SNEOEKER NINE SPLITS EVEN IN OPENING GAMES Local Team Breaks Even In Opening Exhibitions Os Season Snedeker State A. C.’s opened the independent baseball season in Deratin' Sunday, splitting a doublehe.der with Bob Snyder’s Independents of the Fort Wayne federation league. The games were played at the South Ward diamond, recent rains making it impossible to get the new diamond at Niblick field in shape for the opener. Royal Stauffer, former Central of of Fort Wayne star, filled the iron man role Sunday, pitching both ends of the twin bill. The games were well played by both teams, considering the condition of the field. Decatur won the first game 11 to 5 and lost the second, 4 to 2. Stauffer allowed only five hits in the first game and four in the second. The locals banged out nine safeties in the opener and obtained six in the nightcap. Next Sunday's game will be played at Niblick field, starting at 2:30 sharp. A*definite opponent has not been chosen, but three teams are under consideration. New suits urchased for the team failed to arrive but will be available next Sunday. Plenty of seats will be available at the new field. —o LARGE CROWDS ATTEND GAMES New York, May B.—(U.RJ— Attracted by the spirited competition in both major leagues and encouraged by warmer weather, the fans started swarming out in increasing numbers to watch their favorites play ball. More than 201,000 persons at tended yesterday's si x doubleheaders in the National and American leagues, the largest turnout of the season. Yesterday's total was twice that at the five opening ceremonies on April 12. At Cleveland, the New York Yankees and Indians played to 55,000 spectators, the second largest, crowd that ever saw the Yanks, play on the road during the regular season. Cleveland wrested the lead temporarily from New York by winning the opener, 7 to 6. but the Yanks retrieved it by copping the nightcap, 8 to 4. Pitcher Mel Harder drove in the winning run for Cleveland in the seventh inning of the opener after home runs by Bill Knickerbocker and Eddie Morgan featured the Indians' 15 hit attack on four New York hurlers. In the nightcap, the Yanks garnered 13 hits off three Cleveland flingers, including homers by Earl Combs and Tony Lazzeri. Twenty thousand fans saw Boston and Chicago split. The White Sox won the first contest, 4 to 3! although outhit, 11 to 7. The Red Sox took the closing contest. 3 to 2. aided by Henry Johnson's fivehit pitching and Johnny Hoddaps

LHAFI'KK XXXV The nearest telephone was in the drug store just around the corner on River Street. Mary Faith rushed to the evil-smelling little booth and gave Dr. Thatcher’s number. While she was waiting for him to answer she heard Kim's voice, his slow deep voice that was like no other voice in the world. He was talking to some one in the prescription room just behind the telephone booth. And before she had finished talking to Dr. Thatcher. Kim walked past her to the frent of the store. "Good-bye,” she heard him call to some one behind the partition, and a girl’s voice answered: “Good-bye. See you later.”Mary Faith watched him go out. Then she heard the familiar sputter of his roadster. She opened the door of the booth and stepped out. Behind her. in the prescription room, she could hear a girl humming. She hurried into the lamp-starred darkness of River Street and turned toward home. Her thoughts were where her heart was at that moment —in the flat with the baby. At the moment jealousy and heartbreak and suspicion were trivial things in the face of his illness. The very word “convulsion” was so terrifying. She reached the door of the apartment building just as Kim came around the corner from the garage. “Where have you been?” he asked, waiting for her to unlock the door. “Same place you were—at the drug store,” she told him, with a flash of bitterness. She ran up the stairs ahead of him and through the flat to the bathroom, where Mrs. Farrell had the baby in a tub of hot water. She did not think of Kim again until eight o'clock, when the doctor had gone and she was sitting beside the baby’s crib, watching his regular breathing. Then Kim came to the door of the bedroom and beckoned to her. She did not move, merely looked up at him thoughtfully. “Kim,” she said at last, getting up from her chair, “I saw. you in the store tonight, and I heard jiou in the back room, talking to that girl. Kim. how can you be so cheap? Carrying on an affair in the back room of a store ” "Oh. for goodness’ sake I” Kim interrupted, with a groan. They were in the dining room now, and he sat down beside the table, shaking his head. “What are you trying to do, Mary Faith? Make me conI fess that I’m in love with a clerk in a store, just because I happened to drop in for a book or a pack of cigarettes every now and then?” He got up and stood in front of her. “What’s the matter with you?” he asked. Mary Faith shook her head. “Kim. , you were in the back room of that •tore.” “Well, what if I was? I was sit- ! ting back there talking to Jim and that girl clerk. That may be a crime in your eyes, but that’s what I was doing.” Jim, Mary Faith knew, was the proprietor of the store. She had not heard his voice as she stood in the telephone booth, but that did not prove that he had not been there, and she wanted to believe that he had been there. She wanted so desperately to believe that nothing was wrong—that Kim had no interest in that pretty blond girl. “You've been away from home >o

