YESTERDAY: It looked for a long time as if Eileen Gardner's wild decision to go to New York and make a place for herself was futile. For she had gone mostly to find Martin Dane, and she could not find him. But one night she did, and she asked. him whether he believed his mother’s feminist teaching that a girl had as much right to propose as a man. He did believe—now Eileen is going skiing with Martin’s crowd, and talking for the mo- ment with Lewis Delevan. Chapter 20 Tough Going ZEN faced his fine, hard} eyes, and realized what that deliberate emphasis meant. Of course. She had told Martin to check on her. This man—well, better of course than a detective bureau—had been turned to, for checking. Whistled up as a sort of private guard, Well, at least then, Martin knew she’d told the/ truth about herself. “Public Enemies Numbers One and Two, in fact?” she said coolly. “Tell me who these people are.” Hands in pockets, small} face tipped up to him far above her, she defied him silently. He introduced her without) more words to those nearest. A big healthy black-browed girl iving a last wax to her skis, neeling beside them. A bigger, red~faced, black-browed man Pawing records from a_high cabinet—Bill and Lolly Grant, obviously brother and sister, ob- viously rather dumb and friend- ly to everybody. They grinned at her without prejudice. The married couple, the Roland Perrines, were too much in love to bother one way or the. other about outsiders or insiders. She was a round cheerful bright-eyed child in a fi eoliared jacket and trousers. He was lank and collegiate and taffy-colored. They held hands and sang, most of the time, she was to find. Eileen was relaxing when Caro- line. burst in. She was swathed in a big white woolly coat that set off her fair flare of hair and her exquisite, high-cheekbined face. She waved ski sticks and shouted and descended on every- one indiscriminately with an at- tack of embraces and kisses. She sapped short, an arm still around Robina Perrine, and said, “H i Martin. Ejleen said, “The name’s Gard- ner. You got it a little wrong.” Caroline wasn’t giving quarter. | Her voice rose gaily. | “Can you beat it, children! This is the one Martin found in| the flower shop when he didn’t get back for an hour! The girl with the trained ankle, coming ri Roly Pes with the party 0] errine stopped singing a his wife closer. The | friendly big Grant boy sobered, his hands stopping above the records. There were limits even} to what Martin the playboy could hand to their womerfolk, the si- Jence said. Then Martin said casually, amused, over his shoulder from amon, the pile of luggage, [he b staring at a fire crackling, and at a moonlit snow coyered hill beyond a _ window. Tomorrow morning, instead of jumping awake with the alarm, dressing like a fire horse, snatching a cup of coffee at the drugstore, she’d wake and ring for a tray across her knees. She'd bathe leisure- ly in the big tub beyond the door, She .deliberately shut out rything but that as she fell asleep. Late as she rose, she found, coming into the living room, that only the men were up. Bill, in a corner, was working on his skis, the other two, lounging on low upholstered couches that grouped by the fire, were razzing Lewis for his energy. “Tm a workingman,” Lewis was saying unmoved, shrugging himself into his leather wind- breaker. “Got to make use of holidays.” He stopped as the others rose at Eileen's entrance, but only to say, “Here’s another worker. Put your things on, Eileen, we'll skate till luncheon.” Probably a showdown. Well, as good first as’ last. She laughed back at the others and followed him. There was a_small lake about a meadow’s length from the house, with a little wood black above it. It was freshl7 swept. They changed to skates in silence, and as silently took two turns round the tiny sheet. “You have something to say. Get it over,” Eileen said, He took her at her word, “What will you take to stop this?” he demanded. ° She did not pretend to mis- understand him. “Nothing can make me,” she said. “Except Martin, of. course. I'm here with his consent. I can’t see where you come in.” ‘T can’t let my best friend marry an adventuress.” She wrenched away from him, at this, furious and scarlet..Then she got hold of herself, made herself answer quietly. “I'm not an adventuress. You know that if you looked me up. If Msrtin told you anything he must have told you that I'm doing this because I care.” Rules Of The Game PVpentars a playboy, but he’s Wd an easygoing idiot too.

Yes, eves you're here because you love him—with his nine mil- lions—for himself alone. You said so!” He made a scornful sound. “Look here—won’t you cut this out? I can understand deperation for financial safety. I understand ambition, I know a girl’s quickest way’s through a man. I don’t want to be hard on you. Cut this out. Live for others instead of yourself for once, Pll get you work to do.” , “Live for others—like Caroline Dempster—or Lewis Delevan? ‘Unscrupulous as to methods!’ ac- cording to a magazine I read?” “Caroline? I can handle her,” “should have broken it to you I was adding a pair of guests to my own party, Car. Matter of fact, | I met Eileen when I flew out to!

She and I held an Old lome Week in the taxi. I wanted her to come along to the night club, but she wouldn't do that we compromised on the skiing . Sort of appropriate, she'd ad my gold ski all this time.” “Had your gold ski?” Caroline's eyes = reen. “I found it,” Eileen said, and ; whatever reason, Caroline juieted.

