WEDNES SDAY, JANUARY 29, oe MEMORY OF THE MOON Modest Good Looker, 5: Feet 6, by Jeanne YESTERDAY: Young Taylor 4s “cleverly evasive” when Con- stance asks his reason for wante ing the ranch. Questioning Meg, the housekeeper, Constance learns that someone telegraphed the Taylor's that she was com- ing. Chapter Nine Like An Older Sister ON had sent the wire. But he was her brother. Didn’t he understand she must be making the trip for the good of the whole family, his good as much as any- one’s? Couldn’t he see beyond the end of his nose, or didn’t he care about any tomorrow? And if he didn’t, and Donna didn’t, and if her mother too was only interested in the present, then it was up to her to look to their future. Constance stood up, after her | one brief moment of shock. | “You're holding dinner for me, Meg, come on... dear.” Peter Taylor wondered if Con- stance Cabrillo had undergone a sea change in Meg’s room, or if she had changed places: with some older sister. The young business woman who | came into the dining room séemed years older than the ruffle-haired youngster who had gone in: And' the change was‘deeper than a;change of clothing. He questioned Meg with:his eyes, and Meg, Mending behind Const r, signaled back, gyration of eyebro which sought to- express com- miseration. mpathy and an ap- peal to Peter to be kind to the} girl. Peter tried without much suc- ess, “What would you like to do this afternoon, Miss Cabrillo?” Constance seemed to bring her- self back to the present. “You haven't said ue long you intended remaining. I'd like to plan a few trips for you, some en-| tertainment, and . - Well, show you around the ranch.” “Thank you,” (esi Pe swered thoughtfully. to see the ranch, but not today.

Now 1 may stay several | days.” | Taylor asked no further ques- tions of Constance, but when she} had hurried down the hill, he| called Meg to him. “What happened?” he. demand- ed, bluntly. “Come on, come on, something happened to Miss Ca- brillo after she went into the room with you, Meg,” He eyed her suspiciously, “You know something; out with it! Meg shifted from foot to foot, her face red, her apron fluttering with the agitation of her hands. “And if I do, you spoiled son of a black Irishman, should I be tell- in’ you and breakin’ my promise to her?” Taylor shook his head. “She had Maria eating out of her ha before she was well in the ho! and now you. And both of yeu woman-hate “Faith, it’s a woman-hater y’are yoursilf. Watch she doesn’t have yc ibblin’ from her fingers.” You needn’t worry about me.| She's a Cabrillo.” “And is she now?” Meg’s hands came to her hips, “If she is, she’s the odd one, if what you' been tellin’ me is the truth about them.

He is at the courthouse opposite, on the third floor from the front door of .the building, which is with cigar and cigaret counters occu- pied.” Constance gasped and thanked him. “And no word to anyone of e I'm going, Juliano.” She drove down El] Camino Real, loving each evenly spaced tree, each foot of brown earth; the. vista of blue sea at the end of the avenue. These things were enduring. Human. affections were not. She had thought that in a crisis her family would stand by; give her some credit for business acumen. Instead, anticipating her move, brother had forewarned couldn’t call the Taylors i othered her for many had not fol- ne eelewranal They had not ried to freeze her out; instead, they had given her a warm wel- con Deragal she thought, they sought to disarm her in this way. “Dolores, tell: me something of the Taylors. How did they happen to come here to the ranch? Where did they get the money they evi- dently have?” “From Texas came the Sefior Taylor and the. beautiful sefiora, vho was frail. With the heart she suff The doctairs, they say for her sea air and the low alti- | tude. For a little while they visit | the resorts, but Sefor Taylor he annot what you call twiddle the thumb?” Cc ance smiled. No, Mr. Tay- lor was hardly one to sit twid- dling t! s “So continued Dolores, “he meet with your father at Santa Barbara at the fiesta, and {your father he tell him he has one rancho which needs the good cattle man. Senor Taylor he come to the ranch and he roar, he say: iat tell, I build heem up for you and you take heem over or you get heem new managair.’ So your father he say ‘No, I give to you management so long as thees rancho, she is in my hands.” Judge Franck Dolores exhaled with “they come and soon edro he come from the ire in Texas, and very happy they are with moch work and moch climate. “Always they speak of when they go back to thees Texas, then the sefiora’s heart, she quit, sud- den, two years ago. Now, say the senors Taylor, to Texas we go. Only now they have like El Ca- brillo better than Texas, so then they sell the rancho what they have in that panhandle . . . Sefi- orita Conchita, how does one have the rancho in the panhandle?” Constance “The panhandle is a section of Texas, so called because of the shape of the state on the map.” She was thinking, this accounts for their money. They’ve had an income from their home ranch. They could have bought and sold the Cabrillos anytime Only why did they have to have El prillo? There must be other ches in the same vicinity. Why try to rob the Cabrillos? Gradually she worked up_an anger at Pedro’s attitude. The tone he’d used when he suggested she could not find money for her very own ranch.

