Springfield—The fight talks the New York Giants have been getting evidently have taken ef- fect. They showed plenty of scrap in Wednesday’s game with Detroit and finished up with a mass argument with Umpire Jack Carroll that resulted in the ban- ishment of Dave Bancroft from the field.

But I will say that we have made good strides in improving the club and that we will be fighting for a Place in the first division. Especially pleasing is the way the pitching staff shapes up since Tommy Thomas and Ted Lyons have shown a return to form. Last year they were handicapped by ailments, The addi- tion of Jones and Hadley, from the Senators, according to my old friend Billy Evans, will assure the White Sox 20 more games than they won last year. I certainly hope Billy is right in this respect. There are a lot of new faces in the jeamp this year. My job will be to {find some men among the newcomers jwho can produce base hits. The pitching staff stacks up favorably with any in the league, but must be} given some runs to work on. | Two recruits from the Texas League jhave been impressive. One is infield- er Carey Selph from Houston, who was voted the most valuable player in the league last year. He hit 322, We have. been using him at third and second base. The other is Ralph Erickson, left-handed pitcher from Dallas. Among his 15 wins last year was one no-hit game, which speaks highly for his ability. Minter Hayes, who came to us in the trade with Washington, also plays second base. Cissell, at short is a holdover, as is Blue at first. Blue hit .304 for us last year. Then we have young Joe Sullivan, from Notre Dame, who played fine ball the latter part of last season for us. Shortstop Greg {Mulleavy, recalled from Toledo, is |among the reserves. Two of the new outfielders have shown good work in training. These tare Harold Anderson, from St. Paul, |who hit 315 last year, and Bruce | Campbell, recalled from Little Rock. | | ‘Shamrocks Hope | to Annex Crown| Chicago Hockey Team to Meet \ Duluth Hornets in Key | Contest Tonight Minn., April 7.—()—The 1932 champion of the American Hock- ey League may be crowned here to- night as the Chicago Shamrocks, vic- torious in the first two games of a best three out of five series, meet the /Dulua Hornets in the third game jhere.

It was this lack of stamina which handicapped Ray Conger in the 1,500 meters at Amsterdam, where he had to run three times in three days. Nordell’s performance in the inter- collegiates was typical of the spirit and the ability of this Philadelphia youngster, who was a star on the North Catholic high school team of the Quaker city a few years ago. He ran everything there from the quarter mile up to the mile and sometimes all of them in one afternoon with a relay or two thrown in for good measure. Last Minute Sub He had intended to run only the mile in the intercollegiates the other night but when an appendicitis attack put Harold Lamb in the hospital and forced the shift of Milton Sandler from the Violet two mile quartet to the mile relay team, Nordell readily stepped in to the vacant place. Is was in the two mile relay he ran his 1:54.2 half. 1 It was a breath-taking effort and only few of the spectators expected him to complete successfully. He ap- peared well run out when he finished the mile, a step when he started the last leg of the two mile relay six yards behind Bernard Moynahan, of Boston college, few gave him a chance to win. Nordell followed close on Moyna- han’s heels for the first lap of the track but then he went out in front and stayed there despite the deter- mined efforts of the Boston runner and John Ryan, of Manhattan college to catch him. Nordell stumbled as he broke the tape and went down in a heap but he soon recovered. Just to show he wasn't run out he entered a 1,500 meter handicap race two days later. gave away as high as 100 yards and finished eighth in a big field, only 15 yards behind the winner. H { Rough and Ready Run While on the subject of willingness | to take on any and all opponents at any time, don’t overlook little Eddie Ran, the Polish boy who has been belting over a lot of them in the welterweight division.

