double
victory, 3 to and l to o, and sent
the Pirates down TO second place.
Jackson's home run in the second
inning of the second game was the
only tally, and enabled Carl Hub
bell to register a shut out victory
over Ralph Birkofer. Both yielded
five hits.
The tail-end Cincinnati Reds
hammered out an 8 TO l victory
over the Brooklyn Dodgers. The
Boston Braves II hits off w. Lee
and Bud Thinning were good for
5 TO victory over the Chicago Cubs.
The Cleveland Indians held on to
a slim American league lead by de-
feating the Philadelphia AS 6 to 5
in 10 innings. The New York Yam
KEGS hammered out 81 hits, for a
13 to 9 victory over the st. Louis
Browns. Back in the lineup, Babe
Ruth hit home run. Lou Gehrig

COLAS
WINNERS OVER
STUDEBAKERS

The heavy hitting of Jim Holcomb
and Ted Ehmke proved too much
for the StudebakerS last night and
the Mechanics dropped 7-3 de-
cision to the Coca Cola team at
Wilson field. Holcomb poled two
homeruns over the right field fence,
while Ehmke nicked Chambers for
homer and triple to boost his av-
erage.
The first three innings were
scoreleSs but in the fourth inning
Holcomb got his first four-ply swat.
In the sixth Jim repeated with
Ehmke on third. This gave the Co
ca Colas a 80 lead which was tied
up in the last of the sixth
Three Studebaker runs were man
ufactured out of two passes two
hits, one of which was a double, an
error and an infield putout. With
these three counters to the Mechan-
les credit, the game was evsl-Ste-
phen, but not for long,
In the seventh inning three sue
ceSSive Coca Cola singles brought in
a score, with three more added in
the ninth when Ted Ehmke boosted
enc over the fence with two of his
mates on the bags.
The defeat left the Studebakers in
first place but facing the possibility
of a three-way tie with the Bakers
and Grocers should they win their
games this week. The Coca Colas
pulled up to a 500 mark in the
league standings and appear to be
getting up steam for a big drive in
the second round with the bunting
as objective. These boys have pull
ed surprises before and may sur
prise the others teams yet.
Tonight CramerS Bakery meets
the Golden State team in the Sec
ond game of the second round, with
the Cox Brothers-Fat Boys session
scheduled for tomorrow night. Both
of these games are filled with pro-
mise of excitement and good base

rush of qualifications.
Thirty-five cars fulfilled the quail
flying requirements but the two
which turned in the lowest speeds
will be held in reserve as alter
mates.
Speedway officials prepared for
the largest crowd in four years. Ho-

cared for part of the excess. Other
fans unable to obtain rooms stayed
at nearby towns or set up tempor-
ary camps in their automobiles.
Outside the speedway gates the

For 25 years the historic two and

ROSS SCORES UPSET BY TAKING
WELTER CROWN FROM M'LARNIN

abled the latter to ayenge the long
string of beatings given by the Dub
lin Dynamiter to such prominent
Jewish battlers as Kid Kaplan, Sid
Terris, Ruby Goldstein, Joe Click,
joey Sanger, Al Singer and Benny
Leonard.
Decision Split
The split decision fueled dissatis-
faction in the McLarnin camp.
Judge Harold Barnes voted for
Ross, giving Barney IL rounds, Nc
Larnin two, and two even. Judge
Tom O'Rourke balloted for Jimmy,
giving the Irishman nine rounds;
Ross one, and five even. Because OF
this disagreement, Referee Eddie
Forbes settled the matter by giving
the verdict to Ross. He credited
Barney with 13 rounds, McIarnin
one, and one even.
Forbes penalized McLarnin five
rounds for low blows, but he said
four of those would have gone to
Barney anyway.
The verdict was generally popular
with fans and sports writer's. Vir-
tually everyone admitted McLarnin
appeared somewhat rusty after his
long lay-off in which he fought only
two minutes and Al SECONDS in a
year and half.
On their actual fighting-omit-
ting penalties-the United Press
score sheet credited McLarnin with
seven rounds; ROSS five and three
even. This record was based on Nc
Larnin's aggressiveness throughout;
his harder punching and scoring the
greater number of blows. Jimmys
