Well, as far as Virginia was con cerned, she didn't care a snap about this Jack person in particular. It was the principle of the thing. Vir ginia thought it unfair, just be cause she had been transferred from her home town to the Trust company here and consequently knew very few people, that she should be deprived of the opportu nity of meeting eligible men like other girls her age. "Oh, well," Virginia sighed to herself. "What's the difference?" As she turned away from the win dow and started to cross the street, lost in thought, she didn't even see the car that rounded the corner. The driver slammed on the brakes but not before Virginia had stepped off the curb and been splashed from head to foot with dirty, slushy wa ter. It was all she needed at the moment! "I say, I am sorry! I . . Vir ginia interrupted the pleasant voice with her bitter recriminations. "Well, why don't you look where you're going. Now look at me!" "I am looking I" Had the man tne nerve to joke? , "I'm just a sight and it's your fault!" " fou are?but it s not all my fault." He was laughing at her? Virginia saw red I "Oh,,you?YOU Imbecile! You? you . . "Hey, stop. Now don t get any madder. I'll give you a lift home and then . . ." "I'm Just a sight and it's yonr fault." Virginia knew he was right. As suming as much dignity as possible she accepted his invitation. In about two minutes she was at her room ing house. "I'm sorry I lost my temper?it was my own fault, real ly" His laugh was exciting and Vir ginia didn't know when she had ever heard such a pleasing voice. "That's better?perhaps another time you'll drive under more pleas ant circumstances?" "Heaven knows; who can say?" For many days following, Virginia watched for the man who had splashed her but there was no sign of him. One day Mrs. Baker called and invited Virginia to a cocktail party on the following Friday and the same day she was asked to again fill in at the bridge club. As she expected, the conversation kept re verting to Jack-Marshall every time one of the girls was dummy. "It's too bad you haven't even met him, Virginia. He's really keen." "She'll probably meet him at Mrs. Baker's Friday," Bessie said this with such an inflection in her voice that she might as well have added, "but what good will that do?" Virginia was about the last to ar rive at the cocktail party. Mrs. Bak er was charming as she led her from group to group, introducing her with many flattering remarks. Suddenly she laughed. "I want you to meet Jack Mar shall but I'm afraid we'll have to use dynamite to break through that defense!" However, as soon as Mrs. Baker approached, Virginia's bridge partners moved to one side with deference. Jack Marshall! Mrs. Baker was only half through the introduction when Jack inter rupted. "Mrs. Baker, we've met! Believe it or not, I've been looking for Miss Small for two weeks. The girls all gaped. "Well, you'll take care at Vir ginia? You know where the punch bowl is!" Mrs. Baker said. A thrill shot through Virginia as Jack placed his hand on her arm. She knew the girls could bear every word and she was glad that Bessie, especially, was taking it all in. "Anyone ever splash your eve ning gown? I'm depending an it being randy tar the Charity BaHl" CO FAR 1M6 has been an amazing ^ season in two ways?tor its bril liancy and its (allures. For its Mex ico?and the good that Mexico has Ted Williams aone ror Dau play ers everywhere. The . Red Sox, Joe Louis and Assault have taken full charge of the spot light side. They have been the out- ' s t a n d i ng cham- ! pions. Golf has no entry with Ben Ho gan and Byron Nel son, the two lead ing money winners. trailing Lloyd Mangrum in the U. S. Open. We seem to have the best tennis players but a Frenchman is still the Wimbledon winner. What has happened in the first year after the war? Except in the way of record attendances and gen eral enthusiasm, the aftermath of World War II hasn't even ap proached the aftermath of World War I. Not in the way of competi tive class. Can you name competitors today who have anything like the com bined class of Babe Ruth, Jack Dempsey, Bobby Jones, Bill Til den, Tommy Hitchcock, Rogers Hornsby, Earl Sande, Walter Hagen, Gene Saraien, Red Grange, Man o" War? We have Joe Louis. But Joe Louis has been the world's heavyweight champion for over nine years. We have Ted Williams, but Ted Williams hit over .400 before the last war. He was a great ball play er, or at least a great hitter, before World War II ever developed a slight fever. Sammy Baugh and Sid Luckman go well back before World War H. The brief postwar period has de veloped a wild stampede to the box office. But very little beyond that. In baseball the batting stars today include Ted Williams, Dixie Walk er, Dom DiMaggio, Vernon, Musial, Hank Greenberg and a few more. But these are veterans?most of them. Hal Newhouser of the Tigers and Rocky Graziano have been the two leading stars since 1941. Against this list I haven't the heart to give you the names of those who have faded, folded up or slipped badly?who, returning from army and navy assignments, fell far behind. The outstanding per formance of 1946?so far?has been the Red Sox, plus Ted Williams. Plus the Dodgers' fine showing against heavy odds, player for play er. The second nomination is Joe Louis?who against Billy Conn had almost no opposition. Ben Hogan and ?~. looking on ahead you will also see a big revival in ten nis interest - and one of the hot test amateur golf championships any galloping member of the Thun dering Herd has ever known.
