------DAI DAILY SHORT STORY ---' LOVE A LA CARD Except for Romantic Strain and Weakness for
 Poetcards, He Was on Ideal Mailman
By P. n. WATERMAN

The postman was a dyed-in-the- wool romantic. When Mrs Mar garet Davies moved to Throne street fin October he immediately discerned in her a mystery which he desired to penetrate. She was a thin little woman with pinched and pointed sort of chin, always so wrapped up in coats and shawls that she more resemb1ed a bundle than a human being.
 But >she had large, dark eyes. which did not seem to see you-- the truth is she was near-sighted- and in spite of her kindly manner, she was plainly unhappy. True, she had told the p0stman that she suffered from a temperamental di- gestive system, but the unhappi- ness seemed deeper than this.
 The postman, who loved all kinds of weather and enjoyed his food, pitied her even more than if he had been able to understand, and won- dered even more than he pitied.
 It was almost February now and their friendship had the solidity proper to two who have shared a long, hard winter. As he came up OtEGCL 6Ac CdLIlO LV Luc cIlu of her fiagstone walk to meet him. Very frail she seemed, and mys- teriously sad: when he saw her he felt ashamed of his good health and cheerfulness.
 He looked like an overgrown in- nocent, with his cheerful, white teethed smile. His large nostrils sniffed in great puffs of the damp air; his blue-gray coat appeared about to burst with the deep respirations of his barrel chest.
 "Nothing this morning at all," he said, holding his right hand behind his back as if she were a little girl whose daddy had brought her car- dy. This was their own private joke and consequently more appreciated than 1t was perhaps worth.
 "Oh," she smiled reproachfully. He brought the hand out then and gave her the letters, the paper, the magazine he had. She shuffled through the letters casually, pre- tending to look at both him and them at the same time.
 f Then the postman noticed that just for a moment she looked dis appointed.
 "You're sure to catch pneumonia in those galoshes," she told the postman aggrieved1y. Look! There are big holes in them-your feet must be soaked"
 "oh, mo-" he protested, grinning "I keep going all the time and I don't get cold"
 She brought up her thin shoul- ders, shivering.
 "You shouldn't be out" he said. 'It's too damp"
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-01-30

He went off down the street, the galoshes Tapping noisily. He was thinking hard. She had been disap- pointed. Come to think of 1t, she had often been disappointed. She often looked just that way when he brought her letters-came down the walk with an eager lightnese, took his letters, looked through them, then dropped. Now it came to him with a sudden thrill that per- haps he was the bearer of what she waited for, that the answer to her mystery might come in his hands. This was the most romantic dis covery he had ever made in his life. A
 The postman's character was fin general moral, but he had one weakness-he read the postcards. He had developed an eye for them, and when he detected their pres- ence he would unostentatiously shuttle all the letters into position so that the back side of the post card was uppermost. Possibly, like the man in the Bible, his right eye did not know what his left was do- ing.
 Next morning he observed postcard tightly packed with a very fine masculine script, addressed to Mrs Margaret Davies.
 "In Minneapolis for the day. Fine town, fine hotel, terrible rain. Can feel rheumatism coming on. Coming your town Friday. Call you up Friday night. Take you out to dinner. Been looking at sights. Rain-there aren't any. Saw Jack D. here; married again. Nice look ing girl; too fat for any taste. De- votion still in status quo. Feel I've neglected you. May take you out to dinner? Ever, VANCE," The postman lifted his eyebrows | joyfully. Here! This was it. Per- haps she would feel better now. And he whistled more loudly and cheerfully than ever. How nice- ly it all fitted in.
 | He could not, of course, be en- tirely sure. He had only to wait and see if he were right. She was walking in the yard as usual, and as he approached she turned and came back to meet him. Taking the letters from him she went through them, stopping to read the postcard. , She looked up at him, smiling stiffly; there was 8 tenseness in the air as if she wished he would go away.
 Turning down the walk the postman thought: That's right: he's written" And he understand ly left her alone. He was very glad, though it had nothing at all to do with him.
 Margaret Davies stood there. very quiet, glad that the postman had gone, for she could not bear to look casual. Five words stood out on Uncle Vance's careless, good natured card as if they had been written in different ink from the rest: Saw Jack D. Married again."

United Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, May 24.-Alarming
as are the accidents which have
occurred to Mr.. Max Baer in the
short time since he started training
for his heavyweight fight with
Jimmy Braddock on the night of
June 13, there are more serious
ones to follow, it was learned ex-
clusively by your correspondent to-
Gay.
From a source as close to Baer
as the next process server the
knowledge was cleaned that the
champions bosom scorching by a
cap pistol, and the virtual mutila-
tion of the cuticle on his right
hand by an automobile door in
Buffalo esterday-horrible as they
were-are but the beginning of the
casualties planned for the title
holder.
My informant showed me a doc
umented program of injuries which,
in the dead of night, he had pur-
loined from the desk of Baer's press
agent. 1t read:
May 81: Champion, out strolling
boardwalk with Park Avenue deb,
has hair badly singed by enraged
lightning bug. Doctors, while in
sisting it nothing serious, say at
least three marcels will be required
to restore bruised curls.
June l: Baer's right calf severe
ly bruised by swapping, or killer" I"
garter. Attending physicians say
champion will have to forego sleep
ing in socks for week.
June 3. Champion suffers par
tial strangulation while bobbing for
apples at birthday party for Bud
dy Baer. Very foolishly refuses at
tention at first and only yields to
medical treatment when, half an
hour later, collapses while en-
gagged in a game of drop -the-hand-
kerchief. Head of seaside sanitar-
ium, where he was rushed, says
champion may have to forego post
office, wink and spin the bottle for
year.
June b: Baef SpfalnS JenQon III
left leg jumping on chair to avoid
battle with mouse, which came into
room with dukes up.
June g.: Champion severely burns
finger of right hand making
touch" off Manager Ancil Hoff-
man.
June IL: Baer splits lip and dis
located three fingers blowing kiss
across nightclub floor.
June II: Baer suffers from ex-
posure when he loses shirt in
crap game that marked end of his
training for defense of title on fol-
lowing night.

DODGERS SLIP
FROM HEIGHTS

NEW YORK, May "a. UP)-Man-
ager Casey Stengels Brooklyn
Dodgers apparently are headed for
home-the second division.
The baseball prosperity they en-
joyed a few weeks ago when they
led the National league gradually
has dwindled, and yesterday they
slipped into third place behind the
Chicago Cubs and only a half
game ahead of the fourth place st
Louis Cardinals.
The Cubs moved up through the
combination of beating the leading
New York Giants, 6 to 4, while the
Dodgers were going down with Gus
tomary dash, 8 to 7, in 10 innings
before st. Louis.
Changes likewise were taking
place in the American league. In
the only game that escaped post
ponement, the Detroit Tigers who
have been floundering about aim
lessly until recently, won, to g.
over Boston and climbed into the
first division. The Red Sox drop
ped to fifth.
The days outstanding spectacle
was staged by the Giants, who tried
to beat the Cubs with bush league
baseball and found it wouldn t
work.
Manager Bill Terry made two er-
rors; Cuccinello contributed one;
Davis and Lieber stood looking at
each other while fly dropped be-
tween them; Weintraub misjudged
a ball, and Leiber came out of a
fan dance with his feet tangled up,
fell on his face and let Cuyler's
drive go for homer.
The Pittsburgh Pirates clung
close to the first division when
Bill Swift held the Braves to nine
hits, one a homer by Berger, and
won, 7 to l.
Hank Greenberg was the big gun
in the Tigers attack. He drove in
three runs with a homer and a
long fly, and helped Schoolboy
Rowe to decision over Rhodes,

