SYLVANIA, WITH THE UNITED
STATES FLEET AT SEA, June 6.
The United States battle fleet di-
Yided into Two evenly balanced
forces today for the climatic battle
of problem 16. the series of man
euvers with which the sailormen
have been engaged since May 5.
Vice Admiral Arthur j. Hep
burn took charge of one division
and Admiral Harris Laning of the
other for the mock engagement
which will begin tonight in the Pa
cific about midway between the
Hawaiian Islands and the Pacific
coast.
The maneuver will involve the
direct participation of 88 battle
ships, cruisers destroyers and air.
craft carriers. Meanwhile the re-
mainder OF the force Of 1870 vessels
will be engaged in other tactics,
with the submarines assigned to
protect the supply ships accom-
panying the armada.
Airplanes again will have a major
part in the engagement. The fly
ing units, numbering $50 planes
more than all the commercial
transport ships now in the United
States-held a preliminary drill for
their visit TO San Diego yesterday.
In the formation practice on of the
planes from the U. S. S. Nevada

HOMER WINS
CONTEST FOR
COCA COLAS

A homerun by. J. Ehmke of the
Coca Colas in the seventh inning OF
last nights game against the Fly
ing AS proved the margin by which
The Bottlers finally won out by a
6-5 score. The game was tight all
the way and il took this four-ply
swat by Ehmke To turn the tide.
The Gas men got off TO a good
start in the first inning. Flores was
safe CT an infield error and scored
on a passed ball. In the second
Stanza Cauzza drew a pass and
scored on ORHen'S wild pitches.
The Bottlers drew up on even
terms in the third with successive
singles by Van Nostrand and Wake
field and a long fly by Ted Ehmke,
the other run being counted on a
single by Holcomb. In the fifth the
Bottlers forged ahead when j.
Ehmke doubled and Ted biased out
8 home run. From that point on
the game seesawed back and forth
until the final Bother tally put the
game in the cooler for keeps.
League rules give the Flying AS
an added win and the Fat Boys one
more loss in the standings, it was
this morning. These
rules which govern the term of resi-
dence for league players were in

until, at last, the girl at the outer

Bobby handed him the sheet OF
note paper on which, for after

impression of Jean Dunn's finger
prints. Larry laid it on the desk

his face became gray and hard;
when, at last, he stood erect and
looked at Bobby his eyes were

Bobby.

The hired sedan from the coun-

to Midlothian, bearing Larry
Glenn, Tony LaRocco, and Al
Peters; behind it came another
car with the county sheriff and
three of his deputies, their aid
hastily enlisted by Larry on the
theory that local cooperation
never comes amiss. The two cars
covered the 10 miles to the Engle
farm in just over II minutes, and
spun into the driveway with a
crunching of tires on gravel and
a whining of brakes.

and the beds remade with fresh

dow, Larry saw the sheets that
Mrs: Engle had lugged into the
kitchen during his earlier visit
fluttering on the clothes line.
Having been cleaned and
Strengthened, the bedrooms con-
taincd little trace of their occu-
pants of the night before. After
half an hours careful peering and
prying, Larry came down the
stairs despondently, convinced
that the house would offer no
clew as to the gangster's destlna-
ton. There remained, then, only
the tedious process of combing the
countryside for traces of them
now, of all times, when Larry
wanted to make speed on the trail
more than he had ever wanted it
in all his life!
He turned to the stuffy front
parlor, where the Engles sat in
glum silence under the super
vision of two deputy sheriffs.
There was nothing to do, he sup
posed, but to start Quiz2ing them
in the hope that some information
might be extracted.
The telephonc in the hall tinkl-
ed. Engle involuntarily started
to rise, only to be ierked back to
his seat by the heavy hand of a
deputy. Larry looked keenly at
the two captives. The phone
tinkled again, and the eyes of the
man and woman became anxious.
Larry went to the phone, took
the received from the hook, and
said, "Hcllo." The operators
voice said, "Portsmouth is calling
Mr.. Fred Engle."
"This is Engle," said Larry.
He heard the prisoner in the par
lor give a muffled gasp; then the
operators voice, far off, said, "All
right. Portsmouth - ready with
Mr.. Engle;" and moment later
mans voice came on the line.
"Hello-Englc." the man said.
"Eisten. Jack Floyd may show
there this afternoon or tonight.
If he does, tell him we're at

Larry. tried sto give his voice the
sulren, despondent tone that .Engle
always seemed to use. ;

on a venture, he said, elbow does

was a click as the man hung up:

the call that had Just been made:
