Yesterday: Kathleen Vaughan rented her barn'to a summer theater outfit, and then decided that she would like to try for a part herself. So she postponed her marriage to Joe Neely—and Joe picketed her house in return.

It was an uphill fight from the fourth frame to the finish for the Sparklers for the soldiers produc- ed power at the plate and skill afield to smother the Navy’s hopes time and again. Se The Sound School made its ini- | tial score in the first and another} in the second but the Army knot- ted the count with two in the sec- ond. Three more in the fourth gave the Artillery a 5-2 edge and this was not overcome by the Spark- Jers until the seventh. After a scoreless eighth the clash was| called because of darkness. Constantine, Navy second base- man, was the heavy hitter for the night by garnering a single, dou- ble and triple in five trips to the plate. For the Army, Andy An- derson, hurler, got two singles in ‘three chances. The soldier’s big frame was the, fourth. The first two batsmen went down by grounding out. Hank Fueco, right fielder, singled; July Belli, second baseman, pick- ed a free pass and Hank Sprawka, | husky catcher, lammed out a home run to clean the sacks. ‘The sailors found the range in the seventh when Fulsom, first baseman, walked and advanced on a fly-out. Constantine .pounded out his triple, scored on a field- er’s choice and Johnson, catcher, also tripled. He scored on an in- field misplay to end the nights plate-crossing. The pitching was just greet the best known here this still-young season. Anderson whiffed seven and gave eight scattered hits. | Whitey Cargill worked four frames for the Sound School to fan three | and give up four bingles. Chipper Peters was rushed in at the fifth and threw a no-hitter the rest of | the way, striking out six. Tonight the Marines and the 263rd Coast Artillery of Fort Tay- lor will éndeaver to énter the Win column when they meet a 5:30. The soldiers lost their debut to the 50th by a 24-10 score and the Marines dropped a 7-4 di jon to the Coast Guard in their initial start. Tomorrow the Coast Guard will face the Naval Operating Base. The latter fought a 10-10 tie with | the Sound School in the circuit's inaugural for its lone appearance. Sunday is.an open date.

Joe reached down for the sign. It wasn’t there. “AW right,” he said sternly, “where it is?” “Where’s what?” said Kathleen. “My sign. The placard I was picketing with.” “Isn't it there?” “You know darn well it’s not there.” “T didn’t take it.” “No? Then who did?” “Lizzie.” “Lizzie,” Joe exclaimed. “Oh, I get it! Thai’s what you ‘wanted to speak to her about, when she called you to the telephone.” “Goodness me, Joe—how clever of you!” “What did she do with it?” “Burned it.” “Well, Pll be—” “After all. Joe,” said Kathleen with exasperating calm, “they say everything's fair in love and war.” “That,” said Joe. “is the second bromide you’ve pulled inside two minutes, ‘Stage-struck girls who want to be actresses ought to be original at least.” “Thanks. I'll remember that.” “And here’s something else you can remember,” said Joe. giving Kathleen an angry look. “There are other ways of making you sorry—other ways than picketing you.” “Really?” “You're darned tootin’ there are,” said Joe. He was thoughtful for a second. “And, by gosh, just thought of one!” down the steps. Fred Calls IKE IT?” Kathleen asked. “It’s a knockout, honey! Darned if you don’t look like you’d stepped straight from the pages of ‘Gone with the Wind.’” athleen eyed her uncle with interest. “You look pretty swell yourself.

