E." Michigan St. Now the budding romance is a secret no longer as Ted tours the grand circuit with the pennantchasing Pittsburgh Pirates. Apparently . distance isn’t going to throw three strikes against the couple. Hemmed and Hawed Publicity shy, Ted picked a girl who followed his pattern. Confidentally, first inkling of the romance came when someone asked The Times for a picture of Ted. He said Ted's girl wanted ‘it.

Cornered at the Cincinnati game yesterday, Ted blushed and hemmed and ‘hawed. He didn’t think it was necessary to go into details, He finally broke down but ‘wouldn't commit himself as to the seriousness of the affair. Neither would Miss Knapp. She blushed and hemmed and hawed.

Drift Together

She admitted, however, that they have been going together all’ season. “Lots of people think we would make a good pair,” she confessed She was astonished that the secret was out. The romance began when Ted began to room at the home of her mother, Mrs. Harold Sheldon. Gradually the quiet couple drifted toegther as they mef each other more and more often in the home. Whether wedding bells are part of an over-all plan, neither will say. But a bit of traveling is in the books for Miss Knapp. A press operator at RCA, she will leave after work tomorrow for Chicago to see Ted play there this week-end.

Cites $185,000 Still Owing on Building

Mayor Al Feeney said today he thought it unwise to “ditch” the present City Hall for a new CityCounty building until Indianap-

olis can pay off the mortgage on its “old homestead.” He voiced his feelings on the proposed combined municipal and county building after Arthur R Baxter, chairman of the building committee, . had said he planned to meét with the Mayor this week to give him the “straight facts” on the plan, “I'd not be against a plan in which we would combine our police station and jail with the county for we need to replace that building. But I think it foolish to consider abandoning the City Hall when it is in good condition, when we still owe $185,000 on its mortgage and when we don't know what we would do with it if we moved,” he declared. “We need a new police station and city jail and I'll grant the county needs a new Sourthouse but I 't see eaving .the City Hall at this time, ” he added. Last year the City and County Councils . passed the necessary ordinances permitting them to share expense of one building to house all governmental agencies.
