clump of fragrant greenery and
came into view with Lola walking
with him.
Tempe stopped first. Quite in.
voluntarily her mouth popped
open, and Gayle glanced at her.
Instantly Gayle was struck by
the expression on the smaller girls
face. emple Hyde, who could be
SO bubbly and cute most of the
time, suddenly showed anger. Or
indeed, it seemed to be more than
anger. 1t was more like hatred.
and this was the second time Gayle
had observed it there. It didn't
last long. In the same moment,
virtually, Tempe got control Of her

spoke brightly.
There they are!"
Gayle said nothing. They all
came up to Jeremy and Lola, and
Tempe spoke again.
You're my date, jeremy" she
said, ever so sweetly. We're going
to have a picnic, and there aren't
enough men to go around. You're
mine"
It was a nice thing to say, a
friendly gesture quite normal in
every way, and yet Gayle couldn't
help watching the other girls face
now. Jeremy, though, declined the
honor she offered him.

with words, "1-yes. Lola-M S S

Lola interrupted, dark eyes sud-
denly wide and happy.

1t was about 20 minutes later,
before the meal had been served
and before the group had assem-
bled at the picnic spot, that Gayle
allowed ~curiousity to get the better
of her. Honest, girlish curiosity.
She and Temple were together
alone again.

If I only knew how! Who will

I will" cried Tempe Hyde.
II am older than Tempe, Mr..

more experienced, I'll bet. I shall

"Hush!" Gayle commanded.
"Mr. Merifield and l are already
engaged. Or have you forgotten,
sir?" She pretended alarm.
He matched the mood and spoke
seriously. II have always wanted to
be a polygamist. May 1 not be

work and a little money laid aside.

Everybody laughed then, a n d
Gayle cried out, Cant trust you!
But we came to invite you to a
picnic. You can have that date with
us all. On the lawn"
He accepted the date with court
ly courtesy. So obviously pleased
was he that all the girls fingered
to talk a bit more. Mr.. Weems
came in and was invited. The two
old gentlemen we're to meet the
girls at $50 on the lawn; they

He wasn't in the library, she re-

Nobody knew just where he might

could easily become lost, for it had
three stories of several large

Col. Louis Johnson, assistant secretary of war may visit Fair banks again this coming sum mer. Word to this effect came in letter to the News Miner, ack nowledging receipt of copies of recent issues of the paper. In a postscript he says:
 Hope to see you again next summer. AS you know we are doing everything we can to give tn proper defense to Alaska. and we are happy to have the fine support which you are giving to our efforts"
 Col. Johnson was a visitor in Fairbanks in August, 1888 when he flew there in an army bomb CT accompanied by Col.

The Fans Corner

This weeks games will mark the end of the first half of the baseball series. Perhaps it would be well at this time to explain just what is meant by that half business.
 This year the baseball series is to be run in two halves. The team winning the most of the first three games merely earns the right to play the winner of the last three. In other words, while team may not have won any of the first three games, they may recover in the last three and still have chance to play off for the trophy. Brief ly. it gives the underdog a break and this column is all for it.
 It is with a great deal of tenn erity, even humility, that the Old Fan touches upon this next subject. That is the singing out of Balls and Strikes, Safe and Out, Fair and Foul, that emanat- es from the bleachers. It isn't what it does to the umpireS who are by the way, legitimate prey at anybody's ball game, it is the fact that it confuses the players, the spectators and the issue that makes it a poor practice.
 Now far be it from me to cen sure or to measure the degree of fans rabidness or violence. Having been bitten early in life by the baseball bug, I am no judge; yet in the interest of good games and good sportsmanship may we not refrain from the above particular phase of our roofing?
 Now a word to the umpires: Won't you, in the case of a strike. throw your right arm out smart ly and ball, your left? Do both smartly. It will help. Your Safe and Out signals are understood by all, but make them quickly and decisively.
 For fair batted balls, throw up your right arm, for those batttd foul, your left. If you will do all those things the players, the spectators, and your umpiring colleague will know what is what.
 Now to avoid seeming an "Old Scold' let's go down there next Wednesday night and give 'em All the Well-known Razzberry!!

