Well, if she isn't right, he thought,
then I'm going to be sick all the rest of
my life. When a man is on touchy
Department job he shouldn't have
any emotions. He thought. you either
know how people are, or you don't,
and as he left he did a terrible and
daring thing He whistled, "You take
the High Road and I'll take the Low
Road" She smiled swiftly at him. and
he knew that she knew what he meant.
She lifted her glass in an infiniteslmal
salute, and he noticed she held her
thumb up.
He had travelled ten kilometers
along the shore road before he met his
first mo Passage" sign. He swerved
around it. A bit further on he came
upon barricade There was a sign
on it that said, mo Passage and
explained that the road was washed
away. He dismounted from the shak-
ing sedan. moved the planks aside. and
went on. Presently he overlook the
small tanker. She was still heading
north. perllously close to shore. Further
out. the destroyer had had her look.
and was steaming back to her job of
sentry duty over the harbor
The road stretched ahead, winding
with the coast line. and there was no
break in it. He was half way to St
Pierre when he came upon dozen
workmen laying concrete in dip
behind dune 1t was large as tennis
court, but it was round, and he knew
il for gun emplacement. He tried to
memorize the landmarks behind it,
without daring to slacken speed. The
Navy would like to know.
lHEN ahead he saw a garrison. with
the tricolor flying over wooden bar
racks. There was sentry box along
side the road. and in its shade a
corporal of provincials leaned back in
a cane chair, reading. He leaped up as
Homer ratified by, and shouted. Homer
caught a glimpse of him. his mouth
open. cropping for his rife. Homer bent
his head close to the wheel. He didn't
hear any shots.
He passed stone marker that read,
''ST. P.-8 X" and then he saw, on
his right. a strange city of khaki tents.
There were sixteen tents, neatly
aligned in two rows, their flaps drawn
tight.
He idled past. and would have
stopped just beyond had not a man
popped out of the nearmost tent. He
was clad only in shorts, and he held
razor in one hand. He ran with a
curious hopping motion. for the sharp,
sun-baked rocks hurt his bare feet.
He was shaven- headed, and his shoul-
ders we're burned brilliant red. He
called something, but Homer did not
wait to hear what it was. for he called
in German.
The road began to climb. 1t climbed
sharply, and in erratic circles Homer
shifted into second. then into first. At
last he reached level ground He turned
of the motor and got out.
A thousand feet directly below him
lay the whitened bones of the city of
St. Pierre, and on his right lowered
the volcano in its eternal vigil over
the corpse. Lockhart had told him to
study St. Pierre. 1t lay below him
now, silent as Pompeii. No ships rode
in its curved harbor, nor were there
trucks. or a new warehouse, or any of
the other signs he had hoped to see.
Apparently nothing at all had dis

DETROIT. June IA rangy,
keen-eyed kid with the loose,
powerful swing of Boston's Ted Will
liams is fracturing all speed records
for coming off a campus and
snatching a modest fortune. Bid
ding spiritedly for the services OF
Dick Wakefield, University Of
Michigan sophomore outfielder who
has given college farewell kiss for
the lure of cash, are eight major
league clubs.
Within the memory of veteran
baseball folk there never has been
anything to approach the soaring
offers Wakefield is receiving. Tested
against nothing more than collegiate
pitching, he is in the pretty position
of listening to figures which have
mounted to $4,000.
There is no indication the bidding
will stop there. Wakefield, who
laughingly admits he relishes his
current role, has been instructed by
two clubs to listen to all offers and
then come to them. They have told
him fatty that they will top any
bid he receives.
Detroit Expects to Win.
One of those teams is Cleveland
and the other is Detroit.
Two Cleveland scouts invaded
Briggs Stadium here yesterday as
Wakefield worked out with the Mats.
Don't get excited but the club most
likely to succeed is Detroit. Wake
field has the unqualified indorse-
ment of the Tigers Wish Egan, a
scout, whose opinion Owner Walter
o. Briggs will back with a sizable
slice of his bankroll
Washington, at least, was the first
club to get Wakefield into a major
league uniform. The Mats scouting
system, which consists of Joe Cam
bria, proudly uShered Wakefield into
the Washington clubhouse here yes
terday. He was treated quite royalty
Pitcher Arnold Anderson was in
structed to take off his spikes and
lend them to Wakefield, whose g.

Wakefield performed no miracles

Cramer fell in love with the fellows

Scouts have been swarming all
over this fellow" said Cambria
chestily, but Michigans baseball
season ended yesterday and 1 have
him here today. Other scouts told
me not to bother-that Washington
couldn't begin to meet what they're
prepared to give him-but I've been
told the sky is the limit with this
fellow"