She’s slim, and blonde—” “And,” Uncle Frank cut in, “probably crazy about her mir- ror; just like that other one.” He turned to eye his reflection in the long mirror of the old-fashioned wardrobe. “Not bad,” he said, “not half bad. A little number I jicked up. on Fifth Avenue the fast time I went up to New York to see what was happening to my investments.” “Speaking of mirrors .. . Kathleen. Uncle Frank chuckled “Well, can’t a man look at himself once in a blue moon?” he said. “You're an old darling!” Kath- “TI love you in spite of everything, and much as I hate to help inflate your ego, you are a good-looking man.” “Miss Kathleen!” Lizzie called from downstairs. “Miss Kathleen, he's here!” Kathleen said, “Darn! Will Liz- zie never learn how to announce anyone?” She hurried out into the hall. At the top of the stairs she lifted ” said | the full, beruffled skirt, held it so that the tips of her blue slippers could be seen. and then descend- ed, slowly, demurely. Fred DeMille in the hall below looked up. He caught his breath. “Wonderful!” he said. “What is?” Kathleen asked. “The picture you make,” said Fred. “My dear: child, you're the image of one of the girls in ‘Good- bye, Honey Chile!’ ” “What's that?” lever. Nor did she see him when SY URE sweet, Fred, to say | that,” said Kathleen. “Only | don’t be so—so—sudden-like.” “Work up to it gradually—eh, | what?” “Yes.” Kathleen handed Fred the short black velvet jacket she | had been carrying over one arm, “Shall we be on our way now?” | They went out of the front door, and stood for a moment | upon the porch admiring the wa, the moon was peeping through | the trees and turning the world | into a place of silvery radiance. | “She’s a sweet kid,” Fred thought, turning from looking at the moon to look at Kathleen. “If I were only twenty years younger .. - he said to himself, and sighed. “What's the matter?” . “Just thinking,” he said. “What about?” “Us—you and me.” Another | sigh. “If I. were only twenty-five instead of forty-five, I might —oh, the devil! Come on, child. Let’s go dance.” Kathleen stole a glance now and then at the man beside her, admiring the lines in his face, which she told: herself were in- dications that Fred DeMille had lived and suffered. The touches | of gray at his temples intrigued | her. Dear, kind Fred DeMille. But now she began to have a | sinking sensation in the pit of her stomach. She even looked | around to see if Joe had pre- | pared another placard and was | picketing the ‘club. There was no sign of him how- she and Fred entered the lounge. Kathleen Gets A Jolt AUL PENNELL saw them and came forward. “Hello there!” he greeted.

Fred drew Kathleen’s, hand under his arm, “* hey te playing = welts hi he. said. “That's where Ruby Howard, resplendent in black chiffon, ermine jacket, and stage jewelry, saw Paul and joined him. “Going for sweet in- nocence, I see,” she remarked. Paul frowned. “Why not?” he retorted. “Sweet innocence is in- deed a rare commodity nowa- days.” ‘Meaning a slur, *I suppose,” said Ruby. “Take it or leave it,” said Paul. Then: “Look who’s making an entrance!” he exclaimed, nodding toward a_ cuddly little girl who was clinging to the arm of a tall, good-looking young man. “None | other than our little ingenue, | Daisy Doran!” “And where did she find that handsome dog! brute!” “You know Daisy,” said Paul. “The perennial ingenue with predatory leanings.” He turned | and gave Ruby a searching look. | “Don’t interfere, my dear.” “Shut up—and introduce me. | That tS if you know the young man.” “Of course, I know him. He's Joe Neely, on the local news- paper. He’s going to review our plays.” “Oh. he is, is he?” said Ruby. She smiled, reminding Paul of the cat and canary episode. “Come on—let's go join them.” “Nothing doing.” “Very well, I'll go alone,” Ruby. ‘She left Paul and swept across the room. It was when she was smiling up into Joe’s face, while Daisy Doran still clung to his arm, that Kathleen saw them. “Oh!” she said under her breath. said said “A play we're going to try out this summer.” “Oh!” Kathleen’s eyes were wide and shining. “Tt’s a Civil War thing.” “And I resemble one of the | characters in it?’ said Kathleen, NOW IT’S A GAL WHO CALLS ALL COPS (ty Associated Presa) RICHMOND, Ind., April 9- Many girls have longed to bre: into radio, but few have chosen} Margaret.
