DUST IN BATTLE.
FOR TWO BERTHS
Close Contest Seen as
Aces Seek Positions

Today Is q red letter day in the
camp Of the Washington Red
skins. No less than eight candi-
dates for the team will be given
their release before nightfall. The
slash in the ranks of the rockies
will bring the squad down to the
leagues regulation player limit.
Five Redskins bit the dust fol-
lowing the regulation intra,squad
game last Sunday. Thirteen were
slated to go at the time, but Coach
Ray Flaherty was Of the opinion
that he needed a few more days
to be sure Of his ground. Only
those who definitely did not have
q chance were given their notice
last Sunday.
20 CLNCH POSTS
Twenty spots on the team have
been definitely set. These include
all the holdovers from last season
still with the team and eight lads
new to the squad this year. Those
who have clinched their posts are
Ends Hal Brady (Elon) and Bob
MaSterson CMiami) /; tackles, Hank
BartoS North Carolina) and Bill
Wilkin (St. Mary's); center,
Mickey Parks (Oklahoma); half
backs, Jay Turner George Wash
ington) and George Karamatic
(Gonzaga) and fullback, Dick
Tuckey (Manhattan).
Two of the following players
will be awarded contracts. They
are: end, Bill Moore North Caro-
lina); Tackle, Milt johnson New
Hampshire; guard, Glen Stralka
(Georgetown); quarterback, Rink
Bond (Washington); halfbacks,
Leroy Campbell (Western Mary
land) and Bill Hartma q n n
(Georgia), and fullbacks, Jim
Abbitt (Elon), Maurice Elder
(Kansas State), Charley Payne
(Detroit) and Johnny Spirida (St.
AnSelm'S).
DECIDES ISSUE
This writer refuses to make a
prediction as to what two rockies
will be retained as all the players
are on about a par in their respec-
tive positions.
Scrimmage today decides the
issue. A sensational performance
by any player will clinch post,
but the openings are limited to
two.
Flaherty has high hopes in the
Scrimmage today. He pointed out
following the game" last Sun
day that many Of the candidates
were over-anxious and nervous in
the test. They knew they were on
the spot, and at the same time,
under the scrutiny of nearly 1000
addicts of the pro grid sport. and
could not give their best.
Today'S workout may prove a
relief to several members Of the
club who were all thumbs Sunday,
or who had wool over their eyes.
BETTER CONDITIONS
The Redskin labratory is set
under quieter conditions today.
The crowd will be thin and the
100 musicians which comprise the
RedSkin Band and the Kiwanis
Boys Club troup have their instru-
mentS locked in cases.
So no excuse will be accepted
for poor showings in this, the final
chance to earn a position on the
squad.

Eastern Wants In

! Some District clubs pay an
nual dues to their sectional asSo-
citation, but Manor, to which
MARION BROWN belongs, is
not one of them. The secretary
Of the Women's Eastern Golf AS
sociation has wired MISS
BROWN that she is not eligi-
BILE for entry in the national
amateur through their group,
since Manor is not an affiliate
club.
In order to pave the way for
her entry in the national, the
treasurer Of Manor has already
told MARION that he will gladly
mail Eastern a check. In which
event, all she has to do is have
them shoot through to Wilmette
her club handicap Of 2, with no
more nonsense about it. Or else,
MISS BROWN could scurry
around and collect five scores to
send to the U.S.G.A. direct. Or
else, since MARION belongs to
both Manor and Indian Spring,
she could enter from Indian
Spring, which has paid its dues
this year to the Eastern ASso-
citation.
MRS. DAVIS Snag is not so
troublesome or com pl i Gated.
The fact Is that the phenomenal
Congressional player has been
whiting away on her handicap
so fast that Eastern still had on
record that she carried a handi-
cap of 12. That's practically
ancient history, for little MRS.
DAVY is now down to six, which
just gets her in under the han
dicap limit for the national. All
she had to do, since Congress
sional is a member Of Eastern,
was to ask MRS. c. P. MEDLEY,
Washington women's able handi-
capper, to send on to Eastern'S
secretary MRS. DAVIS revised
handicap.

