 BALL GAME
KimbalI Lasts Four Batters Dogs Ramb|e Over
 Playing Field

Last nights ball game, the first in the second half of the Cas- tineau Channel Baseball League, got away to as funny 8 start as any game ever played on this chan nel.
 Bob Kimball, on the mound for the Moose. hit Ellenberg of the Elks with his first pitched ball. Then he walked Taguchi. Then he hit MacSpadden with a pitched ball, and answered that one by walking Ellenberg home and Ad- dleman to first.
 That's when Klmball stepped ashore and Clancy Converse was given the mound
 Havlic grounded and Taguchi was cut off at the plate, but Pas quan lofted a long fly to center on which MacSpadden scored-and then Wiley was hit by pitched ball, the third in one inning.
 Moose Score Moose came back in their opener of the second and scored two runs with Taguchi booting ball at third to start the ball rolling and boot ing another four batters later.
 In the fifth frame Snow scored from second base when Johnson hit to Taguchi, Taguchi threw wide to first and Pasquan, pulling out to catch the ball., slapped Johnson with the leather as he went by, but the ball bounded into right field.
 To even it up again, Taguchi got hit by a pitched ball in the Elks half of the frame, went to third on MacSpaddens double against the right field fence and scored on Addleman's roller to second.
 Tie Broken In the first of the seventh, Moose broke the tie with Lawson singling. Schmitz advancing him with sec rifice bunt, Guy getting aboard on MacSpadden's error in left field. Lawso n scoring then on Shows single and Guy scoring on John sons grounder.
 Two spectacular catches and one fiasco with the dogs completed a woody evening. Johnson robbed Lewis of three base hit in deep left in the fourth inning when he ran backwards, leaped in the air, twist ed and came down with the ball
 Force-Out by Wiley
 Wiley stumbled over a ground ball hit by Snow in the fifth, but managed to nearly complete a som ersault and come up with the ball in time to throw to second and make a force-out.
 Then there were the dogs. Wiley had doubled to left and had reached third, but while prancing in the third base line ditch, he was get ting far from safety and catcher Kelly Blake let fly ball to third sacker Joe Werner-who had his back to the play and was trying to convince a dog or pack of dogs that they should get off the dia- mond
 The ball hit the ground, but Werner recovered in time to trap Wiley between home and third
 Moose got eight hits, no errors Elks, unable to hit Converse, scored only three, and made in turn five errors.

 "Ho, Andre, don't rush of! Fact is, wanted you to know these fellows, and went them to know you. MT. Girardeau, here, is a French refugee. Wounded last March, captured and escaped be- fore France had to capitulate. But he hasn't surrendered-ha!
 "YeS sir, gentleman" he went on, America has got to recognize international conditions no matter how determined we are to stay out of war. Preparations is a neces- sity. And we have something now that will bolster that preparedness to a very great extent. These men, Andre, have come to conduct extensive bombing tests out here on the desert, although I believe any public announcement of that fact should come from Colonel McDavid here, eh?"
 The men called Coloned McDa- vid answered.
 Right, MT. Bailey. Of course bombing practice can't be hidden under hat; but we do have oul secrets, and we do have our ene- mics trying to get them. Were you a flyer, MT. Girardeau?"
 "No," MT. Bailey answered fol him, and what MT. Bailey added was enough to startle Andre al- most out of his careful poise. No Colonel, Andre doesn't fly. But the young fellow has, I think, con- quered my daughter; and if she approves of man, he's solid! ] have to recognize that. In addi- tion, Andre is 8 gentleman of some means. So I had been planning to work him in as an investor and executive in the Bailey corpora tion itselfl"

That innocuous looking liquid called ''Blaine's Compound" which Andre Girardeau carried in his bag gage was before him on the table now. The label on the bottle pro- claimed it good for sundry sprains and muscular ailments, but Andre had no pains. Instead, he dipped a pen in it and wrote with the color less fluid as follows:
 Apparently actual practice with new bomb sight delayed because of intrusion Japan into the scheme also. U. s. Border Patrol captured five Japanese unmistakably planted on bomb ing grounds first proposed, hence practice delayed here un- til new orders Washington.
 "But I am closer still to Bailey and winning full confidence, also have contacted second agent here as instructed.

dinary ink from a fountain pen he wrote completely different message right on top of the other. This new message had to do with vacation in the southwest, with books, with clothes and similarly uninteresting family talk. Signed with a fictitious named, wiped free of possible fin- gerprintS, folded and insertec with gloves in 8 fresh envelope, the message then was directed to a wo- man in Washington, D. c. Late that night the stamped envelope was mailed without Andres fingers ever touching it direct.
 Less than 48 hours later, by CO., incidence, Andre GirarGeau was on the front porch of the Rocking R ranch house chinning amiably with Thomas U. Bailey, when two dots in the eastern sky grew into definite shapes and presently circled down over the ranch itself. Andre noted with quiet satisfaction that mechanics near the Bailey hangars ran out to spread white cloth sig nal. Three new hangars had been built on this private field since An dre came west, he knew. Three be- sides the one which housed Ronica' $ golden monoplane.
 MT. Bailey saw the ships and stood up to gaze at them.

