Is Material for a Pulp Thriller

wind Of his escape. It's q long
drive from where the Stephenses
met to the border. The Pasquels
are powerful men. It was no time
to take chances.
Young Vernon walked out Of the
hotel as though going for o stroll,
His father was waiting In the car.
The Stephenses decided, upon
approaching the border, TO run no
risk Of being detected ct the last
minute.
A quarter Of q mile before they
reached the boundary line, Vernon
left the car. He was clad only In
sports shirt and Stacks, looked like
any other young man out to see
the sights Of Old Mex.
Much Of Saga Has Not Been Told
His father drove into the United
States and waited. Vernon ans
wered the usual perfunctory ques-
lions asked first by the Mexican
officials and then the Americans.
They passed him without question.
He was back In his own country,
where the baffled and angry Don
Jorge Pasquel couldn't lay hands
on him except through the courts.
There was no fear Of the law In
STEPHENS mind. He knew he would
have powerful forces fighting on
his side.
Vernon didn't have toothbrush,
a necktie or an extra Handkerchief
with him when he was delivered
back TO the Browns.
But he did bring along the bat
ting eye that made him the home
run champion Of the American
League last year.
Luke Sewell was willing TO re.
place the toothbrush, the cravat
and the hanky.
There Is much Of the saga OF
Vernon Decatur Stephens, Jr.,
that has not been told, such as
who arranged to have his telephone
conversations with Don Jorge Pas
uel recorded. The boy himself
hardly would think Of that detail.
But what has leaked out may In
time become baSeball'S super seven
star production.

Washington, April 10 CUP -
President Truman, who can fog EN-
in with either hand, cuts loose to-
day with the ceremonial first pitch
that opens the 1916 Major League
baseball season.
1t will mark the first time since
the dark days In 194l that chief
executive has done the honorary
hurting, During the intervening war
years, when draft-riddled baseball
kept going only by the grace Of the
White House, the chore was dele

Mr.. Truman was promised partly
cloudy and cooler" weather for his
debut as an opening-g pitcher"
This represented a welcomed revi-
sion Of the original promise Of show
ers, which threatened TO mar the
Washington Senators-Boston Red
Sox inaugural.
Every president has taken turn
at tossing out the first ball since
William Howard Taft started the
tradition In 1910. But Mr.. Truman
whose hurting experience Is limited
largely to horseshoe pitching, has
something different 10 offer. He's
advertised as a southpaw. Actually,
he Is ambideXtrous.
It's toss-up whether he will take
his wind-up as left-hander or q
Highlander. II he chooses the
southpaw stance, Washington will
see hiStory's first presidential port
side pitch at an opening game.
After he losses his one pitch, Mr..

Waco and Houston got their noggirs
and kankrollS together, then, in a
few minutes time decided to back
Nelson, the native son, $50, 900 worth
against Burton on ANY NEUTRAL,
COURSE. Last heard Of Mr.. Burton
of Britain was that he cannot come
to the U. 8. to play Nelson in late
May or early June. which seems to
me sort Of publicity stunt on the