Her eyes were said to be like La Craw- ford’s, in their depth and size. The sirl’s face had the strong, clear-cut, yet utterly feminine contour of the motion picture star's. Susan’s figure was lovely, too—slim and nicely curved in the right places. Al- though how anyone could be ex- pected to look attractive in Cousin Rue’s season-before-last blue serge suit Susan didn’t know. The girl had tried to be optimis- tic but sometimes when she went to movies and saw the adorable gowns the film stars wore she came home feeling cheated. She could m never hope to wear anything but a $9.96 frock from Weegman’s basement, Aunt Jessie thought there was no place like Weegman’s basement, Susan looked up from her rev; erie to find the handsome boy at the next table gazing at her, Odd for that good-looking, superior chap to be attending business school! He was “Mister Dunbar” to the class and Helen had whispered, the day before, that he had been at Harvard, had been dropped, and that his father was making him Hallowell and; “go in for business in a big way.” | Poise | “The Dunbar Wheel Works,” Helen had explained, important be- cause she knew. And Susan had glanced again at the husky, tall young man with interest, It wasn’t often she had the opportunity to see such a youth at close range. All the boys who grew up in Aunt Jessie's neighborhood were learn- ing to be plumbers or driving laun- dry wagons or doing something equally exciting. Young Mr. Dun- bar seemed a prince from a strange land. Susan liked to listen to the rumble of his deep voice when he read his notes back to the dapper Miss Allen. It seemed faintly ri- diculous that a young man who had attended junior proms, who had played football and made the college crew should be translating, “Your letter of the ninth instant re- ceived and contents noted” to a shorthand teacher. i Susan squeezed the tears back and pretended not to know that Mr. Robert Dunbar was staring at her. Just the same, his interest made the girl’s heart unaccountably, lighter, She set to work again with the pot-hooks and dots, She would conquers this wretched book! She would! i ‘When she went home that eve- ning she was able for the first time to endure without flinching the packed street car with its swaying mass of sticky, tired humanity. The car ploughed west, stopping at al- most every corner, swaying, jerk- ing, clanging. But Susan hardly noticed, She was absorbed in a dream of her own—a dream in which a tall, fair, ruddy young man with enormous blue eyes played the hero's part, Aunt Jessie spoke to her twice at supper before Susan looked up guiltily. “I didn’t hear what you said,” she stammered. eee ASNT JESSIE looked annoyed. Prim she was, 50 odd, her gray hair done pompadour in the fash- fon of her vanished youth. “Don’t see how your mind can ever be on your work, the way you | dawdle at things,” Aunt Jessie said sharply. “I asked you if you want- ed some more potatoes.” Susan shook her head dreamily. “Nothing but a shadow, anyway, that’s what you are,” scolded Aunt Jessie. “You girls nowadays and your dieting—!” Susan looked down at her elim curves and laughed. No need for her to diet. She weighed 118 Pounds. She was tall, too, and that helped. It was best to be tall this year of trailing skirts and what the magazines called “the ro- mantic frock.” Not that Susan owned any such! Her best frock was the last year’s organdie that Aunt Jessie had let down. It had been Susan’s class day dress. It was pink and had a huge bertbha collar, Susan adored it, It was the nearest thing to a sure-enough party dress she had ever owned. After she had helped Aunt Jeasio with the dishes the girl flew to her room to see if the pink frock had been ironed. Aunt Jessie had promised to have it ready. But no, there was no pink dream of a dress hanging in the narrow little closet, Susan's heart sank. Mary Ruth O'Hara was to call for her at eight and here it was half bast seven already. She called down the narrow pas- sage. “Yoohoo, Aunt Jessie! I can’t find my organdie any place.” Eyes Examined Glasses Prescribed The eye'is an organ you can’t afford to neglect. Dr. H. J.

