WHISTLER HOUSE
 TO BE RESTORED

Stonington, Conn. (UP) - Whist ler'S boyhood home, one of Ston- ington'S historic houses, built in 1788 by Amos Palmer and damaged by British shell in the lombard ment of 1914, has been sold and will be restored to its early Colonial beauty. The house was the residence of George Washington Whistler from 1887 to 1841, when the artist, his son, was a child.
 James McNeill Whistler was born in Lowell, Mass, July 10, 1884, where his father was engineer of canals and locks, in 1887 the father moved his family to Stonington. Psychologists who believe that ones most impressionable years the first seven undoubtedly trace the artists sence of color to his conditioning in the picturesque surroundings of his childhood days.
 Major Whistler, who is buried in Stonington, was commissioned in 1842 by Czar Nicholas I to build the railroad from St. Petersburg to Moscow after the Russian monarch | had sent agents over Europe and America for the best engineer.
 Built Rail Car
 While resident of Stonington, tradition says, he equipped chaise with car wheels to transport his family every Sunday an the newly laid railroad tracks to Westerly, four miles distant.
 The house has been sold for Miss Lillian Palmer, of Los Gates, Cal, to MT. and Mrs. Rodney Stuart, of Glen Ridge, N. J. Upon the death of the builder, it was inherited by the son, pr. George Palmer, who married a Miss McNeill, aunt of the artist.
 The fact that Whistler's celebrat- ed portrait of his mother had be- come symbol of ideal motherhood is a sentimental paradox in the light of 8 remark credited to the painter about his place of birth.
 During the trial of suit he brought against Ruskin for alleged slander of his art, Whistler in the witness chair gave St. Petersburg as his birthplace. His official biog- raphers declare he never denied the statement.
 Silent As to Birthplace
 Three years later, in 1881, a writer in a Paris journal gave Baltimore as his birthplace, mistake repeat ed many times. A friend who knew Whistler as a child asked him why he did not correct the error. "If anyone likes to think I was born in Baltimore, why should deny it? It is no consequence to me-" he re- piled.
 After Major Whistler's death in Russia in 1849, the mother returned to Connecticut with her family and sent James to a school in Pomfret, Christ Church hall. The headmas- ter was a West Point man. After two years, James was appointed to the military academy.
 Three years of West Point dis cipline were sufficient for the tenn peramental youth whose mother had planned for him a military career like his fathers. After a short service with the U. S. Coast Survey, he went abroad in 1855 and lived there most of his life.

CHAPTER XVII

When Ted returned home, three days after Christmas, Kay met him at the dock with Dickie at her side.
 "The little wife waiting with open arms!" she thought, as the giant flying ship settled down in the harbor and taXied up to the landing.
 Ted came to her, his tanned face beaming. He gathered her in his arms, and. for one quivering mo- ment, under the feeling of his hard embrace, she yielded completely to him again. But the moment was quickly gone.
 She began to talk of things that had happened since he had left.
 ''Was old Santa Claus good to you?" Ted said to Dickie. Sorry I didn't make it home with my presents in time for the tree but Two got them in my duffle bag"
 "I want an aviation helmet with 10000 hours in the air on it," Dickie said.
 .All right, you'll have mine" 4CA kCRAACO, A0A6AAA6' AN0 PA~S tically worn out anyway"
 And what do you want?" he said to Kay.
 She looked up at him. "You al- ways seem to know just what pleases me, Ted she said quietly.
 But nothing special? Nothing in jade to match those gorgeous eyes!"
 "Oh, Ted, don't tease!' she said. "O1 course I'm dying to see what you brought"
 He took a box from his pocket and opened it, disclosing the love- Hest jade bracelet she had ever seen.
 "oh, it's beautiful" She stood up on her toes and kissed him.
 But they were both strangely quiet during the drive back to the house built on the sands. Ted sensed that something had come between them.
 He said, Darling. you're not worried about anything?"
 "No.'
 "Did I miss big Christmas din- ner? Whom did you invite?'
 "DorlS and her croWd. Ana, or course, Jerry"
 I'm glad you asked Jerry Ted said. We hadn't missed a Christi mas dinner together for almost 20 years
 Kay laughed. That's what he kept telling us. I'm afraid he talked too much. He told what a gay dog you were in Paris in wartime"
 Ted smiled. Good old Jerry"
 People drifted in during the evening" Kay said, and then we went to the Palace and danced un- til almost morning"
 Ted gave her a quick look. gsWe-?"

