40 Motive

ONE thing only kept Ankrom
- from considering the cold
suaVc boss Of Swinging J as the
chief menace. lie could find no APP
parent motive strong enough to
lure or force the man into Tlsklng
all that he now had He could find
nothing which the man might pos
slbly gain that would be common
surate with his losses should he
lose.
To be sure, Batchford had
claimed to have found that thing
which Claydell was after. But had
the former sheriff actually made
such a discovery, or was this bat
another Of his smoke screens de
signed to further Ankrom's belief
in the rancher's possible guilt?
The devil Of it was that so much
might be hanging on the issue.
And upon his correctly gauglng II.
If Ratchford alone was responsible
for the calamities descending SC
steadily upon the Trones, things
would indeed be sufficiently bad
But if Claydcll, too, was having
hand in them, one might as well
admit that Rafter T was licked.
He and the three hands might pos
slblV hold off RatChfOrd and his
unofficial posse if it came to an
open fght-icastWiSC, as long as
their supply of ammunition held
out But Ankrom and TroncS
punchcrS could not fight of the
whole damned county!
Ankrom's chin sank mome1tar-
jlv forward upon his chest II was
hard. he told himself, bitter hard
to know what fix Lee Tr0ne was
in and TO realize at the same time
that he could do nothing toward
alternating matters
Then abruptly his chin came up
and out His grim jaws squeezed
hard together, causing the muscles
beneath his taWuy skin 10 stand
forth like Stiffencd ropes He
could not successfully combat the
united forces of TINS c0untry-but
he could make a damned good try!
RatChfOrd. when he had left the
RdftCr T with Betty StruthcT5 that
afternoon, had not gone directly
back to town as he had informed
TrOne he intended doing. He had
gone first 10 the Swinging J Clay
dell had him badly worried. This,
coupled with the humiliation he
had suffered before the TroncS at
AnkromS hands, had put the man
in vicious temper. He denounced

INDIANA GIRL, Z,
SPELLING CHAMP
Marion Richardson Winner
of $500 as Rival Loses
on Pronunciation

A 12-year-old girl from an Indiana
rural school outlasted 21 spoilers from
the elementary schools Of 1s States
yesterday to win the $500 first place
in the National Spelling Bee at the
National Museum.
The girl, Marion Richardson. repre-
senting Southern Indiana, emerged
victorious when she successfully spelled
pronunciation" after her runner-up
competitor, Jean I. Pierce, 13, of Ken
more, N. Y, had erred. Miss Richard
son then had to spell "sanitarium,"
which she did precisely and correctly.
"Oh, mel" lamented Miss Pierce,
land thought about that word last
night and thought knew it." She
spelled it pronunciation"
Mother Trained Winner.
The happy, curly-headed victor said
she had trained for two months for
the event under the tutelage of her
mother, former school teacher In the
school Marion now attends.
II don't know what I will do with
the money" she told reporters and
photographers. Probably some will
go toward my education"
Miss Pierce was happy, too, with her
second-place check of $500. She said
she planned to use some of 1t on an
operation on her nose and the rest
| for her education.
Betty Glenn, representing the At
lanta Constitution, took third prize of
| $10e.
"Otiose" Causes Dispute.
Hard-luck victim of the tourney was
June Gumerson OF Detroit, who fell
before Prof. Harold Hardingis pro-
nunciation of "otiose." Prof. Harding,
member of the George Washington
University public speaking faculty,
who shared with George F. Hussey,
jr., Of Boston the job OF giving out
the words, pronounced the word as
though it were spelled "oshus" and
June arrived at a spelling of "ocious."
A slight dispute over the pronuncia-
ton ended with the judges backing up
Prof. Harding.
The judges were John H. Lloyd of
the United States Office of Education,
Ivan A. Booker of the National Edu-
cation Association, and Mrs. Wilford
L. White, formerly of the faculty of
the Harvard Graduate School OF BUSH
ness.

NOWAK ORDERED
TO JERSEY CITY

DURHAM, N. c., March 16
QN.S0-Bill Nowak, recruit in
fielder claimed by both the New
York Giants and the Cleveland
Indians, today was directed by
w. G. Bramham, president Of the
National Association Of League
Clubs, to report to Jersey City, Of
the international League.
Jersey City is q Giant farm.
Bramham announced his deci-
sion after he was advised by
Manager Bill Terry, of the Giants,
that Nowak's father had signed a
contract, selling the boys services
to the Jersey City club. This was
necessary because Nowak is a
minor.
Charges Of kidnapping" a ball
player were hurled at the Cleve-
land club after Nowak left Terry's
baseball school at Baton Rouge,
La, and appeared at the Indians
training camp at New Orleans.
The Indians held that NoWak
had signed 1888 contract with
their farm team at Springfield,
Ohio. in the Middle Atlantic
League, but when Bramham's Of
flee was unable to locate such q
contract the player was awarded
to Jersey City.

Norton, 7Srb eager;
OuitS School for JOB

Charley Norton, the sensa-
tional young Maryland Univer-
sity basketball star, who turned
down a Red Sox contract for a
college degree, has withdrawn
from school.
Already proven one Of the
Terrapins' greatest court stars,
despite the fact that he played
but half the campaign, before
he was declared ineligible by the
faculty because of scholastic
deficiencies. Norton turned in
his books yesterday. He has OBJ
tanned a job in an executive
capacity with a local brewery
and will probably pitch for the
baseball team sponsored by the
company this summer.
According to Norton's closest
friends and advisors, he will en-
roll in Maryland in the fall, and
will probably be a candidate
The Washington times., 1938-03-16

for the varsity football team.
Center on Burt Shipley's baS-
ketball team the past season,
Norton played IL games for the
Old LineerS, scoring 146 points
and averaging better than IL
points a game.
His pitching ability was gen.
orally recognized, not only by
what he showed on the froSh
baseball team last season. but
in the scholastic ranks back
home in Ogden, Utah. Thus his
fine form was brought to the
attention Of Red Sox scouts.
1t is believed that Norton's
failure to regain faculty consent
to play varsity baseball this
year, after the youngster COM
pleted his courses for passing
grades, prompted his action Of
withdrawing from school for the
remainder Of the school term.

BY CHICK KENNY

The manner in which members
of the Southern Football Officials
Association and the Eastern Inter
collegiate Association must "toe
the mark" 11enceforth. bids fair
to show considerable improvement
in the brand of officiating during
the coming grid season.
The two separate groups are
more thoroughly organized than at
any time since the establishment
of these clearing houses for expert
handling Of college games.
Several important changes have
been made in the classification Of
officials, as well as the conduct,
garb and ratings of those who
arbitrate college football conflicts
Friday nights and Saturday after
moons from September to Decem-
ber.
