The man at the dresser turned to ask:

There was answer from the bed.
At this the man with the revolver repeated the

Milgrms legs.
The gun-carrier, with his other hand, pressed

A convulsve spasm twisted Mlgrim almost out

Sally Milgrim was voceless with horror, then
she cried out.
Her two boys, Franklin and Paul just enter
ing their teens, came running down the corridor
and were pitched headlong into the room by one
of the gunner guarding the butler.
In spellbound silence they watched the torture
of their father, their mothers face stricken with
horror, the man with the gun.
Finally Sally Migrim unable to stand any
more, exclaimed, "The ring is in the finger of my
glove the dresser"
The man who looked for it found it. He
examined it to make sure that it answered the
description Ladyfnger had given him. The main
stone was an 1S-carat diamond and there were
two smaller baguettes, the worth of the whole be-
ing $4,000 The man at the dresser pocketed the
ring, then went TO Migrims clothes closet. Taking
out double handful of neckties he knotted them

NEW YORK, July 9-CUP) -
John Whitlow Wyatt, the senti-
mental gentleman from Georgia.
shapes up today as baseball's hard
luck player of the year, for Bursitis
has stolen the speed from his
blazing fast ball and put both him
and the Dodger pennant hopes on
the shelf.
Whit was one of the key men in
the attack as the battling Brooks
drove to second place in 1910 and
games two years ago to help nail
the flag to the EbbetS field pole
and turned in 10 victories last sea-
son as the Dodgers fell short by
two games.
A conscientious workman who
loves the game, the soft spoken
wyatt had ambitions for the club
this season. He trained at Hot
Springs, Ark, two weeks on his own
hook before spring training got
under way and was in good shape
when the club reported at Bear
Mountain, N. Y His fast one never
had more smoke, and the Dodgers
day-dreamed. But then things be-
gan to break badly soon after the
season opened.
His father was i'll and Whit
rushed back to Buchanan, Ga,
losing a week of play-and much
of his control. On his return he
made several starts but some of
the zing was missing from the
high, hard one and the arm was a
little rusty.
Wyatt began rounding into shape
again until his father-in-law who
manages Wyatts cotton farm. suf-
fered a stroke. Once again the big
pitcher was off on the night train
to Georgia. Another week passed
before his return and this time he
didn't look like the Wyatt of old.
Manager Leo Durocher tried resting
him longer between turns on the
hill and then sent him to DR.. Bob
Hyland in st. Louis. while the club
continued in Chicago.

Southern California racing fans
hoped that q race track will be
built at Puente, Calf, in time for
the winter season.
Yesterday the army, rejecting a
request by Hollywood Park for a
summer meeting, approved a pro-
posed race meeting at nom
existent track at Puente.
The Hollywood ark application
was turned down because of the
plants nearncSS to vital war indus
tries, but Pucnte, 10 miles from Los
Angeles, and easily accessible, pre-
sented no such obstacle.
If the Puente project is okehed
by both the California state horse
racing commission and the racing
board, it would be constructed by
the Southern California Jockey
club, group headed by M Uniack,
Los Angeles business man, and Will

On his return wyatt demanded
his share of mound duty, and
Durocher, thinking he was ready,
sent him to the hill. Although
the Dodgers have been referred to
as the nine old men, Durocher
knew that with such men as Billy
Herman, Arky Vaughan and Augie
Galan playing good ball, the sue
cessful return of Wyatt would be
an inspiration to the team. But
Whit couldn't come through. The
old fast one still rolled up there
like a slow freight, and men that
should have been tanning were
cutting Whit's legs with liners.
