a -- Rb, Wain wr Te _ Curious, if true. . what Doyle's smile might mean. XXGOSOCRIIIIORIIIX XR Larry let the first ball pass and the second was a called strike. He scraped his feet in the dirt and took #8 good grip on the stick. The ball came floating up to the plate and he forgot all instructions and let go. He connected and the ball went sky- rocketing way past centre field and Larry trotted in with a home run to his eredit. © "Pop was furious, "What did I tell you?" 'he demanded when Larry came in, ; "I couldn't--" Larry began. "You do as you are told! I think for this team, and orders are orders!" . That was all Pop had to say, but Larry was fined and benched for a couple of days. The newspapers recorded Larry's insuborination with -some glee and much serious comment. ~. Doc. Biers said that you couldn't keep the col- legiate grandstand play out of a fresh rookie's game unless you bang- ed his head in first. What would Pop Clark do wth ths seemingly brilliant but unreliable player? The Blues left Washington with only one game to their credit out of the three played. The writers said that the Blues were living up to ex- pectations and it was going to be just another year of the Blues' base- ball performance. The succidental winning_of a few games had fallen ten years before. No hope was held for the Blues in their coming game against the Bos- ton Indians at Boston. Terry went to Boston on the night train before the first game. He wanted to be there early and get the lay of the land. He hadtan early lunch and when he saw Several of the players starting for the field, he decided to go out himself and watch the Indians warm up. He was «. oss- ing the lobby of the hotel when he spied Doyle sitting alone in one of the big armchairs in the lobby. He wasn't sure, but he thought Doyle had smiled at him in recogmtion. He was inclined to go back, but could not be quite sure Did he smile in recognition or did the smile mean that Doyle was rather satisfied with the beating he had given Terry down at Tony's? Terry knew that Frances Clark and Sid Reynolds, the Brooklyn sports * writer, would be coming in immediately anyhow. He had seen them in the dining-room; they. were having dessert and coffee when he eft. ' Terry lingered just inside tne lobby until all the players had lest. The doorman gave them the prefer- ence, anyhow, and he had plenty of time. "rom the. corner of his eye he saw Frances and Reynolds pass Doyle with just a nod of recognition. Ten minutes later he wus on his way. His cab was racing along a ~sireet which-had- been deeply ditched for a sewer or some work of that sort. There was a great gaping nole on the right-hand side of the road. The brakes of the cab were jammed on sudden'y and for one sickening 'moment Te. ty felt the cab sway and then come tu a dead stop. There was a terrific traffic jam on ahead, with |- people running excitedly about. "Must have been an accident," the driver said and started backing up while Terry clung to the side of the ear in terror as the rear wheels seem- ed to sag over the edge of the atch. The cab swung across the traffic and 'was blocked by oncoming. cars. "Damn!" ° the driver exploded. "They've got me hemmed in now, boss. I can't get out!" "It may clear up in a minute," Terry suggested Hopefully. ro 30 oh Ai ST NERRELS OOOO RRR RRRRKIRXR "Naw. There's a wrecker, an am- bulance and a police car up there. Was you goin' to the game? It's only a couple of blocks away if you want to walk it." Terry paid his fare and stated ahead. He reached a line of curious spectators. who. were watching a wrecker lift a taxicab out of the ditch. Terry tried to press on, but was stopped by a husky policeman. Terry showed him his newspaper card. "Well, can't you tell a fellow what happened?" . "Sure. A taxicab went. into the ditch." "Anybody hurt?" the man next tg Terry asked. "Now, how would I know? An, 1 up there? You can see as much as I can. If your car ran into the ditch, don't you think maybe you would be hurt a little?" The crowd grinned at the cop's speech, Terry, with a momentary shiver as he remembered his own cab sway- ing to a halt beside the ditch, sidled along the line which the police were holding back. The cab wus pulled free from the ditch ana the horrible work of taking out the victims be- gun. The front of the car was badly smashed in, the top was pressed down over the driver's seat and the :1dés were buckled. They 'pulled the driver out first and then a blow- torch was used on the hinges of the door and the other occupants ere lifted out to the street. Terry looked at his watch. There was still plenty of time, but he hated being held up. _ Across the. stre.d from the wreck a new_building was going up. Terry worked his way Into the building, picking his steps care- fully so as to avoid falling into the cellar, In the rear of wnat woula be the first floor of the building, they were pouring the concrete floor. The workmen were all out on the street edge looking at the accident; that 1s, all but one of the workers, and Terry wondered why he, of all men, should show such a lax of interest. He was ramming something under the con- crete mixture and Terry supposed it was one of the steel reinforcing rods which are used for that purpose. Terry's precarious path led him to- ward the solitary worker, who looked up startled when Tegqy's step on a board dislodged something that clat- tered into the cellar below. "I'm not used to this," Terry said and grinned. "But it is the only way I can get round the police, I want to get to the game." 'The man said nothing, bent his head and went on smoothing the cement. [or a moment Te.ry con- sidered and then went on. That man had seemed vaguely familiar, There was something about him and yet he was obviously an Italian, and to Terry all Italians of the slim, dark type with bushy brows looked alike. It was a corner building which he had crossed and he made the, street away from the accident, walked round the blcck and reached the field in about five minutes.

"Science has so 'arranged mat- ters," he says, "that grandagher now stays on and manages the business --and draws the manager's salary-- s0 tha: his grandson cannot afford to marry and his nephew cannot get employment. "We might decide later that grand- father, even if in private and not Government business, must go und play bowls or spend his time in mo- tor cycle racing, if he prefers it, at- ter reaching 60; or we might decide that the future grandfather, having been promised and by then, practic- ally guaranteed a healthy virile life to the age of 60, might equally be guaranteed a compulsory but pain- less departure from that existence at that age. : "There are obvious objzctions to this, particularly from grandfather, who controls the money ana, con sequently, the- situation " . Dr. Booth offered a stggestion for the solution of the problem in the production, by scientists of a tonic, or aiet, or perhaps a small operation that would make grandson content to be still a schoolboy at 33 and to defer the responsibilities of marriage until he is 59, North Windew Is ~ Best For Fuschia If you have a stand or window- room on the north side where you can keep window plants in a room not too warm, that will be the best place for ferns and fuschias, Taey require coolness and not too tnuch sun, iv order to survive the winter change of temperature.

This de- cline in output was the result, not of a reduced acreage, but of intense heat an. prolonged drought over the wheat belt of this continent and-ex- cessive rainfall and rust in south- western Europe and North Africa. After a good start, the condition of Canadian and United States wheat this year deteriorates steadily in June and July drought proved dis- astrous to large sections, particularly in southern: and western Saskatche- wan and southern Alberta, where the drought was the worst on record. Points to Women Still Worse Off Mrs. Roosevelt Seeks Aid For Rural Women NEW YORK -- Women of -New York's least privileged groups were urged by Mrs, F. D. Roosevelt to "stretch their horizon' to include an even worse situation--the "under- privileged of rural communities," The wife of the president was in Gotham"s East Side. Hitherto she had confined such addresses to more leisured ana wealthy groups, Mrs. Roosevelt began by telling mothers about "rural slums" in West Virginia where no free clinic was available and a child had to have a tonsilitis operation in a, garage. "I know you here in New York do not know much about farm con- ditions "' she said, "but they matter to you just as fnuch as to any one because 'your children and the chil- dren from those farms are going to work together to make the United States of the future. 3 "You women must educate your- selves in conditions in other parts of the country, and be ready to back up the Government's measures that effect the who'e nation. ially interested in better housing, and if poor housing ever becomes a '| thing of the past it will be because everybody knows what he is talking about.
