CHAPTER TWELVE

Ellen was self conscious when
Rick brought his stack Of blue
prints to her at the conclusion OF
the days work.
Twice. she dropped the file key
after she had checked the plans to
see they were all there. Both
times. Rick retrieved it for her.
That finished, she put the kay
in her purse and told Rick she'd
meet him outside in few minutes.
As usual, she went into Rayburn's
office, but instead of handing him
the master key and waiting while
he locked it in the safe. she mere
ly said good night.
Good luck" he said, as she
walked toward the door. by the
way. where are you having dim
ner?"
we always go to Georges on
the beach" she answered. They
have the best sea food in southern
California"
We'll, suppose the big expert
ment will be all over by eight
o'clock" he remarked. I'D sppre-
ciate it If you'd call me in case
anything happens
I'D like to Mr.. Rayburn. but
Major Barringer has given me
orders to report to no one but him.
You can get in touch with him."
I'll call him, then" Rayburn
answered.
She nodded.
Bathing Suit
She had brought her bathing
suit and cap in small carrying
case, and retrieved that and her
purse from her desk.
Outside the gate, after an alb
sent-minded goodnight to the Off
Ger on guard there, she joined Rick
in his car, drawn up at the curb.
She was unusually quiet on the
drive to the beach, so quiet in fact
that he remarked about it.
Feeling okay, Ellen ?" he asked.
IF you don't, we can call off the
date till some other time, you
know"
Busy with her thoughts and
worried over what the evening
might bring forth, his question
didn't penetrate her consciousness
for several moments.
"Er-what did you say" she
suffered. He repeated his ques-
ton.
"Oh, yes, I feel fine. A little
tired, it's been so hot today but
otherwise all right. I'm looking
forward to our swim"
And dinner afterwards, he put
in. I'm hungry as a wolf al
ready, and after a dip in the
ocean, I'll eat George out house

called, and in less time than thai

Last one ms so-and-so,
Rick shouted and together they
raced across the beach and int
the water, plunging headlong UNI
der huge wave as it roared il
from the ocean.
Gasping and shaking the water
from their eyes, they laughed
gaily. and then plunged again int
the surf. Ellen, born and reared
in the beach city, was an excellent
swimmer and made Rick hustle fol-

Dear Miss Grey: I agree with
the writer who said you can buy
more brains In woman than you
can in man for the same amount
Of money.
And ! agree decidedly with the
statement that women will not get
just salaries until they learn to
work together-until they are big
enough to forget women-smallnes
and until they live down the belief
that women can't work together
In harmony.
A long as women resent each
other and refuse to work in har-

PAUL SHANNON,
 HUB WRITER, DIES

St. Petersburg, Fla, Jan. 21-(UP) Police believed today that Paul shannon, president of the Baseball Writers Association of America who was found drowned yesterday in Boca Ceiga Bay, died accidentally.
 Shannon, GA, recently resigned from the Boston Post. He had been with the newspaper more than 25 years.
 He had complained of suffering spells of dizzinets and police be- lieved he might have suffered one while sitting on a sea wall Thurs day night at pass-a-grille. Friends last saw him sitting on the sea wall Thursday night. When he did not return home yesterday morning, Mrs. shannon asked police to search for him. Fishermen found the body floating toward the Gulf of Mexico.

Springfield
 Indians At Arena Sunday

New Haven, Jan. 21-The Spring field Indians, having taken a new lease on life with the return to the bench of their coach, Fred Hitch. man, pay their first visit to New Ha. ven in nearly two months tomorrow night. The Indians will meet LII with Coach Lepine's Scrappy Eagle, on the ice at the Arena before 6 crowd which threatens to break al records.
 Nearly 1000 Sprinfield rooters vii accompany their team to New Ha- ven with high hopes of a repeat per- formance of last weeks hair-raiser in Springfield. Every time the Eagles and the Indians get together, some- thing happens. The Springfield game saw two free-for-alls, some good and bad hockey and plenty of rough stuff on both sides. In fact, the h. dians belted the Birds around so badly that three defense men were hardly able to play the next night and the Philadelphia Ramblers had easy pickings.
 Beisler An Enemy"
 Lloyd Jackson, Max Kaminsky and Frank Beisler, three former New Haven favorites who have been turning in great performances for the Indians, will lead the Spring field contingent in their bid for the first win of the season nj New Ha- ven. Thus far, the Eagles hold the edge in play for the season and are out in front of the Indians nj the league standing.
 Lepine will bank on his own line to start the game. Bob McCully and Eddie Ambois will be on the wings Hoch and Raymond will probably get the call at the points with Bill Beveridge in the nets. Hitchmar will probably start Jackson, Con- molly and Saunders up in front Beisler and Orlando at the points ard Benny Grant in goal.
 The game will get under way al 8:3O.

 WILEY AT BUCK
Large Crowd Sees First PrO-Amateur Show;
 CiarlO By K. 0.

With knockouts plentiful, the first pro-amateur boxing card ever to be presented in Waterbury turned out to be 8 decided success with 1,500 fans lookin gon last night in Buck ingham hall and the Waterbury A. 0. officials highly elated at the gen. eral results both from the ring and box office. Most of the favorites won. some of them by the kayo route, but they were given hard opposition, in the majority of cases.
 Dick Turcotte, local fighting Frenchman ,outpointed Duke Harri- son, Bridgeport negro, but the latter got off the floor three times and was I nthere' swinging right to the finish. Turcotte knocked him out of the ring in the secon dbut Harri- son came back and fought hard. Turcotte scaled 140, Harrison 139. The Kovach- Wiley feud was settled neatly, Kovach winning by a TKO in the third round, when he got to Wiley with some hard punches to the head.
 Quick K. O.
 Manchester Eddie Elm knocked out Irish Billy Taylor of Bridge port almos tas quickly as Frankie Buff turned the trick last summer, when Elm hit Taylor on the chin and saw him counted out in 40 sec- onds of the first round: Elm weighed 160, Taylor 159. Tommy Ciarlo had plenty of trouble with Joe Brosseau in the opening round but got to him in the second, scor- ing a knockdown and generally beat ing up Brosseau. George Jordan, Springfield Greek, gave Red Moffett qudite an argument before Moffett got the nod while Bill Marcus of Waterbury, a 125 pound boy, won from Tommy Bruno of Springfield in another of the seven amateur battles. Sam Craig, Waterbury col ored boy, won on 8 knockout from Jack Maddox of Hartford. They are welterweights.
 Joe Rossi of Naugatuck did not box because his local foe, Bobby Ruggles was not allowed by his par ents to put on the gloves. Irish Ed die Dolan and his old manager Tom Turyey took a bow when introduced by Announcer Chick Kelley.

WILEY AT NAUGATUCK

Naugatuck, Jan. 2l.-The biggest demand for tickets here evidenced in many years has been shown for the Wilby high-N Naugatuck high bas- ketball game to be played at the Y. M. 0. A. tonight. Many fans will have to be disappointed because of lack of seating accommodations.
 A packed house was assured yes- terday noon and still the requests for tickets for this game, which should be 6 nip-and-tuck thriller, continued to pour in. The fortunate holders of ducats today valued their tickets at much more than the price they paid.
 Although the Garnet has won nine straight games, local fans are still not sure that the team is as good as the five which last year was run- ner-up for the state scholastic title Wilby always furnishes the Foley men with plenty of opposition and is expected to do so tonight. e 4 has good team this year.
