look up at the building across tho

floor window: Van Franklin. Theat-

and there couldn't be any harm In
trying. She went across the street.
The office was small and dingy
If the waiting room was any In

but then you never could tell about
these men. Some of them didn't
like fancy offices. The reception
desk was empty. but when she
made a noise closing the door, the
murmur of voices in the next room
ceased. In a moment, girl in
tight green dress and YEARLY blond
hair came out and sat al the desk.
What is it," she yawned lnQuir-
ingly.

on his desk. Anne said. Good aft
ernoon," and he looked up lnpa-
tiently. When he saw her. however,
his whole face changed and his eyes
slowly swept her from the feather
in her hat TO her trim suede san
dals. They were brilliant and deep
set eyes and they looked right
through her and around in back.
Anne moved intentionally under
his silent appraisal and felt it was

for her and Anne watched him curl
ously. He wasn't exactly handsome
and he wasn't very big. but he
moved with the same catlike grace
that many big men are supposed to
have-and those deep eyes in his
lean face were fascinating in their
aliveness. But most of all 1t was his
voice!

And your address and telephone

She gave him all the information,
and when he was through writing
he sat back slowly in his chair.

hear you read something first" He
fumbled in the desk and pulled out
a tattered part. Here 1t is. Stand

Anne took off her hat and stood
in front of him. The late sunlight
slanted through the window. She
kept looking at the dust particles
floating in the beam Of light, when
she looked up from the paper There
was a queer feeling to what she
was reading. 1t was different than
acting in front of an audience. She
was just talking to this man and
she could believe what she was say

was answering her with a caress in

Of Potential Gloss
By GEORGE HUBER.

"A couple OF dig llnemen ana tnree
experienced backfield men are just
about all of Roosevelt Highs foot
ball team. Coach Artie Boyd can
round up enough other fellows
named Joe to make fairly pre-
Sentable first team, but after that
his troubles commence.
Hardly any of his boys can be
rated as iron men. able to play 40
minutes of a high school game,
especially against the kind Of COM
petition the Rough Riders must face
this year What to do for replace
ments is what worries Boyd most.
Last year Roosevelt set Rider
precedent by winning two interhigh
games. This years team appears no
worse, 1t may be a bit better, but
while only four instead of five
games are to be played they are
against the cream of scholastic
elevens-Western. Central. Eastern
and Woodrow Wilson It's as tough
as any interhigh program, and the
Rough Riders will be favored only
over Wilson. As things size up,
Roosevelt is expected to finish third
in the west division behind Western
and Central and ahead of Wilson,

In the backfeld Coach Boyd has
hopes of making Roosevelt shine.
The three letter men are Capt.

Irwin Breier. To fill out the quar-
tet he has Hynie Perlo. star bas-
ket ball PLAYER for several years,
who only now is making a serious
bid for football honorS. Hvmie Is a
born competitor and has filled an
important niche in the Roosevelt
backfeld. He's cool. accurate
passer. a good line bucker and the
teams outstanding kicker.
Lots Of Duties for Hymie.
In addition he will call signals
from the fullback position. He
probably will be Roosevelt's best
back and certainly could have been
used effectively in previous years
had the coaches been able TO per-
suade him TO play. He has been
devoting most of his time to basket

what Coach Herman Lttman OF

when he learns that Hvmie has
gone in for football. There's the

a starting backfield in Perlo. Wick

pares with any others, but after
that he is up against it. It's the
same way in the line. What TO do
when some of his starters become
tired or injured is what posters
him. and lack of reserves likely will
keep Roosevelt from finishing bet
ter than third in the west division.

Cleveland Rooters in Mood
To Hurroh for TIGERS

It would be no great surprise to
see any number of Cleveland rooters
using their hoarse huZzahs in favor
of Detroit. I've talked with many of
them lately and I know they are
dead sore at the whole affair.
They may forget this in the inter-
est of another World Series after a
20-year wait.
But if it happens to be Cleveland
against the Reds you'll find the bulk
of Ohio back of the Reds. They took
a smashing last fall and came back
stronger than ever. They proved at
least to be dead game. And they'll
move into this next series ready to
give all they have in their clammv
systems. 1t may not be enough, but
therell be no 1889 collapse.

In the midst of this Buckeye tur-

Cleveland is. The terrific blasting

pennant chasers, still are on a
grlddle. BY ali odds the best cluD
in the National League. they still
have a five-year National League
deficit to wipe out, using their bats
and pitching arms largely for this
purpose. The older league must look
back to the autumn spell of 1884
to locate World Series victory,
and that is a lot Of calendars in
the book of time.
Last fall the Reds dropped four
games in a row. when with better
fielding the count should have stood
at two and two One scrambling
outheld and one moth-eaten infleld
play turned the series into rout.
But with Cleveland and Detroit
still moving through the stretch to
the wire, the Reds still have that
rout to remember in behalf of their
own league.

If the Reds are beaten again the
next series will be a nightmare for
the old league. 1t will mean that

This puts the situation squarely
up to Cincinnati's earnest young
athletes, headed by one Of base

ringer, Walters and Thompson.
The Reds now have had some

fifth and most dangerous hurdle
IN his campaign for heavyweight
title shot tomorrow night when
he squares off against Lee Ssvold.

Madison Square Garden.
Billy the Hid Conn has
beaten four heavyweights in
his drive toward a title bout
with Champion Louis, but
none provided the menace Of
Savokd. who has kayoed IL
of his last ~ opponents.
Conn and savold are slated for
IL rounds But there's little
chance the bout will 90 the dis
lance. They're that kind of
fighters.
Conn figures that he will white
Savold down to his own weight
with a terrific bsrrage to the
body during the early rounds, and
then belt him out.
But Savold figures that weak
punching Conn will make his
VIGOROUSLY slow start and leave
openings that will prove fatal.
Savold knows that Conn has
left those openings early in
his bouts with the four previ-
Gus heavies he has licked: Al
Mccoy. Bob Pastor, Henry
Cooper and Gus Dorazio.
Because Conn never has lost q
bout in New York, and because
he is the light heavyweight cham
pion. the betting men have made
Billy-the-Kid a Al favorite.
