T OOKING at her husband as
^ though it were his fault, Amelia
Ames complained, "this chow mein
is too crisp."
George Ames grinned good-na
turedly and winked at his daugh
ter and son-in-law. They started to
smile, sobered as Mrs. Ames spoke
again. "Judy, eat your egg too
yung. It's go~d for you, and you
need it. I think I'll have to come
and spend another week with you
and get you built up."
Judy opened her mouth to say
something, then started eating. Ted
frowned. "She weighs as much as
she ever did," he said.
"Well, she wouldn't If I didn't
watch over her. Look what hap
pened when you moved to Albany.
Poor Judy was worn out just from
the packing up. If I hadn't gone
right along with her and helped her
get settled she'd have been in bed
for a month . . . and also I had to
:ome up there every other week to
see that she took care of herself.
That's why I insisted that you move
back here again near us so that I
:ould keep a closer eye on her. Even
now I hate to go off on this trip
with George for fear she'll do some
thing foolish."
George gave up. But it was time
to do something about it. He lay
swake long that night as an idea
formed.
At the office the next morning he
stopped in the middle of prepara
tions for a month's business trip
through the West to phone Ted to
Amelia Ames . . . her crisp
manner was just a cover op for a
soft heart.
unch with him. It was going to
ake some careful planning to get
around Amelia, they agree.
Things went along fairly smooth
y for three weeks. New towns and
lew faces always appealed to Ame
ia. Then, on the day before they
vere to start their return trip,
3eorge came back to the hotel
?oom to find her feverishly packing.
"We're leaving in an hour," she
innounced. "I got plane reserva
ions by telling them that Judy was
n a serious situation."
"Judyl What's happened?"
"Sue . . . she . . . Oh, read the
etter. It's there on the dresser."
George smothered a grin. "I don't
tee anything here to get excited
ibout. It just says they've bought
i ranch."
"Not only a ranch, but a cattle
-anch," she almost shrieked.
"Well, why not? That's what Ted
itudied for at college." Amelia ig
tored him. "Imagine, taking poor
ludy out on a place like that . . ,
wenty miles from the nearest town
. . . and they've already moved,
["hat letter's over a week old. . . .
3h, my poor lamb! ... all alone in
i deserted ranch house.
George managed to send a tele
gram to Ted. "Get out the Welcome
nat and make it big."
Ted tried his best. He even had
leighboring cowhands on horseback
neet them at the ranch gate to es
cort their taxi the last half mile.
Amelia was impressed, but not
doled. She was looking for Judy.
They found her at the ranch house,
lressed in jeans, riding boots, and
in orange silk shirt open at the
hroat.
Amelia gulped In unbelief. "Why,
[ was never so amazed in my life."
the declared to George as they got
nto bed a few hours later. "My
ludy, dressed like a movie cowgirl
. . . and proud of it . . . and the
louse, all in perfect order . . . and
the wouldn't let me do a thing!"
"That dinner wasn't bad either,"
George added.
"Bad! It was perfect. I couldn't
lave done better myself. It's amaz
ng," she repeated, almost regret
lully.
George chuckled. "Well, isn't she
rour daughter?"
He would liked to have seen Ted
ibout now and said "I told you so,"
is he recalled their lunch a month
igo.
"Judy's really all that you could
?rant her to be, Ted," he'd said.
'Just give her a chance to break
he apron strings and get going by
terself and you'll see."
Ted hadn't looked too convinced
hen, but he had the proof now. In
fact when he had said goodnight, he
bad whispered, "She's a regular chin
iff the old block," and winked and
?odded at Amelia.

' I VHE ash-swinging miz-up in ti:e
American League among such
riflemen as Ted Williams, Hank
Greenberg, Charlie Keller and Joe
DiMaggio has been
Ted Williams
more beetle tnan 11
at first looked to
be. Ted Williams,
the Red Sox blast
er, was the man to
beat back in mid
April, and he is
still the one to beat
through the long
August and Septem
ber march ahead.
Only Wakefield
has fallen behind
schedule among the big hitters.
The others have picked up just
about where they left off and the
scramble still will be keen along
most of the remaining route. There
is little chance now that anyone will
come close to overtaking Babe
Ruth's high mark of 60 homers, or
the two big years that Jimmy Fox*
and Hank Greenberg had in the
past ? but it will take around 45
homers to lead the two circuits, and
the four present leaders all have a
shot at this target.
While Joe DiMaggio's general av
erage has been well below other
years ? his lifetime mark is
around .337 ? the Yankee outfield
er hasn't lost his grip on the home
run bat. His long-distance range
remains. It has remained for
Charlie Keller to improve in both
departments ? the Maryland Maul
er has moved into his biggest sea
son and so far he shows no signs
of slipping back.
While Yankee hitting generally
has been below the expected aver
age up to this Jyly date, its home
run count has been healthy enough.
In the way of long distance blows,
Keller, DiMaggio, Henrich, Gordon,
Lindell and others have managed to
hold their own or do just a shade
better. The American League still
has the margin in power.
In the National
Johnny Mize of the Giants is still
the top home-run hitter in the old
er circuit. National League support
ers will tell you that National
League hitters have to face smart
er and better pitching. This may
be true but we doubt it. We can't
quite visualize better National
League pitching than Feller, New
houser, Chandler, Hughson, Ferriss
and a few more have been offering.
For the past 25 years the Amer
ican League has adopted the old
Babe Ruth slogan ? not to "hit '
'em where they ain't" but to hit
'em where they can't get at >m. In
the way of a home run market, it
is almost a certainty that the Amer
ican will have the four top men.
Baseball again has proved, as
boxing proved in the case of Joe
Louis, that the punch is the last
thing to leave the athlete's system.
Hank Greenberg certainly has
proved it to a marked degree. Hank
is no elastic cat around first base
?the old legs are not what the young
legs used to be. They never are.
But the Tiger slugger has proved
that he can keep on getting his
home runs, whatever else may have
happened through the enervating
process of added years and a long
war layoff.
Your Money's Worth
From which sport does one get
the best return for the money he
invests as a spectator? We offered
this query to a rather large group
of sports-loving fanatics who follow
the fortunes of many games. We be
gan to figure out the cost, plus the
excitement, the thrill and the sat
isfaction derived. It broke down
something like this:
I. For a World Series game, the
cost for a reserved seat is $5.50.
The cost of a seat for a series of
three games is $16.50.
Z. For an Army-Notre Dime
or an Army-Navy football game
the top seat cost is $4.40. The
price is no higher for a Michi
gan - Ohio State or a Pennsyl
vania - Army contest ? fcr any
football contest.
3. For an Open Golf contest
the cost is $2 54.
4. For an International Polo
match the cost tag is around $5.
5. No championship or high
ranking basketball game costs
more than $3 or $4 for a seat.
6. Ton can see a national ten
nis championship match for no
more than $5 if that mneh.
7. For a day at the Olympie
games yon could get a good seal
for $3.
S. Ton caa get one of the best
seats at the Kentucky Derby,
the Preakness or the Belmont
for prices that range from $5
to $1*.
It was here the argument warmed
up, all on one side. Then why
should a boxing match range
from $16.50 to $100, when on a gen- .
eral average the contestants
involved are far below the average
skill of baseball, football and other
stars, including golf?
One answer might be that the
public is willing to pay. It is, of
course, all up to the sporting public.
It still can be said that no law exists
which forces anyone to pay far
more than a show is worth ? and
the public is the only agent that
can handle the situation.
