before University of Georgia graduates, urged south
ern men to measure up to the triple ideal of the
scholar, the gentleman and the judge of good whis-
key"
The speaker stated: when the concepts Of this
phrase were widely realized in the lives of her sons,
the South bristled with distinction. Insofar as these
ideals have fallen into desuetude, the South has drifted
into mediocrity."
He said this section twill regain eminence only as
its leaders climb again to the triple peaks of this homey
epigram," adding he felt this trilogy was the goal OF
education and the proper standard by which this uni
versity may Judge its graduates and students and by
which you may Judge yourselves"
This is just about as absurd a statement as we have
ever heard. That any man should make such state
ments and honestly believe them himself automatically
makes him a member of the Brain Trust.
If the south regains it's eminence only as its man
become scholars, gentlemen and judges of good whis
key it will be a long time before we get there.
We will become scholars only as our economic con
ditions are bettered with more opportunities for all.
Our men already are gentlemen.
AS for judges Of good whiskey we would say they
measure up one hundred per cent. The trouble is
with 8 cent cotton) how can you buy good whiskey?
And SO it goes.
1t seems to us DR.. Embree woul have made a lot
better impression on the south had he stayed in Chi
cago and kept his mouth closed.
If he had told those University Of Georgia grad
yates their opportunities are limited in the south as
long as we struggle under the obstacles Of unfair freight
rates, high protective tariff and a variety of other
things imposed on US by a greedy North and the Re-
worth listening to. Had he told these graduates to
stay in the land Of their birth and help pull it up to
time evils, then he would have performed a service and
would have earned our gratitude. But he didn't.
What does a southern university want with a Chi
cago commencement speaker, anyway

SARASOTA, Fla, March 28.-Ted Williams, Bostons young outfielder, has yet to feel the sharp scrape of keen razor and the glowing flush of a warm, wet towel banked about his jowls.
 There's a bit of soft fuzzy down on his chin but the 19-year-old out fielder from San Diego says he won't be in the market for 9 shave for some time.
 Williams is the kid Pacific coast writers tabbed as a second Di- Maggie, Tom Yawkey of the Red Sox unbundled a roll of bank notes and a couple of players to ou bid other clubs for him. But Ted is a trifle upset by all this praise. He thinks the scribes poured it on too thick. I'm just a punk trying to get along he grins.
 I've never even seen DiMag- gio play but from all I have read about him. I know I'm not in his class yet
 When He Crews Up
 Ted is a beanpole, 6-foot-3 and ITS pounds. But when he grows up and that lanky frame fills out he's going to be some pumpkin. He is just year off the sandlots. Ted turned down scholarship at the University of Southern Cali fornia for a whirl with San Diego and woke up to find himself in T major league uniform.
 That long trip east was quite a sightseeing expedition for him. He'd never been east of California be- fore
 He feels he owes a lot to Lefty ODoul, manager of the Seals. It's this way: Williams was doing quite a bit of bench-sitting until O'Doul made an offer for him. Then San Diego suddenly realized he might be fancy package and poked him into the outfield. If Lefty hadn't popped up with 2 bid Ted might still be getting bench splin- ters in his pants.
 His biggest thrills last year came when he hit two home runs in game three times. He was fifth in the league in runs batted in. And he hit 291, belting out g hOmers.
 Needed: Experience
 T should have hit better, but I've got a lazy disposition and when the jockeys out there start ed riding me I got discouraged and for awhile just didn't give a darn
 He's a pull ball hitter. They say I'm wrist hitter. I take a medi- um-sized cut at the ball and don't try to kill it every time"
 He was a pitcher in Hoover higt school in San Diego but when he turned pro they took look at his batting average-.439 for three years and promptly directed him to the outfield
 Williams is afraid the Red Soz have too much outfield talent -- Cramer, Chapman and Vosmik-foi him to break in as regular this year.
 And if I can't get in games pretty regularly, I'd rather they'c ship me to the minors for an other season. guess I could stand some more experience"