BOUTS
OFFERED At
LOCAL ARENA

Judging from the advance sale of
tickets, and comment, the wrestling
card at the City Limits arena to-
night, featuring Chief Little Wolf
and Sander Szabo in a finish
match, has attracted as much in
terest as championship bout with
Jim Londos and any good oppon-
ent would have drawn. Promoter
ContoS even predicts that the Lit
tie Wolf-Szabo engagement will out
draw the championship tilt he had
scheduled for this week, way be-
yond his fondest hopes.
Little Wolf is probably the most
popular and accomplished mailman
to ever appear here. He is color
ful fellow and one of the most
skilled performers in the game. On
the other hand Szabo's position in
the wrestling world has long been
established and fans realize that a
meeting between these two aces
will be something worthwhile see
ing.
The supporting card is one of
the best Contos has offered to date.
Each of the other events could well
be used as main events on cards in
much larger cities than Ell Centre.
The semi-final between Vincent
Lopez, Mexican and Ted Christy,
Californian, is natural in more
ways than one. Both men know
their business and the fans know
they may expect action even when
they appear singly and much more
so when they are matched together.
The eye-opener between Ernie
Dusek, of Omaha and Mike Roma
no, the italian champion will sure
ly be an eye opener to the cash
customers. Ernie has never been
here before, but fans are assured
that he even outranks Little Wolf
for color, and pitted against the
veteran Italian 1t will surely be a
bout long to be remembered.
Rusty" Wescoatt, of the Philip
pines, is another newcomer to the
local arena, but his fame has pre-
ceded him here. Football star, track
| luminary and boxing ace before
turning to professional wrestling in
which he has made great strides
in a comparatively short time, he
looms up as proper opponent for
the wiley Kimon Kudo, the dimin-
utiye japanese star.
In view of the unprecedented ad-
vance sale of tickets and particu-
larly the limited seating capacity of
the arena, the ladies-free policy
has been suspended and ladies will
be charged the regular admission
/ fees

Cornett Sells
His Interest In
BrouDnbiLt Store

Friends of Mr.. and Mrs. Boyd
Cornett will regret to learn that
they are leaving Ell Centro at the
end of the school year to make
their permanent home on the
coast, having sold Cornetts Brown
bilt shoe store this week to j. E.
Burns. Cornett has been in busi-
ness in Ell Centro for several years
and, in partnership with Burns, es-
tablished the Brownbilt shoe store
in this city, moving to the present
location in the early part of this
year.
Burns is also well-known in Ell
Centro and only severed his con-
nections with the local Brownbilt
store about two years ago to open
a similar shoe store in Brawley,
where he has been residing. While
continuing to operate both stores
Burns will be personally in charge
of the local store and expects to
move his family back to Ell Centro
within the next few weeks.
Cornett has made no definite ar
rangements CONCERNING his future
location. A change of climate was
found necessary because of his
health, and he states he will locate
in whatever place he finds has the
most favorable climate, with the
possibility that at a later date he
will be able to return TO Ell Cen

COCA COLAS
ON LONG END
Of BIC SCORE

Under a barrage Of hits and runs
the Coca Cola nightballers took the
Fat Boys into camp last night by
14-l0 score. Coming as it did
after several tight pitching duels
last nights game was welcomed by
those fans who prefer heavy hitting
to alright pitching.
The bombardment of base hits
started right in from the opening
OF the game with the Fat Boys get
ting off to a six run lead in their
half OF the first stanza but the
Coca Colans caught up and passed
their opponents and took control of
the situation for the remainder of
the game. The game was really won
when Bob O'Brien, pitcher for the
winners pasted a homerun over
the center field wall with two
mates on the paths.
Tonight the "B" league plays it's
final game of the week, when the
2O-30 and Junior c of c teams
take the field This will be the
f1rst appearance of the season for
the former club and a really good
game is assured.

LEAGUE GAMES

Oakland entered its last series OF
a long home stay today one and
one-half games ahead of Los An
geles in the contest for Pacific
Coast league pennant honors.
By winning their only game of
the season from the Angels yester-
day, the pace-setting Oaks jumped
their margin over the second place
team by full game.
The rival managers nominated
undefeated pitchers for the fracas
J. Millard Campbell for Los Ange-
les; Hank Mcdonald. former Phila-
delphia and Kew York American
Lacquer for the Oaks. When the
shelling, ceased, Campbell had re-
tired to the clubhouse in defeat,
and Mcdonald had his third
straight victory. The score was Al
A homer by Keyes with Hawks on
base proved enough to win.

opponent in a series. They meet
Seattle tonight.