soft touch" when the pair meet
in the main bout of eight rounds
tomorrow night at the Randolph
Cloves Stadium. Having attended
both shows when Montanari knocked
out Howard Wright and then fought

to come up against the hardest hitter
he has faced and with a boxing
style as unorthodox as his own.
To that end the Waterbury boy
went to the Pioneer gym in New
York to train for Montanari, which
means that he will be ready for any
thing and everything when he steps
into the ring tomorrow evening.
Montanari is also leaving no stone
unturned to he right" when the bell

Mamaroneck, N. Y, Sept. IL
(UP)-This Is 'black Wednesday"
in the National Amateur Golf
championship - the day when "a
men start match play soon after
sun rise and only 16 are left at sun
down.
Two 18-hole rounds will be played
today across the long, tough course
at the Winged Foot Golf Club. The
16 who still are in the running at
dusk will be the best among the
more than 1000 who played in sec
tional qualifying rounds all over the
country last month.
The game today is man against
man rather than medal play which.
ended late yesterday. The GA low
scorers out of the LAG who attempt
ed to qualify are the only ones left
in this tournament and the casualty
list Is appalling.
Among the survivors are four for
mer amateur champions Willie
TurneSa, Budd Ward, Jess Sweetser
and Johnny Fischer. All of them
are in the lower half of the draw,
which means that only one will be
left when the finals are played on
Saturday. That would be an I'M
usual situation except for the fact
that the man who has been hottest
in this tournament Is in the upper
half of the draw. He never has won
the title, but he is playing on his
home course and he won the medal
after the qualifying rounds yester-
day with a brilliant lao for So holes.
His name is Dick Chapman, OF
Greenwich, Conn.
Golf is a tickle game but right
now she is smiling on Chapman.
The 140 that he shot yesterday and
Monday was SO good that nobody
could get closer than five strokes to
it. And only two could do that
Ward and w. B. Mccullough, Jr.,
of Arlington, Pa.-who shot las for
the SO holes.
Four Ex- Champs Out.
The Sidelines are populated by
many famous names. Leading them
is that Johnny Goodman, Omaha,
Neb., former amateur and open
champion, who took an 80 yesterday
for a total Of 158, which was three
strokes too many even to get him
into the play-off for the Gath place.
Three other former amateur cham
pions were keeping Goodman COM
pany-Chick Evans, who had 1854:
Francis Ouimet with 1866; and
George Dunlap who had 1856.
Bing Crosby, hte Hollywood Groom
er. also was a spectator today. He
had bad total of 160, far too much
to qualify, but he decided to re-
main here and watch the rest OF
the tournament. Crosby, a short
hitter, had trouble reaching the
greens and he also said his pitch
shot of the fairways proved trou-
bleSome.
The tragedy of this tournament
was played by a youngster named
Johnny Cree of Hamburg, N. Y. On
Monday he shot a brilliant IL, one
under par, and 1t seemed nothing
could keep him from qualifying.
But yesterday he went out in a bad
AZ and continued to shoot bad golf
on the back nine. Then on the 10
hole disaster really struck him. He
took a terrible nine, highest score
for any one hole in the tournament,
and when he finally finished the
back nine he had a As for an ".
That gave him a 36-hole total OF
158 and put him out.

