When they advised him to go to col-| |lege he promptly balked insisting he ;wus going to play ball. | | Seeing that the youth would not {change his plans, his parents gave ! their permission. Cecil enrolled in a baseball school that Kid Eberfield ' \and Tubby Walton were conducting in Atlanta. | “What can you do?” Eberfield in- | |quired of the young hopeful. | | “I think I can hit,” Travis re-! | plied. “Well sir?” recalled Walton, re-; cently, “when he started massag-! ing that tomato with all the grace; and. skill of a finished product I 'knew we had found a real embry-| onic star.” 1 In 1931 Chattanooga signed Tra-, {vis. His beavy bat had much tu: ldo with the Lookouts winning a Southern League pennant and go- ing on to triumph in the Dixie ser- ies. Travis hit .362 his first full season in organized ball. Toward the end of the 1933 cam- paign Travis was sold to Washing- ton. He hit at a lusty pace, but his| fielding was not up to the big league standard. He started out as a third baseman but shifted to short when the Senators found themselves in need of a short fielder. Travis is anything but a finished fielder to- day. But he can hit, and if he con- \tinues at the rate he has been going |he is likely to wind up with the | American League batting title. \ Travis is not a long hitter, al- [though his blows do sail over the linfielders’ heads with pienty of zip.! ‘Maedic Paid Profi ~ 0f 3,333 Percent SARATOGA Wife Alyce McLaughlin famous team of “Amos 'n is to have a new member of the auxiliary, Alyce McLaughe lin, Chicago dancer, who is to wed Charles Correll, the “Andy” halt in Hollywood em Sept. 11.

Drummond, played by Ray Mil- land, drops into London out of the fog in his latest opus, and immed- ijately finds himsclf clin deep in mystery. He solves it, sees that the |miscreants geét their just deserts and wins the girl—all in eight ac- tion-packed hours. His old pal, “Algy,” is portrayed by Reginald Denny, and Inspector Nielson of Scotland Yard, his friendly enemy, is excellently en- acted by Sir Guy Standing. The girl in the case is charming Heath- er Angel, and the villain is that most villainous of screen villains, Porter Hall—this time with a beard! Ayl LEAVE FOR ANCHORAGE Mr. and Mrs, J. B.
