He had another short one.
Terry lounged against the wall

Evans lounged against the wall,
too. After a little space, Terry
said, We'll, let's get along and
turned on his heel.
He glanced back in time to see
Evans slump forward and slide
down the wall Then he walked
back, took Evans by the shoul

off his street clothes.

Jones was almost dressed.
THE rest is history. The Mon
archs, coming out for that
fateful last period, were men pos
sessed. They played beyond them
selves, such hockey as they never
played before. AS a team they
were spectacular, superb. But
mostly it was Jones.
Things really began to happen.
They tied the score with smart
hockey and sound psychology.
And there were still eleven odd
minutes to play. Every move was
bitterly contested, and penalties
were frequent.
A minute and a half from the
end there was brief pause while
the Blue-shirts changed forward
lines.
Clark skated alongside of Jones

Jones faced about quickly. He
opened his mouth to protest, then
stopped.
Whats the matter?" Woody
asked sharply.
Nothing"
"Yes, there is, too. Quick"
IF we lay back now, we're

his head toward the other Mon
archs. Look at EN-! They're

his position.
Finally Frank Jones got pos

time only for a quick long shot
that struck the goalie's shinpads

Oh, yes. you've heard Of him,
the outstanding defenseman of
the National Hockey League, but
you probably never heard how he
got his nickname of "Kidnap"
Six years ago, when he was
eighteen and playing amateur
hockey in a little Ontario mining
town, Frank Jones first met Terry
Stuart, of the Chronicle. In the
dressing room of a small-town
hockey rink-a two-by-four kind
of room, draughty and chilly, fol-
lowing a game q which Jones
had acquitted himself particularly
well.
He recognized Terry as soon as
he came into the room ("Sport
Scraps" by Terry Stuart, with his
picture at the top of the column
Clad only in a disreputable
towel, Jones was halfway to the
makeshift shower. hit he stopped
at sight of Terry and favored him
with grin.
Terry said. Jones? I'm Stuart
of the Chronicle"
But Jones was not visibly i'm
pressed. Down from Toronto for
the game ?" he asked.
"Well-just happened to be
passing through, and dropped
off" Terry explained cautiously
No use taking a chance giving
the kid a swelled head.
Jones let that pass. What did
you think of me" he inquired
casually.
Terry's eyebrows went up a
quarter of an inch. Here was
something new. AS a rule anna
teur athletes cultivated Terry
very carefully, and then after a
couple of weeks mentioned difi-
dently, IF you could give me a
line or so in your column-any
kind of a boost 1t would help a
lot, and I'd appreciate 1t -.
They usually stopped there, with
ering under Terry's appraising
stare.
He said now, You were pretty
fair, but you're sucker for
hook check, aren't you?"
Yeah" Jones agreed easily.
I've tried every way, but l can't
seem TO figure it out. Now. if
had the proper coaching
Terry thought, What the hell
There's no stopping this buy" He
had a sudden notion to drop the
whole thing, but almost immedi-
ately he decided against it.
For the kid was good. A frac-
ton under six feet, and weighing
one-sixty-seven-at eighteen. He
had personality. too, that made
him tremendously popular, and
when he took the puck on his
stick and flashed down the ice
on a solo rush, the crowd came to
its feet as one man, roaring his
name.
Terry said caustically, That's
right. If Bill Haney took you
under his wing, you'd make King
Kennedy look like somebody's
doddering great-uncle."
Sure l would" Jones began,
and stopped. He said, You're
kidding me"
Terry's eyes went wide. Now
why on earth would l do that ?"
"Aw," Jones said, his face red.
But that's a fact, just the same.
Because look"
Terry Stuart looked.
And at the end of half an hour
they were friends. In that half
hour Jones had told about him
self: his hopes and ambitions
for it developed that he was not
really conceited, but gloriously
without conceit, knowing he was
good and admitting it-but most
of all how he wanted to play on
an Allan Cup team, which is to
say the amateur championship
team of Canada.
Terry's first move when he got
back to town was to look up

