An’ fur- thermore,” Asey said, “you'll leave the key of your room outside, be- cause Jeff's goin’ to lock you in an’ hide the key. Do you under- stand that?” Aunt Sara’s face became as white as her hair, and she bit her lip until Asey was afraid that it would bleed. “Oh, Asey, did I—have I been—” *You did.

When was—of course it must have been last night. Oh, dear, dear, what shall I do if 'm beginning that again!” She was more distraught than Asey had ever imagined she could be, and she seemed suddenly to become rather a frail little old lady instead of the erect, brisk person he had always known. _ ‘Tm sorry,” Asey said again. “But you took to walkin’ out by the swamp in your sleep, an’ our shotgun friend was in the vicin- ity, pretendin’ to be a loon.

Have you any ideas?” “One,” Asey said, “but—oh, Sara, oh, my!” He waited at the Leach house until after the rest had returned from town, and then he set out for Hell Hollow, where Hamilton was waiting for him. : ‘This place,” Hamilton “has my teeth chattering. Ase; never saw auything like it. The way that mist comes out of the swamp, and those mud holes, and the noises—I never heard so many noises in all my life! Look, what sounds like this?” He opened his mouth and pro- duced something between a moan and a wail and a horse whinnying. “Tt sounds like sameane in a ra- dio mystery.” Asey said, “at the end of a chapter.

Cuban Consul Berardo Rod- rgiuez, just before the game got underway, presented Conchs and Pirates with two first-class ma- jagua bats from Cuba. Attendance was not quite as big as last week but it was bet- ter than anticipated, considering the announcement that no series game was to have been played since the Conchs had refused to play with Gonzalez umpiring. This little personal matter be- «ween the two leading teams of he city was settled several hours ‘ oefore game-time and after a few exchanges of expressions between three teams’ managers, it was de- vided to let the series proceed as previously s¢hbduled. al. ea id gladty game with. the J arder tq allow” to go through with the championship game.

"FOLLOWING THR BY AGUILAR veoccevece HARTNETT AND TERRY see National League flag ahead, but other managers are more cau- tious, and even joe McCarthy is mot so sure. Of the #6 major, league pilots, only two have claimed the pennant so far—Gab- by Ha_tnett, loquacious leader of Chicago ‘Cubs, and Bull Terry, dynamic manager of New York Giants. Gabby says, “We've got the re- serves and we’ve got the regu- tars, so why shouldn’t I pick the Cubs to win again?” 2 Tne answer came from Terry: “We have an infield now and a man that can mt for distance._ The outfield should be stronger, too, and we have enough pitch- ing to win. Yes, I think this will be the Giants’ pennant year”. | McCarthy had che following to say: “I’m not going to say: the Yankees are going to win the American League pennant be-' cause I have not seen the Red Sox, Tigers, Indians and other clubs in the circuit. But I think that my club has a good chance to repeat. The outcome will de- pend on the pitching and I am satisfied with my staff”. Dell Baker of the Tigers said: “On paper it looks simple for the Yankees 't0 ‘win again,’ but the Tigers will give. them a_ fight, remember that. I_think our club is ‘stronger than last year but the pitthing staff is’ the BIG ‘IF’.” Joe Cronin, Red Sox: “If we had had better pitching last year, we would havé.stopped the Yanks. | Now it looks as if we were going: to get it. I think we have all the batting power we need”. Osear Vitt. Indians: “I never make predictions, but if Harder, Allen are right we will be in the fight”. i Bucky Harris. Senators: “We'll! have better pitching this year. If our infield is right and our out-: field comes through, we will have a good chance for the first divi-, sion”. i Dykes, White Sox: “We’H go to the post a_ better team than last year. I am only’ hoping we dodge the bad breaks and injuries”. ; Fred Haney. Browns: “We! ought to land at least in fifth place, for we are going to hustle all the Wav”. i Connie Mack, Athletics: “The’ team is vastly improved: We will miss Siebert, but we will have.a better club and watch me get out of the cellar with all young players”. In the ‘National League, none of the pilots in either circuit were more cautious than Bill McKechnie, of the Cincinnati Reds. whose club is favored by the sports writers to win the flag: “I am not making any predictiéns. I do not make it a practice to say where my club is going to finish. Any team that finishes in the first division nas a chance to win the flag. And my team will be in there fight- ing until the last game is play- ed”. Pie Traynor, Pirates: “Every department of our club has been strengthencd. I look for another! open race this season, and I pick the Pirates and Cubs to fight it out for the flag”. Casey Sterigel, Bees: “We have [the best.pitching staff in the) [league and = wi the added strength’ this year we should | wind up as a-first Givisidn club*. | F% t Jimmie off its!