 ORLANDO, Fla, March 28.-Hop- ping about the Palmetto belt from one baseball training camp to an- other, I've bumped into rookie pitchers whove got something very, very few of their major-league bet tefs can boast-no-hit games tackled onto their record
 Here in Orlando there's young ster barely of voting age who tossed two perfect games last sea- son. Two in year-and there are hundreds of pitchers who twist 'em over the platter for lifetime and never come close.
 He's black haired, 170 = pound Joe Kohlman of the Washington Senators. This right-hander flung for Salisbury, Md, in the Eastern Shore league. Now that circuit as you've probably suspected, is quite a ways down the baseball ladder, but a no-hitter is a mo- hitter and tops in any league, even if it's a tiddle-de -winks loop.
 He May Net Make It
 And this quiet, not overly strong boy turned in the greatest winning streak in baseball's history. He won 25 games in row

 Then there was nothing else to say, 60 she gave him her hand In farewell. The closing of the door was so final, SO definite, that she wanted suddenly to run after him, to shout that he mustn't go. But she couldn't do that. She stood in the quiet living room, and now the tears came. Why hadn't she been able to love Jack? He was everything any girl in her right mind would want. Even Diane had said he was the best bet on the lot. But the wayward heart cried for someone else. Someone who didn't even konw she was alive = except as convenience.

 "Callers?" She sat up, rubbed her eyes. "Who is it?" Her moth- CT said gently, Dwight Campbell and his fiancee."
 Dwight? What can he want?"
 She changed quickly. She made her mouth red with lipstick, and put rouge on her cheeks. When she greeted Dwight and Marvel, she was smiling and casual. "This is a surprise!" she said. And then ''What can I do for you?"
 Marvel said, T do hope you're not going to mind our barging in like this. You see, I received a wire from my friend in New York the girl who was going to be my maid-of- -honor and she can't come.

 He said gently, Judy, I can't stay here and see you unhappy I love you, I want to marry you But if you don't feel the same way about me, the most sensible thing is to cut it short"

 "Oh, Judy, won't you come tc Pensacola with me? We could be married here go away from everything that would remind you" He hadn't meant to say that, she sensed swiftly.

CHAPTER TX

They're merely making light conversation" Diane said. All you have to do is look at them and see that"
 Judy felt a hard knot in her breast, and she said, "It's probably harmless and innocent. One of her friends from Los Angeles"
 But she knew, watching Mar vel's face, that it was more than that. And she knew that Diane knew it. Where was Dwight? Why was Marvel lunching with this man, flirting with him, when she was engaged to Dwight?
 In a moment, Judy had recovered her equilibrium, She slipped her cof- fee and said, "Oh, goodness, even an engaged girl has the right to lunch with another man. We're both act ing as though we'd found her in a secret love nest. Come, come! It's probably an old friend, nothing in 1t :"
 Diane's eyes were twinkling "Of course!" she said. And Marvel's not flirting with him. Not herl"
 "She cant help flirting. She even coquetted a little with my father. She's the kind who makes eyes at anything male, from to 8Ol"
 That sounds very suspicious for Dwight" said Diane.
 We're couple of cats. Per- haps we should have ordered a saucer of cream apiece"
 They laughed together, but Judy exercised all her self-control not to look again at the engrossed two sitting at the other table. At last they were finished with the meal, and Diane picked up her package of diapers and they went out. Marvel had not seen them. Judy was glad of that.
 Her interest in shopping for hat for Diane had Tagged. She kept seeing Marvels face, hearing the lightness of her laugh. That mans hand on the table had been so close to Marvel's rednailed fingers. There was something be- tween them as If they shared a delightful, forbidden secret.
 You're imagining things!" Judy said to herself harshly, and she picked up a blue straw that was lyiig on table and asked Diane, How about this one? It's cute"
 It was cute, but the price tag sail $1O Diane tried it on. It was most becoming, with her dark hair and rose-olive skin. She took it of, regretfully. Not on Bills pay" she said. That's what you get when you marry into the Navy

 Dianes eyes fingered on the blue hat. q told Bill he should have married money" she said. T suppose I should have, too. That's the dickens of love- You forget about money" She frightened Bill thinks I'm beautiful in a sum bonnet. Come on. Tim not going to buy a hat after all. I've got last years, and it's good enough to push baby carriage in"
 They drove back. The sun was high, now, and the morning that had been only pleasantly warm had turned into a day that was really hot. Diane was fretting about the baby. He ought to be out getting vitamins." Judy drove at good speed. She kept thinking about Mar vel and that man.
