That's something hard ta define, but it is just as necessary for a girl's success as beauty,” We asked him if he had selected any one for the part, remarking on the difficulty of the task with so many beautiful applicants to choose from, “That's a secret,” Wally replied with another smile. This one was a rather slower smile, and there was an amused twinkle in eyes as he spoke. “Yes, it's a mystery—a great mys- tery,” Mr. Jessen joined in, He had now hung up the phone and was en- joying a brief respite from his tele- phonic tete-a-tetes, but even as he spo e bell rang again, “Hasn't he told you about his con- tract yet?" asked Mr. Jessen before he went to the phone again—“the contract he's just signed with the Famous Players?"

Controversy in National Still Flames Cincy and Pirates Will Hold Rag Chewing Match Over Game BY H. ©. HAMILTON United Press Staff Correspondent. NEW YORK, July 19—Con- troversy regarding the action of the National League board of directors in expunging from the ‘records a game between Cincinnati and Pitts- burg has sprung up with all the old flame that used to burn tn National league raw rag chewing matches. Garry Herrmann, who won the curtailed contest, doesn't mind so much that the game was called a vio- lation of the National league rules, but he does think the Reds should have a chance to start the thing where they left off when they quit to catch a train. He points to an ancient pastime between the Giants \d Phillies which was forfeited by zealous umpire and later allowed to be played out. President Heydler probably will have nothing to do with such a claim. He relieved himself of a statement today that doubtless is his last word; He points out that the game in question clearly was vio- lative of league rules by the club and not & questionable decision by an umpire, The race is #0 close and the strength of the Giants so uncertain that John McGraw, vice president and manager of the club, took upon his own shoulders the protest, which ended with ordering the game declar- ed_no contest. The contest for a National Jeague pennant is still so hot that a very bitter argument may easily result from statements which so far have been fired back and forth by Herr- mann and Heyd) ‘ FORMER JUNIOR CHAMP IN BATTLE FOR TITLE UTICA, N.