Werewolf on Leosh

Karloff. his partner. is said to
have heart of gold, though he
resembles fiend for professional
reasons. Meeting Karloff on the
street on a dark night is an ex-
perience never to be forgotten His
gaunt figure suddenly looms up out
of the shadow, coming straight at
you.
Nice evening" says Karloff.
1T sure is" you reply. Nice dog
you got there on that leash"
That's my werewolf" says Kar-
loft "Airedale on the mothers side.
I always take him out around this
time"
well, you got nice night for it"
you say.
Sure have" says Karloff, and the
next thing you know he is gone,
leaving a slight trail of phosphorus
in his wake.
When Karloff comes charging into
the net, the bravest tennis player
draws back instinctively, knowing
that Karloff will hit the ball 10 feet
over the base line.
These four men never have ap-
peared together on one court. MY
selection, based on training form,
is Taylor and Karloff, but I think
Adams and Kieran will put up a
whale of a good fight-with Kieran
winning by knockout in the third

says it breaks up a training pro-

Early Now Mats
Lone Catcher

BY Stsff Correspondent Of The Star.
DETROIT, June THE Ma
tionals today were equipped with
only one catcher-Jake Early
and were praying nothing would
happen to him on the remainder
of Washington's Western jaunt.
Al Evans, the Mats second
string catcher, was to arrive in
Washington today with a swollen
left leg, the origin of which was
mystery to him when he left
here last night.
Should Early be injured. the
Mats would be forced to place
bald, pudgy Benny Bengough, the
former Yankee catcher, on the
active list. Coach Bengough
catches batting practice for the
Mats daily. but hasn't played for
q decade.

received offers from the New York
Yankees, Boston Red Sox, Brook
lyn Dodgers, Boston Braves and Gin
cinnati Reds. He was to work out
with the Tigers today, and tomor-
row he'll journey to Cleveland for q
tryout with the Indians.
A native of Chicago, Wakefield
says ne would prefer to remain in
the West but frankly admits he will
sign with the highest bidder. He is
leaving the final decision to his
mother. His father, former
catcher who once played with
Washington and Cleveland, died six
weeks ago.
Dad always hoped I'd be q
catcher" said Wakefield, land I'd
rather catch than play the outfield." !"
A catcher last season, Dick was
shifted to the outfield this year and
scouts say his future is there. He
led the Western Conference in hit
ting with $40 mark, but his stylish
swing and not that average is the
reason he is being regarded so
highly.
Farm Role in Prospect.
Nineteen years old and a left
handed hitter. Wakefield has been
stamped by his coach, Ray Fisher,
as the hardest hitting collegian he
ever has seen with the exception of
Charley Keller, the former Uni
versity of Maryland outfielder who
now is with the Yankees.
Detroit neWSpapermen say Briggs
will allow other clubs to become ex-
cited about Wakefield, then sign him
for flattering figure. The best bet
is that Wakefield shortly will be
playing with the Tigers Texas
League team at Beaumont with Hott
Evers, a former University of Illi-
nois outflelder, who paced Western
Conference hitters last season.
L hope the kid doesn't make the
mistake of insisting on playing
major league ball right away" says
Buddy Myer. II did that and I
know now that I'd have been a
AiAANiA bSoCCA pIdyCl II L Idu SpeIlJ a
couple of years in the minors.
If he goes to the minors, he'll
hit well and it'll build up his con-
fldence-then he'll be ready. Boy,
I'd like to have that youth, batting
stroke and power"
Mats Sign Steppon.
Eight major league clubs have ex-
pressed the same desire and the
team that lands him will pay a
record bonus for collegian. Keller,
for instance. is reported to have
signed with the Yankees for sl2. 500.
Washington players, anyway, are
convinced Wakefield is future
major league star. They were so
absorbed in watching him work that
they neglected to notice another
youngster who was working out with
the Mats. He was Willie Steppon
second baseman who was captain
OF Mlchigan's team and who has
been signed by Washington. He
probably will be shipped to Green
Vile, S. c., or Charlotte, N. c., for
seasoning.

Bigger, Better Sports
Program Planned
For Maryland
President Byrd Assures
Alumni Good Teoms
Will Be Developed

Maryland alumni and supporters
of its athletic teams today looked
toward the future with renewed
hope and confidence for Old Line
color bearers after hearing Dr. H.
C. (Curley) Byrd, university presi-
dent, last night tell the general
alumni association, in meeting at
the university, the university would
not de-emphasize athletics, but
would seek to build up a better,
more attractive program.
DR.. Byrd gave the lie to rumors
that Maryland had decided to soft
pedal sports after the most dis
aStrous year in its history in all
branches but track, but emphasized
that the interest in sports would
not be maintained at the expense
of scholastic standards. He added
that a well-rounded program of
athletics was compatible with
scholarly attainment and that Mary
land intended to have best in both.
He did not have to tell his audi
ence that next years program calls
LOT q lUU per CeuJ eIlIUllLlellJ VI
Maryland's male students in care
fully planned and attractive physical
education course. Although final
details have not been worked out
it is believed a professor will be
drafted from Springfield Mass
College to direct this work and that
boxing will be featured.
DR.. Byrd said work would begin
on a new armory costing 100000
within three weeks and while its
primary purpose is for military use
it also will fit into the physical
education scheme.
While he did not dwell specifically
on such topics as football, basket
ball scholarships or changes in
coaching staffs, the president as
sured the alumni that no stone
would be left unturned in his ef-
forts to develop winning teams and
restore Maryland to the high plane
it once occupied in sports.
