(Continued) "Ah!" said Jimmy, "that's my sccrefc" And from that point he would not budge in sprttf of cajolery and "Here we? are at the garage" he said "He could have given it to either of them to ftt on?" "Yes, of cotrrse " "But he didrtt. He chose you. Jimmy, don't you" see what that means?" Mr. Theslngerstared'at her.' "I'm sorry, Bundle. Possibly the Jolly old brain lsnt functioning as well as usual, but I haven't the faintest Idea what you're talking about." "Don't you see, Loralne?" Loraine looked at her curiously, but shook tier head. "Does- it mean anything in particular?" "Of course it does. Don'jt ypu see Jimmy Had his right hand in a sling." By Jove, Bundle," said Jimmy slowly. "It was rather odd now I come to think of it; it's being a left- handed glove, I mean. Battle never said anything. "He wasn't going to draw to it.

Bundle paid him with a sweet srnlle. "It's nice to know we all get money for nothing sometimes." she murumured. The three stood together lrf the road, silent for the moment as they each pondered the situation. "I' know," said Bundle suddenly. 'Know what?" "Something I meant to aslc you andl nearly forgot. Do you remember that glove that Superintendent Battle foundthe half-burnt one?" "Ye." "DWhTyou say that he tried it on your hand?" "Yes it was a shade big. That fits in with the idea of its being a Wg, hefty man who wore it. "So we've got to look for a left-handed man," said Loraine thoughtfully. "Yes, and I'll t$ll you another thing. That was what Battle was doing looking through the golf clubs. He was looking for a left-handed man's." "By Jove," said Jimmy suddenly. "What Is it?" "Well, I don't suppose there's any thing in it, but it's rather curious." He retailed the conversation at tea the day before. So Sir Oswald Coote is ambidex trous? " said Bundle. "Yes. And I remember now on I that nlghb at Chimneys you know, the night Gerry Wade died I was watching the bridge and thinking how- idly how awkwardly some one 'That's not all what I'm bother-1 was dealing and then realized that lng about. Never mind the size of it George and Sir Oswald were both there too, weren't they?" "Yet" it was because they were dealing with the left hand. Of course, it might have been Sir Oswald."

"Supposing this is the way Sir Oswald has really made his fortune?" "But why stage all that comedy at the Abbey when he'd had the formula at his own works?" "There might be ways of explain ing that," said Loraine. "The same line of argument you used about MrOTOourke. Suspicion had to be diverted from him and placed in another quarter." Bundle nodded eagerly. "It all fits in. Suspicion is to fall on Bauer and the Countess. Who on earth would ever dream of suspecting Sir Oswald Coote?" "I wonder if Battle does," said Jimmy slowly. Some chord of memory vibrated in Bundle's mind.

Rioux spotted the Italian 63 V pounds, and appeared to be ex tremely nervous as he entered the ring. Primo opened up with a left hook which shook Rioux. Then followed a series of smashes, each of which was good for a knockdown.

Rioux did not land" a punch during the brief encounter in fact he did not even attempt to throw aglove. His defense appeared to be based on the premise that he was safest while on the canvas. George Herman Kuth got quite huffy, says Daniel in the New York Telegram. Apparently it was a todchy topic. "I dMnt know where that story started, but I did not discard my family name when I entered St Mary's school," the Babe said. "Some stories have it that my real name is Ehrhardt. Others have it Dckhart. Once I read that father's name was Ehrhardt, Eckhart or Schwartz it's all the bunk. My name is Ruth, and my dad was of German extrac tion. I was christened George Herman, ( and not until I Joined the Baltimore ball club in 1914, when I was 20 years old. did I acquire the rrick-; name of the Babe. I acquired the Babe part of my name the very day I reported to the Baltimore Orioles In 1914. Jack Dunn took me down tfl the-HeM, where the players were holding' a morning workout, and turned me over to his coach a man by the name of Steinam. He took a look at me and then turned to the other players and said, 'Boys, here's Jack's' new babe! From then on I was the Babe. But that Ehrhardt stuff bums me up. Look it up in the Baltimore birth records. George Herman Ruth it's on the books."
