mark, when the baseball writers were riding him, about $25 a week reporters trying to run his business. This statement, uttered in mo- ment of pique, caused him much misery and many headaches.
 Now William has come along with another one. Questioned recently as to the Giants chances of winning the National league confalon. ss we call the bunting in our set, he was quoted as replying:
 If we don't win the pennant this year, I'll sign up with the House of David nine"
 Now that is strictly another one of those homing pigeon utterances. Reading it, you can almost see the wings, pin feathers, and beak on each word. If the day comes when the Giants are mathema tically barred from winning the pennant, that utterance will circle overhead three times and flutter down in Williams long-suffering noggin.
 Of course, William can kill the pigeons" by bringing those Giants home in front, and right now every thing is very lovely, indeed, up in Harlem under the lee of Coogan's bluff. The Giants are out in front by two and half games, and can't lose for winning. But this mad dash by the young men of Manhattan isn't quite as dashinhg as it would seem, for since the season opened they haven't played anything more competent than an assorted selec- tion of Bees, Butterflies, Phillies, and Robins. You're supposed to lick that sort of opposition. When a bee or a robin bites you, that's news
 Unfortunately for the Giants they can't play around with flora and fauna forever. The time is coming when they will have to play a couple of baseball teams. ] mean, of course, the Cards and the Cubs, with their Hermans and Galans, Hartnetts and Warnekes Deans and Medwicks, Collinses and Demarees. The Giants will find these gents a bit different from the talent which goes through the mo- tions for the combined Bee, Philly, and Robin circus.
 Of course, the Giants may fool me, and tame the tough 'uns this year, too. Nevertheless, I have a note in my future engagements book to call on William on the afternoon of September 13 (the Cards open here that day) and see how his beard is coming along. They won't let you on that House of David out fit unless you have a beard, you know.

ALVAREZ STOOGE
 OF TRUST, CLAIM PRIOR CONTRACT
Columbus Promoter Cited as Defendant = Shikat
 Shaken for $I8,OOO

Columbus, O., April 2S--(UP)-A claimant of the worlds heavyweight wrestling championship, Dick Shikat of New York, and one of the mid- vests leading promoters, Al Halt of Columbus, will transfer their maneuvers from mat affairs today to the United States federal court room of Judge Nell G. Underwood.
 Shikat and Haft will appear for the hearing of a temporary restrain ing order granted against them Monday at the request of Joe AL varez, Boston promoter.
 Alvarez obtained the restraining order after he alleged Shikat broke a contract with him through fail- ure to keep a match scheduled TOT April 6 under the auspices of Ray Fabian Sports, Inc, of Philadelphia.
 Alvarez alleged Shikat later failed to keep other matches made for him under an agreement he claimed was signed February 13, 1884, and was to run for five years.
 Haft was named Q defendant for the alleged aid he gave Shikat in securing matches.
 Shikat precipitated war between powerful eastern wrestling interests and a midwest group headed by Haft, when he pinned Danno OMa- honey in Madison Square and then became allied with the Columbus promoter.
 Shikat alleges the contract AL varez holds for his services was signed under d,lress and by fraud.
 If necessary to win his right to return to the mat, the title claim ant today promised to "blow the lid off the manipulations of the wrest- ling trust"
 Shikat said at one time he was under the management of "Toots" Mondt, at present 8 Pacific coast promoter but then the sponsor of matches in New York, and claimed that upon signing with Mondt he was forced to deposit $18,000 with him. He has threatened to disclose the significance of the deposit in his testimony.
 In his petition, Alvarez seeks to have Shikat prohibited from wrest- ling, motion picture or theatrical appearances in the United States, Canada, Cuba, Mexico and Europe. clever New York Jewish boy, whose bobbing defense prevented a knock

The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-04-23

To keep the club inside the line of flight on the downswing, three things must be done.
 First, the hips must be shifted quickly toward the front along the line of play. Second, the right el- bow, if it has wandered, must return to the side of the body. Third, the hands must be moved a few inches downward without strengthening, or starting to straighten, the wrists.
 If this sort of start is made, the rest is easy.