McNutt 'lndianapolis May 8 — (UP) — Greater use of Indiana coal by public institutions was sought today at a conference of coal miners and operators with Gov. Paul V. McNutt. The delegation was headed by Joseph Timko, president of district No. 11. United Mine Workers jof America, and William Zeller i Indianapolis operator. The pointed to the 1931 statute requiring all state institutions to i use Indiana coal and said they in- ! terpreted the law to apply to all coal purchased with public funds, staba or local.

much lately,” she said, looking up at him. ■ • He raised his thick level eyebrows. “I’ve been working hard lately, Mary Faith, and you know it. I haven't bothered you with all the details. I thought, if I told you that 1 had to go out and stay late occasionally, you’d understand. 1 never dreamed that you were torturing yourself like this.” “But I was," she blurted out. “Kim, how could I help it, when I saw you smiling at that girl that night when we were in the drug store? And lately you’ve been going out every night and staying so late —” She was crying now, and her face was drawn and white. "Kim, I shouldn’t go to pieces like this.” She knew that he hated to see her cry. He was looking at her with an expression of actual dislike in his eyes. “But I can’t help crying. If you only knew how sick the baby’s been tonight—and you weren’t here —and, Kim. I’ve been so jealous and u.ihappy the last month or so." “I don't see why you should be : jealous,” he said. “Any woman who loves a man is , jealous when he scents to be inter- : ested in some other woman. Os course, I know you love me and the baby-—-” 1 "Well, then, what are you having : hysterics about?" He spoke briefly > and brutally. Then he went on in that same hard, angry voice. “Now. : let me tell you something, Mary t Faith. If you’d cut out the grief ! and meet me at the door with a t smile now and then, you wouldn’t . have to worry about nte and other s women If I don't follow you around - like a shadow all the time, it's your s own fault I You hadn't figured it out i that way, had you?” He picked up Lis hat and went a ouL The door slammed behind him. »

Have Little Effect Indianapolis, May 8 — (U.P.) — Basketball and other sports will he only slightly affect ad by a ruling of the state board of education making physical education classes optional in 255 Indiana high schools, Arthur L. Trester, commissioner of the Indiana High School Athletic Association, said today. Most physical education teachers in Indiana high schools coach basketball, more or less as a sideline, Trester said. The board of education made its ruling so that the smaller schools would be able to drop basketball or other sports requiring highly paid coaches. o Get the Habit — Trade ■< Home

Mary Faith stood where he had left her, wringing her hands in genuine pain at the unfairness of the things, he had just said to her. She knew that they were unfair and untrue—and yet she felt that somehow or other she had failed him. It was her job to hold him. and she had failed. She knew that what he demanded from life was gayety and good cheer, and that when he didn’t get what he wanted at home, he looked elsewhere. “But how could I laugh when (lie baby was sick?” Mary Faith went on thinking, and the more she thought the more angry she became. "And how could I smile when Kim came home after an evening with that girl—smile and pretend that I didn’t know where he'd been?" But surely there must be men who didn’t look for amusement and lovemaking all of the time. There must be husbands who shared the burden of illness and anxiety with their wives. Men who realized that marriage and children and home-making aren’t all “beer and skittles,” as Mrs. Puckett would probably have expressed it. Kim was like a spoiled boy, Mary Faith decided. There was no use in talking to him; the thing to do was to stand by and wait for him to grow up. He did not come home that night. The next morning she telephoned the office. Mr. Farrell had come in a few minutes ago, the telephone girl told her, but he had gone out again. , He was safe then. “Safe and sulking.” said Mary Faith to herself. She wondered | where he had spent the night, and decided that in all probability he had 1 gone downtown with Jack Maldon.
