: MONDAY, OCTOBER 9, 19 Meet Mr. 39 ‘By Marie Blizard YESTERDAY: Laura tells Ce- cily that something peculiar is going on, but can say no more, At peace with Laura, but disillu- sioned with Locke, Cecily pre- pares for the end of the season. She goes shopping with Philip. Chapter 34 Yacht Club par was hard put to divorce the banter from the sarcasm. He hid behind similar banter. “Wouldn’t you be willing to starve m a garret, Cecily?” he asked. “With your social gifts, we wouldn't have to! And then, of course, you could always write an- ner book.” He seized on her suggestion. “As of fact, P've a great book i ad, my girl. You know, Ce- cily, as I've said to you before, I’m oaly a weak fellow unable to re- sist the pleasant lure of your cor- dial invitations. But now ... well, I'm getting anxious to be at work.

A little later she said determin- edly, “We'll show Mr. Heming- way! You’re coming to the dance without him. We've two. extra men to stay at our place. The Penny twins are coming and Dr. Kettering, Aunt Olivia’s. pet phy- sician, and a man named Frank Smith will be there. They'll be delighted to have you.” “That’s sweet of you, Cecily, but T'm.afraid not.” The ance was on Saturday. It had been Wednesday when Don- ald told Laura that he had_to go away on business. On Friday Cecily asked Laura if she would change her mind. Laura had looked pained to have to refuse but she had been adamant. Then, Saturday morning, Laura, had gone to the post-office for the mail, bringing thei joint mail back in a bundle. Cecily took the bunch of, letters, saw that there was one from Doug, three or four for the shop, and one for Laura, | the latter addressed in a strong, masculine handwriting. She passed them on to Laura and. slit the fat, stuffed envelope of. Doug’s letter. Doug was coming home! She skimmed the lines first to get that news, then she readvhis almost un- readable scrawl slowly, page by page. “Doug’s comir.g home,” she an- nounced, looking up. Laura said, “Is he? How nice!” Her head was bent over her lett “Tf your invitation still holds goo I think T'll accept it. I’ve... 've changed my mind about the dance.” “Grand!” Laura tore her letter into in- finitesimal pieces and scattered them on the burning hearth. | “Then that wasn’t...er...

Good ‘PIRATES TAKE LEAD! Lochinverr iy county isAcue: ‘SOX BEAT €ONCHS BUCS DEFEAT TROJANS IN) FIRST GAME; SOX SWAMP KEY WEST NINE WITH 18-| HIT BARRAGE 1 | By O. L. MILIAN { Ray Bush’s Pirates won undis- | puted possession of first place in| the second-half race of the Mon-j |roe County Baseball League by | a 7-to-4 victory over the Trojan Red Devils, while the tail-end) Blue Sox were hammering two} of Hamlin’s pitchers for a total of | 15. hits for a 10-6 win in yester- | day’s double bill at Trumbo Field. i The second game was a real| upset as the lowly Sox sunk Ham-! lin’s bombing artillery behind the | stellar pitching of Guiro Diaz and | Oscar (Cork Arm) Molina. Their} mates, meanwhile, were collect- | ing a total of 15 safe clouts off! Robert Bethel and Lucilo Gon-| zalez. The defeat knocked. the | Conchs out of first place. Of the fifteen hits by the Sox in ; the nightcap, Gabriel Garcia got! four and Guillermo Diaz three. Leading four to five through! the seventh inning with the) Conchs threatening to tie up the | score, the Sox blasted across four | runs in the eighth to sew up the contest as Albert Rodriguez came through in the nick of time to crack out a long double to deep! center with the bases loaded. | Going the full route for the! » | first time this season, Frank Sal- | inero, Pirate hurler, held his for- mer teammates spell-bound with | effective control and his curves; breaking like a big leaguer’s. | Sally, as he is generall known, | experienced one bad inning—the third. Jasper Walker, Earl Adams’ star pitcher, singled to center. Domenech followed with | a line hit to the same spot. Third baseman Hernandez muffed John Navarro’s grounder and Walker scored from second, Domenech | holding up at second. .He took! third on a bad throw by Specs Carbonell. Sterling poled a dou-j; ble to left, scoring both runners. | Wickers drew a base on balls but} died on first base as Kelly’s weak | fly to the infield was taken by | Al Acevedo. This tied the score at 3-all but the Bucs broke through in the last-half of the, third round-by putting across a: run on two hits, a base on balls! and a sacrifice. A pair of tallies) in the fourth round put the game on ice for the victors, with Salin- | ero having the Red Devils at his} mercy. | Curio Garcia cracke out a dou-/| ble and two singles in four tries. | Box scores: i Pirates | 5 $ Player— Al.