I you think the greatest minor league plaver in baseball is a big strong guy, a lippy, wisecracking ! toughie, you’re wrong. He’s little. e's a church-goer anda YMCA boy. He has a mouse-like modes! He doesn’t drink or smoke he hasn't danced in years. But Phil Rizzuto is no goddie- goodie. He’s a regular guy who was brought up to think that a and fellow can have a lot of fun in his, own home without galavanting around half the night. You're going to hear a lot about Phil when spring training starts down South. For the Yankees are bringing him up to replace the aging Frankie Crosetti at short- stop. Phil has played short for two years on the Yankees’ farm club at Kansas City. In a Sport- ing News poll he was voted the No. 1 minor leaguer of 1940. He'll surprise you, he’s so small. You just can’t believe that such a little fellow can be a star. Phil is just 5 feet 6 and has to cajole the scales to get the needle up to 160 pounds. But he was the American association’s third best hitter with a .347 average (after leading the league for eleven straight weeks) and the top base stealer with 35 thefts. Set Double Play Mark And with Gerald Priddy— who’s also coming up to the Yan- kees and may force Joe Gordon to leave second base and go to third—Phil set a new A.A. dou- ble-play record of 193. Strum, who'll challenge Babe Dahlgren, was the frist sacker in these twin murders. Phil has a triangular torso, with big shoulders—out of size for his stature—tapering off to a small ist. In a darkish sort of way, Rizzuto is handsome, with close- cropped, brown wavy hair an bis brown eyes. But his. looks and success haven’t made him forget how to blush. A photographer asked him to pose with “his girl” and Phil red- dened: “Why”, he stuttered, as though surprised that anyone should think of such a thing, “I haven’t a steady girl. That is, well, uh, not here. There’s a girl I like in Kansas City”. The photographer suggested he get some girl in the neighborhood to pose with him. A Little Wide-Eyed “But”, said Phil, “I don’t know any. Except some little girls” Just imagine that. A_ go looking boy of 22, baseball auto- eraphing star, perhaps a World Series ace before long, and he doesn’t have a steadv girl or even know a girl in his own block well enough to ask her to pose with him for a picture. Sounds almost ton naive to be true. But that's Phil, who's a little wide-eyed at all the fuss people are making over him. hind He likes to bow! and ice and go to the movies. “Theatr he though he had been 2 fashion reviews lectures. “No, I » The Riv Phil's but his They ql at home kiyn deok skate or zutos are cestry Ttaly here. spe His guard even Broc turn pro soon.

There should be no excuse for what happened—players and managers were well aware of the dates and- pairings for the series. Out of a dozen or more players, only five members of the Saw- yer’s Barbers turned out in uni- form for their scheduled game with the NavStas. Manager Theodore Albury expressed his regrets for being unable to put a full team on the field, but it was brought out later that sev- | eral of the players knew definite- ly yesterday morning they would be unable to perform that night. Consensus of opinion was to the effect that Pedro Aguilar, in charge of arrangements for the series, should have been advised immediately. The seeond contest could have been brought forward and the opening program carried out as planned, The absent Barber players should have taken into consid- eration the time and effort ex- pended to arrange the series. A local sports enthusiast dug his pockets to put up the $25.00 deposit for installation of the elec- tric meter at the park, tickets were printed and sold. and ad- vertisements announced the open- ing last night. The players. are not the only ones giving of their services. END OF TRAIL Remember the days when there were two brown terrors in pro- fessional boxing? Well, there's only one left today. The first was Joe Louis, heavyweight king, and the second was Henry Arm- strong— welterweight, light- weight, and featherweizht cham- pion, at one time. The latter hung up the gloves after his re- cent return bout with Fritzie Zivic, welterweight king. Our story starts back in 1936, when Henry came out of Los Angeles and started his career, which eventually gave him three world’s championships and nation-wide fame. He career is somewhat ar the case of the New York Yankees. It was in 1936 that the Yankees won the first pen- ant of their ur-in-a-row™.

The five quintets that finished in the first-half have an- nounced they will continue in the league, which will be composed of seven teams.

McGregors, of Springfield, Mo. They just wouldn't dream of not coming in with a box full, or something too big for the box, and the mess they landed Monday would de- light any fisherman’s heart.

Only five members of the Hair- Cutters were on the field at game time.

Mayor Willard Albury made his appearance shortly before game-time to toss the first ball to American Legion Commander Al Mills. Home Guard Band mem- bers were on their way to the field when the lights were turn- ed off, signifying “no contest”. Others who had offered their services and who were ready to perform their duties at game- time were: Umpires Joe Cleare, Arthur Griffin and William Cam- alier, and Gatekeeper Leon An- drea. Sickness prevented the ap- pearance of J. M. Varela, who had offered to serve as ticket-taker. Second game of the series will be played tomorrow night be- tween Pepper's Plumbers and NavStas.