Barbers Slash Plumbers’ DLE THE KEY WEST CITIZEN : Two-Game Lead In Half; Downed Pacesetters, 4-1 Roberts’ Relief Hurling! ang went to second on passed | FEAT SENATORS: FIVE, WA- Staved Off Threaten- ing Rally In Sixth; Na-; varro Sparkled Afield Sawyer’s Barbers, tumbled out of first place by a pair of games they tossed away to the Plumb- s, came back at Bayview Park last night looking like cham- pions to knock off the Pipefitters by a 4-1 score, and move within a single game of the diamondball loop lead. Juanie Navarro, ace Barber shortstop, turned in a sparkling infield job, and the relief tossing of rookie DeWitt (Buster) Rob- erts saved his teammates in as tight a hole as a pitcher can walk into. The Barbers’ triumph last night, setting the stage for their final meeting of the first-half season with the Plumbers next Wednesday, makes ‘that game the big show of the year. A game Se SECOND GAME FORFEITED Their team riddled by trans- fers and guard duty, the Ma- | zines last night forfeited their second game in as many weeks to the NavStas. Players said the Marine squad probably will be with- drawn from the league until more men are available. League President Manuel Varela, who said he had not been officially notified of the ‘team’s intention of dropping out, declared the game, second half of the twin bill last night, forfeited. ——_—_—_ out of first now, the Barbers are expected to wallop Navy Friday and Monday, which would put them even with the idle Pipe- fitters when they meet next week. Should the Barbers win that one, then take their four post- | poned tilts against weaker oppo- | sition, the Plumbers, with five | postponed games to play, will have no chance to catch up. If {the Plumbers win their third match in the four-game _ series with the Barbers, they will have | virtually clinched the loop | crown for the second time. “Cigarette Willie’ Gates, star | Plumber tosser who had shackled the Barbers in their last outs, gave up five singles five walks last night, and there was nothing his mates could do about overcoming that lead at the bat. Navarro, acclaimed the best shortstop in Key West, turned in three fielding gems to rob the Pipefitters of almost hits. In the first, he went high jin the air to spear Jackie Car- | bonell’s liner in an “impossible” catch. In the third, he again robbed Carbonell of a hit with |a difficult one-hand catch near | the leftfield foul line, and in the | fourth, with men on second and third.and two out, he nailed Aurelio Lastrés’ grounder at sec- end and tossed him out at first with a lightning throw while on he fwh.Navarro On andther oc- casion, speared a sizzling liner in the ‘mir and threw to second to complete the only double play of the game. Neno Castro started as pitch- er for the victors, but was pulled in the sixth after loading the bases on two walks and Navarro's lone error. Roberts, coming in from his outfield chores, fanned Gene Torres, first man to face him, and the brothers Lastres popped out to leave the runners stranded. Kermit Kerr, Barber first- sacker and captain, made a sen- sational running catch of Gabriel astres’ foul in that frame, and second baseman Ralph Arnold picked the other Lastres’ liner off his shoe tops fer the third out A running account of the in- n which runs were scored | BARBERS=Russet! “flied } Hop s beat out infield barely ‘knocked down her;.Tynes sacrificed Hop- nd and wild pitch Arnold, swing got away rew too late after retrieving i to r Arnold; Hopkins scored on the play, beating the toss to home Arnold, running for second. tag- ged_out when catcher whipped ball to shortstop after failing to retire Hopkins.

SIDELIGHTS A rookie and a veteran simul- | taneously walked off the field | \last night with avowed intentions | of relinquishing their suits, ac- cording to grapevine reports. The youngster, third baseman Charlie Rosam, quit the Plumb- | ers just before time. when | captain Jackie. Te =| ed his name from the lineup. | Carbonell, the reports say, bench- ed Rosam for criticizing positions assigned him on the field @nd in the lineup. Barber veteran Leo | Stanley, a 428 hitter, resented being benched in favor..of a weak-hitting rookie and left for | parts elsewhere. That the Barbers and Piumb-| ers have fan-appeal is evidenced by the larger number of specta- tors turning out for clashes be- tween the clubs. Strongest of | the six-team league, the ancient | rivals are now in the midst of a! bitter fight for championship of the first-half schedule. - i Softball players are investigat- ing a report that an unknown! scrub team has “hired” the serv-{ ices of a four-legged “under-j world character” to help equip | its. members with gloves. } The plot was uncoyered by! players who absentmindedly toss | es on the ground after; rning .from the field and aving them there until their n has completed its turn at a bat On several occasions players e had te run down the four- ‘ged miscreant to retrieve their ves and only the watchful’ eves of spectators prevent wholesale theft of the hand pro- tectors. If the owner does not amend the ways of his “hest friend”, players say they'll jail both the dog and man. if the latter's iden- tity is discovered.
