She did not know why v 'the clown, with
his colossal impudence and conceit" - but
later she took the paper out of the scrap
basket and slipped it under some clothes in her
bureau. She laughed as she thought she would
throw it away when he reported number two.
No matter how snippy she was to Wally,
he continued to call just to show her, as
she said. that he had made no second cross on
the duplicate record. Sometimes she went out

Ed more earnest.
Ed and she had shared indignation over
Americas hesitation after the sinking of the

Germany. Ed enlisted. But Wally showed no
signs of infection by her war passion. He
said he had heard that the regular officers
at the nearby army post said we would
have to send large army to France before
the war was won and our withers as well as
those of the Allies might be wrung.
From all accounts the trenches aren't

which was as irritating as his grin:
But Madge. I'll, I'll come to show you
the record - that being case of Stacking
between you and me. not between my country
and me-"
Then came April 6, when all America was
swept up with the wave of emotion following
the declaration of war. Madge had come in,
flushed from enthusiasm and canteen work,
when Wally appeared, unabashed, with his;
Just to report there's only one mark on

She was without words for the moment in
face of the strange fire in his eyes, which
seemed to burn her own. Then the tempest
of him engulfed her. He seized her in his
arms, kissing her passionately, and she struck
at him, reviled such cavenan stuff and said
she hated him. His tempest passed as sud-

derson entered, in time to hear her outcry

apparently regarded as the foul stain of
Wally's kisses from her face.
Eds anger responded in proper manly
fashion. He struck at Wally, who lodged.
Save all you've got in you. Ed, for the
Germans" Wally told him.
"Yes, quite So" said the chaplain, in his
cautioning, mellow wisdom.
"You ought to rejoice in the evidence she
is yours, Ed," Wally continued as he started
to withdraw. In the doorway he paused to
add. Use plenty of soap and water, Madge.

Looking very handsome in his uniform, Ed
made the most of his opportunity to comfort
Madge. He assured her she need not worry
drilling just as part of the program. When
Germany realized that America was in
earnest, she would make peace.
Upstairs in her room, Madge took the slip
of paper out of the drawer, cumpled it
savagely in her hand and tossed it into jar.
Anyhow, she had shamed one Stacker into en-
listing. She hoped he would have taste of
real war as lesson for manhandling women.
More and more men were being drafted to
our training camps; regiments were going
over there. The turn of the regiment in which
Ed and Wally served came.
Madge was in the crowd lining the main
street for the march out. Eds eyes we're
cast toward the faces in search of hers. He
beamed his goodbye and she smiled and

She curved her lips, which seemed to have
turned to stone, in a half-smile; she broke
into a strident, hysterical laugh which was
strangled in her throat. If she had been a
firt, as some of her friends said, an inno-
cent, instructive fiirt, she could reason that
she had lost only one man of the two. The
other must still be alive.
She thought back to the day of our entry
into the war, now revealed as fate's own
day for her; ana back of that to Ed Wells and
to her first meeting with Wally Green.

children together, in school together. He was

him waiting, but accepted him as the even

Referee "Muggsy" Morris. over
whose head a preliminary fight
was stopped by the say Of one
Judge and at the direction OF
Boxing Secretary Heinie Miller
at the ball park a week ago Mon
day night, today stood out as a
clear-headed, honest and diplo'
matte ring official, following a
mock investigation by the Boxing
Commission yesterday.
In the face of the facts that
Boxing Inspector Foley was di'
rected to tell Announcer Jimmy
Lake to get in the ring at the
end of the second round Of a
scheduled four-round fight be-
tween Bobby Goldstein, brother
of Matchmaker Goldie Ahearn,
and George Levy, July %, neither
Foley. Lake nor either judge was
questioned at the So-called investi-
cation, and it is understood, were
not summoned.
No Intent to Stop
Morris was asked if he was
aware the fight was about to be
announced as a mo contest" and
replied, Eyes"

what he was doing in the ring

Morris told the commission he
had no intention Of calling it no
contest and that both boys were
trying.
Asked why he permitted Lake
to go ahead with the announce
ment, he answered that he did not
wish to create a scene.
Backs Up Interview
Asked if he had given the inter.
view attributed to him in The
Times regarding his lack of inten.
ton to call a mo contest" he an
swered that he had given every
word Of the interview.
Asked If he didn't think he
could have been more diplomatic
than to have aired his views in
newspaper, he indicated that
everybody else aired theirs and he
didn't see why he should be an
exception in that his interview
represented only facts which
should hurt nobody. Besides, he
had exercised a great deal of
diplomacy by not barring Lake
from the ring when he climbed in
to announce the mo contest"

here, the commission indicated,
have not been satisfactory.

WHITE PLAINS NJ. Y, Aug. /.
jeremiah T. Mahoney, president
Of the A. A. u, and a member of
the American Olympics Commit
tee, had reiterated today his be
lief that America will not partici.
pate in the Olympic games in Ber-
lin next year If within the next
few months evidence is found of
discrimination against Jewish
athletes.
Speaking at a meeting of the
committee of 100 Of the Jewish
Educational Association last night,
Mahoney said:
81 personally will vote against
such participation and 1 know
many other members of the
committee who will vote the
same way If any evidence of dis
elimination is found.
"The time may come next
December when the burden will
be placed on those who want
the Olympic games in their
country to prove they have not
done what they are accused Of
doing.
"The Olympic games should
be held in countries that are
sports minded, and where Jew
iSh athletes will not be intimi.
dated; where governments are
guided by the spirit of the
Creator; countries that are not
run by paganS and autOcrats
who have no conception Of fair
play.
1--WE love the German people,
but we cannot love those who
are temporarily in power and
who are striking at the flower
of Germany. We intend to act
in the interests Of the German
people and we want them to
know we stand aghast at what
their leaders have DONE"

Tuesday, Investigation was play

About the middle of the Sleuth-
Treasury game, a. ball was seen
rolling over second base from the
West Ellpse and it had been hit
by Tommy Thompson, of Gich-
ner's. OF course it was a homer.
Later, Willis Benner, of Treas

hitting homer to the confines of
the Heurich- Gichner's field, the
ball rolling near second base Of
that diamond. Still later, Tony
Rosser, of Investigation, hit line
