Daily Short Story
Nv MARY BRUSH WILLIAMS


CTELLA ARNOLD had always
~ identified herself with bis
business. At the age Of 6 she hao
a dime 10 invest, and she decided
10 put II into oranges. There were
three TO be had for 10 cents or for
the same price single biz one.
She considered, all the while lis
tening profoundly to advice, which
was to take The three for 10, be-
cause she would get more juice
and they were just as good, that
is almost as good, or good enough.
II she had heard Of the system
she might have asked TO have them
sent on approval. AS 1t was, she
decided:
ell take the big one" and
went home contented.
SIMILAR DECISIONS
So. later in life, she made SINH
lar decisions. When at the age OF
Is. she came 10 New York with
500 and no prospects, everybody
told her where 10 put IL.
They advised an unpretentious
bank where they required no mini
mum balance, but charged for
each check made.
She gave the matter considera-
ton. and decided on the one which.
though today requires minimum
Of a thousand, still fosters her few
struggling dollars.
Between then and now, in a
mild. remote way. she came TO
know the president OF it.
Evidently she had more person
atty for him than he for her, be-
cause on the street she did not
recognize him.
Yet in a large situation in life he
was of service.
One of the big lawyers Of his
day happened to be affiliated with
that bank, and Stella knew him.
She was acquainted with the
most unexpected people. When her
husband decided she would not
do any longer as a wife, she
needed a little OF the money she
had put into the compact, and
she looked this man up as being
the biggest lawyer of his day.
Everybody, as with Z, oranges
advised her to get a specialist.
This one would charge half of all
she got and would neglect her be-
sides for larger matters.

Nelson And Clare
 Meet Hogan, Grant at Race Brook Sunday

Orange, May l3. - When Byron Nelson and Ben Hogan, teamed up respectively with Charlie Glare and Bobby Grant, meet in Q two ball, best ball match at the Race Brook Country Club outside of New Ha- ven on Sunday afternoon, two of professional golfs keenest rivals, will be seen in action for the first time in the history of the game in Connecticut. Despite the fact that Hogan has held the famous War; don Trophy, symbolic of low-scor- ing honors among the nations lead- ing pros, the last two years in suc- cession, and Is well in the lead for the third year, he has never beaten Nelson in title match. Three times they have met with the chips down, first in 6 caddy champion ship in 1926, then in a playoff of the Texas Open in 1040, and most recently in the Masters Tourna- ment in Augusta last month, and Nelson has been returned the win- ner each time. That the rivalary will flare anew this weekend goes without saying.
 Four Champions
 The teaming of Charlie Glare, Race Brook star, with Nelson, and Wethersfields ace, Bobby Grant, with Hogan, adds an interest to the affairs that cannot be denied, for both amateurs have long ranked at the top of Connecticut golfdom. Each has been New England cham pion, and each has won the state title, Clare, by the way, three times. Tn Connecticut invitation Tourna- lments both have been entered more times than they can remember, and on several occasions they have clashed in the finals, with honors not far from even. Afleld they have both played in the National Anna teur and National Open, and Glare has won the famous Arcola Cup down Jersey way.
 Interesting
 The match thus provides three interesting angles. First, two teams of star players, two of whom will be playing a course without benefit of a previous practice round, thus calling into play their greatest skill to overcome this handicap. Second, the two leading professionals of the day coming to grips hardly more than @ month after one of their greatest matches. Third, the friend ly feud of Glare and Grant, whose every meeting brings out devotees of golf in great numbers. The four some tees off at 2:3O, and the larg- est golf gallery in many years should be at the heels of the players.

 His new manager, one Willie Ketchum, has cured Stolz of most of his miseries and the chance of winning the title has cured him of the rest. StolE won't get another opportunity to fight a champion in a long, long while and he must make the most of those 15 rounds tomorrow. Accordingly, blood f1g- llres to begin splashing early.
 As for Angott, well, he is the same Angott. What he lacks in punch, color and true boxing skill he compensates for in stubbornness, strength and sheer cuteness. The latter quality can't be under-rated, for it still is a cardinal rule in the manly art of self defense that Q boxer can't hit what he can't see. And I don't think Stolz will see much of Angott except between rounds.

 At Municipal Stadium, the 1 o'clock feature" game may prove to be very interesting as 1t brings together the defending champs from the Brooklyn A. c. and the Overlooks, surprise winners over the Tommies last Sunday. The Looks passed out two or three surprise packages last season, too, but wound up in the league cellar" Tribunes and Mill Plain A. c. are down for the 2 o'clock game at the stadium. while the Washington Park pro- gram calls for North End Tommies and Sacred Hearts at 2 p. m. with the Aviglianese and Washington Hills in the { o'clock contest.
