SMOKE RINGS
Smart & Unsmart
BY SAM Raglan

Well, that settles it. Or does it? I haven't quite made
up my mind about which is the better league, but the box
score proves conclusively that the National leaguers dd
of baseball as has come across the boards in some time.
Old Deacon Bill McKechnie had some smart strategy
we've seen in times. If we had to pick the hero or heroes
of the All-star game yesterday we'd say Max West and
Paul Derringer without hesitation. And if we were picking
the goats (you know the Biblical system of division) we
nominate Red Ruffing and Cronin-the latter for naming
the Yankee hurler and four other Yanks to start the game.

Three-run Homer
West hit a long home run that
drove in three Of the National
league runs in the irst inning.
Derringer held the big bad Ameri-
can leaguers into sweet submis-
sion for the first two innings and
the junior loop never got over the
feeling.
= But even at that. the fact that
the senior league did win the an
nual classic, it doesn't prove much
rs to which plays better baseball.
II the Nationals had faced any
other pitcher save Ruffing in the
first three innings, things might
have been different.
However, second guessing is
hard work, a little too hard from
this distance. So We'll let it 60 at
that.
Handbook Challenges
Old Handbook Simpson, Of Bur-
lington, who galloped many a
weary mile over this continent in
just about every form Of foot race,
has challenged the horse that out
ran a Finnish doctor down at
Charleston a few days ago.
Back in 1927 Handbook beat a
horse by a 25-mile length in a
40 mile race. The horse and Hard
rock started from Greensboro in
a race to Morehead City. But when
the horse got a few miles beyond
Wilson he fell kicking and the
sponsors of the race wired ahead
for Handbook to stop. He did be-
yond Greenville.
Handbook ran from Los Angeles
to New York in Pyle's Bunion
Derby in 1928, covering the 3,420
miles and then the next year he
a back from New York to Los
Angeles, this time the trip being
3,655 miles which he covered in
70 days. In 1885 he won a waika-
thor at High Point, walking 1,489
hours and covering $3.50 miles.
The Tar Heel distance runner now
wants to race the horse for so
miles on a track. A good PROPOSE
ton and we'll bet on Handbook.
Odds and Ends
The story was passed on as how
John Kieran tried to induce Cor
nelius Vanderbilt, who is now in
the horse-racing business, to buy
the Brooklyn Dodgers. And on
being told by Vanderbilt that he
wouldn't know what to do with a
baseball club, Kieran remarked,
well, when Babe Phelps gets a
hit, you can put Seabiscuit in to
run for him." 4

her up sharply, almost at the tun-

in the scrub out there, and SLAM

"Shut up!" he said savagely.

with a new terror. Slanty Gano

and he meant to kill her if she

caught and dragged her, hot
breath was on her neck as she
twisted her head away for the
one sure thing that would brlng
those riding men at top speed, a
woman's frantic screams.
They ripped through the air
like knives, keen with mortal ter
ror, choking out as brutal HANDS
gripped her throat. But she had
done it =.
From the far side of the ridge
answering yells came.
Slanty stopped only long en-
ough to fling her from him as. ne
leaped for the shelter of the
scrub.
A little later men were digging
and scooping with anything they
could find.
That night group of men rode
into Turkey Gulch toward the
light of a campfire, carrying a
prisoner with them. On the other
side of the fire man was being
lifted to his feet. A ghostly fl
cure, swatched in bandages,
gaunt and hollow-eyed. A dead
man risen.
"That's the man." said Lee Hol-
lister. "Lawler didn't have any
thing to do with it"
There was a stir toward Sian
ty, but Lee had not finished. HIS
voice was low, but they heard It,
First I'll take that knife you
were using, back there in the
Bonanza tunnel"
The knife had been taken away
from Stanty, but someone pro-
duced it and handed it over.
"Open it,"
Curly complied, showing two
wicked looking blades. One OF
them was broken at the tip
Francisco was helping Lee take q
bit of folded paper from his poe
ket and opening it to show a tri-
angular bit of metal. Curly laid
the scrap against the broken
blade.
It fitted. Slanty moistened his
lips.
"Slanty Gano, I accuse you you
of the murder of Matt Blair"
A murmur ran through the
group like a low growl, but Lee
went on.

Lee HOLSTER returns unexpected
ly from a trip abroad to find
Matt Blair. his foster father and
owner of the Circle v ranch, dead
by his own hand. The ranch is 60

Virginia, now owner of the ranch,
is living in New York with the
Archers, her aunt and uncle. Her
uncle wants, her to sell the ranch
to Milton Bradish, one time
Mats associate. Lee persuadeS
Virginia to return to the ranch.
Her aunt follows her, accom-

evening, Josefa Ramirez, who is
jealous of Lees interest in Vir-
ginia, dances for Lee and throws
herself into his arms just as Vir-
ginia rides past with Stanley.
Stanley visits Josefa, and is shot
from ambush. Virginia becomes
jealous of Lee and sells the
ranch to Milton Bradish. Lee pro-
poses to Virginia and she is sOr-
ry she sold the ranch. Lee tries
to get it back and tells Bradish
that Matt Blair gave him half
interest in it, making Virginia's
sale illegal. Lee disappears and
a search is begun for him. Vir-
ginia, riding alone, examine the
caved-in Bonanza, and suddenly
sees a human hand Erotruding
through the earth.

The Fans Corner

Well l was half right WedneS day night so my percentage is i'm proving.
 The Hanmons slugged their way to an easy victory over the Alaskan, winning 24 10 Is. The game was not as one-sided how ever as the score might indicate. For one inning ii was very even game,
 In the last game the Con1mer- cials won Is to l3. This was a one inning win. The game start ed out to be real "dipsy-doood- le' bu Ron couldn't stand the pressure and the Commercials scored 10 runs in one inning. This makes the second win for the Commercials in this half and the fifth one of the series,
 If the Commercials win from the Hammons in their next meet ing the series will be over. If the Hamons put over a win the last half is tried and if the Nome team also beats the Alaskans the Nome, Hammon & Commercials are all three tied.
 The Committee have indicated that the woman's series may op en nex tWeek holding back one of the mems games. If that is to happen an announcement will be made at an early date.
 The umpires appeared to be in difficulties a couple of times Wed nesday night but the Front Row UmpireS who were in excellent voice were able to keep things from getting completely out of control. Nice going Binks!
