Phone 9788 Hilda got under the cold shower and ‘shivered as the water battered her pink and tingling body. Her eyes shone. Maxine Dorsey’s eyes glowed‘black. The next thing to being a champ yourself was making a dhamp. Maxine, a famous old- timen, was going to experience the doable thrill. But it was someihing else that brought fire to the blue eyes of Hilda Dale. A boy. No, two boys. It was thrilling and, yes, a little frightening as well, to have two boys tugging at your heart, each strain- ing in an opposite direction. Johnny Rogers had whispered things into her ear something like the seductive- prospect held out by Maxine. And “And why not?” she demanded. Haven’t I made you the hottest thing- in tennis this season? Haven’t you got a trunkful of cups and medals {0 show for it? The Wig-htman Cup team, of course. That’s our goal and we’re on the verge of seeing it ac- complished.” SHEPPARD & GILL LUMBER CO. The ladies’ tennis pro smiled en- igmatically. , “The Wightman Cup! 0h! Max- i‘ne, you can’t mean it!” x “Like a champ. You’ll make head- lines with today’s performance my girl. A few more like that andâ€"- well, those English girls are going to make a terrific try to lift the Wightman Cup next year.” “Nice work,” Maxine said. “I liked the way you stood. up and took it in that third set, Hilda. That tall girl from New Jersey had you six- two and I was frightened.” “Came through, didn’t I, Maxine? Hilda said. Maxine Dorsey picked her up at the showers. Maxine hovered over little Hilda like a ducking mother hen over an extraordinary chick. Maxine admitted a proprietary in- terest in Hilda Dale. She’d discov- ered Hilda on the public courts when Hilda was barely past eleven years old, and Maxine’s practiced eye even then perceived in‘ the gangling‘, tow- headed girl the makings of a cham- pion. She moved with the grace of the natural athlete every muscle know- ing its function as if by instinct, and instinct schooled by months and years of hard, driving practice and harder competition. Hilda came off the courts dripping with perspiration. You wouldn’t have thought it possible. No excess Weight on that slender, supple frame of hers. ' THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 18th, 1937.

She shrugged and smiled. “Walk?” she invited Johnny. Over by the deserted courts they “See you later,” George said, get- ting up and leaving his entree un- tasted. The girl watched him 90 in dis- “I won’t be busy, Johnny,” she said sweetly. They both gave Bur- ton an offhand glance as if to tell him wordlessly that he was in the way. “Wonderful match, dear,” he fel- icitated. “Your foreharnd was unbeat- ableâ€"simply unbeatable. How about tonight?” 1 “Truth beats diplomacy any day, Hilda. If you could only see it as I can you‘d know that all these club people and so on that are making such a fuss over you don’t care a whoop about Hilda Dale, the girlâ€" like I do. They’re only interested in Hilda Dale, the tennis playerâ€"who, can bring them reflected glory to bask in*swell their gate receiptsâ€" advertise themâ€"~so they can cash in.

