LOS ANGELES, Jan. l6. (UP)-
This, the City of Angels, has been
raising the very devil for years in
an effort TO gain a place in the ma
tional professional football league.
I nfighting for big time franchise
for its Bulldog team, Los Angeles
crossed it's civic heart that the
presence of such teams as the Gil
ants, the Packers, and the Bears
would draw sellout crowds, and
make everybody rich from the own
ers to the hot dog hoWlers.
Now, on Monday of January 16,
1899, we know that the city of Los
Angeles was wrong, and the big
league football franchises hac bet
ter stay where they are. Because
yesterday. at Wrigley field here,
a football game which brought to-
gether the greatest collection OF
stars ever gathered at one time was
played before a crowd that made
no one rich. Despite tremendous
publicity, and a charity angle, there
were fewer than $1,000 cash GUS
toners in the stands when the New
York Giants kicked off against
the hand-picked All-Americans.
This was the super professional
game. On one side, wearing red
uniforms, were the Giants, cham
Dions of the world On the other,
in the All-Americans backfield at
the start were Sammy Baugh
Clark Hinkle. Ernie Pinckert and
Lloyd Cardwell. When they tired
their substitutes were such players
as Cecil Isbell, John Drake, Eddie
Goddard and Gordon G Gore. And
the line jobs were handled by Cay
nell Tinsley, Bruiser Kinard, Joe
Stydahar, Perry Schwart, Joe Cara
ter, Ernie Smith and others just
as brilliant
Against this star-studded group
the Giants threw such players as

You can't any more imagine a
football lover passing up this game
than you can a lover of painting
turning his back on Mona Lisa, or
a gourmet saying mo thank you"
when the waiter brings around the
humming bird tongues au gratin.
But the Los Angeles football fans
did. Nearly 100000 of them were
out for the Southern California
and Notre Dame game, and some
10000 of them sat in on the Rose
Bowl battle, but fewer than $4,000
were there to see the Giants and
the All-Americans in game that
had more football in it than the
last three Rose Bowl SpatS put to-
gether.
The game didn't substantiate the
advance notices, which said it un-
doubtedly would develop into a
passing duel between DanoWski and
Baugh. Fordham Ed and Texas
Sammy tossed for touchdowns, all
right but the top moments in the
game were provided by John Drake,
cnetime of Purdue and now of the
Cleveland Rams. The 210 pound
fullback stole the show with as fine
a display of power running as any
game ever produced. Until he hurt
an ankle, Drake was unstoppable.
After the game the happiest man
in Los Angeles was Dutch Clark,
who recently signed to coach the
Clevelands next year.

Pinnacle Studios and he had to be
nice to every one. It was break
for a man in Craig's position to
have such nice eyes and a nice smile
and to be so kindly. They were his
stock in trade.
At last the day arrived when the
tests were made. There followed a
period Of anguished waiting, of try

glad to have Craig Franklin with
her those days. His mere presence
created soothing effect.
Realized Failure.
Then came the most important
morning Of all A representative Of
the studio went to her hotel. He
tried to smile pleasantly, but Freda
knew. She knew with an awful
sinking sensation that all of her
scheming and planning and hoping
had failed. Her past had found her
out. The lesser quality Of her
beauty hadn't escaped the eyes of
those experts. Some one else had
been chosen.
With a little surprised cry she
turned and rushed up to her room.
She flung herself on her bed and
wept, bitterly. Then she sat up,
drying her eyes. She mustn't be
coward. Not now. Whatever else
happened she must show them that
she could take it.
She packed her bags, clinging to
one hope, one terrible yearning. II
he didn't come to comfort her, life,
1t seemed, would no longer be worth
living. An hour passed. Two. It
was nearing time to leave for her
train. Some one knocked at the
door. Freda caught her breath,
flung 1t open. It was Craig!
He said simply, I'm sorry" and
stood awkwardly, looking at her.
She tried to smile, to pretend It
made no difference. Then tears
filled her eyes, "1t's what deserve!
I was a fool to come here! It's
what deserved"
OBSERVER" Craig dropped to the
divan beside her What do you
mean you deserve 1t? That's fool

was so convinced that every man
who saw you wanted you for his

chance. If you hadn't told me this
I never would have asked you to

Which was all she wanted, really.
