weeks honeymoon they took up abode
in a town of some 5000 population.
Phil rented little bungalow, and felt
quite certain that his brides distaste
for all things pertaining to the country
would vanish once she became en-
crossed in wifely duties
But Doris city breeding was too
firmly embedded. Through a limited
amount of reading and an unlimited
Indulgence in cinema recreation, she
had visualized the country as the home
of all manner of insects, bugs, snakes
and whatnot. Moreover, tramps were
always entering houses; stealing pies
and robbing hen yards.
Phil discovered after month that
his wife was not entirely satisfied
with her new home. More and more
he came to know her true conception
Of what country life was like. And
he knew that it was because she ex-
pected to find bugs and insects and
anticipated hearing strange noises,
that she sometimes found them. ANY,
thing that crawled or flew was to
Doris dangerous. The least creak or
rustic or whisper of wind was made
by someone trying to break in an up
stairs window.
Try as he would Phil could not con-
vince Doris that it was all her I'M
agination. Time and time again he
led her trembling outside the house
to show her that branch was strlk-
ing against the caves, or picked up
harmless lady bug and held it in his
hand to prove its lack of viciousness.
But all to no avail.
A S TIME went on. Doris imagina-
ton developed to point where

night. Phil investigated so many
sounds that he himself began to Won

himself listening attentively to the

pine grove in their back yard.

they heard it again-voices. Men

Phil quickly pushed Doris down the
steps and out into the street. Ap-
parently the intruders had not heard

the rear of his house. Doris stood
a minute, petrified with fear, and then
began to run toward the dim outline

. Expert Passer Affords
Edge Over Power.
BY EARL HILLIGAN.

Associated Press Sports Writer
CHICAGO, Aug. 0.-Football-and
several million fans--may put Sammy
Baugh ION the spot" the night Of
August 81.
10000 spectators, the college All-stars
and the Washington Redskins will
usher in the 1888 season at Soldier
Field on the Lake Michigan Shore.
And Baugh, for second straight
year, will be the young man whose
, performances will be watched closely
by fans and coaches from coast to
coast.
Coming into pro football from
Texas Christian. "Slingin' Sam" was
hailed as one of the finest collegiate
passers ever developed After one
year in footballs toughest circuit, the
National Professional League, he is
regarded as the greatest passer now
sin the sport.
A year ago, as a member of the
College Al-Star team. he tossed the
pass to Gaynell Tinsley that defeated
the Green Bay Packers. This year, as
the spark of the Redskins offense, he
will be on the other side of the fence
and under more pressure than ever.
Lot Depends on Baugh.
Baugh is the big reason why the
professional champions will be favored
to win and put the professionals ahead
In a series which started in 1884
To date, the standing is one victory
apiece. with two ties.
On the passing performance Of the
Texan may rest the 1898 campaign
plans of many a college and profess
sional coach. Last year, as pro
freshman. Baughs bullet-like passes
demoralized most all opposition and
indicated that the passing game may
dominate completely the pro sport
this fall. Washington. with Baugh
passing. ran over such teams as the
New York Giants and Chicago Bears,
both great rushing elevens. and Baugh
may force all pro teams to concen-
trate on throwing the ball instead Of
carrying it.
In the star-studded All-Star ranks.
! however. there may be some player
who will steal the show" from the
Redskin finger. Players of such
proved ability as "Whizzer" White of
Colorado and Jack Robbins of Arkan-
sas will not start the game. but that
doesn't mean they won't see action
Some Playing for Jobs.
Baugh wasn't elected to starting
position in 1887, but a few minutes
after the opening kickoff he had
replaced Bobby La Rue Of Pittsburgh
and went on to lead the collegians to
victory.
Here is the starting lineup of the
collegians, representing players who
received the highest number of votes
in Nationwide contest: Ends,
Sweeney of Notre Dame and Schwartz
of California; tackles, Markov of
Washington and Schreyer of Purdue;
guards. Routt of Texas Aggies and
Monsky of Alabama; center, Wolf Of
Ohio State: quarterback, Pupils of
Notre Dame; halfbacks, Isbell of Pur-
due and Uram of Minnesota, and
fullback, Patrick of Pittsburgh.
Many Of the All-Stars have signed
with pro teams for the 1888 season.
Some of the comparative lesser lights"
have failed to land contracts. Should
any Of them perform creditably the
night of August 81, however. it's a
certainty they will have jobs shortly
after the. final gun ends the annual
Grid spectacle.
