He does, and she says “yes.” It will mean that Polly's Aunt Susan has to live with them, but David does no? mind. Now David has driven e, head in the clouds, and has found a little boy named Peter Wiley on his doorstep. Peter is the son of a distant cousin of David's. om Chapter Five Peter’s Story “I guess that’s about all,” he said. “Only Dad was sorry he hadn’t had time to write you and tell you about me before he sent me down here. But he didn't. He was working, and all at once he had a—a hemorrhage, and—and after that he just didn’t feellike doing anything.” David leaned back. He, lit a cigarette, and watched the’ boy.

Cc. F. Spakes, Marine moundsman, held the hard-hitting Barbers well-scattered bingles and would have scored a 2-0 win had he been given air- tight support. All of the Sawyer runs came in on errors as the Leathernecks threw the ball over the field in wild fashion and butter-fingered easy high fly outs. A smashing triple by Rahtbun, the towering first sacker, who scored when a’ teammate was thrown out at first, sent the Ma- rines out front 1-0 in the see- ond inning. From then until the closing frame the deceptive slants of Nene Castro muzzled the booming bats of the Devil Dogs. Meanwhile, Spakes had the Bar- bers eating out of his hand for three innings but a collapse of Marine defense in the fourth set- tled the issue. In that wild frame, Sawyers shoved the old ball game into the bag with a three- run splurge. An error by Sharik that put Russell on first set the stage. Hopkins’ single and a mis- cue by Petkovic sent him home for the first tally. Roberts drop- ped the ball just past the infield for another safety, sending Hop- kins across the plate. Tynes was thrown out, short to first, and Roberts shoved on the play. The final Barber run was scor- ed in the fifth when Jersetz drop- ped Stanley’s. high fly to center and went on home on a_ bad throw to second by Thompson after Albury had singled. Successive singles by Sharik jand Tebeau accounted for the second and last Marine score in the seventh. Thompson'and Rathbun, 'Leath- ernecks, accomplished “once in a lifetime” feats by bouncing triples off the centerfield™ light pole. Score in ace to six wy innings: R. H.

A six-hit pitching job by Lino teammates sent the strong Pep- per’s Plumbers down in defeat at the hands of their bitter rivals, the NavStas, 11-7. A big second inning that net- ted six runs gave the Station ten a lead that was never over- taken. After scoring a lone marker in the very first frame on a triple by shortstop Philip Baker and an error by Julius Villareal, the Stas took advantage of Clar- ence Gates’ wildness and a pair of errors to pile up the half doz- en run Gates, the city’s leading soft- iball pitcher appearing for the first time this ye gave two jmen free ti and allowed a pair of doubles, a triple by De- laney and a brace of singles in the second inning uprising.
