TENNIS MATCH INTERRUPTED — New York. March 23 —U.R) An attractive young woman, an ardent ; admirer of Debonnaire Jean Boro-1 tra. French tennis ace. was held i fjr observation at Bellevue Hospital today because -he battled at the International tennis match last night, to present Jean with a daz-ger-shaped paper knife. The of the gleaming knife' and the screams of the girl, as site fought with her detainers, so un- 1 nerved Borotra and his doubles team-mate, Antoine Genlien, that, they lost their match to George M. Lint of Chicago and John Van Ryn of philadeb dia 15-31. 6-4. 46. 6-4. iving the I’nited States a 2 to 1. advantage in the matches Leaping to her feet in the lowgallery at the Seventh Regiment armory, the dark-haired- girl in a j b.ige fur coat, pulled the knife from her handbag. She waved it at Borobra. who. at the moment, was conc titrating every es oil. on the court below, in one of the longest sets in the history of board-surface ten-! nie, with the score 13-all. Fearing that she would to.-s the knife down at the Frenchman, nearby spectators attempted to stop her. struggle ensued. Meanwhile I Abe 'tennis ■_ Myers halted their - game. Borotra and Gentien stood dum-' founded, gazing in astonishment at the scone in the gallery. Attedants ■ hurried to the aid of the spectators. , Finally patrolman William Ward arrived, and the girl was half-tar- | ried. half dragged down the stairs | and out of the building. At the police station, the girl ' explained she had meant no harm.. but merely wanted to give the knife to Borotra as a token of her adniir- , ation.

HAFEY WANTS SALARY BOOST Berkeley. Calif., Mai. 23 (U.R> Chick Hafev. bespectacled batting champion of the National league in 1931. today voiced a resolve to "stay home all summer" unle- s the St. Louis Cardinals accede to his demands for bigger pay. The champion Hitler, who rapidly is becoming champion holdout as well, glanced appraisingly at the contracts awarded Hack Wilson. Bill Terry. Babe Herman and others, and then told his side of the story. "When I have a bad year I expect to take a cut." he said, "but the batting averages of these fellows dropped 4U or 50 points last year while I raised mine 13 or 14 points, and still they are getting more money than the Cards offered me. "Gosh, it seems 1 should get a raise after having one of my best seasons." Hafey began his negotiations with tlie Red Bird Moguls by asking for a two-year contract at $17,000 a year. He sent back the contract they offered him. calling for $12,500, the same money he drew last year. They countered with a SSOO raise, whereupon Hafey cut his contract bid to one year. "That was three weeks ago and I haven't heard anything since. I ll stav here until they meet my terms or sell me down the river." Hafey is confident that one or the other will happen pretty soon. In preparation for ar active season —with what club lie hasn't ilie faintest idea—lie is working out daily with local semi-pros. Although he wears glasses, he still has the unerring vision that helped him but 3-IS9 last year to show the way to all National leaguers. Hafey regards the New York Giants as the strongest opposition to the world champion Cardina's. Competition in the league will lie keener for every club, and the' Red Birds will not have those setups with Cincinnati to help the percentage, he said. Last year the Cards beat Cincinnati 22 out of 23 games. ■'Sending Burleigh Grimes to Chicago will hurt the Cards' chances." Hafey said “The Cards: are counting on three rookie hurlers to win Grimes' games, but tljat may be hard to do." —o Robber Locked Up With Gun HOUSTON. Miss.—(U.R)— When' W.

Carlisle met the young woman on one of the occasions when he came to the big city from Harvard University, where he was a student. He immediately fell in love with her and asked her to marry him, but, doubting his sincerity, she refused. However, when he threatened never to see her again she capitulated and they were secretly married last Christmas morning. When the mar riage was recently revealed, it was said that Carlisle's family offered the girl a large sum of money to consent to a divorce, but she spurned the suggestion. The newlyweds are living in a humble apartment, waiting until Allan tomes into an inheritance in June Meanwhile. *he other girls at the dance hall where Romaine met her Prince Charming are going about their work with a new zest, each one confident that she is the next Cinderella on whom romance will throw the spotlight.

NEW YORK — The recent dis-1 closure of the marriage of Allan Carlisle scion of a socially prominent and wealthy family of New York, to Romaine Fleming. pr<s fessional hostess in a metropolitan "taxi dance" hall, is a sharp slap in the face to the cynics who tel! us that romance is as dead us; Julius Caesar. It proves that there are still; Prince Charmings roaming the; world, even if they do not ride m prancing chargers, always on tlie look-out for the right Cinderella.; It also proves that the so-called; social barriers simply do not exist when Cupid sets out to go places.! When Romaine Fleming first! stormed the big city from her little; remote town in Pennsylvania, with' the glorious vision of a successful; stage career mentally marked i down as the end ot her rainbow.' she little thought that the "destiny which ules our ends" had already! decided Iler ultimate fate. She, went through tlie same process of disillusionment as had many, many girls before her. finally drifting into tlie dance 1i..1l where, for al set fee. she was obliged to to* a darn ing partner to any of the traditional Toms. Dicks and Harrys who were out for an unattach "1 evenings entertainment. Then Fate shifted the scene i f operations to Harvard I’niverkity.. where young Carlisl. was a student. It was w ritten in the scheme of things that on one of his fre-j nuent trips to New York he should drop into the dance hall where Romaine was employed. I.ike Julius Caesar, who is a lot deader' than romance, lie came, he saw. hut. unlike Julius, he was eonouered. Romaine's blond beamy captivated the scion of the bl iebloode.i Carlisles from the first. After one dance with her his fate was sealed and he knew it. Every 010111001 Allan could spare away from his studies n* Harvard was thereafter spent wi'h Romaine He ininlored her to marry him. but she. wise in the ways of Gotham the Goat-Getter.

Meanwhile, at the dance-hulH where Carlisle met his fate the t o-1 I manee has infused an atmosph ’re of new life and expectation.

Contrary to popular bell-f. 1 these girls have not the armorplated hearts that their pose of i cynicism and worldly wisdom leads I one to suppose. In most cases the I ‘tough" air is merely put on for business reasons. It is their sole protection against the male "lady- . killer." or sheik, who would take advantage of their position to make unwanted advances. In reality they are just as sentimental as tile little country girl - who waits out among the tall timber for the man of her drcams to I come riding by. Every onto in a while they begin to feel the panes 1! of despair, but it is then that > something like the Carlfsle-Flem- ■ ing idyll happens to renew their ' lielief in romance.
