The Bohunks of the Y. M. C. A.

league standings hy tendering the
Rlnky-Dlnks on 8 to 0 defeat In
baseball while the Goofaloos lost a
soccer game to the league leading
Whang-Dangs by the close score of
1 to 0.
Fakrar In the box for the Rlnky-
Dlnks was given very poor support

was hatted to all corners many of
the Bohnuks hits should have been

The battery combination Smith

BILLY EVANS SAYS
Are football conches making the
most of the forward pass?
Despite the fact that the pass Is
being used more this year than
ever before, It Is still regarded by
many conches ns a threat.
It Is not. unusual for teams tn re
sort. almost entirely to straight
football for three periods, finally
cutting loose w Ith open play In the
llnnl quarter.
A s a rule defeat stares the aver
age team In the face before It be
gins to make use of the forward
puss.
Few conches use the pass more
than Kockne, yet the famous leader
of Notre Dame varies his style to
keep the opposition guessing.
1 hnve seen Notre. Dame play aev
ernl games In which only n very
few passes were used and then
merely ns n thrrtif.
Ttockne's teams have a change of
pace. For that rensoti hla elevens
are always colorful.
Most roaches have a fear of the
liana. They regard It an too dan
gerous a play to be used promls
ruounly. Also, they prefer to win
if possible without .uncovering their
trick stuff - . Much of football stra
tegy ha* the pan* an ltn bani*.
In the forward pas* an dangerous
a play n* o grout many coaches
are wont to believe?
A perusal of the record* fall* to
hear out such an opinion. With
the season about half over the da
tum shown t)>at only 12 thuch
downn have been scored aa a result
of Intercepted passes.
The chief fear Of the coaches In
using a forward pass Is that som"
member of the opposing team will
spell their strategy by picking the
ball out of the air and starting
down the Held.
However, most coaches have de
veloped a defense for the pass that
greatly minimizes the chance for
the opposition to run It hack.
As n matter of fact, with the
season half over, only one game has
been won an tha resutt of an Inter
cepted pass that resulted In a run
for a touchdown.
Dope figures make the forward
pass a reasonably safe lay to try.
Of course, there is always the
« hancet hnf the pass may go astray.
The possibilities of the play, how
ever, ars worth the gamble.
Undoubtedly the most Inter
esting run of the year so far was
the result of an Intercepted pass.
It happened In the game hetween
Amherst and Hamilton, with Cadi
pan of Amherst aa the hall carrier.
Cadlg'in Intercepted the hall as It
was crossing the Amherst goal line,
with a Hamilton player waiting
hack of the line to grab It for a
much coveted touchdown.
Tucking the ball under his arm,
Cadlgan raced the length of tha
gridiron through a broken Held for
:v touchdown.
It was a real thrill. Hamilton
badly beaten, aeented about to real
ise some glory by scoring a touch
down, only to have the opposition
get the ball and make the score.
College football cannot be suc
cessfully commercialised unless the
attraction offered presents several
outstanding stars.
Centre College, with the brilliant
"Ho" MeMlllen and the sensational
"Ttcd" Robert, packed the Harvard

This year Centre, minus Roberts

New York llkrs champions.
Neither Centre nor West Virginia
lad a colorful stnr to attract at
tention. Aa a result the contest fin
anclally was a flsxle.
No doubt In booking future foot
ball attractions for New Tork, the
promoters will pick their spot* more
carefully.
It didn't take Barney Dreyfus*

Connie Mack Says Lamar Makes His Club Pennant Contender
NEW GARDENER
EXPECTED ID
ADD PINCH
BY BILLY EVANS.
Connie Mack at the opening of
the 19249 season predicted that hla
club would run second. It didn't.
Tho unusually tactlurn leader of
tho A til let (cm baaed his ballot on
tho offensive strength which he
felt sure Ntrund, FI in in mm end
Bishop would add to his club.
Htrand. who had made over 300
hits In tho Pacific Coast League,
was tho player Mack hanked most
on. However, hla minor league bai
ling averajto of .400 meant nothing
to American Lcugue pitchers. Ho
failed.
ArouryJ the failure of Strand to
deliver can bo written the story of
tha Athletics' poor showing during
ths first four months of the cam
paign.
Made Strong Finish.
The club lacked the punch a
clean-up hitter who could come
through with men on the bnses.
During tho last two months of
the race the Athletlqs played prac
tically .000 baseball, made a better
shewing that period than any oth
er club tn the longue.
The belated dash of tho Ath
letics came after Outfielder Bill La
mar had Joined tho club.
Lamar, twice before In the ma
jors, was secured by Mack from
(he Toledo club of the American
Association. In payment he gave
the highly toouted Htnnd and the
veteran pitcher, Rollle Naylor.
Lamar Supplied Punch.
Lamar started to lilt the day ho
Joined tho hall club. From that
very day the Athletics began to
perk up.
At the close of the season, the
early port of which was a keen
disappointment to him, Connie
Mack remarked:
“In Lamar I have finally gotten
the man so badly needed In my
outfield. He has given the club a
hatting punch. After thn Joined us
we played the best hall In the
league. I-aninr makes the Athletics
a strong pennant pitcher." s
During the world scries I hump

having made good In Ills third
chance and gave much of the credit
to Manager Mack. Tlint ho Is much
pleased with his berth was evident
from the following reinak he mado
to me:

