BeIIak Counterpart
OF Kovacs in Table
Net Tournament
Rivals Clown Of Tennis
After Shorine Victory
In Mixed Doubles
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, April 5.-The win
ner of the mems national table
tennis championship is Lou Pag-
iaro of New York, but the guy who
won acclaim as the peoples choice
is Lazlo Bellak, the hilarious Hun
garian, who was eliminated in the
Semiinal round.
Bellak isn't quite as funny as
Frank Kovacs. the tennis funster
who also is a Hungarian, but that's
only because table tennis doesn't
offer as much scope as lawn tennis
Kovacs won his spurs as the best
ball-biter in the business, but Bel
lax went him one better by kissing
the ball, then kissing his doubles
partner, Mrs. Reba Monnes Of New
York after they had the mixed
doubles championship.
Free With Kisses.
BY way of showing it was no fluke
Bellak kissed a few more female!

CHICAGO, April 5.-Adoption of
a new constitution and induction of
Elmer Layden as either president Of
the National Football League or
commissioner of pro football, or both,
comprised the business facing the
club owners of the loop in the sec
ond of their three-day meeting here
today.
In the wake of Carl L. Storck's
resignation as president yesterday,
terminating his 20 years associa-
ton with the league, Vice President
Dennis Shea was to preside as to-
days session opened. Layden's
election as president was slated as
the first order Of business, with the
adoption of a new constitution, pro-
viding for a commissioner, next.
Whether Layden will retain the
presidency after he has accepted the
commissionership is problematical.
1t fell to the Washington Redskins
and Chicago Cardinals to make the
first trade of the meeting. In ex-
change for Halfback Jimmy john
ston, their second leading scorer last
year, the Redskins obtained X
Aldrich. Texas Christians all-Amer-
lea center in 1888, and Shad Bryant

of Banks McFadden in '39, but who

CHAPTER FIVE

Jan felt herself 60 hot all over.
She stood stiffly in her corner. no
one recognizing her. If she could
slip out another way but she
well knew that there was no other
way
They must not know she had
heard. Then she remembered
something her father had told
her once: Money doesn't
make ladies' and gentlemen"
Now these words meant some
thing to her.
Raising her chin proudly, she
stepped into the light of the hall.
Fania Van Vliet, slim and sinuous
in black chiffon and lace, the light
of the prisms above caught in her
reddish hair, was standing with her
back to Jan, surrounded by bevy
of girls in swirling chiffons and
laces.
Up the gracefully curving stairs
skirts whispered on the red carpet,
music floating down to meet the
pretty, uplifted faces.
Fania turned. Her eyes met
JAMS and went blank for mo-
ment. Then she smiled and cried,
Come here, darling, we were just
talking about youi How nice of
you to come. You know Sandra.
l think? And Mary Girard
Eloise Laughlin =" she went on
around the circle suavely, Jams
arm chummily in hers.
Reluctantly. Jan admired
her pOise. She didn't like
Peters stepmother, but she
envied the ease with which she
could carry off a bad moment.
Fania knew very well that Jan
had overheard her, but she would
suffer only momentary regret
and shrug it off as "one of those
| things, my dear"
AS Fania moved away, Jan look
ed around for Peter. He was not
in sight, but Philip Carr beckoned
to her from the stairs.
She walked up slowly beside
him. keeping pace with his difficult
limp. Philips horse had thrown
him during the Gold Cup race II
years ago. Since then, he had lived
quietly at Three Oaks with his sis.
