{. i. Is Threat
For Team
Crown

Trackmen from American Uni
versity, Catholic University and
Gallaudet College will 60 to Balti'
more today to take part in the first
annual Mason-Dixon Track Cham
pionships being held at Johns Hop
kins University's Homewood Field
Fifteen events are scheduled
with more than $50 athletes ex-
pected to bid for points and
awards.
Heats in the 100-yard dash are
the first scheduled event, and
three local boys are conceded ex'
cellent chances Of qualifying Tor
the afternoons final.
Young Glass Of Event
They are Bob Hill, of American:
Will Rogers, Of Gallaudet, and La
jouski, Of Catholic University.
The class Of this event and the
229yard dash appears on past per-
Torrance to be washington Col
lege's Glib Young. The Eastern
Shoreman finished only slightly
behind Jesse Owens in the Penn
Relay last Saturday.
One of the most interesting
races Of the day should be the one
mile event. Cowboy Burnett, Of
Gallaudet; Billy Richardson, Of
Randolph-Macon, and Howard
Emmert, Of Johns Hopkins, are
expected to be grouped at the
finish, with the experts giving the
edge to the man from Kendall
Green.
C. u. Sends Star Relay Team
The outstanding local relay
team will be from Catholic Uni
versity, but the Cardinal baton
handlers will undoubtedly en-
counter some rugged opposition
from the relaymen representing
Western Maryland, University Of
Delaware and the University Of
Baltimore.
Earlier in the week American
University's outlook was none to
bright, but Walter Young was
ready to concede practically every
thing yesterday afternoon when
doctors ordered star Howard
Thompson to withdraw from every
event save the broad jump, and
promising pole vaulter Bill Tres
non was counted out because Of
an injured vertebra sustained
when q pole gave way In last
weeks meet with Lynchburg Col
1ege.
Cards are Title Threats
OF the local teams Catholic
University is conceded the best
chance of capturing the team
championship, though firsts in
the mile and half-mile events by
Cowboy Burnett will give the Blue
from Gallaudet a fine start.
Frank Cairo, Cardinal freshman
from Steelton, Pa, may earn
some points for the Brooklanders
In the discus and shotrput events,
while Kimber Shoop. American
javelin HEAVIER, is counted on to
pull in some of the few Eagle
points.
Aside from these two men it Is
not expected that the District will
be any too well represented in
the weight events.

, Julius Solters. That broke the
whitewash anyway.
Hogsett had q charley horse in
his thigh, but he went on pitch
ing just the same.
Wonder why Travis slowed up
and stopped at second on his
smash to left field In the third
inning. McNeeley waved his
arms off, but Travis had his own
ideas.
Lyn Larry spanked q double in
the third and singled in the fifth
after a walk in the first. Just
a real good day for the former
Yank and Griff.
Buddy Myer made q cracker
jack play on a high bouncer by
Solters In the fifth inning. Myer
had to come in fast for the ball
and had to make snap throw.
Nice fast game yesterday. It
required As minutes to play one
and one-half innings. But the
ladies, lord love 'em: they had q
splendid time. They even
cheered the foul flies.
Lewis showed more speed In
turning a double into q triple in
the fifth inning than he has
shown all spring.
You would think that Solters
would know better than to throw
in back Of runner, but he did
this In the fifth inning. AS q re-
suit they piled UP two wholly ur1-
necessary runs. Well, when 1t
starts pouring, it just pours.

FOG pressed down over Sydney like gray
Tnebulous curtain rolling up from the water
about Circular Quay in damp, penetrating
clouds Henry Giles could scarcely make out
the dim outline of the wharf from where he
stood at the top of the ships gangway, his pipe
tucked in one corner of his mouth, debating
whether or not he would go ashore. The SIS.
Lancaster, cargo ship of which he was one of
the deck crew, was due to sail at midnight.
Four hours to spare! Giles had the dog watch,
and If he were back on board by eleven-thrty
there would be plenty of time to change into
dungarees and get up to the bridge by twelve
He turned his gaze toward the city Where
myriad lights trembled in skeins of mist like
fireiies trapped in cobwebs, and, with fatal
istic shrug, made bis decision
The gangway watch materialized suddenly out
of the gray misty shadows of the forward
deck carrying a food light, He plugged in the
long extension to connection in the engine
room companionWay and made the big reflector
fast to the outside rail, sending bright shaft
of light cutting through the fog to outline a
moonlike circle on the wharf below. Fog rolled
through the beam like white smoke
"Blimey, what a nightm he remarked to
Giles "Fogs that thick you could knock off
pieces with chippin' 'ammer an tie 'em up in
little packages fore they blew off, Ere am /,

Giles started down the gangway, his ship

ward the bridge.
TOMMY climbed to the boat deck, and, feeling
/ his way forward-his hand running over the
damp canvas boat covers to guide him along the
deck-he at length reached the officers quar-

MacDonalds booming Scotch voice, loud and
fierce, In the door stood Smith, the cabin boy,
cringing before the Mates TRADE,

made Here try it yerself ye beedin' pot Jug

Mate dashed it into the cabin boys face Gasp
ing, he withdrew without word, his face con-
vulsed with white anger and humiliation, as he
disappeared down the companionway.
Old Tom shook his head. The Mate didn't have
a right to treat men like that! He hestated
moment before MacDonalds door. He'd be in
for it himself now, with the Mate in his pres
ent mood From where he stood, he couldn't

itation, Tommy raised his hand and knocked
on the haf-open door, expecting below from
the Mate. Instead, he heard deep, gasping
groan and the sound Of a heavy thud. In
moment he was, inside the cabin.
Horrified, he saw the Mate lying face down.