D. ‘ eee Use the Want Ads ‘ The sharp voice came back, tinged with fresh annoyance; “Ex- pect me to do everything! ‘Sif I could get around to that extra job with the spring cleaning and all—" ! Susan sank down on the bed, her ‘brows crinkled with despair. She fhad promised! Aunt Jessie had promised! | The ready tears started to her ‘eyes, Then of a sudden she dashed ‘them away after a quick glance at ‘the clock. | “11 do it myself,” she said. She tushed into the little bathroom where she washed her hands vigor- ously, ridding them of the ecent of | yellow soap and dishwater. She dashed cold water on her reddened eyes and flew to the kitchen. Aunt Jessie was in the back yard, discuss- ing lettuce plants with Mrs. Soren- | Son, who lived next door. | Susan put the ironing board into place and plugged in the cord. She rooted out the dress in its towel wadding and sprinkled it anew. Her fingers flew and her breath came faster. Aunt Jessie hadn't wanted her to go to Rose Milton’s party. ‘That was the real reason she hadn’t ironed the pink organdie. Aunt Jessie was always doing things like this. She had forgotten what it was to be young and spent most of her time trying to repress the nat- ural youthful impulses of her niece. But Susan would not let her con- quer. She was young and that meant being alive, hopeful. Sud- denly she began to sing. Aunt Jessie, coming in from the yard, regarded the girl with irritation. “Land’s sake!” said Aunt Jessie with some asperity. “You going to that fool jamboree, anyhow? T thought you'd get to bed early for once and have done with all this gallivanting.” Susan smiled at her. Her lips curved and she said good-humored- ly, “Answer that front door, will you? That's a lamb! I hear Mary Ruth on the front stoop.” | coe T= Miltons’ front parlor was | filled to overflowing when Su- san and Mary Ruth arrived. Susan felt shy. Most of the girls were coming with their “boy friends” and only she and Mary Ruth, who was little and skinny and had buck teeth, came alone—Mary Ruth be- cause she had never had a “boy friend” and Susan because Aunt | Jessie wouldn’t let her come with anyone. So Susan had no admirers. She had to go to her few parties un- escorted. Usually she didn't mind but tonight, somehow, she hated it. “Hurry up, can’t you?” she asked Mary Ruth rather pettishly. Susan fairly ran up the front steps and into the front’ parlor when they reached Rose Milton's home. She saw a confusion of eyes, heard a gabble of tongues. She rushed straight upstairs to the front bedroom where she took off her last year’s panama hat, de- positing it on the already over- crowded double bod. Suddenly Susan felt she must. be going to cry. She wondered why she had come.’ She would ba miserable, all evening. She just knew it! She would sit in a cor- ner smiling a stiff, set smile and trying to look as if she were hav- ing @ good time. The other girls would dance with their escorts to the music of the radio and Susan would sneak out to the kitchen and beg to be allowed to help with the refreshments just to conceal from the assembled company the fact that she wasn’t enjoying her- self, Ob, she wanted to run away! Everything was horrible and life was hopeless}, { (To Be Continued) REQUEST FoR BIDS ¥ UR« MISHING STATE OF NORTH Dat KOTA WITH MOTOR VEHICLE PLATES FOR ‘THE YEAR 1933 Notice is hereby given that propos- als for furnishing ‘to the Motor Ve- hicle Registration Department, State of North Dakota, one hundred fifty thousand pairs passenger automobile plates, twenty-five thousand pairs truck plates, nine hundred and seven- .ty-two pairs dealers’ Plates, three hundred pairs duplicate passenger and truck plates, tive hundred pairs offi- cial plates, one thousand pairs com- mercial truck plates, fifty motorcycle side-car plates, five hundred trailer plates, two hundred motorcycle plates, one hundred sample plates, ten pairs duplicate official plates, twenty pairs duplicate commercial plates,” being: a total of one hundred | seventy-eight thousand six hundred fifty-two plates, more or less, as may be needed quring: the calendar year of 1933, will be re- ceived at the office of the State High- way Commission, in the city of Bis- marek, North Dakota, - until 10:00 o'clock a, m. on the 15th day of April, 1932, Such plates to be furnished and delivered at the Motor Vehicle Regis- tration Department, Bismarck, North tion to the office of Mot. ve Registrar.
