SATURDAY, AUGUST 12, 1939 FOUR BLIND DATES By Edwin Rutt ———__— YESTERDAY: Reviewing the troop# on the fateful day of the party, we find Van Rypper Hark~- ness and Miss Dorothy South enroute to Long Island, trailed by Ape and the Chiseler, Jumbo and Luella are also on the. way— Jumbo having made the weight because Luella fixed the scales. Chapter 25 Smoke In Her Eyes M®: TACKS ADAMS, in a glow- ering mood, sat in that retuge | to of song and festivity Known “as The Heel’ Tap. A glass of ‘Scotch and soda before him was referred Ao only occasionally and, even pa aringly. Mr. Adams réec- the need for the § first fine ston imparted by, alcohol and the further need of drawing the }@n' alcohdlic line before the stimulus | mo gave way to fog. AS a consequence, he was si ing his drink Continental f, ion. With the sipping, hcwever, ir. Adams’ resemblance to things Continental ceased. In other re= spects, his mien was comparable to £3 that of a flea nestling ona bed of itch-powder. Simply. put, Mr. Ame was chafing. use of this’ ‘chafin; ne was the faa that Mise Patricia Oh had ne tsa appeared on thé floor of I Tap. Mr, Adams’ watch informed him that ten minutes must elapse ere this salubrious event would occur, But to a man in the Adams condition, ten min- utes are ten aeons. Mr. At looked at his watch again and put in another aeon of chafing. It is possible that Tacks might have set a new all-time record for chafing had 2 vision of three auto- boring their respective wie into Long.

Likewise would he have perceived a vehicle piloted by Mr. William Steel; upon the rear Seat of which the handsome- ly-bribed East brothers disported. Tacks, however, was unaware of these conditions though, in a dint ‘way, he may have suspected their existence. But at the moment he ‘was more interested in Miss Packy North. Where that charming young lady was concerned, Mr. Adams was risking his ative shirt upon the turn of a figurative card. At this point a presence ap- eared out of nowhere and hove at his elbow. It was a page boy of the half-pint variety. Four feet and four inches of blue-uniformed brass-buttoned territory stretched between the soles of his well- blackened boots to the absurd cap that covered most of his ginger- colored hair. His face looked a re meeting of the clan Freckle. it a certain hard sophistication in his blue eyes dispelled the, ilu- sion created by his stature and i The urchin approached un- his-chin lay a degree off Tacks’ Teft ear, “Hest!” said the urchin Tacks looked up. “Hi, Spike,” he said. The boy came even closer. pered tt wht ter know,” he whis- “if that hunnert bucks fer Bailin’ this job still stands.” Tacks’ éyes roamed over the night club. At the far end of the foom he perceived another youth, irbed similarly tu the be-freckled ike, slipping unobtrusively be- tween the tables. He nodded. “You tell Mick,” he ‘said, “that I've decided to raise the ante. You guys do this thing right and there’s a@ hundred and fifty apiece in it.” An avaricious gleam shot from the blue eyes. Again Spike achieved the whisper of an arch- conspirator. “About the end of the first chorus?” “That’s fine,” Tacks answered. “And don't you birds let me down.” Spike waved a hand as one who The hand beneath the table~ ed.

Probably \the Growers and Blue Sox will play on August 27. ‘Manager An-| sel Barrow of the Growers, who is a gteat friend of “most local players, will be seen in action. At one time he was a great basket- ball player and all-around athlete jin the Homestead High. Manager Nash Diaz, of the Ft. Myers Caioosas, has just written Manager Hamlin for a game here during Labor Day, but the writ- er believes that Frederick’s Mar- ket nine of Miami will play the) Conchs on that particular day, or an All-Star team from Tampa | ant may- journey here-for a series at that time. We predict victory, for the Tro- jans in their game with an All- Star team in Helly woud tomor- row. Pete Schall, secretary and} treasurer of the Florida State League, will gather an All-! Star | club from the “circuit ‘and “tour | Florida. “He expects to play in Baseball problem: Bases full, | two outs, batter hits ground ball to right. Runner on third stum- | bles and-runner from passes him and thus is called out. Did ‘the runner force the batter out on @ base hit? “No. This was! not a force play and batter gets a hit. Another problem: Batter hits between short and third. Short- stop is in’ position to make the| play and retire the batter, but third baseman comes over in front of him and the ball bounds off his glove. It would- have beén’ a great play for ‘the third baseman. In scoring this, do you take in consideration that the shortstopman had a fairly easy play had not the third baseman crossed over? No. You can be guided only by what the third; baseman did do. It sounds like a base hit, but judgement plays must be seen to be scored, Still another problem: Men on} | frist and third.’ Man on first; runs to second, apparently beating the catcher’s throw, but shortstop | makes the catch and quickly | throws home without making any | effort to catch runner at second. Man at the plate is out: It it a stolen base for the man beating the throw to second?» No. It’s a! double steal play and if‘one man is thrown out, ‘the other runner | cannot be credited witha stolen base. for the first- half If of the Socal League in Tam- pa show: “Lefty Britt, Loyal Knights, | leading the pack with .467; F.
