plunged into the sea.
Mrs. Wyckoff joined the excited
group cluttered by the rail. She shut
her eyes, clinging bitterly to the cold
iron rail and picturing that meeting
in the waters, lurid with faring red
fire. Edna was very good swimmer

for Mrs. Wtckof to restrain herself
from haste. With studied effort she
swung the legs over the railing. then
took firm grip on Edna's thick warm
wrists, and satin rumpled loosely, as
flesh scraped against iron. Mrs.
Wyckof breathed heavily from the
exertion but she did not loose her hold
until her own arms were stretched
down at full length and Edna's feet
almost touched the slipping waters.
Then she let 70.
Edna's scream shattered Mrs.
Wyckoff with physical wrench and
instantly she realized her mistake, her
not having taken into account the fact
that the plunge into cold water would
revive Edna almost at once. Panic

The cabin was stuffy with cheap
scent, and silk underclothes dotted
untidily its darkness. Sleep still hung
heavily about Edna, that first deep
drenching sleep that comes to the
young, and she stumbled against the
rolling of the ship as Mrs. Wyckoff
found wrapper of musty satin and
helped her into it.
The narrow deck was walled by
black night and Mrs. Wyckoff went
to the iron rail. and only her profile
was family white and the hand that
was not held beneath the folds of
dark heavy silk.
Edna said impatiently: "Coming?"
Just a minute Il think l see

"What?"

Mrs. Wyckoff stepped back. A
weighted stocking swung in a brief
arc and struck sickeningly. Edna
slumped and Mrs. Wyckoff caught
her. 1t was as simple as that.

offered no suggestion of life. She went,
a shadow among shadows, past

Furr took a lesson in inside
fighting in the fifth round when
Jadick hooked a left to the face
and then pinning his man on the
ropes, pulled Phil squarely into a
blasting right uppercut.
BY the time the sixth was half
over the crowd knew it would take
a kayo sock by Furr to win. Jadick
made him miss and uppercut him
with the right time and again.
The eighth round was a long and
doubtless painful session for Furr
After scoring with heavy right
to the heart that beat a sweeping
left hook to the target, Furr tried
another right and ran into a
counter that stood him up. Jadick,
hardly taking a long breath piled
up the points. He had all the rope

them.

when Charley Breckenbacker out

ricular of interest over and

But here is what I was going
to tell you about Bob Wilson
that you probably didn't know.
Over in Lakeland, Fla, whence
he originally halls, he once cold
cooked a referee. Yes, sir, he
knocked him cold as a two.day
old mackerel.
Bob was fighting a scrapper
by the name of Lee Davis in a
preliminary role, and Davis
called Bob short, ugly word.
Fells Referee Also
Bob's Southern blood boiled.
He felled Davis with a single
blow, and then jumped on him
and kicked him from one side
of the ring to the other, just
for good measure.
The referee, seeking to call a
halt to the massacre, tried to
spull Wilson off the stricken
Davis, and Bob ups and grabs
the stool, which was by now in
the ring, and let's it drop very
accurately across the confused
conk of the third man in the
ring.
It was 80 minutes before Lee
Davis came to and the referee
spent the night in the hospital.
Well, the upshot of this story
is that Pop" Stouffer declares
his new hope, "Six-Cylinder"
Pope, is a better fighter than
Bob Wilson.

IDA SIMMONS
THREAT To
GULL|
Ry SID KATZNELL

They are picking Ida Sim
mons, Norfolk (Va) flash, to
walk off with the fourth annual
ladies Dixie Sweepstakes down
i'm Richmond, where southern
hospitality is actually practiced,
Saturday at Tiny Town Amuse-
ment Centre.
The reason Ida is the favorite
is simple enough. She has been
making the wooden bottles sing
merry songs lately and is con.
sidered dangerous stakes
bowler. Last year she finished
fourth was 1927.
Ida was selected by the Ma.
tional Duckpin Bowling Congress
as the second best woman bowler
in the United States. Her aver.
age for last season was 109.53
for 313 games.
Our own Lorraine Guilt was
chosen as the best female bowler
in the United States with an
average of 117.17 for 274 games.
Although the Southerns are
selecting Simmons to win the
event, Washingtonians are con.
fident that GULL will retain her
crown.
Twice Champion
Lorraine captured the Dixie
Stakes right here in Washington
last season by rolling 1077. She
also won the stakes in 1882 with
1857.
Billie Butler and Pauline Ford
will also represent the Capital in
the Dixie. They won preliminary
stakes prizes. All told, Isemann
expects 20 entries from Washing

Dixie Stakes Night
The Tantilla Garden, known as
the show place of the South, has
designated Saturday night "Dixie
Sweepstakes Night"
The garden is one of the most
attractive night clubs in the coun.

Gait Davis, youthful manager
of the Rosslyn alleys, always wears
a smile.
George Isemann, secretary of
the National Duckpin Bowling
Congress, may rank the junior
bowlers as the tennis association
ranks it's junior racket wielders.
Ray Cross, secretary and official
scorer of the Masonic League, is
one of the hardest working secre.
taries in the bowling game. He
keeps the newspaper boys well
supplied with information besides
attending numerous other duties
