Spunky's eyes widened beneath her healthy frown, then nar- rowed into excited slits as she lay back fin her chair and laughed shakily. She called out: "0h, Pete. come here."
 She pushed a packet of un- opened letters aside in favor of Q renewed perusal of the one which lay open before her. "Am I really admitted?" a voice from the doorway asked.
 Spunky looked up at Pete Kir- ker's smiling face. Pete was an an- nouncer, and a very good one; he had handled Spunky's programs since first she went on the air.
 Come in. Pete, please" said Spunky. "Fve something to show you"
 Peter grinned. "something good, I bet," he said, taking . chair. You've got the old fire in your eye today, Spunky. Who's in for getting hell? Not me?"
 Spunky laughed. "No, not you. And don't call me 'Spunky.' That is 8 name which permit only one man to call me-the man who in- vented it. To you and the rest of the groundlings around here my name is Mary Agnes
 Pete looked at her admiringly. Its a good name for you, though" Then casually, Have you ever heard from the man who in- vented it?'"
 "No," said Spunky, "I haven't"
 Pete sighed. You were sap the way you handled that guy, Sp- Mary Agnes. One of the biggest guys in radio-practically controls a network. He's interested in you, too. We all saw that that, night at Bronson's party. He was interested in the spunky side of you - liked your spark"
 II know," said Spunky sadly.
 "Then why on earth did you have to turn coy? That guy could have done things for you"
 T know, Pete, I know" Spunky said. "But let's forget about it. That was weeks ago; and MT. R. A. M. has probably forgotten my ex- istence." She picked up the letter which had first prompted her to call Pete. "In spite of R. A. Mrs predictions I'm still the unknown 'Know-It-All' commentator of sta- tion WHEE at Hamilton. And I
 Spunky handed him the opened letter. Read that" she said. Pete looked at the letter. He read aloud:
 Dear Miss Know It All: Your comments are far from soothing to my shattered nerves. Too much color in those accounts of down. town displays. Why don't you ad- here to facts? By the way, do you happen to be the creator of the Jan and Judy script presented over station WHEE? It sounds like you"
 It was signed "A Transient" "Whew! Some stuff, eh Spunk 2"
 Stuff is right. A transient! She's probably never strayed out side the city limits"
 What are you going to say to- day?" asked Pete meekly, trying to hide his unwelcome sympathy. She looked at her watch. Gosh, it's 10:15."
 She picked up the letter and ran across the corridor to the small, shabby studio.
 Coming, Johnny" she sang to the morning announcer, and swirled around the entrance into the glass; -encased room.
 Ready, Johnny"

 Good morning, friends and !" she smiled to herself as she ad- dressed her unseen audience.

Crimsoned and exhausted she steeled herself to stride into the reception room where Pete was standing. He pressed her arm.
 Gee, Spunk, you're brave" She pushed him away and 5erked slightly when she noticed the beck

 manager calling her into his office. "Yes, MT. Bronson?" with an 1m- pish smile, but she knew. And sne braced herself for the attack. MT. Bronson was grave. Some demon has possessed you, Mary Agnes, and I think you must be sorry for your act now. blame myself for not shutting you off. but frankly, I was fascinated" he laughed heartily. She joined his mood, weakly. Then he sobered. Now, child. we at the studio ap- preciate this humorous situation. But the fact remains that we are still striving to build good will. Um you're an asset here, and we don't want to lose you. So ! suggest ah you make q public apology. Or else =" "Or else?" she querted sturdily.
 "Or else shall have to ask you | to resign" He looked down at his desk and was silent.
 "All- right, MT. Bronson, I resign. And and thank you for all kindness in the past"
 She walked in daze and bumped into a fat messenger boy. "For me?" she asked, as he hand. ed her a yellow envelope.
 'Uh-huh." He chewed his gum thoughtfully while she signed. Un-
 excited fingers tore open the en-
 velope. She read: Mason House.