since she went away, sir, ! have
not mentioned her gift for fear of
hurting you"
The woman arose, went into her
small bedroom, and returning with
a package wrapped carefully in It's
sue paper, sat down once more and
resumed her narrative.
'You see, sir, it happened this
way: When Miss Nora was only a
wee girl she asked what would
like her to give me for birthday
present. l said, Get me a nice
handkerchief, child, one that's bit
fancy for all mine are plain and
when l take tea at the minister's

it in fun, you know-as sort of
joke; but the child got one Of
my maids to take her to the five

and she bought me handkerchief
"a fancy one as believe you will
agree. ! have it here"
Martha had been slowly untying
the tissue-wrapped package. 1t con-
tanned, James saw, a pile of neatly
folded handkerchiefs. From the top
she lifted one with a bright pink
border. She spread it out. Some
thing supposed to be pansy en-
broidered in garish shades of red
and purple, adorned each corner.
James Lambert stared at it; but
as he remained silent the woman
said: ''Her taste improved as she
grew older"
(Which was indeed fortunate" re-
torted James, surprised, even in
that tense moment, to find his long
dormant sense of humor still alive.
$50 every year, Mr.. Lambert, no
matter how fine a gift Miss Nora
gave me, there was always birth
day handkerchief as well. To tell
the truth, nice handkerchiefs are a
sort of weakness with me, and ]
think she knew it. Nice handker-
chiefs and nice aprons. never
could abide the sort of aprons that

Ned's maids are content to wear.

when such extravaganza would
have been shameless, my own were

Martha was spreading out a blue
edged square.
"This came when she was only
ten, Mr.. Lambert-the year she and
Mr.. Ned gave me the gold brooch.
Notice the pretty border, sir, as re-
fined as can be; though later she
got them all white which was more
suitable, except this lavender one
she brought from Europe. Just look
at the qualityl 1t is sheer enough

Tin Pan Alley

This term is applied, not to q
street, but to an area in New York
city which is largely occupied by
music publishers, especially the
publishers of modern popular
songs and arrangements. The
area lies, roughly, between Forty
fourth and Forty-ninth streets and
between Broadway and Eighth
avenue. The designation, tin pan,
is due to the discordant sounds
affecting the ears of passersby
when different songs or arrange
ments are being played at one
time by various instruments in adj
jacent publishing houses.

CHAPTER XIII

James was still deep in thought
when, an hour later, his son came
down from the birthday visit with
old Martha. In fact, Ned found his
father so noncommittal that he, too.
lapsed into silence and took up a
book. But he did not read. Not only
had he something on his mind, but
he was observing with genuine con-
Germ those lines of care and worry
in the older mans familiar visage.
Ten years, and troubles with a
growing son had made Ned Lam
bert more tolerant of others. Now,
coming to decision, he asked
abruptly: dad, do you hear from
Nora these days?"
James started, because Ned
seemed to have read his thoughts.
"Not line for nearly three
years, son."
you're worried?"
His father nodded.
II can't help wondering if they're
in difficulties; and tonight Mar
tina"
He stopped, not wishing to 60 fur
Their; and Ned moved to window,
looking into the dark night as if
uncertain about something. 1t was
James who spoke.
"Look here, son. think you
ought to know that when your sis
ter went away l didn't change my
will as / intended. Except for an
extra two hundred thousand and the
business, which goes to you, the es-
tate is divided evenly, as it was
then. There are requests to serv-
ants, of course; and to the men
who've been with us longest at the
office, besides something for Nora's
boys; but the bulk of the prop
erty goes to you and-and your sis
ter. When she left home / was too
upset to think about such things.
Later let the matter drift. Now
well, if you feel that it's unjust
to you and yours"
"Why should II" Ned turned
sat down beside his father on the
davenport. cts your money, Dad.
Do as you please with it. I've got
enough of my own-enough to have
pretty nearly ruined my own boy,
as you know. Wen both be happi-
er, you and I, if we feel that Nora
is provided for"
"You mean that?" questioned
James, a trifie puzzled.
Ned smiled.
"Of course I mean It'll Why in the
world shouldn't I? I'll admit that
used to be jealous Of Nora when
was a kid; and after I understood
about things / was sometimes cad
enough to feel ashamed of her. I
think she knew it, and despised me
a little. But realize now that you
seemed every bit as near to her as
you did to me, and ! shouldn't want
you to hurt her in any way. Where
was she, Father, when you last
heard?"
James cleared his throat, not in
anger as he used to do in the old
days, but because of a sudden rush
of feeling. Ned's words had brought
him immeasurable relief.
"They were in Chicago, on their
way West. Her husband was plan
ming to write a series of articles
like those he did about South Africa.
