ALONG CAME CINDERELLA CE By VVIEN GREY YESTERDAY: Since Roger Cosgrave met Lovley Daye it has been evident to him that he must marry her, although she is a girl from the tenements and he wealthy, Emily Perry, Roger’s fiancee, has known the truth too ut until now she has not spoken. She just has told her and Roger's parents that there will be no wedding, and is trying to explain to the incredulous group.

And we might as he thing out anc over here’s no use going on his farce, You do love that You know you do.” She was directly to him. r had no reply for her so t on: ‘Let's tabl We ¢ean’t go on with this wedc ling I don’t want to marry a man ’s in love with another girl A id you wouldn't go through with the thing even if I wanted to.

He can’t change suddenly now.” Mrs. Perry looked across at agree couldn't with her. But Roger| lie with Emily’s clear »s on him in that penetrating | y.

We couldn’t just tell every one that Roger had changed his} mind and found he was fond of someone else. Things aren't done that way. No one would believe | it. They'd all think the most un-| pleasant things.” Her voice| trailed off into delicate silence as it so often did when Marcia felt} everything had ,been that need be, and things would happen | exactly as she wished “Does it make any difference what 5 think when lives are at stak Roger asked suddenly Marcia looked surprised Mr. Perry had gone terribly pale, and looked as if he was go be ill " Gentle rebuke in Ma s wed must go on,” Mr Perry said forcefully. “1 won't be disgraced!

You couldn’t put artificial social standards, and things like that, against it.” “But Emily you can’t let us down this way. You're engaged to Roger. You’re going to marry him.” There was a note of dis- ction in Mrs. Perry’s voice that | brought Roger’s eyes to her face in puzzled wonder. “I was going to marry him, you |mean,” Emily said quietly and jslov “An engagement is such a frail thing. I never knew_how |frail till I saw Lovely Daye. |There are other things much stronger.” |_ “But sels d never—” Mrs. 38 stopped speakin, and looked helplessly at Marcia. And. Roger felt that he read in her face more tragedy than should have | been there, “But a girl like that who’d come up to the country with a man,” |Mrs. Perry paused and then fin- ished helplessly: “Men don’t mar- ry girls like that.” “Girls like that,” Emily re- peated the phrase thoughtfully. “Girls like that. Some things just don’t seem to count. Oh, yes, I could say things about her being | up there in the cottage—just com- ing up with Roger as she has; hard bitter things. But what good {would it do me?” No one an- lswered so Emily repeated the question. “What good would it do me?” Still no one had an-answer for her, so she said in a low tone. “And it wouldn't hurt her.” Old Peter continued to bring in the delicacies with which Amalia ighted her table for such occa- sions but no one ate very much. Roger asked Peter for a second brandy after the coffee had been served. Emily looked at him, her eyes soft and gentle again. She | seemed to be saying inaudibly: “Don’t mind so much. No one “Well,” Amalia said as they left the table, “I didn’t think I was | asking you here for this. I thought t was going to be a happy occa- sl t isn’t your fault, Aunt Amalia,” said Emily who seemed the most self-possessed of the ns party. “It was a grand din- » Amalia’s bright eyes turned for an instant to Roger and then back to Emily. “And I want you to know, Emily,” she went on, “that this makes no difference in your being heir to half of all I possess. You may have to wait quite a while for it. We Cosgraves have a way i living on. We can’t let go of ings when we should.” Her ee were on Roger. | Emilv slipped an arm around |the elderly little woman and d her cheek. Darling,” she said sweetly, “Td rather have you here than all of the money in the world.” malia was slightly embar- rassed by the caress, so she was a | little more brisk than usual when she turned to Roger and said: “And I hove Roger knows no | Jone ever mode a silk purse out of | ie sow’s ear.” Razer was glad when Emily {made the move to go and broke up- the narty. It was like her to do the thouchtful thing. In the hall he heard Mr. Perry’s fretful voies saving again: | “We should have told. There's been He voint in all this covering un” And Roger was aware that Mrs. Perry shushed hin effective- ly as she hurried him out. Joe Again | said nothing of silent sympathy emanating from his father. At the steps | Roger hesitated. Instead of going Roger felt a sort ~|on to the garage with the car, he swung around the circular drive and out into the road headed to- ward Croton. There was balm in the night air for-his troubled soul. He stopped at Tumble Inn for cigarets. Mari and Joe Hulse were sitting at the bar. Mari left her stool, walked over to Roger and a linked her arm through his. “Look, my pet.” she said. “See what I've got!” Motioning to Joe. “See what I found in the bull- | rust nes! He's grand!

McKenna, who had a slight pull in the weights at 128 to Page’s 126, looked as if he was going to wind up things in a hurry in the {first round. He drilled Page |cleanly to the jaw with a right fearly in the round, then tagged him again near the end to leave {the New Yorker groggy at the | bell. Once more, in the second, Mc- Kenna’s long right cracked on |Page’s jaw to send him sprawling jinto the ropes. It was the last jsolid punch in the Baltimore !boy’s system. | From there on, it was all Page, dancing, bobbing and __ tossing punches with both hands. He |was fighting in spurts, but in the |fourth, the sixth and seventh jhe gave McKenna a vicious beat- ling about the body. McKenna slipped to the canvas jin the eighth, but he was up without a count and Page’s ‘gloves were too heavy for him ;to swing much after that. He }was still pummeling McKenna ‘at the final bell but all the snap ;was gone from his punch. Kid Brass won an easy verdict }over Gabriel Lastres in the main preliminary, a three-round match, but the triumph of Johnny Yates over Aurelia Lastres in the ‘preceding bout was the best bat- itle of the night. | Yates, a stocky, piano-legged little Key Wester, showed sur- prising form and both of them were tossing punches from bell ito bell. Both weighed in at 135. Veral Roberts and Wallace |Vincent, another pair of Key {West amateur lightweights, fought to a draw in the opener. ‘STUDENTS, MARINES VICTORS LAST NIGHT PICKED PLAYERS AND AIR- MEN DEFEATED IN EXHIBI- TION DOUBLEHEADER | High School varsity and US Marines emerged as vict in the twin bill basketball exhibition at High School Gym last night The varsity cagers registered their second straight triumph over the mixed players in the opening game, 53- udents gained an early lead were never heade Frank “Ik way with 16 poi Hary Colgate second high st ol seorer.

GOMEZ $1 Nats Don’t Look Too Bad--- If You Forget About Pitching By DILLON GRAHAM, Sports Editor, AP Feature Service ORLANDO, Fla., March 20.— Cubans who thought they were ball players brought Bucky Har- ris nightmares last spring. Now Bucky almost wishes he had a gang of Cubans around to take'his mind off his other trou- bles, For his alleged pitching staff is made up of a lot of guys named Joe. Bucky has three depend- able hurlers—Sid Hudson, Emil Leonard and Ken Chase—and another, Walter Masterson, whom he thinks may be a winner. Dan- ny MacFayden, the veteran who played with Pittsburg last year, may come in handy for relief work. But beyond that the Washing- ton pitchers just ain’t what it takes.

Lewis At Third Outside of pitching the team isn’t so bad. John Lewis, who get played outfield most of last sea-! son, has been brought back into the inner circle at third base and Cecil Travis has moved to short. Two-thirds of the outfield is new. The Senators e sneaked out of the second division only once since Harris took over in 1935. They finished seventh last year and that looks like a good spot for them again.
