Gibson plasters Mika with the sweet

That crack was the duplicate of one
that Tile Glutt hung on the champ of
Roughtown. The Glutt had just got
nis daily morning subpoena from the
Roughtown Commission of Rubber
Checks. The Glutt slipped in a sour
certificate on the IJpughtown hank.
He had tuned, the vibrations of his
fountain pen to call for five hundred
dollars.
When Gink found that The Glutt
had gone into the paper business,
he claimed infringement on terri
torial rights.
They fought for love. Whiner
take all.
Gink was fighting with ids fists
and retreating with his feet. In
the 67th chapter from the Book of
Queensbury, Gink laid a wild fist
over The Gluti's jawplece. The
Glutt acted like the prince of Wales
in a steeplechase.
He had a 10-mlnute picnic in the
air before he sang the kissing song
from the opera "La Canvas." Joe
Reckett wanted to make it a duet.
Rut Joe was only there as a specta

Now Dempsey is in the easiest part

Dempsey has already grabbed 200

Gink I* a real champ. He fights
because he likes It.
When he quits to his opponents,
you know he doesn’t like it.
Fighters get too much money
now. When .lolin L. Sullivan fought
Charley Mitchell, ills slice of the
purse was a souvenir postcard.
Gink never made any money
fighting. His only bankbook is a
cauliflower ear.
Firpo is stepping around labeled
as the Wild Bull of the Pampas. Gink
doesn't know what Pampas are, but
he challenges them anyway.
If Firpo Is a wild bull, then Gink
Is a toreador. He will fight Firpo
for either 200 rounds or a finish fight.
When Gibson calls MrTigue a cow

He isn't scared of any of those
limousine champs.
The public wants to see Gink fight.
They demand to see him fight. They

GINK met Lopez Garcia in
Roughtown during the
Grand Centennial of the
Arizona Wife Beaters.
Gink was president of the organiza
tion which always did its official
marching over flower beds.
Gink slammed him once. The
Mow missed Lopez by at least
three Mexicans. Hut laipez went
through tlie ring like an elephant

Gink always picked out small ref

ponents. .
Mr. Ercanbrack’s dream that he
was eating striped awnings while sail

hat Indicates that Internal revenue
agents must be dogging it in Texas.
However, the Gypsy Dream Catalogue
does not have striped awnings listed
in its retail department.

