SATURDAY, JULY 6, 1940 By Franc TIDE es H YESTERDAY: Jan’s household includes two boarders—Norma, @ school-teacher, and Johnny, a trumpet-player—and her brother Lance, a former test pilot who was injured in a crash. The man Jan rescuec tells her he is not at ahi grateful. Chapter Three Derek JORMA had left for her school | and Johnny and Lance were still sleeping at nine the next morning. Jan was washing break- fast dishes when he care into the kitchen wrapped in a pink bed quilt whose color fought with his red hair. He had contrived a shave, probably with Johnny’s Tazor, and his hair was dampened and brushed into quiescene. “I don’t want much to eat,” he said. “Just some orange juice, bacon and eggs, ten or twelve Pancakes and a pot of coffee.” “You'll eat oatmeal and toast} and like it, young man,” she as-| serted, placing a cup on a shelf away oan the jeopardy of ner-/ Yous fingers. “I suppose I'll have to get you some clothes.” “What, no flour sacks?

It’s a shame you didn’t take heed of Coleridge’s “You're responsible for me from now on.” declared. “Here I a morbid tale and forego your first albatross.” “Meaning exactly what?” she asked, inordinately pleased he had noticed her careful toilette. She had smoothed her recalci- trant curls and tied them in place with a blue ribbon and donned a seldom - worn housedress, also powder and a touch of lip rouge. “Don’t tell me you didn’t have to memorize ‘The Ancient Mari- ner’ when you were ten years old?” he drawled. “Oh, I begin to see a glimmer of light. You fancy yourself an alba- tross, is that it?” “And so will you when I’ve} hung around your neck enough!” he retorted. “Stop fenc:ng.” she command- ed, looking very young and deter- long mined and very pretty in her blue| cotton dress. “You must have a | conga return to, Zou can’t stay “Wrong.

I'm not that impor- tant to anyone.” She said slowly, “Any man that’s any good at all has friends who care what becomes of him. It he has no friends, he’s no good.” “Exactly.” Unperturbed, le sprinkled heaps of sugar over his cereal, covered it with thick cream and s| it heartily. “You promised me fried chicken esterday,” he reminded her. ‘Any left?” She went to the icebox and brought him a few leftover pieces. “I suppose you don’t care for dark ‘Climax’ would do. You! look much better this morning,| ‘OU might at least tell me} meat,” she said with light sar- casm. “No, but of course beggars and so forth. Would you mind telling me where I am? Not that it mat- ters; I'm just wondering how far I swam. I was having the most rudely hailed me yesterday. I was lying there in a beautiful state of half-conscious twilight, rem2m- bering, per tradition, all the events of my past and congratu- | lating myself on escaping my fu- ture, when you cu “I don’t see how you can sit there and joke about it!” she snapped. “You ought to be glad to be alive.” “Laughing is better than weep- ing, you know. Moré coffee. Please, and agz., where am I?” “Sea Tide. California. The sun shines year round except when it’s foggy. You are twenty-five minutes from Los Angeles. This old beach settlement isn’t swank enough for Ho.lywood, so it en- tertains only trailer tourists and the city’s hoi polloi. The exclusive beach clubs are up a couple of j miles at Santa Monica—you prob- ably know that.” “No. I’m just a lone, captured albatross. Sea Tide—I came quite | a way.

A tiny quirk of amusement touched her sweetly curved lips. This Derek was bursting with questions concerning her and Lance and this strange household, but, almost rudely reticent him- self, he evidently hesitated to ask | her anything. He didn’t, either, until she returned to the kitchen some fifteen minutes later with a cigarette for him, when the said: hall I snoop or will you tell all?” His easy bantering tone pleased her, she realized suddenly. She had feared he would be dour and tragic. “Lance wants to see yo she told him. “His room is-direct- ly across from yours. If he likes | you, he’ll tell you anything you | want to know.” 'd rather hear it from you. I sense mystery here. Why do you wait on him and why doesn’t he come downstairs?” Her eyes saddened. “He’s crip- pled. He was a fine pilot, one of the youngest and best test pilots in the country..He was never afraid. He had brass-lined nerves. He took a job as test pilot for a plane factory near here at an enormous salary. Something went wrong with a ship on trial flight and he crashed.” “But surely surgery?” he asked intently, soberly. “They tried. Several of the best Surgeons in the country. They patched up everything but his knees—the knee caps were shat- tered—he can't even use crutches. And he’s so young, so pitifully young, to sperid the rest of his life in a wheel chair. He’s just thirty.” Derek’s dark brows drew to- gether. “I’m twenty-six and ’'m not young. I'm ninety. I'll wager that brother of yours more than once he was dead. Hasn't he?

DODGERS AND BOSTON BEES IN 20 INNINGS BROOKLYN PUSHED ACROSS FOUR RUNS IN FINAL CAN- TO TO WIN: REDLEGS DE- FEATED BUCS (Special to The Citizen) NEW YORK, July 6—Longest game of the current season was! played yesterday—a 20-inning af- fair—between the Boston Bees and Brookiyn Dodgers at Boston. Brooklyn finally won the game when they pushed across four runs in the 20th frame on two singles, two walks, a sacrifice, an error and a hit pitcher. Previously the game had been tied up, in the sixth at 1-all and in the ninth at 2-all. Final score—6 to 2. Cincinnati Reds still retained their one-game margin behind the Dodgers with a victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates, 5 to 4. It looked liked the Bucs were going to take the final of the three- game series, however. for the NIGHT GAME (Special to The Citizen) NEW YORK. July 6— Johnny Babich’s seven-hit Pitching held the New York Yankees down in a night game at Shibe Park last night. the Philadelphia Ath- letics winning, 6 to 3. Home runs by Bob Johnson and Frank Hayes aided the A's attack. Reds were helpless in attack, with the exception of a homer by Ival Goodman with a man on beard, until the ninth inning. In that stanza they staged a des- perate rally and came up with the two tying runs and the one to win. ss Chicago Cubs defeated the St. Louis Cardinals, 11 to 5. Three Cub home runs proved too much for the Cards, one of them by Glen Russell, with the bases) loaded. The other two circuit swats came with two and one Nationals will feature Blue Sox s man on bases. New York Giants all but swamped the Phillies yesterday | with a 17-hit attack netting 15 runs to 2 for the Phils. The Giants piled up 10 runs, two in the first and eight in the second, then coasted on in with a three- run and two-run addition in the fourth and sixth innings. Cliff ‘BARBERS.

The contest was played very loosely, the Plumbers committing 10 errors. Castro, of the Saw- yer’s, struck out 13 opponents, while Gates, on the mound for the losers, fanned 12 Barbers. Sawyer’s boys scored the first runs of the game on two triples, a walk and a single, but the Plumbers came back in the same inning to shove over three mark- ers and knot the count on two bases on balls, a triple and a single. In the third, the Barbers rang up two more tallies. Kerr tripled and three errors did the rest. Victors’ final two runs came in the fifth on a walk, two sin- ‘gles and an error. From then on Gates struck out six batters and {allowed but two scratch hits. Castro gave up another run in |the sixth to the Plumbers, a base jon balls and a double by Higgs accounting for the marker. Higgs and Ingraham were the istars aflied for the losers, Kerr, |Navarro and Hopkins..were out- standing for the vcitors. Nelson executed a wonderful catch dur- ing the contest that brought the fans to their feet. Score by innings: Barbers Plumbers N. Castro and Hopkins; |Gates and Ingraham.