 Andre tried to sound casual New type motor, MT Bailey?"
 No, the new bomb sight. Prob ably read about it, eh?"
 Some mention of it, yes"
 "The Arny's using our planes Want to run some tests on the desert here. No importance par ticularly, but - uh, keep it conf1- dential, Andre"
 "Oh certainly, MT. Bailey. ] should like to see the tests. ] mean, assuming any part of them is open to the public of course"
 Fine! Don't blame you. Want to see it myself, so I'll take you along!"
 Andre congratulated himself in- wardly. He was making better progress than he had dared hope Not that he could yet expect any actual study of the bomb sight but at least his intimacy with Thomas Q. Bailey was perfect groundwork, perfect cover agains, any remote possibility of suspicion directed against him.
 He already knew that Bailey and the Army department head! worked hand in hand, that no more than ten men actually hae seen the new bomb sight. Ever the high-ranking pilots who hat given it preliminary tests witt such startling success-were un. acquainted with the detailed con struction of the thing.
 It was "gadget," MT. Baile, had said in newspaper interview which enabled an aviator to drol bombs from hitherto impossible heights and strike small target with almost infallible accuracy { Which, of course, was why Andr, and the powerful European organ <; ization backing him were deter mined to get the secret at an, cost. Specifically, Andres as signed task was to get a sample of the sight itself!
 He was with MT. Bailey when mer from the two planes walked to hi porch and greeted him. Dressed 1T business clothes, they were duly in troduced. MT. Bailey was affable a! usual, but the six guests there were not very talkative. Andre understood this situation.
 Its pleasure to have met you gentlemen" he declared presently

 Each of the four nations issued stamps showing the coat-of-arrns of each country. Designs are similar.
 Directed particularly against Balkan aggressors, the Entente does not commit either Turkey or Yugoslavia to aid Greece except against Balkan army. Rumania, of course, as Nazi puppet, is out of the Entente.

benefit the companies under his
supervision.
Hopson supporters say his setup
simply fell victim to the same de-
preston forces that toppled cor
porate structures right and left.
For seven weeks he has sat yawn-
ing and doing as the Government
unfolded its case with such evidence
as this:
A former employe testified that
one day in 1882 Hopson's private
company bought control of the Ovid
Electrical Corp, and the Tompkins
County Power Co., for $4,000, and
sold it the next day to an A. G. &
E. subsidiary for $4,000.
A former bookkeeper testified that
in 1888, at Hopson's order, she had
taken an old letterhead and typed
on it purported financial agree
ment between two system compa-
mics, and dated it September 6,
1929" four years previous.
Another former bookkeeper ttes-
titled that it was the practice for
Hopson's privately owned companies
which provided various services to
the system, like legal and engi-
neering work, to charge double what
the employees were paid for the
work.
The trial is entering it's eighth
week, and may last year, although
Federal Court Judge Alfred Coke
is trying to speed 1t up.
On the opening day the defense
pushed in an 18-foot bookcase, four
shelves high, packed with volumes
of evidence.

So now the four young men de-
cided to find out what had hap
pened to the kingdom of the three
brothers during the hundred years
they had been bewitched by the
giant who had no heart.
They flew straight to the cap
ital of their kingdom. They could
recognize that easily, because their
father had built three castles on
three hills so that each of his sons
would have fine home when he
took a bride.
They soon saw the city where
three castles stood on three hills.
But when they looked down onto
the streets they saw grass chok-
ing up the thoroughfares. VIM
doWs were broken in homes. There
was no smoke from any of the
chimneys and they saw not one
single person.
Great Green Snakes.
Instead, they saw great, green
snakes slipping in and out of door,
ways, lying coiled up in the sun,
or slithering up tree trunks to
steal eggs from birds nests.
The three brothers lamented
loudly, but Eric was silent and
thoughtful. He didn't dare ask his
horse to settle down into one of
the streets for they might all have
been bitten by snakes. But he
pulled the black coal from his
pocket-the one he had picked up
on the mountain top-and threw it
down on the outskirts of the city.
Suddenly great circle Of fire
crept around the city and grew
as high as any of the houses. Snakes
tumbled out of all manner of holes.
There were so many that the
sidewalks were black with them.
They all tried to get out of the
city and back into the hills. But
as each came to the end of a street
there was a wall of flame. One by
one the snakes were burned. And
then Eric whispered to his winged
horse to set them down in the
square.
The three brothers dashed in and
out of houses. But everywhere they
went there was the same desolation.
They didn't find a soul in the city.

Two More Princes Given Freedom.
The young men flew to the Iron
Mountain quicker than 1t takes to
tell. And there in the entrance,
half way up the side, they could
see another handsome young man
waving his red cap from side to
side to attract their attention.
Eric refined in his flying horse so
that they settled down easily to
the narrow ledge where the young
man stood.
Eric's friend leaped out of the
saddle with one move and threw
his arms about the second young
man. They both shouted, Broth
err"
Eric grinned happily at their
pleasure. Then the two turned
around and said, "A thousand
thanks to YOU"
But now how shall I tell you
apart?" said Eric.
The two youths laughed. The
one Eric had found inside the cir
Gle of fire bowed and said, II am
Harald of Thuringia, heir to the
throne"
The second lad bowed and said,
Sand I am Peter, his brother, Sec
ond in line"

hind the East Wind must be your

Waves Blue Cap.
They all three jumped onto the
back of the winged horse and hur-
ried to the castle behind the East
Wind. AS they circled down over
1t they saw a young man excited
~ waving at them with blue cap.
Eric brought his horse down be-
side the young man and, sure
enough, it was Conrad, the third
brother. There was just enough
room to seat him on the horse.
