WEDNESDAY, Mz & YESTERDAY: Eileen Gardner has at last made the great de- cision. She has had @ success singing on a little Colorado ra~ dio station, but staying with that job meens enduring the impor- tunities of Jordan Estill, who s to marry her. And going east with Molly Flanagan means taking a big chance for a big job—and the possibility of find- ing Martin, whom she has only once, and would give eve thing she has to meet agai she will go. 30 Chapter 13 New York “THE interview h Jordan, + which she had tried to escape, ‘was hard. “You're hard. You're unfeeling. You care for nothing but climb- inr to the top,” he accused her; his ordinary, rather shy calm broken to tatters. “You love me —but you love career more. You’d rather trample down al your own human feelings stand and sing into a littl 0? tin and have applau: 1 have anything real — wifehood, motherhood, normal human con- tacts. § stared at him. She had somehow supposed that her real reason for going to New Yc ‘was written across her forehead in gilt letters. And here was Jordan lecturing her for being a_hard career girl! She wanted to laugh —and then she felt like crying, a little. So she did neither one. She said, more sharply than she meant, “You're like all the rest ° think.because I want to do some- thing else more than marry you, that it applies to all the other men there are.” He looked at her for a mo- if she were speaking in trange language. “You mean—you mean you want to find somebody who more than I have—who can give you more than I can give you?” There was no way of explain- ing. Nevertheless she tried once No, Jordan. It’s just that, while I don’t love you enough to marry you, I might love some other man enough.” “You do love me,” he said. “You love me, only you don’t know it, you have some crazy ide in your head from the movies. We've gone round to- gether and been good friends, ‘we've been close, we’ve been con- ge and you’ve known I’ve Joved you. I’ve seen your attitude to me. You couldn’t have been my pal—my girl—all this time with- out really loving me. You think you're the kind that can have some impossible emotion, go off the deep end. You're not. You aren't that kind, I tell you, you’re a career woman.” He had, she saw, an image of her in his mind that no amount of argument on her part would turn into a truer one. He wanted her like that—cool to him b e she could not be anything else to anyone else. She tried once more. “But if I think I am, Jordan, it is the same as if it were true You'll have to let me find out for myself.” Unfortunately he th “That means there's chance still, All right, “Nl wait.” His eyes v tional behind the es MTT wait forever.

They stopped at tourist camps,‘mostly, but once or twice they slept in the ear, and one glorious night—when it was that or a fainstorm outdoors—spent snapped at a good darling Tre emo- good money on a hotel in Kansas. | And eventually they were New York State.

Molly knew her neighborhood. Without much trouble the girls found a fourth-story apartment in a brownstone house, on the edge of the better-class tene- | ments, but also not too far from the place where the flower shop, that goal of Molly’s ambitions, was to be. Molly left Eileen to settle in. | It felt a little cramped after the spacious, sunlit rooms in the white apartment house in Denver, You climbed three flights of | stairs. There was a narrow slip of a bedroom for one of them; a living room which the other | would have to use; a bath be- | tween, old, too roomy, lighted by a skylight; there was a kitchen- }ette which was far from being roomy enough. It was furnished rather gloomily and casually; a cot bed in one room, a davenport in the other, various sorts of chairs and draperies that Eileen decided to change whether it proved extravagant or not. But, standing at the little win- dow, she could see the East Riv- er. The boats went up and down, lighted and lovely. The stars showed, in a scrap of sky beyond. Eileen had always lived inland, and this was wonderful. All The Chances NEW YORK. All the chances in |4. the world.

For among the three or four, hundred anglers who will be try: | ing to hook prize bass, pike or: croppie there will be a goodly number of tellers of tall tales, And they‘ll have their chance at the official liar's contest on the eve of the three-day com- petition, tomorrow night. The Norris Sportsmen's club offers a trophy for the best tale in addition to a list of 60 prizes for the top catches taken from the 35,000-acre lake on Friday, Saturday and Sunday—the first three days of the open season on game fish. A year ago more than 400 fish- ermen and their wives and chil- dren checked in from 22 states, most of them from the neighbor- ing commonwealths of Kentucky, Georgia and North Carolina. Prize tale told last year was from the lips of Malcolm Little, a TVA employe, and it went like this: “An Idaho stranger in Knox- ville told about visiting TVA director James P. Pope’s moun- tain lodge in Idaho when Pope was a U. S, Senator. The visi- | tor spied a bull moose head on the cabin wall, asked how Pope had killed it and was told— “It’s fantastic, but true’, Pope related. ‘I was fishing in the lake, ' dropped my plug over my head for a cast and hooked the moose. ““The moose snorted and start- ed to run. I ran toward the cabin, and kept running around the place. The fourth time around I spied a bottle of turpentine on the window sill, grabbed it and side-stepped the snorting moose —pitching the liquid on his hindmost part. “Well sir, that Moose backed into a tree and when he stopped scratching, all that was left of him is what you see on the wall —his neck and head’.” Little admits the tale was tall- er than some of the pines that border the lake, but adds: “T’ve got a better one than that for this year. The boys’ll have to go some to beat me”.

Sterling’s score on two-base! hits puts him second in the league behind his teammate, Outfielder Holsing, who has hit 15. Sterling has batted an aver- age of .318 up to now, while Bill Cates, also from Key West, has hit, 288.

ARMY, MARINES BATTLE TONI PLUMBERS ATTEMPT TO IN- CREASE LEAGUE LEAD IN SECOND GAME Army tonight faces the team it defeated last week to gain its second victory in ten starts. ' Opening a doubleheader at Bay- view Park, the fighting Dough- boys, whose string of eight losses was broken only once, will at- tempt to make it two in row over the U.S, Marines. Soldiers were forced to come from down under to defeat the Leathernecks jiast week but! when the battle was over they had four runs to spare. The vic- tory snapped their latest losing streak of five games and at the same time extended the Marines’ number of consecutive | defeats to an equal number. Charlie Spakes, the jndefatig- able hurler of the Devil Dogs, tonight probably will face Al- meda, the durable Soldier moundsman. Besides trying to hurl the Marines back into the victory column, Spakes will be out for his fourth win in nine starts. Almeda, who has won two against three defeats, is the most consistent Army tosser. Ur le Navy Pepper's Plumbers, in a virtual tie with Sawyer’s Barbers for league leadership, will tackle the makeshift Navy in the after- math tonight. A victory for the Plumbers will increase their almost negligible lead to a half- game. | Navy, wading through its lat- est losing streak, is the victim of unfortunate circumstances. Un- able to put the same team on the field two games in a row due to the exigencies of the govern- ment’s sea forees, Sailors have been woefully lacking in team- work and pitching. Their new- est underhand tosser, a rangy fellow named Gonzalez, offered no encouragement in his first appearance Monday night. Bar- bers shelled him off the mound in four innings with a_ ten-hit, thirteen-run attack. Captain Johnson, who shifts all over the infield plugging weak | GREYHOUND FASTEST DOG spots created by the sudden de- | parture of newly-acquired play- ers, is in a delirium over the! hopelessness of it all. “But”, he says, “what can I do about it? | |'Who am I to interfere with Uncle Sam's orders?” Thus he sums up the situation in a few words.
