GeneTunney Closes Camp Gates to All r Champion to Go Into ‘lntensive Training’for Titular i Battle. BY CLARK B. KELSEY United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Sept. 12.—Gene Tuntoey's tempetament;—or whatever it Is that makes million-dollar prize lighters insist on solitude—asserted Itself today and the "Welcome" mat at his country estate training camp was reversed and “Keep Out” painted on the back. He is going into intensive training, it was announced, for what disrespectfully has been called the “second heat” of the heavyweight •hampionship. Public Interferes This “intensive training,” Tunney explained, would be markedly interfered with if the public were allowed to watch him and his sparring partners exchange punches. Even newspaper men worry the champion when he is boxing five or six rounds In preparation for boxing ten rounds before 150,000 people, it was stated. ■ Therefore, the newspaper men as yrell as the public were ruled out. The champion gave his last “dol-lar-a-head” entertainment Sunday by boxing five rounds with Jackie Williams and Billy Vidabeck. They were permitted to hit him anywhere they could, except over the right eye. The territory, immediately above that member wks bandaged against a possible mistake on the part of Williams or Vidabeck and Williams almost made the mistake. He succeeded, however, only in partially removing the bandage. The cut which caused suspension of training last week was not opened. Jack Dempsey’s camp still is open to newspapermen, technically at least. But, virtually, all they have seen of the former champion's prowess recently is half-a-dozen rounds with punching bags. ) Just an Accident Dave Shade’s black ye was explained at the Dempsey camp as having been caused by various mishaps known to cause black eyes. Shade is there, it was admitted, as a sparring partner, but it was insisted he and Dempsey had not been boxing in private. It seemed today, therefore, one’s only chance to say “I saw ’em,” and say it honestly, will be to purchase one of Tex Rickard’s tickets to Soldiers’ field Sept. 22, for which a minimum of $5 is charged—no questions asked or answered. It was hinted in some quarters the fight gate may exceed $3,000,000. No definite statistics are available in any form. It is only remotely gnown just how many seats there and how many at each price, but It appeared most probable they all Will be filled.

Two Changes Are Made in Polo Line-up British Attempt to Strengthen Team After Defeat by Americans. By United Press NEW YORK, Sept. 12.—Radical changes have been ma'de to strengthen the British polo team for the second match with America’s “Big Four” at Meadow Brook Club, Westbury, L. 1., Wednesday. -Amer ica won Saturday, 13 to 3. Capt. Claude E. Pert and Maj. Austin H. Williams have been dropped from the British team in arranging a more effective combination. Capt. Richard George will go to No. 1 in place of Capt. Pert, whose play in the opening game was far short of international competition, and Capt. J. P. Denning will go to No. 2 in place of Major Williams. Addition of the two new players may aid the invaders in the second match. Lacking a daring rider to lead their attack, the British never could get going in the first contest. Captain George may be the player to lead that flagging offense of his teammates in the forthcoming battle. He is a rugged player, willing to take a chance and mix it up—something the British were reluctant to do last Saturday. If Captain George and Captain Denning get off to a good start they might pull the entire British team out of its lethargy and send the seYeis into the third match. Should a third game be necessary it will be played Saturday. IS GREAT PROSPECT Brooklyn considers young Watson Clark one of the best pitching prospects it has had in many years.

