Alice nodded She remembered
very well, only her trouble had not
been so much in finding clothes as in
finding the money to buy them. She
felt herself being carefully appraised
bv critical eyes. But in this she was
secure. Her tailored neatness lent it
self far more gracefully to the luxuri-

said. "You should have written to

There was a tense, painful silence.
Alice felt herself floundering help

and encountered in the drivers mir

Tommy. the chauffeur. They seemed
steadying, dependable.
Alice laughed easily. What made
you think I was married?"
It was Beverly's turn to be embar-
raised. Patricia came to her rescue
with:
Alice, did you know that father
built a new home for us? We live
out in Eastwood now. It's the incest
place in that country, they say. But
you are probably used to nice things.

There was a real terror in Alice's

 BY OLD TIMER
Baseball Critic Gets Firey when Discussing
 Present Status

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 5.---The jelly bean age has hit the baseball camps bringing with it a long, low vail from Joe Schultz, St. Louis Cardinal field man who remembers when men were men and outfielders were corn fed.
 There is a difference in the crop Of young ball players Schultz re- flected.
 You don't run across many big men anymore, like Pie Traynor and Chick Hafey. That is you don't see many of them who are worthwhile D o1peots. Too frequently the big men are slow.
 Big and Slow
 Tn the old days almost every club carried and used one big outfielder who was slow and not particularly gcoi on defense. but who could hit the ball hard That isn't being done any more. The baseball prospect of today must have speed If he can't give you anything but base hits you don't want him.
 His formal discussion out of the way, Joe unlimbered and got to the heart of the situation:
 They're Light Eaters
 T dent believe the rising genera ton eats as well as we ate when we were youngsters. Mothers and even fathers are eating hay and trying to live on grapefruit juice and an oys- ter cracker, and the diet is reflected in the size of the youngsters.
 This is the 'jelly-bean' age. Tn the old days the kids were corn-fed, the mothers and fathers ate all they wanted and the boys were huskler and tougher"

s POR I SLANTS

That gorgeous bright line contrap- ticn which is wheeled out on the gfidiron in the Yale Bowl to serve refreshing water to the Blue football players between periods and when tinro is out is the brain child of Mai Frank Wandle, Eli trainer. And i5 Shc Major proud of his newest ere ation!
 Well he might be, for this water art is a work of art. A far cry from its unpretentious forerunn-r which Major Mandle trotted out on
 he gridiron at West Point when he ras acting as trainer of Army ath- latic teams. The first water cart, yith its single spray. created sen-
 ation and the idea was quickly ad- opted by many college teams. But compared with the 1885 model it would seem crude and inefficient.
 Major Wandle surpassed himself when he designed the present model. Painted bright blue, it is mounted cn wheels with huge balloon tires. IA low underslung tank holds the chilled water, which is sprayed on the faces of the tired athletes through tubes fitted with needle epray nozzles. A pump supplies pres sure up to five pounds, enough to Ithrow stream ten feet or more. A 3ironium drinking fountain, which is mounted on the front end, sets off the elegant vehicle to perfec- ton.

MORE NEW GADGETS

Che might think the major would be content to rest on his well-earned 'aurels, but he is not. Already he is working on plans for larger and better water wagon About the only thing he might add in the new model would be free lunch counter and maybe cocktail bar. He'll have to motorize his next creation If he adds many more gadgets or all of Yale's manpower will have to be pressed into service to get it out on the grid- iron.
 On all sides one hears the opinion that Yale's return to her former nigh place in the football sun is in no small measure due to the fine york of Major Wandle in putting and keeping his athletes in playing condition.
 Yale scored one of the biggest up- sets of the season last fall when eleven Blue ironmen pounded out a victory over the highly favored crim- son Princeton team. Major Wandle made them 60-minute players, and lad them in condition to go the full game at top speed and finish fresh.

.Japalese Athletes Take to ..s
 American Football m Tokyo

Added interest in the American game resulted from the visit to Ja- pan last spring of an American all- star team, mostly former Pacific coast university players. The all- stars, too beefy and experienced for Japanese opposition, played mostly exhibition games between their own Red and Green teams, but on the lew occasions when Japanese elev- sns tried to buck the visitors the smaller home boys gave a fairly ,cod account of themselves although 1utweighed from 40 to 60 pounds a nan. The Japanese are fast, cour- lgeous and, from their long exper- sncs at Rugby, are able to handle he ball skilfully.
 New League Forming
 The small size Of Japanese stu.' lcnts, however. is likely to prevent American football from ever becom- ng as popular in Japanese schools IS baseball or soccer, for instance, have become. The Japanese are sad v handicapped as to weight, and ike any other people they do not gre much for competition in which hey are hopelessly outclassed.
 Rugby and soccer, however, in which speed, skill and endurance count for so much, have long been major sports in Japanese universi- ties, and Japanese teams have held their own against first class foreign

THEY'RE IRON MEN

This fall Wandle picked up where he left off last season. Five of the same iron-men played the full 60 minutes against Pennsylvania and the way they came from behind to win speaks well of the job the Yale trainer has been doing. It was a weIl-conditioned Yale team that held its margin of victory over Navy for three periods and finished in fine shape without having had the slate smudged.
 Major Wandle made his mark as a trainer at West Point and served in the same capacity at Louisiana State with ''Biff' Jones before Yale pressed him into service.
