Well, he can just phone and phone and leave a thousand messages, but I won't} see him and that’s that!” ‘Jealous?’ But it wasn’t. As she fitted her key into the door a tall shape loomed around the corner of the corridor and she had to see Derek, for he stood suddenly between her and the door. He took her by the shoulders and shook her a little, and when she started to protest he bent down and kissed her soundly. “Now slap me,” he taunted, “for|ing one foot up and the other Cleveland I feel a slap coming on and I don’t care at all.

Eventually she came to a door leading out on a wide veranda. She sat down in the sort of porch swing she’d seen in newspaper ads and never expected to own. She swung back and forth, gently, | loving the breeze off the Sound, looking at the crescent moon and idly counting stars. “If I could only spend the evening out here,” she said, half aloud. “I wish the same,” sighed a tired voice from a lounge chair at the 8. “Isn’t it dreadful? | “Terrible,” agreed the voice. “Why on earth did you come?” As her eyes accustomed them selves to the semi-gloom, she ob- served that her sympathizer was ; a middle-aged man in dinner clothes with a grizzled, hard-bit- ten face and heavy jaw. “Because I was invited,” she an- swered. “But thank goodness I don’t belong to the four hundred | —or is it the six or eight hundred by now?” “Then you must be a celebrity or a visiting firewoman,” deduced her porch companion. “At least you must know that Page woman, for this marty is her doing, I un- derstand.

A_ three-! run burst in the seventh ran up, the total of Detroit’s markers. One of the largest week-day gatherings of fans in Ceveland witnessed Feller hang up his twentieth victory of the season, the first pitcher in the major leagues to accomplish this feat this year. He ran his total of strikeouts for the year to 197. Feller has lost only six games. For the second and third crucial games of this series, manager Oscar Vitt, of the Redskins, will use Mel Harder and Johnny Gorsica.