sity product, who was facing his
first big crowd, starting his first
big league game, and pitching
against a rookie twirler who had
his name plastered from here
to yonder and back again which
may be only psychological, but
important nevertheless.
Bucky and Bob Teller pitched
eye to eye and cheek to jowl
for three very tight innings be-
fore the holocaust broke loose,
and just as I admire Feller for
striking out two with the bases
damned in the ninth, so I ad-
mire Jacobs for retiring Cleve-
land in the first and third in
nings, after the first man up
had hit the first pitched ball
for a double.
1t is not easy to pitch steady
ball with a runner in back OF
you off second. Such are very
tense and trying moments for
any hurler, young or seasoned.
Why, you can't even see the
runner out of the corner of your
eye, and after all, second base is
a very advantageous position for
the first batter, just as it is a
very precarious situation for the
pitcher who permitted him to
get there.
More praise then, for him who
gets himself out of such tight
spots. Jacobs did it twice!
Kid Did 0. K.
Jacobs needs no consolation
from anyone. In view Of his expert
ence and some of the natural hit
tiers on the Cleveland team he did
all right. 1 don't think anyone eX-
pected him to win his game, nor
do I think anyone honestly ex-
pected Teller to turn in the per-
Torrance he did.
It was, as I understand it, Eel
ler's fourth full game, he having
lost the previous three at the ratio
of 2 to Detroit and l to the Yank-
eeS.
I can report to you, as a final
gesture, the fact that yesterdays
game proved to Jacobs that he
needs some minor league season
ing, and if he could pick out the
team to which he'd like to be sent.
he'd go today.
That team is his own native
Richmond outfit, but of course
Uncle Clark Griffith will not send
him to Richmond.
If Bucky wishes to yield the
clause in his contract that pro-
hibits him being sent hence this
year, Griff would oblige by ship
ping him down to his Charlotte
team-but Richmond

rains last night for a turn around
their usual bright light circuit.

about the conversation, however,
although the entertainers at every
spot did their darnedest to ease
the tension of the flood situation.
One chap in particular, survivor
of the last JohnstoWn flood, tried
to salve the anxious feelings of
his compatriots, but he soon
proved he was only acting. And
so the music played on, but the
guests dragged behind the tempo.
Tonight being Wednesday, and
usually time for lots of fun and

period for a good old-fashioned

lead and mix carefully the follow

Method of Fixing
Retail Prices
Explained

The method of trial and error
by which retailers determine the
prices of articles was explained at
the United States Chamber Of
Commerce luncheon today at the
Mayflower Hotel by Kenneth
Collins. vice president of one of
New Yorks largest department
stores.
Speaking before a large audi.
ence, Mr.. Collins declared prices
maintained by retailers were de-
termined actually by the con-
sumner. The retailer establishes
prices by a constant and never
ending series of experiments"
with the ability of the consumer
to buy, he said. Taking specific
examples, Mr.. Collins showed how
a store determined whether its
customers wanted better quality
in products.
Defending the retailer against
attacks of the manufacturers who
charge the retailer is arbitrary in
the manner he fixes prices, he
showed that retail prices were the
result of conclusions made after
long periods of investigation.

And for those of our rural
friends, or the more virile of local
devotees, we timidly venture to
suggest a trip to River Bend,
Stone Villa, Boulevard Farms,
Maryland Club Gardens or Casa
Grande. The roadways to and fro
may be just little damp, but you
can wager anything the folks in
charge will provide a snug and
poppy round of entertainment for
those who make the grade.

CANNON URGES
BUDGET SLASH
international News Service


A Is per cent cut in all appro-
priationS for the next fiscal year,
with the President having author
ity to make exceptions, was pro-
posed today by Representative
Cannon Cd, of Missouri, as
means of balancing the Federal
budget.
He offered the proposal follow
ing conferences at the White
House and Budget Bureau and
with other House leaders. The
plan is reported to have Budget
Bureau approval.
A counter Republican move,
made by Representative Taber, Of
New York, ranking Republican on
the Appropriations Committee of
which cannon is a leader, also was
before the House. Taber urged
passage of a resolution requesting
the President to Immediately sub.
nit recommendations to Congress
for revision OF the Presidents own
budget.
The plan would entail IS per
cent pay cut for all Government
employees, including members Of
Congress, unless the President
made an exception.
