sends me another letter today.
I'm quoting both letters be-
cause they illustrate a difficulty
that arises in many woman's
life, and because Jane, the
woman who writes, solved the
question by the old cure of
kindness, patience and faith.
And of course she was helped
by nice old captain of the
merchant marine!
James trouble was mother-in-
law, but not the usual thing.
Jane was a widow with two lit
tie girls when she married Sam,
and a deeply and truly success
full marriage it has been. They
now have a girl and boy, are
prosperous and devoted.
But few months after their mar
riage, before her third daughters
birth, Sam suggested that his moth

Jane was OF course agreeable.

Of the fact that we are really con-
genial. But she talks all the time!

Kearns 10 Aim High
For Poland i He
Smashes Blunt
Would Match Proteqe
Against Louis-Novu
Winner or Conn

Jack KearnS, manager of Bill
Poland, who will box Eddie Blunt in
q 25-rounder on Joe Turner's card
at Griffith Stadium, August 81, is
aiming at big bout for his protege.
Kearns talks of matching his charge
with the winner of the Joe Louis
Lou Nova meeting, although before
that may come a bout with Billy
Conn if Poland scores impresSively
against Blunt.
Poland's stock was given boost
last night when Harry Bobo scored q
two-round knockout over Lee Savold
in Pittsburgh. Poland knocked out
Bobo in the eighth heat of their bout
in Baltimore several weeks ago for
his 32d victory in 35 pro fights.
Kearns attended the bout last
night, having gone to Pittsburgh to
confer with Promoter Art Rooney
regarding a Poland-Conn match next
month on program sponsored by
Pittsburgh's Dapper Dan Club. This
hinges on Poland's showing against
Blunt here. Jersey City also is re-
ported to have made overtures re-
garding a Poland-Conn battle.
As a supporting number Turner
has signed Pat Cominskey, New
Jersey heavyweight, against Claudio
Villar, South American.

any day and almost impossible on

runs in the eighth.
The Phillies nosed out the Boston
Braves. 81, in 13 innings in the only

A double by Catcher Tommy Liv-

In the American League, perhaps
the most noteworthy item was Bob

The Detroit Tigers downed him, 20,
in the opener of a double header to
stretch Cleveland's losing streak to
six. But the Indians battled back
to win the second session, Al.
FelIer's Mates Fail Him.
Fellers defeat was caused by the
inability of his weak-hitting team
mates to do anything with big AL

Feller gave eight Even in the
nightcap Cleveland made just six
hits, Jumping all it's scoring in the
sixth inning, but Lefty Al Milnar
produced a five-hit pitching per-

Need Of Wire Fence

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 13. - A
needed wire fence, $4,000 won in
golf pool, a 74-year -old golfer and
Bobby Jones combined to fashion
a big-money golf tournament which
its sponsor declares will give spec
tators their biggest break in years.
It started two years ago when
Henry A Hurst, Philadelphia linen
dealer, won $1,000 on Jimmy Dem

Masters tournament.
Back home, l.. A. Diamond. IA.
Hurst's fellow member at Torresdale
Country Club, told Hurst he knew
good use for the $1,000. The club
needed a fence on the back nine
to keep out trespaSsers and stop
sliced balls.
Hurst said he had better idea
to raise the $4,000 for the 14,000-
| foot fence-a tournament with ST.
500 prize money, a low admission
for spectators and a grandstand
for those whose legs give out or the
| 72-hOle grind.
Out of these plans came the
Hurst invitation tournament to be
held September 10, 20, 81 at Torres
dale with the Nations top golf stars
entered.
Bobby Jones helped Hurst corral
Henry Picard, Sammy Snead, Craig
Wood and host of other top-rank-
ing pros, as we'll as crack amateurs.
Jones Cancelled an exhibition to
play in two days of practice rounds
preceding the tournament. Hurst
put up $4,000 additional money for
| the practice sessions.
And, Hurst says, Scotchman at
the club has offered $3.50 for any
one who shoots a hole-in-one dur

Chicken entrails is about the best
bait and for the best results should
be cut so the action is like a stream

Bait Presents Problem.
From one season to another. or
for that matter from one week to
another, the preference of bay fish
for one bait or another is hard to
fathom. The one real standby is the
soft crab or peeler. With an unpre-
cedented scarcity in local waters and
the top prices for those shipped in,
there are few being used for bait.
Next choice is bloodworms and, like
everything else, their cost is mount
ing.
Some anglers unjustly are berat-
ing the sports stores for proflteering.
Over this past week end they paid
up to 3 cents each for their stock
Selling them at 40 cents dozen will
not pay the express and the pack
ing. so they could hardly be classed
as profiteers. Local anglers always
have bought bloodworms at eXcep-
tionally low prices.
Dug from the black, estuary sands
OF Maine, the bloodWorm never has
been particularly profitable for the
diggers, for the middlemen or the
stores retailing them. The express
charge for perishable product is the
only bright spot in the industry.

Applause occasionally punctured