New York, Sept. 11.-(UP)-The
United States Golf association met
behind closed doors not 50 long ago
and, with closed minds, barred Jim
Ferrier Of Australia from playing
in the National Amateur champion
ship now III progress few miles up
the road from here.
When word Of the ban first came
out there was much speculation as
to the cause of it. Everyone agreed
that Jim must have done ;cme-
thing pretty terrible, such as shoot
ing clay pigeons on the ground, or
robbing birds nest, or teeing up
his ball in a water hazard. There
was even rumor that he had tried
to keep his gloves on while being
fingerprinted as an alien.
But everyone was wrong. He had
done something much worse than
any Of these things-Jin-and the
U. s. G. A. blushed right down to
the roots Of its last rule and regula-
ton at having to announce it-Jim,
it said, had written book. There
were no ifs, ands, and butts about
it, the u. s. G.. A. said-they had
confronted Terrier with the proof
and he had admitted to being an
author.
He said, yes, he was the author
of Jim Terriers Golf Shots" pub
lished in Australia. He denied that
it was a book of golf instructions
which would make him profess
sional, but simply telling of how
he made his unorthodox shots. II
he had wanted to Terrier (now SIM
ply No. 34755 in the U. S. G. A. file
of miscreants) could have pointed
out that Lawson Little used up a
mess of goosequills and foolscap
while enjoying the same pure-as-
driven-snow rating from the U. S
G. A.
Should Be Welcome
It seems to me that any of the
United States athletic governing
bodies would welcome athletes capa-
BILE of sitting down and writing a
book, if only for the novelty OF
change of pace. We have so many
athletes whose conversation Is limit
ed to sounds not unlike that of seals
asking for food, and whose literary
talents are limited to writing home
for money. A player who can read
and write and talk on subjects other
than one involving half spinners
conceded puts, backhand volleys
and right uppercuts, should be well
treated.
But to get back to Ferrier, who
would be the favorite to win the
title if he had been allowed to play
at Winged Foot this week. Why did
the U. s. G. A. wait so long to tell
him he couldn't play in our anna
teur championship? The Austral-
ian has been in this country some
five months, and officials must have
known about his book. And Fer
riers whereabouts could not have
been mystery, because he has been
playing-and as an accepted anna

Belloise Faces
Hard Hurdle In
Garcia, Thursday
Especial to The Democrat)

New York, Sept. lit will be
youth against age, ambition against
experience, but mostly it will be
punch against punch when Steve
Belloise, sensational young Bronx
middleweight, opposes Ceferino Gar
cha, former world champion, IN a
ten-round match at Madison Square
Garden on Thursday night.
Garcia, of course, has long been
known as one of the great punchers
in boxing. His celebrated "Bolo
Punch" earned him two shots at the
world welterweight crown and later,
when he had put on additional
weight, brought him middle
weight title opportunity on which
he capitalized by knocking out Fred
Apostoh to win the championship.
The Filipino lost his laurels several
months ago to Ken Overlin but he
hopes to regain the title.
Belloise Is a newcomer to the top
flight middleweight category. Like
Garcia, Belloise also did most Of his
fighting as a weller until added
poundage forced him to compete in
the heavier division. He will not be
"a years old until next December
and has had only 81 fights but vir-
tually all boxing experts who have
seen him in action stamp him as
being definite championship calibre.
Garcia Getting "Old"
Although Garcia, with 108 fights
and 81 kayo triumphS in his record,
will have q distinct advantage over
the Bronxite in the matter Of ex-
perience, Steve has a decided edge
in age-Garcia is 30-and in speed.
The wiry Belloise Is as agile and
adept at 154 pounds as was his
brother, Mike, at 1875.
Belliose has won almost half his
fights by lnockouts-15 Of his 81. In
the past few months he has halted
Irish Eddie Dunno, Winnie Vines,
Wicky Harkins, and Victor Delhi
curti, the latter's kayo being the
first Of his career. Dunno, Harkins,
and Dellicurti were all finished OF
In a single heat.
While Gracia's best punch Is his
''Bolo"-a looping right hand upper
cut-Belloise specializes In hooks. It
Is an orthodox punch thrown in a
most unorthodox manner by Bel
loise. He carries his hands far In
front Of his body. but he Is able to
get remarkable leverage from this
stance. He throws 1t with speed,
precision, and power.
