Mac himself knew what it was to break ground in| new fields of literary endeavor. | He had remorseful recollection of the mocking way he had re-| ceived the little newcomer’s con-| fidences about her work that first | day. Adding these two facts to-| gether he arrived at a very satis- factory and ambitious four which} he presented to Brenda without delay. Mac realized unhappily that he “Thank you,” “You are too kind! He realized unhappily that she meant just that. “But for ‘kind’ read ‘officious,’” e said coldly. and her work—gol p- | sea she thinks Saltus would be : o onored by a private view of one of her manuscripts!” In this, however, he did Brenda an injustice.

As time went on and ie grew to know intimately the ten families which comprised the neighborhod, she was chagrined to discover that only Hugh Saltus and the Abernathy twins sympa- thized at all with her ambitions. And the Abernathy twins did not count, since everyone on princi- ple frowned upon their opinions. hey were, as they themselves confessed, a scatterbrained pair: Alaine and Abner (“and what can you expect of people with names like that?”). They lived in the old Abernathy house, “surround- ed by law and order,” to quote them again. By this they meant that on one side dwelt old Judge Harper who kept a more or less watchful eye on the grandchil- dren of his former partner, and on the other, Miss Judith Ormond, now in her seventy-sixth year | but nonetheless alert and ener- 'getic, directed the gaze of two ETH had blundered again. singularly strong optics on the activities of her young neighbors. ‘Mac’s Tops’ N ORMOND had been a - ool teacher in her day; | When she had been retired upon eaching the age limit her fury v no bounds.

Freddy Fitzsimmons pitched six-hit ball for his fourth victory of the sea- son against no defeats. Score of the game was 4 to 2. Cincinnati struck a snag yes- terday in the persons of the low- ly Pittsburgh Pirates. who won their ninth contest of the year. The loss removed the Reds game further from top position. |Cincy got only five safeties from ‘big Max Butcher and lost the fracas 5 to 2. ‘ St. Louis Cardinals blanked the Chicago Cubs,5 to 0. Max Lanier gave up only four singles as the Cards bumped freshman Vern Olsen freely to gain eight safe blows and the victory. New York Yankees continued their winning stride yesterday and moved into the first division with a double win over the Wash- ‘ington Senators. First game was a slugfest, the Yanks collecting '14 hits to win, 12 to 4. In the nightcap, Marvin Breuer gave up seven safeties while his mates collected nine bingles to win, 3 to 1. Chicago White Sox back in the percentages with a double loss to the St. Louis Browns. Opener ended 10 to 9 with a rally in the final frame cut short one run from aitie. In the second game, the Browns hit three Sox hurlers freely to: win 7 to 5. 2 Boston Red Sox retained a firm hold on first place in the junior circuit with a 4 to 1 win over Philadelphia Athletics. Six safe- ties in the last two innings ac- {counted for three of the,runs and victory. Detroit Tigers knocked around five Cleveland Indian hurlers yesterday, the while two of their moundsmen held the enemy in check for an 8 to 5 win.

Marines, 14 ‘to 13, last night in the only game played of the scheduled Island City Softball League doubleheader at Bay- view Park. CCC’s forfeited their contest to Sawyer’s Barber Shop ten when they failed to show up for play in the nightcap. Coca-Cola-Marine fracas was staged only after the Cokes had ‘signed two players among the spectators because of being short of players. Manager Kitchens, of the Leathernecks, consented to the arrangement and the game started. The lead see-sawed back and forth until the seventh when the Marines shoved over four runs to knot the count. However, Sollen-: a barger, pitching for the Leather- necks, walked Hamlin, the first batter up for the Cokes in their jhalf of the seventh, allowed Saw- yer to single, walked Villareal and pitched a ball to Higgs, who sent it sailing fora Texas guer, scoring Hamlin with the |winning marker. Nelson poled three safeties in four times at bat to lead the hit- ters of the contest. Grooms, Thompson and Kitchins hit two out of three. Kitchins’ safeties were two triples. Hamlin, veteran baseball and softball manager and also taking an active part on his team now, executed a sensational catch that surprised himself when he found the ball in his glove. Hancock, in the box for Hamlin’s team, and his brother, Manuel, also starred in the field. Score by innings: R. H. E.