"F.very man on our club believes
we have a fine chance to win the

"The Athletlca can field as well

HERE FOR STRUGGLE
A numher among the sporting
fraternity In Augusta are discuss
ing the possibilities for getting the
football teams from Tech High
school, In Atlanta, and the Colum
bia High school, of Columbia, S. C.,
to meet In a game here during the
first, part of December. It is under
stood that steps are being con
templated toward the procuring of
the game to be layed at Academy
Field.
Both of these teams have played
here against Richmond Academy
and each defeated the Muske
teers by fairly largg scores. The
football fans, therefore, feel that a
game bfetween these two excellent
high school Yearns would be not
only a drawing card for Augusta
but an event of much interest in
both state. It is stated as extremely
likely that the Tech High boys may
cop the state prep-school cham
pionship of Georgia and that Co
lumbia High will attain that dis
tinction In South Carolina.
Such eminent authorities ns Leo
Cotter. lien Boerkman, Frank Do
lan, George Sancken and others
have been talking it over and be
lieve the game would get a crowd.
The peole of Augusta have seen
both teams in action and there
seems little doubt that local fans
should be glad of such an op
portunity.

Douglas Raynor is found shot

room of Flower Acres, his Long

Eva Turner, Raynor’s nurse,
stands by the light switch. In

ville Kent, Nancy’s brother,
comes in from the south side
of the room. And then pzra
Goddard, friend of Finley; Miss
Mattie, Raynor's sister, and
others, enter upon the scene.
Dective Dobbins is official in
vestigator. An autopsy reveals
that Raynor also was being sys
tematically poisoned with
arsenis. Lionel Raynor, son of
Douglas Raynor by first mar
riage, comes to claim his fath
er's estate. Now Dobbins, pos
ing as a reporter, interviews
Nprse Turner's mother in New
York in hopes of learning more
about her daughter.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
"Oh. publicity?”
"Yes. Where was Miss Turner
born?’’
"Land! I don’t know.”
Dobbins stared. "I thought you
were her mother!”
"I’m only a hired mother. You
know, actresses and nurses and, oh,
lots of girls—nice ones—have to
have a mother. Well, sometimes, not
having a real one—they hire one.
I’m a professional mother. I have
four ’daughters’ in this house.”
"Miss Turner Is in luck to have
scoured your services,” he smiled,
"but—er —do ladles as—as mature
as Miss Turner need a—a chaperon
?*•
“Not always,” she smiled at him.
"Eva is no chicken—but I’ve been
her mother so long—she still keeps
me on.”
"How long have you been with
her ?”
"Lemmessee. Twenty years or
more.”
"Was she a trained nurse all that
time ?”
"Not all—she was on the stage
first off—but she got hurt in an
automobile accident—”
Dobbins’ calm gave way, and his
Involuntary expression of excite
ment frightened the woman.
"Look here.” she cried, "who are
you anyway? What do you want of
Eva ?”
”1 want to see her—l want to
talk with her—why are you so
alarmed ?’’
“You don’t want her for—for any
thing special?”
"Such as what? What have you
mind that frightens you so? I
thing. Mrs.—”
"Mrs. Morrison.”
"I think, Mrs. Morrison, that you
are unnecessarily disturbed. Unless
Miss Turner has reason to fear my
questions, I cannot think she will
object to them. But, one thing, first.
You have known Miss Turner sor—
did you say. twenty years?"
“About that," the woman’s face
was sullen now.
“Was her name always Eva Tur
ner?”
Mrs. Morrison's face turned
white. •
"So It’s come, has it?” she said,
with a moaning wall that trans
formed her independent attitude to
one of cringing fear. "Are you a
detective?"
"Yes. I am. Now, you'll save your
self time and trouble for yourself,
Mrs. Morrison, If you answer my
questions. What was Miss Turner’s
names as an actress? I know all
actresses have assumed names."
"She didn’t. When she was a
chorus girl—not an actress—she
used her own name—Effle Talcott.
She was a nice girl and a good girl,
until—”
"Until she fell Into the clutches
of a bad, unscrupulous man."
“Exactly that. He made love to
her, he led her astray, he ruined
her, and at last he took her on a