ping an arm about her firm, young waist. “Oh, yes!" Better not notice that arr business! She wasn't a “petter.” She WAS NOT. But neither did she wish him to think her prudish and inexperien.ed. He lifted her chilled hand. "Pretty little hand,” he continued, a trifle huskily. Well, it was! She knew it. And how romantic to float in this golden, shimmering radiance, being admired by the wealthiest boy in school. Her hand rested in his passively. It was long and narrow, and it was cold from the water. Suddenly he lifted it to his lips and covered it with kisses. Nancy was startled. A halfshocked protest registered, dimly, in the back of her mind. But the night was languorous; there was magic in the lapping of the little waves against their boat. And even her momentary hesitation had been too much for him. He was drawing he* face close “Oh, no!” she cried, moving her head so swiftly that his purued lips only brushed the back of her neck. “You mustn’t do THAT!" she protested, laughingly. Yet the next day. sitting through the opening exercises, Nancy was still conscious of the place his lips had touched. . . . Then he dared speak to her as if nothing had happened! How could he sit at his desk, sharpening a pencil serenely indifferent? Tears burned back of her lowered eyelids. She was glad now that she had insisted he catch up with the others. Glad, too, that she had become suddenly, markedly gay. She came to with a start, realizing she had not been listening to the morning’s announcements. Today was the tryout for the Junior Classplay. They were to give “The Mikado,” and since only three of the girls could sing Nancy felt she had more than a chance for the part of “Yum-Yum.” She pictured the fun they would have rehearsing, the little suppers and parties afterward. It was a wonderful opportunity for her to get in with the “right crowd.” If she was ever to do it, she must win some recognition now in her junior year. The singing teacher had openly praised her voice. And Raymond was chairman of the committee. Forgetting the wound his diminished interest had caused, Nancy collected her books and passed on into the geometry room. “Trying out for the class play?” inquired Sue Martin. “Perhaps,” Nancy admitted airily. Sue stared at her admiringly. “I hope you get It. old thing. Because if you don't we'll have to give it to Sybil. I’m on the committee, you know, and we girls would all rather you’d have it.” “We girls” meant obviously those equally unfortunate in living “below the tracks.” Sue’s mother kept boarders. Nancy shrugged, she resented this enforced loyalty more than she did the other girls’ snobbishness. “Sybil has a sweet voice,” she said generously. .“Not half so sweet as yours,” Sue returned. “And she isn’t as pretty.” As she stood before the small audience in the school auditorium Nancy braced herself by remembering that. And she sang well. She sang better than Sybil because Sybil had flatted two high notes as she was always apt to do. The committee, conscious of the importance of the decision, listened seriously. Nancy thought Raymond’s color had deepened the least bit as she sat down. The third girl was so flustrated that she was immediately out of the running. It was between Sybil and Nancy. Her voice was better than Sybil's. She had more dramatic ability . . . Yet she knew before-the decision was announced that she had Kt. Saw it in the other girl’s flushed confidence. Later Sue Martin confided the result of the votes. “It was a tie,” she cried hotly. "So the chairman had to vote. And of course. Raymond voted with his own crowd. He WOULD wouldn't he?” Bitterly resentful, Nancv said nothing. WHY would he? She had seemed desirable enough to him last night. Her voice 'was BETTER than Sybil’s. Excusing herself to Sue, who had started to walk home with her, Nancy hurried into the furniture store and waited until Sue was out of sight. It wasn’t as if she weren’t “Just as good” as they were . . . Better born than most of them, as a matter of fact! Just as pretty and just as interesting! She cast a stealthy glance at herself in the mirror of a bedroom set. Her mother spent a great deal of money on her clothes. Her father, was always complaining about it, but she had managed to obtain almost everything she really wanted. Given a chance ,she could have managed to do her share of “entertaining.” Then what was wrong? WHAT was it? Sick at heart, she stalked over the tracks down the commonplace street to her own door. She would like to walk right out of this town. Never to see them agr.ln. Horrid, “catty” girls and boys who tried to kiss you, then voted against you! With tears bright in her brown eyes she opened the door. Her mother confronted her, waving a letter . “I read it, Nancy. I HAD to see what it said. Oh. darling, you’ll never dream what is going to happen to youl” CHAPTER II Nancy faced her mother, wonderingly. “A letter for me?” She stared at the large, white, envelope, addressed in a precise, delicate, handwriting. “It’s from Grandmother Gage. Tell me quickly. What does she say?” Amanda brushed the tears from her eyes with the corner of her apron. “Sb# w%flts you to spend your summer vacation with her. Ob,

