Its string of series victories was threatened last week when the Sacramento Senators took three of the first four gumes. But the Angola came uacK. to win three In a row over the weekend. The San Franclwo Missions were only four gam&j behind the leafiue leaders by reason of seven straight victories- over Portland, while Holly wood, with seven straight wins over Seattle, was only half a game behind the third place San Francisco Seals. The Wjlsslons trounced Portland 0 to 1 In the first 'game when John Babich let the Beavers down with only two hits. Hal Turpln, who gave Babich a battlcj Tuesday, wtw knock ed out of the'box In the third in ning when the Missions scored 6 runs on 6 hits.

Sport Slants By Alan J, (iouiri When Jack Dempscy was In his fighting prime, under management of tlie man who piloted him to the world's heavywolght championship, Jack Kcarns, tho Mamtasa mauler usually told would-be interviewers: "I do tlio fighting: Doc docs tho talk. Ing for both of us." Dempscy, If ho ontertalncd any literary apibltlons or cVon read tho dally papcis to any extent, kept It a societ. After his first fight with Oene Tunney, who already was well known for his discrimination In read ing matter and who quoted at length on literary topics, some one asked Dempscy what ho thought of Shakes peare. To which Jack rcpilod: "I'm sorry, but I have never had tho pleas ure of knowing tho guy." But perhaps the germ of the yearn ing was there, after all. Leaving the classics and biographical dluiertlon to his old pal, Dempscy has now blossomed forth as the editor of "Jack Dcmpsey's Fighting Magazine," a pulp prouuet written for tho fight fan and designed to reflect tho old champion's opinions on current fistic affairs. It also sccmo ho has bought himself an Interest In tho Oladcwater, Tex., (p. 65d) News, a bl-v.eckly newspaper, lust a (iiirstioii, .lack If Publisher or Editor Dempscy can bo pinned down to ono spot long enough to produco soino copy, he should bo ablo to add considerable to the literature of pugilism, past and present. He's answered oome of them before, of courso. but hero are a few ques tions tho fans might like to have the old mauler answer iH'rsonally: What did Jimmy dcForoal do to the bandages on your hands Just bc loro the fight In which you won the title from Jess Wlllard at Toledo? What were your feelings the day you entered tho ring agalmt '1-ominy Gibbons In the famous bankrupt bat tle of Shelby, Mont., In 1DH3V What wau the hardest punch you ever took, and what happened after ward? Why did you take four rounds to kayo Georges Carpcntler lit the hat tie of Boyle's Thirty Acres In 1021? Why did you decline Tex ltlckarcl's effer for a third match with Gene Tunney? In your experience as fighter, pro moter and referee, name the six beat lighters you have ever met or seen, In any division? And a I.

Into shape to beat I'rlino Car nera lor the heavyweight crown thli June. In addition to slicing himwlr a T per cent dividend off the gate re ceipts. Baer owes a considerable share of his fighting rise to Dcmpsey's en couragement, but the lite that ,ro(-s with the footlights h.is cut rather deeply into the Cnllfnriilan'a chances for real ring greatness.

In the second tlio score was tied nt 3-3 for four Innings before tlio balloon went up. The Mountaineers suffered a bad break In the third inning or the sec ond game, Which would have given them a victory. Anderson, on base after doubling, fell betwotm second and third and turned his ankle, bet coming an easy out. Conkiln, on first base, scored n bit later on Rags dalc'a single. For tho Missionaries, Cu minings, at first, turned In a sparkling brand of ball, handling 24 chances without er ror, and, banging out three hits. Crls cola wua the hitting star however, with four hits, including a homer and a two-bugger. For the Mountaineers, Ragsdale turned In an excellent Job In the cen ter garden, taking six, flics, some of them difficult to handle. Conkiln looked good at first with 23 chances and no muffs.

AJPtOive "Huruc" Anderson a football team capable of "real brain work" and he will have no fear of the outcome In games with squads that rely primarily on elephantine force. , The "brain work" is doctrine ex pounded at every spring practice ses sion and every alumni meeting by the new coach at North Carolina State college who came here last winter from Notw Dame. 1 "Football has grown more com plicated -wtthin the past few years and real brain work on the1 part of players Is now required," Hunk re peatedly tells the'oTd grads and the candidates for the next varsity squad, I Attracts Men With 1 trains "The game has become scientific, calling for quick and accurate think ing by players, captains and coaches. Men must be smart now to playfoot- ball. The period has become history when it was said that Bny 'blg man picked up anywhere could play foot ball, --t As 'a result of the Bcientific changes, - athletes today will make better scholastic averages, as the game will attract the student with a brain." " Wherever he goes Anderson mokes much ado over the fact that 29 state college athletes, ' many of 'them' well known where football Is discussed. were 'among the number recently cited by the faculty for exceptionally high:gradert in their studies.' ' Only Two Full Furthermore, he takes pride In re calling that only two ; athletes one freshman football player and one varsity boxer failed to pass the re quired scholastic work :last fall. And he chuckles in telling the alumni that "not a single varsity football player flunked." 1 John Stanko is one of the best ex hibits Hunk has to offer. Aside ; from being one of the best guards the Southern conference has produced la years. John averaged 90 or more on all studies for a two-year period. ' Baseball Standings Coast Leugue KtuitdlimH W.