CHAPTER THIRTY TWO

A FTERWARD Toby thought she
L n managed very well. If she hesi-
tated for an instant, if her voice
was not quite as level as it should
have been, there was no sign of dis
concertion in her face as she said.
We'll, hello, Tim-what a surprise
to see you'll"
Its surprise to see you, too"
he told her. Il thought you must
be out of town. You seem to have
stopped answering telephone calls:
at least you don't answer when I
CALL"
He would say that, of course. Toby
didn't believe that Tim had tele-
phoned. Probably he didn't expect
her to believe it. But, being Tim,
ne would say it, nevertheless.
I'm sorry" she told him regret
fully-politely regretfully as one is,
speaking to an acquaintance rather
than to a friend. IF you called
and no one answered, I must have
been out somewhere. Harriet's awav.
so there's no one to take messages. y
Where's Harriet?"
up in the country. She'd been
working too hard and needed a
rest"
THE traffic light flashed red
l. then, and they crossed the
street.
Where's you bound for, Gorge
GUS" Tim asked.
She changed her plans abruptly.
She didn't want to say that she was
going to a movie to escape the heat.
So, instead, she said, "57th-st. It's
the day for the beauty shop"
Beauty shop! That's the last
place I'd say you'd need to CO."
once the compliment would have
thrilled her. Now Toby knew how
easily Tim said such things-and
how little they meant.
"Oh, there's always the upkeep,"
she told him lightly.
Tim turned to her appraisingly.
II don't think you need to worry
about the original job or the up :
keep, either. AS it happens, I'm
headed in the same direction my
self. Mind if I walk along with
you?"
"Of course not"
They went on in silence for sew
eral moments. Suddenly Tim said.
oh, by the way, Gorgeous, I've
noticed you've taken to decorating
the news stands. Decorating them
very nicely, too. That picture of
you on the cover of Che

Thanks. That was one of Dur

l. Enthusiastically. And you can
take that more than one way"
Oh, yes, flattery came easily to
him. Why hadn't she understood
long before that words spoken so
easily must be as lightly meant?
This is the place" she said. This
is where 1 leave you. It's nice to
have seen you, Tim"
Wait minute" he said. How
about hunting up a cool roof this
evening, doing bit of dancing,
maybe? Don't you think it's time
we did something like that? do"
She shook her head, smiling.
Sorry, Tim, but I couldn't. I'm
going to be busy tonight"
Then how about tomorrow"
I'm afraid not"
Have heart, Gorgeous!" he
urged. I've been trying to see you
for weeks; honestly have. Don't
turn me down, now that I've found
you. Come on--let's make it a date
for tomorrow"
But I can't, Tim. Really. I've
got G date for tomorrow.
Cant you break it,"
mot very well"
you mean you don't want to. Is
that the idea?"
mo, that's not it"
WHY was she denying it, since
w it was true? She didn't have

either. She was saying she had
because she had made up her mind
she would not let Tim Jameson
coax her into agreeing to see him
again.
We'll, maybe you'll change your
mind" Tim suggested. Girls have
been known to do that. Anyhow,
I'm going to give you a call to-
morrow"
"All right. You can do that.
Good-by, Tim"

NC LCdIlllS 1IOuI illC.
Toby went into the building and
stepped into an elevator. Since she
was here. she decided, she might
as well go up and let Charles do
her hair. On such hot afternoon
there would be no difficulty about
an appointment. And she really
hadn't wanted to see that movie,
anyhow.
Sitting with the waves carefully
pressed into her hair, waiting for
them to dry, Toby made up her
mind about one thing.
She would not stay home, waiting
for Tim Jameson to telephone. She
had done that once; she would
never do it again. Tins part in
her life had come to a finish and it
was going to stay that way. Prob
ably he wouldn't call. Whether he
did or not, she would not be home.
nor two days she invented ex-
l. cuses to keep her away from
the apartment. She went on shop
ping trips. She had a call from the
Models League and spent several
hourS-the hottest part of a. terri
fically hot day-bundled up in one
fur coat after another, posing before
a camera. The coats would not ap-
pear in shops until August, but
they had to be photographed iii
June.
She fingered in the League Office,
lunched with a girl she did not par
ticularly like. Bill Brandt took her
to play she had said she wanted
to see, but the night was so warm
neither of them enjoyed the per-
Torrance.
Finally, Toby's sense of humor
came to her rescue. 1t was ridicu-
lous to stay away from home because
of Tim, and suddenly she saw that
Probably he hadn't called, or, if