Sorry. Bagley," the Chief spoke sternly. He
took a whistle from his pocket and blew
sharp blast that, to Tommy, sounded IKE tne
scream of tortured soul. When, a few moments
later he turned unbelieving eyes toward the
cabin door, he saw white surprised faces crowd
ing in He could see they believed he had killed
Macdonald. For the first time in his 70 years
at sea, Tom Bagley was afraid-possessed with
the fear of an innocent man caught like wharf
rat in a barbed trap He still held the knife In
his hand. AS he looked down at it, terrihed, ne
realized how strong the circumstantial evidence
was against him.
IT EXACTLY half past eleven, Henry Giles
u came up the gangway. Through the gray
mist he made out the dark form of man lean
ing against the superstructure In the shadow OF
the shelter deck.
,'That YOU. Tommy" he called. Without an
swering, the dark silhouette moved toward him.
AS he stepped into the wraith-like circle OF light

"Righto," Giles agreed, and without further

Work Should Be Inspirational, Not
Something On Which To Survive

Another thing the plodder forgets-or doesn't
knows that he must be sure of the thing
he wants Too often he doesn't want anything
but an easy job and comfortable living, and
then as he grows older wonders why life is
suddenly fiat and uninteresting,
Get thee behind me, Satan" was said by
the Master many generations ago, and It's sun
the worlds wsest advice, The temptation to
think and aim at only physical ease is an error
that must be oombatted and overcome, This
breeds mental aud physical weaklings and rohs
life of the spontaneous Joy Of achievement that
it should have.
rHERE isn't any devil except an indoent and
weak mind, and this must be suppressed
md shorn of all power or influence,
If ambition is lacking, it may be that the
physical body needs attention or rest Often
the first signs of something being wrong come
with an Indifferent mind and il is right here
that a check should be made.
Milling around at night clubs never made
enius or produced a work of art There may
nave been people who have succeeded in spite
of going around at night, but there is no telling
how much more inventive and successful they
might have been If they hadn't gone out
Long walks under the night sky, long hours
with good books by fireplace, long thoughts
while driving country highways, are means
TO getting acquainted with that very fine per-
son, YOU The REAL YOU can accomplish
almost anything If the superficial you will get
out of the way and stop senseless chatter and
foolish milling around,
Can you imagine Thomas Edison sitting night
after night at some roadfouse watching dis
reputable floor show? Can you imagine the
great steinmetz playing poker night after night
with gamblers in room filled with smoke?
Great men and women live lives of deep
thought and inspiration, and many who are un-
known would be great if they followed in the
path of the brilliant ones.
People accept you very largely at your face
value and they believe your own appraisal OF
yourself, If you entertain noble thoughts, you
will attract noble friends
Don't dig in the ditch to earn the money

which slipped his mind as he ran to the Mates
side He thought he detected faint breathing
Grasping the handle of the knife, he pulled 1t
from MacDona1ds back and was about to turn

You started down the gangway just as Bagley
here left you to answer the Mates whistle, but,
under cover of the fog, you slipped back on
board, hurried up to the bridge deck and sta
toned yourself outside MacDonald's port. You
meant to sneak into his cabin as soon as the
way was clear, stick knife between his ribs
and then steal ashore again in the fog. Bagley
saw you go ashore before the Mate was killed
You'd have a perfect alibi. You heard Mac
Donald quarrel with the cabin boy. Blame might
easily be thrown on him. Then, Fate played still
further into your hands, Macdonald came over
to the port and opened 1t, He turned>his back
which was not three inches from you Mad with
the hatred you had been carrying in your heart
ever since Macdonald killed your brother six
years ago in fight on the jetty in Singapore,
you plunged the knife into his back. 1t was easy
to get ashore without being seen in this fog.
But-you made one mistake, Giles! 1t was al
most perfect crme-alnlost. But-yon i0ere

mixture that nobody smokes but you. He smelled
the stuff again when you came back aboard and

now there's no mistakng the vile weed" The
inspector pointed to the pipe still tucked in the
corner of Henrys mouth. "Giles, I place you
under arrest for the murder of Douglas Mac
Donald" The inspector finished. For long mo-
ment there silence in the room pro-
found that one might have heard pin drop.
Just minute, my man." Giles was the first
to speak, You're bloody well jumping to con-
clusions, I'd say, Not ten minutes before I went
ashore lent some of that tobacco to-"
But Giles never finished his sentence The
Chief Engineer grabbed the blood-stained knife
that had killed the Mate from the table and,
with lightning movement buried 1t in his own
breast He fell forward across the mess table
in a welter of blood
Amazement was mirrored in the eyes of all
present.
"You lent some of your tobacco to Mr.. Will
cox?" Captain Barrett, speaking for the first
time, asked incredulously.
Giles nodded.
Old Tommy shook his head sadly
Him, too! Wonder what e 'ad against Mac
Donald?"
Whatever it was we amt likely to ever ear
now,' Giles whispered.