BEGIN HERE TO-DAY
By Deck Morgan

KAY DUNN, pretty airplane stewardness, falls in love with TED GRAHAM, veteran pilot who flies the trans-Pacific route.
 Ted, however, is not interested in romance. He is devoted to two interests: his job in the air service adn his adopted son, DICKIE, 2 years old, Dickie and Kay become close friends and soon the three spend much time together.
 One night Kay and Ted have a long talk in which he explains his views on marriage. To be Suc- cessful, he says, a marriage must be planned scientifically, just as a plane flight. Kay does not agree to all this, but when he asks her to marry him she says yes.
 The marriage takes place and tIte honeymoon is flight to the Orient. Later, with Ted away for weeks at 3 time, Kay is lonely. She tries to keep busy, caring for her home and for Dickie. Ted is working on an invention, when he is in port, spends less and less time at home.
 Kay is deeply disappointed be- cause he is unable to be home for Christmas. She gives a dinner party and later goes with three friends DORIS LEE, RALPH BANGS and MONTE BLAINE, to dance.

FRsr cAuReHH SALEM

~ FIRST CHURCH. AT oALEM THE Puritans had come to A America to seek the freedom of religious worship that England had begrudged them. But when they got here, the same religious intolerance prevailed among them.
 Rebelling from such narrow views, Roger Williams, young Welsh-born pastor of Salem, sought a more liberal attitude and was banished from the colony in l635. Journeying southward, he came to Narragansett Bay, where he bought some land from the In- dians and established what is now Providence, R. I. Other settlers came and set up the foundation of Rhode Island.
 In l639, Williams established the first Baptist congregation in America. He treated the Indians with kindness, and continued to denounce religious persecution. He r--------7 died in 1883, \ at the age of
 79.

The Griffs have come to a
stage in the development of the
pitchers now where Harris will
start extending their work from
three innings to five, and extend.
ing the period of work until they
are ready to go the route.
Harris thinks that Newsom
could pitch six innings at major
league speed without injuring his
arm. Eddie Linke probably could
do the same. We will know more
about DeShong this afternoon,
and also Monte Weaver, the last
named has shown more stuff
than at any time since 1888, and
Harris is optimistic over his pos
sibilities for the season.
There has been a great deal of
this and that concerning the con-
dition of Earl Whitehills sore
arm. Whitehill says it's sore and
Harris, supported by Mike Mar
tin says it isn't. Whitehill comes
back with a snorting rejoinder
that it's his arm, and by cracky,

and so is Texas" Jack Russell.
The youngsters have yet to estab-
lish themselves. They've been
wild and ineffective for the most
part.
Harris was without information
on the Phillie pitching selections
for the day. In all probability,
however, we will look at Moore

Tad Howard expects the largest
crowd of the season when the
MaSonS and the Knights of Co.
lumbus bowlers clash tomorrow
in the opening five-game block of
a 10-game series at his Rem
devious Alleys. The match will
be concluded at Convention Hall,
April 4.
The match should offer plenty
of color as dignitaries of both
fraternal orders will be inter
ested spectators.
Outclassed for two years the
Masons' lineup will hardly reSem-
BILE the team which the CaSeys
defeated by an overwhelming
score of 3,O78 to 1884 last March
at Convention Hall.
In an effort to turn the tide in
their favor Leo Speer, president OF
the Masonic League and Arville
EberSole, secretary, who are co,
captains. have added Sam Simon,
Whip Litchfield and Preston Ellis,
who for two years have been in
eligible. Irvine Billhimer, Bill
Wolfe and Charlie Phillips who
rolled in the two previous affairs
have again won places on the
team.
Forced to the sidelines this sea-
son after 20 years of rolling, Joe
McGolrick, captain of both win
ming knights of Columbus teams
has turned the reins over to Fred
die Moore, who like McGolrick, is
a veteran topnotcher
The new leader will have such
howitzers as Eddie Espey, Tony
Santini, Norman !Schroth, Frank
Mischou and Joe Pricci to defend
the Casey'S championship. Schroth
was the star of the first match,
rolling 162 and 633. Tony Santini
supplied the fireworks in the sec.

173 and 664.

the mcst unorthodox on record,
and in the ring he had an ape
like waddle so lacking in grace
that he was target for every
fast man who met him.
Sharkey Had Bad Night
You naturally ask then, how did
he happen to win the champion
ship from Sharkey. There are
many versions to that circum-
stance. The most logical one is
that a lot of terrible fighters beat
.Sharkey who could turn in more
bad fights in his hot and cold
career than any champion we have
had. Sharkey could look swell
when he was having his night up
there under the lights, but for
every good fight he registered, he
rewarded his followers with two
or three bloomers.
He must have been in the latter
mood the night he dropped the
title to Carnera, because previous
to that Sharkey had given Camera
q Sparrin9 lesson which lasted Is
hectic rounds.
: And none who saw Sharkey
drop in the sixth round of his Sec
Ond fight with Primo, will ever for
get the look OF surprise on Primo's
face when Jack went down to stay.
The big fellow couldn't realize
what had happened-there he was,
up there in the ring half naked
before 10000 people, the worlds
heavyweight champion. He acted
like kid. He had become cham

Your reporter has been waiting

has been wild. He was bothered

but there was no wind yesterday.
Lanahan had plenty of stuff on

Orioles made two hits off him.
But he was pitching uphill all