We will refer Ibis dream to the
Congressional committee on toast

.Mr. Ereanbrack smokes such
bum cigars that he has to breathe

Gink is the Leviathan of fighters.
The Leviathan sailed back to Aratr

Gink always had a broom in his

Which makes him either a bum

If there is any man on earth,
either above the waters or below

then have him call at Gink's office

Reeking Justice on this earth Is like

□AILURK to hit in the pinches
cost the Omaha Buffaloes the
third game of the series with the
Des Moines Boosters here yester
day.
Regardless of May’s weakness in
the sixth inning when the Iowan*
scored four runs, the Buffaloes
■night have won tlie contest had they
cracked nut the of pellet at the op
portune times. Five members of the
Herd were left stranfled on the
bases. In the second inning after
one was gone, t'uilup doubled to left
but was left on the base. Agpin in
the fifth, with no outs, Wilder dou
bled, but did not score.
tseenis like one day tlie Buffaloes
will hit at the right times and then
the very next day hit any time but
at tile opportune moment.
May hurled a good game until the
sixth, when he was relieved by
Prendergast. lies Moines got four
runs off five lilts in the sixth, and
all off May. But was May to blame?
Maybe he was and maybe he
wasn’t.
In the sixth McLarry Started with
a double to right. The next two Boost
ers grounded out, but when Klugman
came to bat, May hurled over two
straight balls. “Buckshot's” third de
livery was a foul tip near the Buf
faloes’ dugout. McDonald muffed the
catch, which was an easy one. This
I'ort of took tlie heart out of May.
It wasn't a hard ball to catch. Per
haps McDonald was afraid he was
going to run into the Omaha dugout,
but the fact that he had the ball in
his mitts and then dropped it, was
enough to make any pitcher dis
gusted. Had "Tex" caught the foul,
the side would have been retired, but
as it was, Klugman singled to left,
scoring McLarry with the run that
beat the Buffalos*
Here May cracked. Four succes
sive singles scored three more runs,
and Konetrliy sent an S. II. S sign
to Prendergast, who relieved the
disgusted May.
May seems to have more tough
luck when pitching than any of the
other Omaha litirlers. Several times
.this season file Buffaloes have given
"Buckshot” poor support. May isn’t
such a had pitcher. True, lie has
off days, but every so often May
pitches a mighty fine game and yes
terday he was traveling along the
path to another victory when liis
support blew up in the sixth.
It was just another tough break
foe "Buckshot."
• _
Now comes word from Tulsa that
the management of the Kt. Louis
Browns are scouting the timber for
pitchers to ship to the Oilers.
"Bill” Friei, business manager of
tlie Browns and former business man
ager of the Tulsa club, has telegraph
ed the Oiler owner to tills effect: “I
am laying awake nights trying to get
real pitchers for "Tulsa."
Fans will remember the Tulsa
chili of 193!. The Oilers were in
need of pitchers during the latter
part of the season, anil what did
the Browns do hut send Dave I>an
fortli to tile southern tram. Itaii
forth, tugethrrwlth George Boehlcr,
then hurled Tulsa to a Western
league tiennant.
This afternoon Tulsa is in second
place in tin- standings and is play
ing good hall in tiic field and at
bat. but tlie Oilers need pitchers.
Tulsa might win Its second con
secutive championship if the Browns
step in and help by sending the Oilers
hurlers.
And not so long ago the Western
league went on record ns being op
posed to the draft.
A baseball expert says some dif
ference of opinion exists as to
whether or not Rogers Hornsby
of the St. Louis Cardinals is the
greatest hitter that the National
league has produced. To say that a
present day hitter is greater than
Oeiehanty, Wagner, Lajole, Keeler,
Anson or Duffy may he a rush state
ment, and certainly will get a lot of
argument from oldtime fans, yet it
may not be very far from the truth.
Two winters ago the Cardinals
were offered *350,000 for llornshy
hy the Giants, who wanted the
famous slugger to offset the popu
larity of Babe Ruth at American
league games in this city. The
offer was rejected after a lot of
consideration, but there is no doubt
today that Hornsby is a $350,000
ball player.
\n analysis of llomsb.v's work
last season, in which he broke four
records in a league which is nearly
50 years old. entitles him to some
consideration as the National
league's foremast hitter of all time.
The new records established by
Hornsby and the other outstanding
facts of hit remarkable hitting can
pa ign last season are as follows:
Established new record for greatest
number of hits In a season with 270.
Former National league record "13,
hy Keeler, in 1879. Fortner major
league record, 248, by Cobh, In 1911.
Established new National league
record for home runs with 43, rais
ing former National league mark
by 15. Beat previous mark, 37, by
Ed Williamson, in 1887.
Established a new National
league record for driving in runs,
149: healing ( ravath's former mark
of 139. in 1913, by 20.
Established a new National
league record for total base bits in
one season, 450; bettering his own
mark of 378 total bases in 1931 by
73 bases.
Is the tirst National league .400
bitter since 1899. the last year of
the old 13-club league. The last
.400 hitters in the National league
were Delehanty and Burkett, who
hit .408 and .402, respectively, 24
years ago.
Scored 141 runs, the best run-stor
ing record In the National league In
24 years, Keeler scored 141 runs in
1839. the last year of the 12olub
league

Some Special Strokes.
NOW that the stymie is with
u again and since the season
is well under way, suppose we
take as our text today, "How to
make the ball perform on Its ear."
Golf turns up some strange cor
respondence. For Instance. I ha\e
on my desk right now, two letters
from enthusiasts. One of these wants
to know how he ran avoid slicing
and pulling white the other asks me
to tell him just how to go about
it to make the ball slice or pull.
It frequency happens that an in
tentionally sliced or pulled drive Is
of tho greatest advantni^- to the
player. In fact, Harry Yardon, tho
master, claims that golf greatest
shot ts the one wherein the player
gnituc through intentionally hooking
or "llclng Ills drive, an advantage
that coulfl he gained in no other
way. Moreover the Intentionally
curved hall always let* the player
out of some unusual situation with
out loss on his score qard.
As every expert golfer knows, an
Intentional slice or pulled shot Is per
fectly possible arid is quite frequent
ly used by skillful players. The exe
cution of such s shot Is primarily
a matter of stance, so that the face
of the club may be drawn across
the hall In such a way as to Impart
the desired curve to it. There is
rather an analogy between tho sine
and pull shot and billiard play, ns
Is also the case In a pitched baseball.

