Harold improved to the! point of throwing his milk at the nurse three times a day. One day his face was exceedingly red, and not from the measles. The nurse’s hand was also red. No more milk was thrown. Each morning the family arose later and later. The men came in about uine to take up their work. Great-aunt Hannah, greatly re- freshed and affable, yawned down the stairs a‘ ten, complaining gently, “How this sea air does make one sleep.” The lights of Allen’ Bartell's house burned brightly;“firs ‘until two, then three.

Great-aunt Hannah called me a fool and said she was going tc make a new will.” “Were von to be in her will?” demanded Pierre. “No-no.” sniffed Tomi, “not that I know of. But don’t you see what an influence he has over people? Two weeks with the Tolands and he turned them from stuffed shirts te utter idiots.” “And without me having a chance at them.” exclaimed Pierre. “What?” burst from Tomi. “I mean.” Pierre hastened to say, “that I could have mitigated his influence.” “Umhuh.” agreed Tomi, “but thev did have a wonderful time.” Mrs. Dorothy Daugherty re- turned that evening.

A mix-up in league umpire as- signments found no-one on hand to officjate. This delayed the start of the game until Umpire Larry Goetz could be summoned from his home, his chief's job being augmented by a player from each team. ~The score was knotted at 7-all at the last of the sixth inning and remained that way until the thir- teenth when each team put across a run, the Cards on Johnny Mize’s third home run of the day, and the Reds with a pinch double and single. Bill Werber smashed out four doubles for the Reds At Brooklyn, the Dodgers were victorious over the Philadelphia Nationals, 6 to 3. Excellent re- lief pitching by Vito Tamulis in the last four frames of the con- test and a sizzling attack netting 11 hits for the Dodgers, featured the game. New York Giants annexed their sixth-straight victory by chalking up a win against the Boston Bees yesterday. Score was 11 to 5. Frank Demaree’s home run and Bill Jurges’ triple headed the Giants’ attack, while Harry Gumbert, relieving Hy Vandenberg in the fifth, sparkled with a two-hit performance for the remainder of the game. No other contests were sched- uled in the National or Ameri- can Leagues. Results of the games follow: NATIONAL LEAGUE At Cincinnati RHE.
