Tim. “You have much to do. I'm

“Such an understanding soul,” re

he snapped into the mouthpiece.
“Inspector’s orders."
"And now, suppose you spill it,”
invited Lee. "What happened be

stairs. And what was that crack of

“Hall gave me his alibi for last

he wae in Atlantic City on a jewel

Duke-Clemson Tilt
Major Early Clash
In Conference Race
Durham. Oct. 2. —Just as the Duke-
Gcorgia Tech game here on October
13 looms as the major early season
grid contest in the South, Saturday’s
engagement between the Blue Devils
and the Clemson Tigers ranks as tr.e
outstanding game of early Southern
Conference clashes.
Clemson certainly won the right to
be listed as a dangreous contender for
the 1934 Southern Conference cham
pionship by its great showing against
a powerful Georgia Teen loam in Af
taut? on Saturday.
The Tigers completely
Tech’s highly-rated ground game and
forced the jackets into the air to win
the ball game. But for a l'Jmble in
the first quarter after they had .ad
vanced the ball to the one-yard line,
Clemson might have put the game on
the victory side of the ledger.
The winner of Saturday's battle in
Duke stadium, wheih will be Duke
first home showing of the year, may
be the 1034 title-holder. In any event,
the game, bringing together Jess
Neely and Wallace Wade for the first
time as opposing after years
of working- together at Alabama,
promises to be as great a game as will

match into an ash tray, which, he
[ noted with satisfaction, was empty,
j That meant Mandy had arrived
I safely this morning. Mandy didn't
j always arrive. She had a drunken
i husband and led an adventurous life.
Besides.' Mandy lired very easily of
dusting nil his books and picking up
his belongings which h* habitually
strewed about carelessly. She needed
innumerable days off.
H* took it u a good om*a that
Mandy bad been there. To hunt **
empty ash tray would have been
the last straw. He would probably
have hurled them out the window,
ashes and all. and the tenarls down
stairs didn't like that.
He settled himself into the r*4
leather chair, his long legs thrown
over one aim, and tried to think.
But his thoughts only buzzed about
uselessly. There were too many
questions lie wanted answered and
before he had finished dealing with
one, another had intruded Itself.
With a gesture of frustration, h*
left his easy chair, sat down in front
of his desk, and opened his portable
typewriter. Six crowded years of re
porting had made Tim visual

his typewriter than with a pencil *r
with his mind alone.
He stared vaguely at the whit*
sheet of copy paper in the stnachin*
Then he began to tap out swiftly:
Question 1. Why did Hall leav*
his fingerprints and tell his alibi?
The latter was intentional, I be.
lieve. Os course he might hav#
lied to gain time, but he knew tt
would be checked immediately.
Perhaps he didn't mean to leav*
his fingerprints that I grant
might have been accidental —but
why was he so incautious, so care,

St. Louis. Oct. 2 <AP>—Frankie

I great Dizzy Dean, headed for the liar
of Mickey Cochrane's Detroit Tigers
i last night.
i They were a trifle exhausted and
their nerves were slightly frayed as a
result of their dazzling drive past the
routed New York Giants for the Na
tional league flag. No one of them
knew for sure who was going to pitch
In the world series opener, but to a.
man they were confident of twisting
the Tiger’s tail.
Dizzy Is Ready
“Leave it to us”, promised Dizzy to
the. excited fans, who blew the old
town wide open last night with one
of the most tumultuous celebrations
St. Louis has ever staged. Then the
big fellow, who clinched the pennant
Sunday by shutting out the Cincinnati
Reds, 9 to 0, for his 30th won of the
season, looked up Manager Frisch to
make another plea for the right to
pitch the series opener Wednesday.
Manager Frisch was set on the rest
nf his -starting lineup, figuring to use
tho. same team that clinched the pen
nant Sunday, but he was still uncer
tain as to the wisdom of sending
Dizzy to the mound after only 72
hours rst. He wanted to give his ace
the asignment, but wanted him to
get his chance at his very best.
Although the starting pitcher rep
resented a problem to Frankie, the
wis ones last night figured “Wild Bill”
Hallahan would he sent to the mound
' for tho first engagement against the
heavy hitting Tigers. “Wild Bill” has
had indifferent sucres this season,

detailed railroad map of the State,
and at which statistics wits regard to
the number of tons of freight handled
by the Atlantic and North Carolina

territory, has convinced observers
here that he is holding an ace card in
his hand.
It was also learned that when the
receiver and other officials of the
Norfolk Southern came here last
week they were very confident and
sure that their lease was no tgoing to
be cancelled. But when they left the

Encouraged by its 21-0 victory over

were decidedly crestfallen and had
been told that their lease was going to
be cancelled. Wrier. the;, offered to
pay the State 5b per cent of the earn

I is of their own bookkeeping and ac

I the governor told them that he war.
“not to he led into a mousetrap” by
such an offer, and bluntly refused to
even consider it. .-The Norfolk Sou
> them must now compete with the
other and larger roads in seeking a
I new lease, if it wants to re-lease the
“Mullet” road -and there are indica
tions that it not only wants to re-lease
this 106 miles of railroad, but needs to
if it is ever to get out of its present
receivership.
While it is virtually certain that
more than one of the larger railway
lines are actively interested in leasing
this 106 miles of railroad from the
State, there are also indications that
a group of shippers and business men
in Goldsboro, Kinston, New Bern,
Morehead City and Beaufort are defi
; nitely interested in the formation of
an operaitng company to operate the
’ "Mullet'’ line as a “bridge line” which
could be used by all the other rail
roads upon the payment of so much
pei ton for its use. This, incidentally,
may be the ace card which Governor
Ehringhaus is holding in his dealings
with prospective lessors of the line,
since it would be much more advant
i ageious for a railroad to lease it out
! right than have to pay rent to an ope
rating company for every car -that
! rolls over it.
The reason several different rail
roads are now interested in leading
this line is because of the new More-
I head City port terminal, on which the
| Federal government has already start
ied to expend some $2,000,000. For
while this line has not been earning
much revenue for the past ten years
or so, it is agreed that it will become
the funnel through which all traffic
to and from the new Morehead City
port must pass. It is also agreed that
it. will become the main link in con
necting the Morehead City port not
onl with the western part of the State
but with the Ohio river valley and
giving all these points the benefit of
combining rail-and-water rates.
Even under adverse business condi
tions and without any port or any'>f
fort to develop the territory served by
the “Mullet” line, officials of the Nor
folk and Southern agreed that the
gross receipts from this line has aver
aged about $350,000 a year for the past
several years, while the total operat
ing cost, including rental to the
State and interest on bonds has been
only about $120,000 a year. With the
increase in business sure to result
from the development of port at More
head City, those who have studied the
situation are. convinced the road is
now of greater value than ever.
