Here was something stunning; here

home that back way every night
after he's been to see her, SO nobody

his gal-you beat it out to see your
mother. You're a nice dutiful ma
mas boy, only you're not living at
home. No, you've got your own
place in town and you leave her
alone with the chickens. You park
your flivver where it's handy to the
lane; then you frame an alibi by
calling on the old lady. But you
take pains to duck just before Eth
ridge is due home. Fine It's a
wonder you didn't set the clock
back when she wasn't looking and
call her attention to it. They US
ually do.
But you get a bad break-one
in a thousand. Your mother goes
up the road in time to see you give
Ethridge the works. Tough for
you she wasn't close enough to rec
ognize your voire or see yohr fare;
she'd have vept her month slosed
if she had no doubt. Women are
like that. But not knowing you
had a car, she spills everything to
Mr.. Vcgel, and he plays her just
right. We have you covered before
he brbings her into town. And by
the way, remember the two wops
that talked to you the night you
went back to hide yiur tracks in
case she suspected you. Your right
headlight was out that night, too.
Why, man, everything checks up,
even to the white robe, or MANTLE
as she calls it! We find this light

was sufficiently scandalous to de-

the identity of the slayer was a
genuine surprise. A wicked roue,
a seductive actress, a Cupid's bower

GIANTS HOPE FOR WIN

game by Hubbell'S amaZ-
ing repertoire, have now won
three straight and need only the
fourth this afternoon to close out
the account. It did not seem feaS-
ible that they would fail. for the
Yankees proved yesterday against
Hubbell'S Subnormal performance
that they will hit any pitching
that isn't perfect-and Hal Schu-
macher, today's nominee, hardly
can be looked for to furnish any,
thing like that.
Schumacher failed to finish the
third inning on Friday. Charley
Ruffing, his scheduled opponent,
pitched with exceeding dizziness
against Hubbell in the Baden
Baden baths everybody had to
take on opening day. There was
the further fact that the Yankees
now had three winners with which
to face three losers and, finally,
the disQuieting but inescapable i'm
preston that the Giants, after
all. were and are only the carl
CaCure OF ball club.
They haven't hit the pitching
Of Ruffi1g. Gomez. Hadley and
Pearson partly because the
Giants can't hit any. Terry had
to walk into forced out at sec
ond base yesterday at an impor-
tant juncture, because his elderly
sinews wouldn't stand for any
thing more violent. Jackson is
pitiful at the plate and can't
come up with anything in the
field that isn't hit right into. his
bosom.
He seemed to be blinded by the
sun in going after Powell's high
bounder in the second inning, and
this ultimately was turned into
the first run OF the game. Incl
dentally, IT was the first time in
the history of the world that a
player has lost a ground ball in
the sun. The rest of the outfit,
barring OFT, Mancuso and Bartell,
may wind up in Sioux City any
