ALONG CAME CINDERELLA Clyde Hayes Tries For ES By VIVE GREY YESTERDAY: Emily Perry at last has been told by her fiance, Roger Cosgrave, that there is an- other girl. Her name ts Lovely Daye, and her social status is far below the Cosgrave-Perry level. Yet Roger cannot marry two girls, and he does not see how it can be Emily. Now he has driven furiously to the cottage where Lovely is staying because two of his friends may, he thinks, be annoying her. Chapter 11 Worse Tangle OGER felt himself sudden! going mad. Hugh Chase, an other of his ushers, still up ther with Lovely, He more to John. He rushed to thi gerzee and jumped into his car. lue Blaze, the Kerry that had been at his heels was in beside} him, his nose up to the wind as the car raced madly up steep Mount Airy Road. It wasn’t until after he had started that Roger was vaguely aware of his mother’s voice call- ing him as he rushed to the ga- Tage. At Granny Hale’s cottage he found Lovely sitting on the steps, | 5 facing the river, Hugh beside her Hugh’s smile was not a par- ticularly nice thing to look at as Roger joined them. It was se- cretive, unpleasant. “Well, beautiful lady, this looks like my exit,” he said to Lovely. rising and contriving somehow to be leeringly possessive and offen- sive. “Roger!” Undisguised gladness in her voice. “But why must you e just because Roger’s here? et’s have a breakfast party!” “No, Pll be on my way.” Blaze had crowded in close to said nothing} He watched her move graceful- ly about the preparation of food. He saw her bend a can she had just opened until the opening was tight shut. He thought he knew why she did it but he asked: ‘Why, Gorgeous?” picking up can with its closed edges. Lovely laughed. “Gert taught me that,” she said. “oO day in the city we saw a at had been food hunting in ge can get its head stuck mon tin.

I'd nearly brained him before they made me under- stand they were friends of yours.” “So that was their story?” Roger asked, still too shaken to trust his voice much. Lovely caught something in the tone. She looked at him oddly. “They are friends of yours, aren't they?” “Yes, | suppose you'd call them that. But don’t fee] you have to be nice to anyone, Lovely, just because they say they’re fricnds of mine.” “Oh, that’s all right! They're nice kids. I like them.” There was a little silence. Roger | dared not trust himself to speak. Too many emotions were rioting him. “Was the party nice? Fun?” Lovely asked at length. He caught | @ wistful note in her voice. “They told you it was a party?” “Yes,” slowly, “for you.” Add ing after a space: “And Emily.” Roger found no reply for that. Blaze laid his blue-gray head on his knee and looked up with soft, sympathetic eyes. The silence was growing taut when Lovely said: “Roger, what's she like? Is she pretty? Tell me about her?” “Pretty?” His mind had been dwelling on the time John and Hugh had been there with Love- ly. Just what had_ transpired? Lovely was so beautiful. He knew suddenly he was insanely jealous of any man who had time alone with her. “Yes,” Lovely was insistent. “1 suppose she’s beautiful. Rich girls always are.” “She's not beautiful as you are, Lovely,” he said honestly. “She's pretty. Sweet.” “You don’t want to talk about her, do you?” Lovely asked. “Is it} because it's me? Because I'm ask- ing you, and you don’t want to talk to mesabout her?” Her vo! was wistful. Roger smiled. He threw off the spell that held ‘him. “No, sweet, it isn’t that, It’s be- cause I want so desperately to do the decent thing by both of you and I'm beginning to see that I can't.” “T know,” very quietly from Lovely. “I've been thinking of that all night.” She words were almost too difficult to push over some barrier of emo- tion within her. “Roger, I'm the one who doesn't belong in the pic- ture. I know that. 1 could see it when those boys came in You're different. I don't belo: She paused a moment. Renunciation “DP OGER, [' do any say. Pll go back if you want. T've been happy here.

