On April 3, 1932, an All-Star nine played the Sluggers at Ft Tax lop field and won, 3-2. In was 2 Close, exciting battle. Joe_,fHouse) Casa, he of the “dark ball’, and Molina pitched for the Stars, and Earl (Wrink- ley Bill) Ingraham, famous soft- ball backstop, » caught. ed the battery for the Sluggers. On April 10 of that year, the Sluggers again lost to the All- Stars. Quintan Lopez was on the mound for the Sluggers but even this great pitcher of Key West couldn’t stop the Stars, who won, 2-1. Molina pitched for the victors. Lopez allowed only two hits. He lost the game on errors by his teammates. Another 3-2 victory the Stars when they Sluggers for the third April 17, 1932. Casa came back to the hill to hurl his mates to the close tri- umph. M. Acevedo accepted his slants behind the plate. Bethel and Fernandez worked for the Sluggers. Bethel allow- ed just one hit until the ninth, when three safeties and two er- rors gave the Stars three runs and the game. Finally, on April 24, the fol- lowing Sunday, the Sluggers, bounding back from three suc- cessive defeats, crushed the Stars 7-1. Bethel at last got by the nine regulation innings without faltering and without his team- mates crossing him up with er- rol William Cates caught his tosses.) Puby Carbonell and Mo- lina pitched for the Stars. M Acevedo was behind the plate. On April 26, 1932, another lecgue was formed, with S. Na- poles elected president, M. Va- rela.

Her father had—no it sounded incredible. How could Phil know a thing like that? Yet why should he tell her something that could so easily be disproved if it weren't true? There was a funny feeling in the pit of her stomach. It would be there at least until she was able to get her father on the phone.

' “It’s good to see you again. It’s been almost a month.” | Todd looked at his father and tried to smile, but couldn't.

Try it, Toddy.” “Okay, I'll try it.” News For Todd SOFT autumn rain was fall- ing over the city. The trees, loaded to saturation point, dipped their branches toward the ground. Todd, walking along with his raincoat buttoned close, fre- quently had to duck as he walked across the dark campus. Once, whem he ducked, a thigh muscle twinged. He had spent sonte time after supper at Trainer Johnny Miller’s quarters getting a heat-ray treatment. The chimes from Jewett Tower boomed out the 9:30 tune as he crossed Main Street. Just as he passed the State bookstore a fa- miliar figure popped out of the drug store and hurried up Syca- more. On an impulse Todd ran after her, even though the thigh muscle ached. “Susan,” he called softly. She stopped quickly and turned around. He looked down at her. He could, hardly see her eyes in the darkness under her oil- skinned. hooded*hat, “Don’t we‘ruf into each other | in the funniest places?” she said. ‘here’s nothing funny about a y night. I like them.” “So do I. That's why I didn’t ng. out. in it. They walked along slowly. “I meant to call you and tell you I had a jswell ti at the dance. L. feel guilty telling you almost two weeks later.” “That's all right,” she told him i quietly. There was a meaty: feeling of her own racing through her. She made up her mind. There was only one honest, thing te do. She would have to tell him about her ‘ather sooner or later he would. find out himself and then it would be so much worse. Rt would be better if she told him | herself. She tried once but it wasn’t easy. She tried again, and this time she started blurting it out, so she could get it over with. “Todd, I've learned something else about—What I want to say, Todd, is that it was my father who hel) put your dad in prison. ’s_a police lieutenant, you know.
