" HE day was joyful with blue of sky and
water, gold of sun and sand. and Diana
- was full of her own singing joy too } at
being alive beside Jake as they drove along the
dunes to the hotel to see her old friend Bret
Eatimer. Perhaps Diana allowed herself hope
that Jake might be just a little jealous of Bret
too; but the main thing was that Jake would
like him - like him awfuly, even see why
Diana had had such terrific crush on him at
fifteen and why she wanted Jake to be such a
person when he got to the ridculously distant
age of thirty-hve.
Bret met them in the lobby. He took Diana's
shoulders and kissed her tenderly on the lips,
his appreciative eyes lingering on her before he
turned on Jake's deepening gravity and dis

together, with all manner of fine times stretch

A book came down and the fabulous brim of

Diana, who was fascinated, contributed little
between them to keep it going; and Jake sat
as one memorizing an exotic being whom he

GOES OUT IN AZ
BY Lillian RIXEY

Dressed all in white, pretty,
blonde Marian Brown, of the
Manor Club, was making a valiant
effort on the first nine in the
final days play for the Keefer
Trophy at Chevy Chase today to
cut down Helen Dettweiler's lead.
Miss Browns score for the first
nine was AZ and, If she can keep
the pace on the second nine, with
her handicap of 5, her possible
net score of 10 plus yesterdays net
Of 81 has a sporting chance to
shut out the Dettweiler high net
so far.
Miss Dettweiler was running a
little behind yesterdays schedule,
carding a AZ for the first nine
holes.
Mrs. Martin Davy, of Congress
sional, was outhalf an hour before
play this morning to brush up on
her game. Results of her first
nine rewarded her early bird atti-
tude with a 46. Her drives were
true and, if she can repeat on
the second nine, her net of 81
should place her well up in the
prize competition.
AHEAD OF YESTERDAY
Mrs. Ralph Goldsmith, of Wood
mont, bettered her yesterdays
score on the first nine by three
strokes for 46 and is a threat
in the final reckoning.
Betty Meckley, Middle Atlantic
champion, started out in trouble
again today on a. course widely
known" for its tricky trapping. But
she has a good chance to recover
her poor showing at 81 gross yes
terday.
She teed off with Mrs. Jack
Scott, former Colorado State
champion, whose long drives and
easy style would put her right in
the top rank of golfers if she took
more time from housekeeping du-
ties for golf.
Mrs. T. j. (Martie) Johnson, of
Army and Navy, tall and rangy,
is hitting them out like a veteran
today and may give the lie to her
handicap of II.
Mrs. c. P. Needy made an eagle
four on the long eighteenth hole
with three wood shots and a putt.
In addition to the silver goblet
which will be presented to the
net winner of the tournament,

PHILADELPHIA, April 2s-The

this year is Melo Almado. Boy.
how he fools EN-; makes 'em look
pitiful at the plate. He's even so
good that he fools the customers,
who think they're looking at
triples, only to find out that
they've been looking at another
fly to center field.
Consider the case Of Bobby
Doerr, second baseman Of the Bos-
ton Red Sox, who came to the bat
in the eighth inning with one run
over the plate and two men on
bases. Two we're out, and De
Shong threw a ball that Doerr hit
right on the stitches. For money,
chalk or marbles, that ball was a
base hit.
HE GOT IT
Armada tore in for the leather
which swerved to his right, and
was about to duck into the daisies
when Melo stuck out his hand.
The ball found a haven there.
That bit Of defensive pyrotechnics
saved the day for the Nationals.
With Armada racing in, 1t was a
question Of do or don't. If a right
handed thrower, with the glove on
his left hand, had been chasing
the drive, it undoubtedly would
have torn through his fingers and
bounded away for a triple; maybe
g. home run. That might have
cost the ball game.
On Tuesday Armada made a
never-to-be-forgotten catch of Pin.

ter, sliding on his shoulder as he
again caught a sWerving drive on
his right. No right-handed fielder
who ever lived would have caught
either ball, and both of them were

the bat.
These sensational plays by the
smiling Armada must establish
