a a News--Sports Markets--Classified PRICE THREE CENTS Winchell On Broadway a Man About Town Broadway's Hot Spot A Girl's Story THE gayest of the Heartacre Square asylums is the Abbey on 54th st. just this side of the canyon. It is where the night loafers pause with their magdalens before going home to their wives, after they have filled themselves elsewhere with Wyoming Ketchup. The syncopation never ceases from 11 p. m.

until the following dawning, for when Jerry Friedman's tooters have failed to exhaust the tireless fox-trotters, they are replaced by the Croonaders, a trio of mad musicians, who sing and hoof as well. Between dances several models parade in their beads. The Abbey, then is Broadway's hottest spot, and not until all the others have pulled down their blinds does to capacity, although its audience changes at least twice before the curfew law for other clubs drives the late comers into the Abbey. In a corner surrounded by men who are tailors, but who spend, droops a lass who was the class of the street less than a year ago. The market she will say, made her what she is today, but some of us know that it was a lad she adored.

Still beautiful, and gowned in last year's smart frocks, she keeps making believe that she still is in the dough and although she has run the gamut of Broadway emotions you hope for her, I only had some decency "I she says without whining. "If only I could hold my head high again I wouldn't regret a thing. I don't care what they are saying about my past. It isn't that. I know I am not on the hop any more.

But they are now saying for those brownskins Japs and Chinkies and it is almost killing I wouldn't be so desperate now if I could get myself to care for a white man, but they are too cruel when they link my name with the others. I've got to like a -that's why I'm broke. This street sure has been unkind to me and I was a good guy when I had it, too." One of the boys who was on the make a year ago joined her table. He had heard that she was having a difficult time of it. "What d'y'say, baby?" he cooed, "how about you getting to like me for a change and let me be nice to you.

I need affection and you need coin. You know I can give you enough dough to keep those other wolves from your door." And so saying he brought out his checkbook and wrote one for 000. looked at the good-as-platinum SHE draft as he prepared it. Then she placed it on the table before her. "That's a lotta money, daddy," she said with a forced smile.

"Mama could do plenty with all that gold. Mama could pay off the old mortgage at the hotel and set respect from the clerk and bell-boys, and from the assistant manager, who wanted to put me out last night because I wouldn't be sociable. Mama sure could be happy for a little while, you bet. But I can't take it from you. I just can't.

You wouldn't be a good guy and loan it to me for a I mean until could pay you back, would you. please?" "I hate to keep books, sweetheart," he countered, "I sure hate to keep books. I've got a crush on you, honest. Let me love Live for the moment, you never know what will happen tomorrow." She ripped the check into bits and dropped the pieces on the table. "I've got to powder my nose," she said, "I'll see you he later." And then she left the room.

"What a chump!" whispered the eavesdropper at the next table. "I can't believe my eyes," chirped another startled wisey. "She slays me," chimed in another, "and she's so broke!" When she returned to the night club proper bargain-maker had focused his attentions on another woman. "Sit here," we said, "sit here until he comes back." "Oh, he won't be back," she answered, "but I'll sit here a while. Golly, you sure have been kind me all these You could have written plenty, couldn't you? I want to thank you." "Don't be a pansy," we said, "you're a nice girl." "If I only had some decency left, Walter.

If I only had some decency left." DAMITA posed for two portraits by Olive Snell. Both were completed in less than two hours. One was called "Portrait of a Girl Who is Good to Her Mother." The other was christened: "Portrait of Girl Who Stays Out Late at Night." You could tell them apart Lipshutz, the tailor from Philadelphia, who comes to a Manhattan hotel every Chewsday and takes the measure of the Broadway sports and other hifalutin fellers for smart suits But he leaves town at 3, which is too early for some of us If come to this office at 5:30 will get an order for two suits While they were raiding Dinty Moore's place again out of Friday the stews tottering easy were, 44th st. where a bluecoat was killed recently trying to prevent a stickup Gordon Trent, who Arthur James in the Exhibitors Daily Review and Motion Pictures Today sheet, reports that Florence LaBadie. who was a screen star many years ago, is angling with Warner's to play a character role As a matter reportorial accuracy, Florence Badie died 15 years ago after a motor crash, -WALTER WINCHELL AKRON NO.

118 FIND NO LACK OF CANDIDATES IN SHERIFF RACE Thomas M. Costigan On Line Ready To Step Into Contest QUAYLE REMAINS OUT Democratic leaders may be searchfor candidates for common pleas judge at the August primary on that ticket, but they are not being forced to beat the bushes for candidates for sheriff. Prospects of having at least three democrats in the sheriff's contest are strong, for two have announced and a third is right up to the line ready to step into the ring. This potential candidate is Thomas M. Costigan, former assignment commissioner at the courthouse.

Costigan said today he is not yet ready to announce, practically admitting that he is a candidate with the exception of formal announcement. Costigan was democratic nominee for sheriff in 1924 and was beaten by Chris Weaver in his first campaign. Watchful Waiting Then there is Willson B. Smith, secretary to Mayor G. Lloyd Weil, who takes the stand he could be induced to run for sheriff if democratic leaders figured none of the democrats who file by June 13 could give the republican nominee good battle.

Smith is former county delective, and has said he will not file if a strong democratic candidate comes out. This is not exactly complimentary to Cornelius Yarman and Fred Yester, the democrats already in the race for sheriff. Yarman, especially, feels hurt that democratic leaders do not figure him leading contender for sheriff, as was one Weil's strong supporters in the mayor's campaigns. Quayle Not Running Prosecutor Don Isham will have one opponent, on the republican ticket in the primary, but immediate prospects of a second were quashed today by announcement from Walter Quayle that he will not oppose Isham. Quayle was a member of the city civil service commission in the Rybolt administration.

"Isham is running for a second term and I will not oppose him for it," Quayle said. "I expect to be a candidate in two years, however." Nelson Hovey, with law offices in the Everett building, has announced his candidacy to oppose Isham. He was admitted the bar in 1926 and practiced for two years with Andrew J. Wilhelm, before opening his own office. Ray Hamlin, attorney and real estate man, emerged today as a prospective candidate for the legislature.

He said that he will decide definitely later whether he will make the race. Hamlin is a republican and was city clerk for two terms, starting in 1903. before he entered practice of law. If he runs he will be getting into a race that has nine candidates at present and that many more figuring on run- ning. Many Are Mentioned Efforts of democratic leaders to round up judgeship material to keep Judge E.

D. Fritch company in the primary have brought out the names of men prominent in party and civic affairs, but have resulted in no actual candidacy announcements. The names mentioned include those of Robert Guinther, president of the chamber of commerce, Joseph Thomas, past president of the bar association; Cletus Roetzel, former county prosecutor, A. B. Underwood, city law Dow Harter, former U.

S. commissioner and Charles T. Stahl, former member of the board of education. Roetzel, Guinther and Thomas have ruled themselves out of political contests this year, but the others have not yet said what they will do.