the stroke Is mastered it is one of the
easiest strokes to use as there Is a

CHARTER XX.
It occurred to Marine, and the idea
of a responsibility dried her tears
with a start, that she ought to get
word somehow to papa. Her heart ,
sprang up to think that perhaps if j
he knew Maman was so upset he j
would come back at once. She did j
want somebody so much, beside j
Jeanne and Isubelle.
But she never knew papa’s address j
when he was away on business. Per- j
haps there was something on Ma
man’a writing desk. She went quick
ly Into the salon, drew aside the cur
tains which shut off the writing
desk’s alcove from the i n Ion and be
gan rather helplessly to fumble among |
Maman’s papers and novels. There ;
were veryVew letters of any sort. 1
Maman didn’t keep up h» r correspon
dence with America very much.
Jeanne had heard Marine moving and
through the alcove curtains Murine ,
saw her now come into the salon {
with a basin of water in her hand. !
pretending that she needed to water
a plant. Marise remembered that she
must as usual arrange something to
present to Jeanne that would not re
flect on Maman’s fancifulnesa. But
perhaps Soeur Ste. Lucie had told her
something. She inquired cautiously
but Jeanne said stiffly, still outraged
at having been shut out of the room,
that she knew nothing. Everything
about her except her words said
forcibly that she cared less and that
all this foolishness was a part of the
usual nonsense.
“Oh, Jeanne, a terrible thing has
happened to poor Maman—s*he saw i
somebody swept away in the Gavarnie j
and killed right before her eyes, and
it’s upset her fearfully.’’
“Killed?” said Jeanne with a greedy
eagerness, her eyes shlnging. “how
killed? Drowned, or knocked against)
the rocks? Man, or woman? Jlavcj
they got the body out?’’
“It was probably in this morning's
paper," she said to Jeanne. “If you’ll'
get it. I ll read it to you.”
Hut Jeanne came back tn a moment
with an astonished face, saying that
Isabelle reported that, of all queer
things, Mile. Has),arren, the music
teacher, had stopped in that morning
and asked to borrow the paper.
Jeanne's astonishment never on any
oceasioti remained more than an in
itant untinged with suspieion. and
Marise, who knew tho old face so
well, saw the suspicious expression
begin slowly to color the 'surpr.se,
"What in the name of God did ihe
Haaparren want with our news
paper?" she asked herself .aloud, ob
viously snuffing around a new scent.
Marise bated Jeanne's faee when it
looked like that—crafty and zestful,
as though she were licking her chops
over a nasty smell.
They were still standing In the al
cove, beside the writing desk, when
the doorbell tang. Jeanne turned to
go. heard Isabelle open, and, standing
between the half-open'curtain, turned
her head to listen. .Marise heard
nothing but a man's voice, and Isa
belle answering, "Oui monsieur, oui
monsieur, oui monsieur.” But Jeanne
started, stiffened, and, darting on tip
toe to the door, looked around the
corner. Thw door shut, steps were
heard at the other end of the long
hallway. Isabelle was evidently
bringing the visitor to the salon.
Jeanne looked around wildly at Ma
rise, her face suddenly the color of
lead, her eyes panlc-struk. The steps
were nearer; there seemed to be more
than one man. Jeanne ran back,
pushed Marise Into the chair hi the
corner of the alcove, motioning her
violently but without a sound to keep
It;feet sdcnce, and noiselessly drew
'e curtains together before tlie al
cove. Marine heard her step qulc-kiy
tack to *he s ..... where the plant
stood niitl th. -lit ir of her tin ba . i
against the earthenware of the pot.
And then she heard her say in exactly
her usual voice, only, with a little
surprise, "Good day, messieurs, what
can I do fur you?”
"We have been sent," said a man’s
deep voice, and not a "monsieur,” but
a common sort of man, Marise coutd
tell by his accent and Intonation, "to
see and question Mme. Allen.” Jeannt
evidently went through some panto
mime of astonishment, for he explain
ed: "A purt of the inquest over the
death of M. Jean-Plerre Gamier, hut
the maid tells me she is already not
here."
Jeanne answered, and If she caugh*
her breath or flinched there was not
the smallest external sun of it, "No.'
M. rinspert. ur, our poor lady was so
terribly upset over —e;ng Mich an
awful thing that the doctor has just1
sent her for a f. w quiet tlavs' retreat ]
at the Holy Ghost convent. W hat a I
1 err,Me t'n.ng, to be sure, M. 1'In-j
sperteur.
The man answered wearily: 'tub;
bien, we shall have to see her. retrta*
r no retreat. We have the blanks
lo fill out by all witnesses, and she
in the only witness. This Is the
lnspecteur from Ht. Hauveur.”
"Oh, the poor lady Is in no state
to be questioned,” said Jearine with
an affectionate warmth In her yoke.
"Hhe is as tender hearted as a child,
and besides hail been a great invalid.
Hhe took the whole course of baths
at Haint Hauveur last season, and was
starting in again."
"Uh.” said the man, as if surprised,
"she had been at Saint Hauveur be
fore? For the baths?" And then, a*
if speaking to some one else, "it
would be harder then to establish
that she was there to meet the young
Gamier."
Jeanne seemed so astounded at
this idea, that site could scarcely get
her breath to protest. "Oh, M. l'ln
specteur, oh! Who ever heard of
anything so wild! Is that what peo
ple are saying? Oh, why!" she laugh
ed out in her amazement, "she hard
ly knew him by sight."
"Why," said the man. evidently not
speaking to Jeanne, "didn't you say |
that she ran down along the bank of j
the river, screaming that he had kill
ed himself for her sake?”
“i'es, I said that," answered an-1
other man's voice, astonished and on I
the defense, "and gpe did. too! Atnl
when the body was pulled out she
flung herself down on it and shrieked
that she wanted to die with hint.”
"Norn de Oieu!" said the first man’s
voice in extreme surprise. "Hadn't
seen him for two years!"
"No, he hasn't even been In France
since he was a little young boy!"
The first man laughed as though the
Joke were on his comrade.
The second man'a voice said, still
defending himself, but now uncertain
ly, “Very queer his following her
right up there, if he scarcely knew
her—what was he doing in Haint
Hauveur at this season, I’d like to
know, if not ..."
"Oh, as to that." said Jeanne, care
lessly. "I happen tu know why he;
was there. 1 saw the young monsieur,
day before yesterday, just as he was
about to take the 7 o clock train,