Emily had something. “Thank you, Emily,” he said quietly. “You'll be down?” she asked uncertainly, her hand on the shift. “Right away.” | She glanced toward the house fleetingly then and for the first \time. Roger wondered if Lovely’s conspicuous beauty was evident anywhere. Promise To Lovely \ want?” Lovely asked -hur- riedly as soon’ as er returned to the screened porch. “Have you been here all the | time?” he asked. “No, I just came out as she was turning.” Roger knew a strange and unaccountable feeling of gladness. Emily hadn’t seen her then. She hadn’t been hurt by the blinding beauty of the girl “T’ve got to f° home, Lovely,” he said seriously. “To her, you mean?” Emotion playing over the words like swift movement over shadowy water. oe even your dog goes with er!” Roger was aware then that Blaze had stayed in the car and gone down with Emily.

Lanev gvenly divided 2nd Fistic Victory Here Tonight; Jackie Page Hancock Battle In Semi- Final; Ap- pear In Preliminaries Amateurs Clyde Hayes, whose right hand shots provided most of the action on last week’s fight } card, will try to make it two in a row tonight when he battles Jack Patton of Philadelphia in the featured bout at Cecil Car- bonell’s Simonton «and Front street arena. Little is known here about Pat- ton, but if he provides the same sationary target that Billy Breed- love obligingly set up for Hayes last week, he probably will go the same way. Hayes in that fight was tossing them from so far back Breedlove had forgotten about the punch by the time it arrived. Jackie Page, ex-Golden Glover from New York who is remaining in Key West to coach Carbonell’s amateurs, meets Manuel Hancock in the eight-round semi-final. Page, a fast-moving youngster with a snappy left hook, wore out his hands on Chester Roberts of Key West last week to win a lopsided decision. Hancock has had no opportun- ity to show his wares in his na- tive Key West recently, but ac- cording to Carbonell he has de- veloped into a hard-hitting scrap- per. A preliminary card made up of amateur battlers who have been working out this week at the old Centro Asturiano club will round out the card. The amateurs will appear in three two-minute rounds, while the main go, for the first time this year, will be three-minute rounds. Interest among local amateur boxers has risen sharply in the past few days, according to Car- bonell, and the gymnasium has been packed every afternoon with youngsters anxious to get a shot at the Golden Gloves tourna- ment. Tonight’s fights will get un- ‘der way at 8:30 o’clock, PINDER AND LANEY HIGHEST SCORERS OF CHAMP RIVALS | Joe Pinder of Lions Club and Laney of the Marines, scoring aces of the rival teams for cham- pionship of Island City Basket- ball League second-half, will de- cide supremacy when they face each other in the deciding game Monday night. Laney. highest scorer of the league at end of the eighth round, is leading Pinder by six points. He has taken part in only six con- tests to nine for the sharpshoot- ing Lion. Shore patrol and a for- feit account for the naval ensign’s deficiency of games. In the half- dozen battles. the Marine running- guard wrinkled the net for 57 field goals, nine above Pinder's total.

For many yeers, Brooks played with the Brooklyn Royal Giants, establishing an enviable record as an all-around player. His greatest joy, though, is the part he played in the develop- ment of Lou Gehrig at Columbia University. He recalls that Geh- rig at that time was a pitcher but switched to first base when his slugging ability was recognized. 1941 -DIAMOND DUELS (Associated Press Feature Service) Eddie Joost is a frail looking chap who can go great guns afield for a short spell but isn’t figured icapable of full-season duty. When the Reds traded Billy Myers to the Cubs, the shortstop job ap- parently fell to Joost. But Eddie —who isn’t much of a hitter at best—will get tough competition from Woody Williams of Louis- ville, Bobby Mattick of the Cubs and Gar Del Savio of Birming- ham . Williams, with seven years of swift minor league competition, was the runs-batted-in leader in the little World Series. SPORTS CALENDAR BOXING (Key West Arena, 8:30 p. m.)
