And the fool had struck a light!

But now up the Siderong, above the jungle, a glow was rising, a golden diffusion | spreading upward, fan-wise into the smoky a.

In this cone, detached by the surrounding inky dark, | could see Blair's hand —a big muscularjhand with 3 whale tattooed upon the back. But from where I sat, | could not see my uncle. “Pull on, anyway.

Blair’s dim lan- tern vanished, leaving both our boats lightless again, and in that starless midnight the bay was no longer a bay at all—it was such an emptiness as could only have axisted before time or light were ever created. Then, in the dark we almost barged into Biair’s whaleboat again, its men resting on their oars once more; and this time | knew at once, without asking, why Blair had stopped.

And instantly after- ana the jungle.and the sea shook with the slam of @ terrible thunder. Until James Clyde was under the water, I did not begin to reai- ize how much I had mepended on him.

Sex Punch For 193! (By Annociated Preas) { SAN FRANCISCO, April 4.— Officials of the 1939 Golden Gate International Exposition aré wotried about how best to dis- play the female form divine.

CARABALLO RED DEVILS LOST AND Caraballo Red Devils lost and won in a doubleheader yesterday at the Army Field among teams of the Monroe County Baseball League. In the first game, they were defated by the league-lead- ing Sluggers, 6 to 1, and won the nightcap from Acevedo Stars, 9 ‘to 7. The opener saw Robert Bethel, the blonde pitcher of the Slug- gers, in great form. He struck out nine, Devil hitters and was master all the way. The hitting of M. Acevedo and Al Rodriguez of the Sluggers was the feature of the game, each getting two out of three. Kelly of the Red Devils was the leading batter for that club. He collected three saféties in four trips to the late. Domenech, third baseman of the Red Devils, handled 14 chanc- és with only two errors. His fielding and throwing was very good. In the second game, it was a wild fight for runs and hits, with the Red Devils coming out on top. Mario Calleja was the batting star of this fracas, hitting three out of four, including two dou- bles. Molina pitched good ‘ball. Mal- grat was on the mound for the * Stars and was hit hard, being re- moved in the eighth in favor of E. Rodriguez. The Red Devils will have to be watched as they are now under the management of Marvin Grif- fin, who promises to have a club out there fighting all the time. He has several new faces who will be in his lineup next Sunday. So the Sluggers and Stars had bet- ter get ready for a real fight. Box scores: ’ First Game Red Devils ABR.