Nancy, she’s recognized you at last.” Feeling quite faint from the shock of this announcement, Nancy sank into a chair and drew out the letter The Gage name was the one thing for which Amanda felt grateful to her husband. Although certainly there was nothing aristocratic about the heavy, red-faced Silas. A man of few words, those weighted with a bUing sarcasm, which often made Bis wife and daughter tremble, he lived apart from them in a world of his own creation. The black sheep of the Gage family had married Amanda Hawkins for her velvety black eyes and flushed provocativeness, never suspecting that her shrewd ambition to “be somebody” had led her to flaunt these attractions before him, determined to win only the highest stakes. His family had considered the marriage a further indication of his erring tendencies. They were “nice" to Amanda* but she was given to understand that she would never "belong.” Even the birth of Nancy, named for her grandmother, failed to bridge the chasm between the distinguished members of one of Virginia’s oldest families and the daughter of the town ne’er-do-well. Amanda proved to be a capable wife. Her house was clean. She was a good cook. But her conversation was so filled with resentment of the “mean things” his family did to her that Silas Gage often pushed away from the table in disgust. After Nancy was born he decided to move. They left their own State and come to California, where no one knew what it meant to be a Gage or cared. This had been the bitterest trial 'of Amanda’s life. She was forced to live in the wrong end of town while her husband worked in a factory. Machinery seemed to be his only interest. He fitted up a shop in a corner of the yard and spent all his leisure time tinkering. Neither his wife’s protest nor her pleading tears had any effect on him. So her passionate longings had been poured injto Nancy's little ears long before she was old enough to understand. At 3 fears Nancy was not allowed to play with children on her own street. Day after day she sat on her front steps, watching the antics of the neighborhood with wistful eyes. But she was too proud to admit the reason for her aloofness. “I don't want to play,” was her repeated excuse when invited to Join them. She could not have told when that early furtive longing had changed to a sense of superiority and distaste. But at 10 she was walking home from school, alone, lifting her head, arrogantly, as she passed the groups of other little girls, arm-in-arm. Their nudges and whisperings were not unnoticed. “Nancy Gage is stuck up. Sbq thinks she’s smart.” But thes* things did not hurt her. Already she had learned to desDise their opinion. "Mother,” Nancy said, suddenly, “do you suppose father will let me go?” Amanda’s frown admitted that She, too, was worried over this possibility. But her voice was shrill with determination as she answered. “He has to, Nancy. If he never does another thing for you as long as he lives, he has to do this.” Contrary to their expectations, Silas made no objection. “When will school be out?” he asked, gruffly. “In six weeks, father.” He folded the letter and handed it back to Nancy. “All right. I guess I can manage it.” But he turned on his wife, who was hovering, nervously, behind his chair. “For God’s sake. LIGHT! I suppose you’re feeling damned smart about this, aren’t you?” “Why, no. Silas. I’m glad, of course.” “Well, don’t think you had anything to do with it,” he asserted, darkly. His surly manner could not dampen Nancy’s spirits. He had said she could go, and he would keep his promise. In six weeks she was to leave this Impossible situation. And who knew? Perhaps she would never have to come back. She departed in all the glory of Amanda’s ruffles and flounces. For days the sewing machine in the dining room had stitched and tucked. Nancy’s new steamer trunk was packed to the brim with dresses. “I want you to have plenty of clothes,” Amanda declared triumphantly. “They’ll probably expect you to come without anything.” Nancy knew the moment she faced her grandmother that most of All the Credit You Want at Cash Prices PENNSYLVANIA TIRES Consumers Tire Cos. 301 N.