You dareâ€"” “I dare anything, sweetheart, beâ€" cause I love you â€"- and becayse I know you love me. And it's time we did something about it. Johnny Rogers strolled by. He gave George Burton a supercilious glance and bent down over Hilda. “Wonderful match, dear,” he fel- “Next year? You could lick any woman and most of the men In the world the way you played this af- ternoon. But that’s mot the point. What’s tennis‘l A game, that’s all, and the sooner you come down to earth and realize it the better off you’ll be.” She glared. “If you’re proposing to me again, I must say you’re about as diplomatic as a charging buffalo.” “Maxime says I’ll be good enough for the Wightman team next year.” Hilda remarked as casually as she could. Her dinner date was with George, who was doing all right in his busi- ness. He came straight to the/point. So Maxine, observing the shine in Hilda’s eyes, thought that her exâ€" citement arose from the prospect of being a Wightman Cup team player, of competing before. the King and Queen at Wimbledon, perhaps being presented at courtâ€"the prospect too, of years of luxurious fun and travel, hers solely because she could slap a little white inflated ball harder and more accurately than any other girl in the world! But Hilda wasn’t thinking of those things, not exclusively. She was thinking of Johnny Rogers amd Geo. Burton, and wonderingâ€"«wonderingâ€" with the most excruciating delight a girl like her could knowâ€"“Which 0.;e shall I take? Which one onght I to take? “Hilda,” he said, “do we go West tonight?” “George! What are you trying to do, rush me?” “Been trying to rush you for years, darling. As if you didn’t know. I’ve got to know, honey.” Why can’t a girl have two hus- bands, one to stay at home with and another to fly around places with?" George was no tennis player. That is, he could dub and slam his way through a set well enough to trim a complete duffe-r, and he had been a fair sort of a football player at Stanford. He got around to the best clubs too because he was, of all things, a swimming pool salesman. Naturally, the prettiest girls at the club dances had no eyes for the likes of him when young newspaper od‘s like Johnny Rogers were about. Hilda remembered the first time Johnny Rogers had condescended to notice her. It was the night after she’d won her first important tourâ€" nament. Just two years ago. She was seventeen then a lithe, bubbling, vivid kid from the West, with rub- ber legs and amazing power in her slender shoulders. Those days Hilda was scribbling a note every night to George Burton back home. Maybe it wouldn’t be any more than a scrawl- ed “I love you,” but enough to let George know she wasn’t forgetting. Johnny Rogers was a god, no less. A Davis (hip player. Erratic, but, at his best, probably the mest brillâ€" iant and devastating volleyer in all the world. Young and strong and magnetic. He lived and breathed tennis. Tennis to Johnny was father and mother, eat and drink, and if it must be admitted, support. He’d beenvaround the world a couple of times playing his way. He knew all the best people and put up at the Better clubs. Sports writers wor- shipped him, opponents trembled at his name. There seems to be no middle- ground. thm people stop being downâ€"trodden, they begin to be bored. Wife, â€"â€" “Because you always let me get up to light the fire now}!

At length one of them ventured to say: “Mr. Edison, why do yyon have everything so perfect except this awful turnstile.” “Ah,” replied the host, his eyes twinkling. “Everybody who pushes that tuvnstile around, pumps eight gallons of water into the tank on my roof.” The late Thomas A. EdiSOn waas showii.g a party of friends over his beautiful summer residence, equipped with many labor-saving devices. One exception, however, was a turnstile so stiff that it required considerable strength to force a passage. “Hi, yourself!” “Did you say something about go- ing West tonight, mister? Because â€"if you didâ€"I’m thinking I’iI want a reservation.” “H‘i!” she- said, approaching tim- idly. _ Hildo closed her ears t best she could. Finally the men eft. Hilda felt cold and clammy and â€" used! She found George in the lounge read- ing, a highball at his elbow. “They get that way,” the other man said. “Have to nurse him along, though. 11" young Pembles comes a- long as good as he looks, Rogers will be out in the cold. Give him enough rope to hang himself. But we ought to show a big profit on Dale this year.” “Dale for Essex. Okay. Marble- head is yelling for her‘already. Route her right through. By the way. Johnny Rogers is getting out of hand. Wants too much.” The light came on. Voices of two men rumbled through the room. Hilda hunched herself up farther. But the men weren’t noticing her. She re- cognized their voicesâ€"two members of the all-powerful Tennis Commit- tee. Arbiters of her fate and the fates of all the glory-seeking young- sters at the ;.ets. ' “Dale will go to Essex IIL‘Xt month. Weak draw there last year. Dale’s hot now. She’ll pull them in. By the way, have our press department build her up." “How’s about it? Just like that.

Plenty of gals in foreign parts that would like to see the great Hilda Dale on the courts. Make a mint of dough for everybody. Not cost us a penny. How’s about it?” She found a huge chair in the committee room. Dark. the room was. She knew it would be, and that’s why she chose it as a re- fuge. She curled her slim legs under her and gave herself up to serious miserable contemplation. Which? Which? “I’ll go mad!” she told herâ€" self, and bcIieved it. “Did George mean it when he ran away? I’ll “Bob Ross has a tour mapped for me, sweetheart.