GERMANS FAVORED
OVER CZECH NETMEN
Seen Stronger for Singles Play
in Davis Cup Test-Expected

BY the Associated Press.

PRAHA, July 13. Czechoslovakia
was expected to defeat Germany in
the doubles play Of the Davis Cup
European zone finals today, but Ger
many's strong singles players were
calculated to earn that country the
right to oppose the United States in
the interzone play a week from today.
Roderich Menzel and Josef Malacek
were slated to uphold the Czech colors
in the doubles against Hans Denker
and K. Lund, with Baron Gottfried
Won Cramm a possible substitute for
either Of the Germans.
The betting leaned to the Germans
yesterday when Heiner Henkel, al
though beaten by Mcneil. turned in a
sensational performance that bade i'll
for Jon Caska. his slated opponent in
the singles Sunday. Should Henkel
defeat Caska 1t practically would as
sure victory for Germany because Won
Cramm, who reached the finals Of the
all-England play with Fred Perry, was
counted sure winner over Menzel.
Won Cramm loafed to an easy VIC
tory over Caska yesterday, 60, Ga.
60, having the play in hand at all
stages. Henkel, who IS only 10, car
ried Mcneil, No. ranking Czech, to
five sets and came very close to
snatching victory from the veteran.

PRINCETON IN LINE
FOR OLYMPIC TESTS
Has Great Facilities and Is in
Spot Where It Is Able to
Attract Track Fans,

1T SEEMS pretty well assured that
the Olympic trials next Summer
will be held in the Palmer Stadium
at Princeton. The fast track, oppor-
tunities for housing all the athletes
and pleasant environment are among
the factors which will dictate the
choice of Old Nassau.
But of more important considera-
ton is the fact that the outstanding
centers of interest in the sport of track
and field are Philadelphia, Baltimore,
New York and various important cities
in the metropolitan area.
Here lies the gate and here only
unless you go to the West Coast, which,
Of course, Is too far away from the
rest of the Nation to make it feasible
location for a national meet.
So far as the athletes are concerned,
they are better pleased, more greatly
stimulated when they perform before
sizable throngs, and the accessibility
of Princeton to multitude of track
fans within a radius of $50 miles in
sures larger number Of spectators
than would gather anywhere else.
1t might even be that the gate at
the Olympic trials would play a sig
nificant part In defraying overseas ex-
penSes Of the United States team.

These matches were played under

lust how far does long hitting
get a girl in golf? We have in
this town Helen Dettweiler, the blond
Congressional miss who pokes 'em a
mile and who probably is the longest
hitter of all the lassies who push golf
balls around the local courses. We
have Mrs. Leo Walper and Betty
Meckley, both of whom can maui a
golf ball fairly far. We have Louise
Clayton of Chevy Chase, a girl with
grand golf swing and the ability to
park the ball out there in the great
open spaces.
But of all the long hitters among
the women in this territory Balti-
more girl takes the crown, according
to Fred Mcleod. The girl is Eliza
beth Janney of the Green Spring VAL
ley Club of Baltimore. Now, Miss
Janney is a fine player from the tee.
She wallops them long way, like
Babe Didrickson, but quite apparently
she hasn't learned what to do with
the ball after the tee shot. Miss
Janney, despite her lengthy hitting
from the tee, hasn't yet won anything
important in women's golf. How do
you judge her length from the tee?'
we asked Freddie.
"I gave her lesson out on Lunatic
Hill one day." Freddie said. You
know Lunatic Hill, out there at Co.
lrlmbia? John McInerney named it
that because it made lunatics out of
normal people Well, Lunatic Hill is
about 240 yards from the hedges along
the Connecticut avenue sidewalk.
Miss Janney poked out couple of
wooden club shots that ended up in
that hedge. And they didn't jump
in the hedge at the end of their run
either. They hoped in on the first
or second bounce. That's how far
she can hit 'em. Boy, if she had a
good short game she would give the
rest of the women a flock of duck
fits"