Joy ride—there waS an accident, and
she broke her leg—a bad compound
fracture. He took her to a hos
pital—and he never saw her again.”
“He paid her expenses?”
"Yes—but he had promised to
marry her—”
"Are you sure?”
“She always said so. She sued
him—but he was too great and pow
erful for her to have success cif that
sort. His lawyers settled with her
for a very small sum—which she
was obliged to take because she had
no way to make him pay more.”
“And—was she —Is she of a re
vengeful disposition?”
“She is, indeed!!—that is—why.
no—l don’t know—”
The woman had suddenly come to
her senses and realized that she
was telling too much for her
“daughter’s” good.
“I don’t know anything about it!
I will tell you nothing more!” she
'cried angrily.
"Give me her present address.”
“I will not.”
“Then I will find out for myself.
Good day.” And Dobbins "test her
without further word.
CHAPTER XIII
Eva’s Story
It was two days later that Dob
bins returned in triumph to Flow
er Acres, bringing Miss Turner with
him.
When accused, In the presence of
Mrs. Raynor, of poisoning Douglas
Raynor, Hiss Turner at first de
nied it, and then, as further pres
sure was brought to hear, she cried
out —“Yes, I did—l did try to put
that man out of .the world. But I
didn't do it —his wife shot and kill
ed him!”
And this story she stuck to.
She told the tale of her acquain
tanoa with Douglas Raynor, ad
mitting it was twenty years ago.
"He Soiled my whole career.” she
said: "my w'hole life. I was a suc
cessful singer, a favored chorus
girl. My dancing was greatly ad
mired and I planned to become pro
fessional dancer, rather than a sing
er or an actress. I had-rfi fine op
portunity for advancement, and
was about to accept another and
better position than the one I then
had. when I wpnt, at Douglas Ray
nor’s invitation, on a midnight ride
in his car. He drove the machine
himself—a swift roadster, and,
we were on a long lonely stretch of
road, late at night, that man—’’
She paused a moment, glancing at
Mrs. Raynor, and then, at a nod
from the detective, she went on,
"that man tried to throw me out
of the car.”
"Incredible!” murmured Dobbins.
“Yes, he did,” Eva Turner
reiterated; "he gave me a push, and
I should have fallen out, but that
I grabbed the side of the car. I
also grabbed at his arm. and that
threw the steering gear askew—l
suppose, for the car swerved, and
upset, and we both landed In a
ditch by the side of the road. He
escaped without serious injury hut
my leg was broken In two places,
and I could never dance again. I
could walk all right—without a
limp—but I wouldn’t take a dancing
step. Of course. I couldn’t walk un
til after three months In the hos
pital, and then three mre of re
cuperation at home. And Mr. Ray
nor never came near , me—never
sent me a line of sympathy or en
couragement—merely sent his sec
retary—or some man of business, to
learn" of my progress and pay til*
bills.”
"You felt revengeful for all this?”
Dobbins asked, mildly.
"Did I?” Eva Turner’s eye glaz
ed. "I wanted to kill him—l wanted
to put him to death by some slow,
lingering torture that would make
him feel a tithe of the grief and
despair that I suffered!
“The only thing I felt I could take
up was nursing. During my stay in
the hosital, I became interested In
that, and the nurses I met there
were kind and helpful. So, when I
was able I took my training and be
came a graduate nurse."
“And all the time your heart was
WEDNESDAY, NOV. 5
full of revenge toward Mr. Ray
nor?” the detective inquired.
“Yes. but I saw no way to grati
fy It. In fact, as the years went by,
and I grew older, I rather forgot
my hatred of him—and became ab
sorbed in my work. Then, one day,
by chance. I came across—l heard
through another nurse, that Mr.
Raynor wanted a dietitian. That is
one of my specialties, and as I
thought about old times, all my
hatred of*the man came back to
me—all my animosity revived, and
I conceived a diabolical plan of
coming here to be his dietitian—
and poisoning him while I prepared
his food.”
"Cold-blooded premeditation,
then.”
“Yes —I supose so—but it didn’t
seem to me murder—it didn’t even
seem wrong. It seemed only justice
toward the man who had wronged
me, who had wrecked my life—
who had tried to murder me! Right
or wrong—that is what I came to
Flower Acres determined to do.”
Miss Turner sat bolt upright in
her chair.
"And so you poisoned him.” Nan
said, slowly, looking at Eva Tur
ner. “Did he know it?”
“I’m not sure. I think he sus
ected it. That was why he gave
me a large sum of money—in se
curities—if I would go away from
here.”
“He knew who you were, then?"
Dobbins asked.
“Not at first. But I revealed iffy
self to him —and then he was
frightened. He begged me, pleaded
with me to go away. But that was
my revenge—to see him cringe and
crawl. I’m not sure I really meant
to kill him—l don’t know. I wanted
to have him ill—suffering—fright
ened — and then, if my revenge be
came satiated—erhas I should have
stoped the poison."