Judith has a plan to jjreneut .ampere's succeeding, and secure ing the money lor the Bevlns heirs. ...y. Chapter 37 JUDITH'S PLAN Mil. SCOGGINS, when does tills oil man ot yours Intend to Btart sinking his well?" asked Judith. , 'lie said he reckoned he could get tho apparatus in here long next month and git to working some time alter." "Mr. Scogglns, tell me this. Has Big Tom Bevlns ever betrayed you In anything? Or have I, working as his stenographer, ever done any. thing you might look upon as -a breach of trust?" "No ma'm, no, indeed." "I wonder then If you will do this for mo. Forget this other oil man. Go bnck to Houston with Mr. Kane, Mr. Santord will lly you back. You nnd Mr. Kane chose your own drill er, have him como down here and sink your well for you and I will finance It." ' " 'Jtulilh!" Slim spoke Involuntar ily. 'It's the host thing to do all around, Hllni," she explained, "1 want to know it there is oil In our flood basin. 1 want to find out for sure belore tho will contest conies up In court. 1 believe it will make a materlnl difference in the Jury's de cision." "You're right," agreed Larson. "You mean I'd git to lly to Hous ton?" asked ScogKius in wonder. " 'Yea, and lly hack. We'd like to got this welt started as soon ns possible, wouldn't we?" Scogglns face had cleared of Its doubts. "I like deullu' with you Miss. Judy. I never did quite cotton to this other feller. Ho was nice with sweet words to Maine nnd ho brung little Tommy a mess of playthings but I illdu't cotton to him." " A NU now we must see what we can do to protect you. Mr. Scog glns. Max, will you run down and got Ogden, the notary public out of bed and up here? 1 want to draw up a contract. Mr. Scogglns. Isn't there somo friend ot yours you'd like to havo In?" "Well, Scoflold had an uncle who was a lawyer, you might git him in." After the messengers hail left Scogglns turned to Judith " reckon 1 can sleep tonight," he said. Judith noticed for the lirst tlmo how worn out he appeared to be. It had cost him much peace of mind to listen to Mame and her oil man. and betray Big Tom's faith. "Miss Judith." he ventured a mo ment later, "could I take Tommy and Mame with me to Houston?" "I'm sorry but tho ship doesn't carry that many passengers, but I'll tell you what you can do. Mr. San ford will take Mrs. Scogglns and Tommy tor a ride It. the morning be fore you leave . . . and I'll tell yon what I'll do. I'll have a friend of mine buy Mrs. Scogglns' a llsh scale dress and you can bring It back as a present." During the time It took to draw up tho contract she focused all of her attention on the wording, passed it to each man In turn and, confident It Vas proof agalns',' Ld'mpere'B agents breaking, placed It before Scogglns for his signature. And Judith, pen poised a full mo ment, signed last. The days began to pass like drab brown oblongs of khaki. No time to think, with the mad rush ot work and the tension of Big Tom Town to watch. And then the tension broke. It broke at twilight. There had been the calm ot the after dinner hour hovering over the camp and Judith sitting on her trout porch had lis tened -to her Mexican vanquero singing to his lady love when sud denly tho guitar stopped and out on the air rang the words "Oil . . . oil . . . they've struck it, she's llowln' forty barrels per . , ." ""vlli . , , Miss Judy, Oil," the cry V- oarae up the hill. A band ot workers 1 were approaching her, "They struck oil at Scathborno's field, brought in a roarln' well. Slio got away from them at first. Rider just come in from there." Judith wanted to say. 'Well, what of it, how does it affect us?" but she knew bettor than that. She pretended interest, ndvlsed them to quiet down, but they had como to toll her they wore going on over to see for them selves. "Walt," cried Judy, "tell you what boys, let's make a night ot it. Scnth borne'B mules and wagons have worn a pretty good trail, wo've got a full moon In our favor, and we'll get the company trucks nnd picnic over, what do you say?" A roar was their answer. Larson, having heard the news, had come racing to Judith's house. Judith turned to him "make It In relays." she said to Larson, "they nil want to go. Figure forty to a truck. Make them sign before they lenve that It they don't report back for work within twenty-four hours, they'll for feit this month's wnges. And tell them there'll bo coffee nnd sand wiches for them when they como back." "I'm fighting rather desperately for loyalty," she informed Larson. "As soon as you get under way I'll call tho wives together and start them making sandwiches. Tho res lanrant men and 'storekeepers will help, 1 know, and preacher Smith will let ns use Ills ennvns taber nacle." With Larson and the men away she turned to Delphy who had stood behind her fairly quivering with ex citement "Delphy," she said In a low voice, "you've got to help me now ns you've never helped before. We have to keep these men steady on their jobs. More than halt ot them nro married. Their wives aro going to be down in town helping us make sandwiches and you're going to say thiugs to them that I wouldn't dare." "Swear words?" offered Delphy, delighted, "Miss Judy, you never did hear all the words I can use." "No. Delphy," Judith laughed. As usual the old woman relieved the tension, "you'ro going to say you suppose that all those fool men will be rushing off thinking they can bo millionaires; leaving good Jobs be hind and losing them. You're to say It's a shame men don't think of their wives and babies first, that they are all gamblers, taking a chance on a million they won't get and leaving their good salaries behind, under stand?"