these clothes were never to be unpacked . . . A gracious, gentle little lady, with snow-white hair and wide, dark eyes. “My deah,” she said simply, “come and kiss me.” Her soft cheek was spicily fragrant. Her hands were white and slender. She wore dainty, highheeled shoes, on feet which were several sizes smaller than her granddaughter’s. Yet Nancy, gazing with passionate admiration, saw instantly that in both face and figure she closely resembled this Dresden china shepherdess. This DOLL of a grandmother! The two unmarried daughters. Aunt Carolina and Auntie Jane, fluttered like faded butterflies about their mother. They had come to the station to meet Nancy, and they were unvaryingly, unceasingly kind. But never during the entire summer did they register with her very strongly. Her affection and admiration were so entirely centered on Grandmother Gage. The second morning she came Into Nancy’s bedroom. “Wouldn’t you like to show me your clothes, There will be a great many parties while you’re here, and If you need anything . . Her sentence trailed off, unfinished. She was evidently prepared to see that her granddaughter had the proper clothes. Nancy faced the older woman frankly. “I have a trunk full of dresses. Grandmother. But they’re all wrong. I don’t know why exactly. They Just don't look right.” Grandmother Gage nodded gently. “I understand. Would you rather not show them to me?” Nancy shook her head. Tears burned in her throat as she thought of the hours of tireless labor those clothes represented. It was disloyal even to admit that they were “wrong.” She couldn’t drag them out for her grandmother’s disapproval. “Nerah mind. You needn't Aunt Caroline and I will make a list of the things you need. It's to be my birthday gift.” The dress**s bought under the aunts’ supervision were surprisingly few. But they had the marvelous quality of giving Nancy poise. For the first time In her life she felt correctly attired for the occasion. Indeed, the plain little frocks and hats were so simple that she might have appeared in them anywhere. And now Nancy knew what it was to enter a room and immediately become the center of an interested group. Th Gage family lived simply on a limited income, but their position in the sleepy old southern city was unquestioned- Nancy was accepted by young people whose parents had known the family foe years. “Come here, my deah! I went to school with your fathah!” was like manna to the girl’s starved pride. The summer was one 'ong round of iconics, dances and drives. Naturally gay and vivacious. Nancy discovered that she had qualities of leadership. What was more important, she learned why her former desperate efforts to win attention had been a mistake. She could see now that the most effective weapons for storming the citadel of the socially elect are a community of interests, background and a certain smiling indifference to the effect one is having. “It is not necessary,” confided Grandmother Gage, “for a lady evab to call attention to that fact.” Her grandmother helped, of course. She may have suspected the storm of doubts and misgivli gs which were sweeping the girl’s mil. and. “Always be yourself, Nancy, whatevah youah circumstances,” she said at one time gently. Her suggestions, dropped apparently at random, fell on fertile soil. Nancy studied the old Gage home, trying to decide what was the

reason foa its air of elegant distinction. The furniture was shabby and scattered. The square, high-ceilinged rooms were rather bare. Yet like its mistress and the homely maiden sisters the place had “quality.” Nancy was given a pink and gold striped decanter on a round glass tray. Her grandmother explained that it had been in the family for years. Her grandfather had bought it for her mother when she was engaged. Nancy cherished this carefully. She intended to place it on the mantel In the “parlor” at home. The fireplace was false, a hideous arrangement of glazed, green tile, as unlike as possible the broad, white mantels of the Gage home. Yet around this sacred heirloom she would do her best to create an "atmosphere.” She copied mannerisms of her grandmother’s; lifted her eyebrows with the weary air she considered so appealing; shaped her fingernails to delicate points which made her long hands seem even longer and more slender; cultivated anything and everything which contributed to her aristocratic appearance. She was rewarded by the increased affection and approval of her relatives. The aunts introduced her fondly as “Silas’ little daughtah.” Her grandmother spoke of her as “my namesake.” And the night before she returned home she won an even greater triumph. There was to be a dance at the country home of one of the boys. Nancy, pondering over which of her two evenmg gowns to wear, finally chose the flame-colored one. It was as simple as a dress could be, without a touch of any color, but it suited her vivid, sparkling personality better than any gown she would ever own. She was permitted to go with the son of a friend of the family. He confided as they sped over the smooth highway, that there was to be another guest from out of town. “He’s visitin’ the Larabees,” he explained casually. “And now that I think of it, I believe Jack said he was from California.” s Yet even the announcement had
