Whether such meeting could be
arranged, even if Jacobs is success
full in his quest for the 500 grand, is
another question. Jack Dempsey
gave it as his opinion that "Max
Baer never should be given a chance
at Louis again. The match wouldn't
draw and anyway I don't think any
athletic commission would sanction
it."
A more likely challenger for the
heavyweight championship would
come from the field of aspiring
youngsters who are rapidly pushing
such veterans as Baer, Tommy
Farr, Max Schmeling and Tony Ga
lento out of the picture. These new
corners include Lou Nova of Cali
fornia, Gunnar Barlund of Finland,
Bob Pastor of New York, Jimmy
Adamick of Detroit and Maurice
Strickland of New Zealand.
Lou Nova in particular has proved
that he's no fash-in-the-pan. The
crack coast heavyweight has had
an extremely rapid development in
the two years since he turned pro-
fessional, after winning the inter-
national amateur heavyweight box
ing title in Paris.
In close to Is fights as pro his
only setback came on a disputed
decision to Make Rosenbloom
Nova's greatest triumph was his
knockout of Bob Nestell, after Mes

Pastor. His record also includes
victories over Lee Ramage, Phil
Brubaker, Salvatore Ruggirello and
Sonny Walker.

I afterwards found I had run a
quarter of a mile, which shows, I
think, that fear can lend a man
strength which he does not possess.
Be that as it may, I laid the girl
down as gently as knew how-and
then lay down beside her to get my
breath.
Of course I knew who she was
and I knew had seen an attempt
to carry her off. And knew that

had succeeded-with all my heart.
From the way she had lain in my
arms I was sure that she was not
dead, but I felt that she ought to
have water, to bring her to life. And
then / heard the speech of rin :.
Two minutes later, perhaps, a
hand went up to her head.
''It's all right" said I, ''lie still.

Lady Elizabeth Virgil opened two
large, gray eyes.
''The dog" she said. "Who was

stopped when he saw you come
down."
"And Caesar?" she cried, sitting
up. "Where's Caesar-the horse I
was riding?"
''Unhurt," said I. ''He may be
going spare, but he's not going
short. And now will you please lie
down and let me look round?"
After steady stare, she did as
I said.
I got to my knees and peered
through the tops of the bracken, but
all was still.
AS I sat back on my heels
''Why did you want to look
round?"
Because you are still in danger.
You were brought down on pur-
pose. A wire was across the ride. +"
Lady Elizabeth looked at me very
hard.
''How do you known"
'T saw it taken away. I saw the

There was little silence.
Then
"Who arranged this melo-

the White Sox they swept q two
game series. and they poured it on
to the Browns by mopping up three
game series.
Weaver Unlucky as SOx Win.
One thing the Red Sox series proved
to Harris was that his club lacks a
starting pitcher. That is why he is
going to take another look at Chase.
The young man with the wild fast
ball always has been known as a slow
starter, which perhaps accounts for
his mediocre performances this spring.
What he will do now. with the season
going into its second month, remains
to be seen.
Weaver gave the Griffs fair sort
OF a game yesterday. He outpitched
Bob Grove, allowing only hits
to 13, but Grove ended the winner,
claiming his sixth straight victory.
1t was Boston's eighth consecutive TIL
umph. incidentally. and enabled the
Sox to increase their lead to one and
one-half games over the Yankees and
Indians. who are tied and who both
were rained out again yesterday.
Singles by Chapman and Foxx and
a walk to Vosmik brought Boston
10 lead in the first inning, but in the
third Buddy Lewis collected the first
of three singles against Grove and
Zeke Bonura hit a home run, making
it 81. In the sixth inning a walk
to Foxx and Cronin's triple with one
out tied the score. Then on Higgins
double Cronin scored, to put the Bos-
ton Sox ahead, 80.
Washington tied the game for the
second time in the seventh, which
Lewis opened with q single. On Al
Simmons single the youngster raced
to third, from where he scored as
Bonura hit into a double play.
1t fell to the lot Of the weak-hitting
Gene Desautels to emerge as the hero.
Cronin singled to start the eighth
inning and Higgins sacrificed him.
Doerr flied out for the second out,
but Desautels lined a single down the
left-field line. chasing Cronin across
with the decisive run.

.EAST'S OAR TITLE
STAKED SATURDAY
Navy, Harvard and Penn Go
for Adams Cup in Race

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 16.-For the
second time in as many years the
Easts rowing leadership will be at
stake Saturday when Navy. Harvard
and Penn clash in the Adams Cup
race at Annapolis.
The quality of the crews in this
regatta dwarfs the second major
heavyweight race of the day. the Car
negie Cup at Ithaca, N. Y, with Yale,
Cornell and Princeton competing, the
race between Syracuse and Rutgers at
Syracuse and several lightweight
clashes.
Harvard and Penn put the finishing
touches Of their preparation for the
joust with Navy last Saturday Har-
ward whipped Cornell's big crew by a
length and quarter on the Charles,
with Syracuse and Massachusetts,
Tech third and fourth. while Penn
captured the Childs Cup by defeat
ing Princeton and Columbia handily.
Navy Shows Class.
Navy did not row Saturday. but it
has done enough to show it is another
fine Walsh crew. Thus far this sea-
son Navy has beaten Cornell, Syra-
cuse, Columbia and Princeton. Last
year in the Adams Cup race it clinched
the Eastern sprint championship by

over Cornell than that attained by
Navy as evidence. Navy, on the other
hand, claims its new power more
than will Offset any lack of smooth
ness and that the Tars are a better
spring crew than the 1888 eight, in
addition to being better fitted for a
4-mile race.
Penn May Surprise.
Penn, which finished second to Yale
in the Blackwell Cup race. came back
Saturday to prove itself seaworthy
crew. Princeton, which has great
deal OF heart but little else, never
really threatened the Quakers and
Columbia was out of it after the first
quarter mile.
The Red and Blue necessarily will
not be rated on par with Harvard
and Navy, but there is good chance
for a surprise, especially If rough
water develops. Penn is steady and,
although light, rows we'll under poor
conditions.
