A month before Maicie hzd become ac- quainted with her, and of course with the Black Flags, and then the game was on between the girls. Maisle was dashing, stylish and was backed by a wealthy father. Bessie was a dear little thing, who earned her own liv- ing in a department store. Before Maisie had become a “fan” Thurston had made up his mind that Bessie and he would sign up for a life game, but since then, he did not know. The last inning had yet to be played. Realizing that he must put all thoughts of these two out of his mind, Thurston put several quick, hot | ones over the plate, following with a low grounder, and had his man out without a strike. The next two were eacy, and the Yellow Feet were re-| tired in one, two, three order. The| Black Flags, bowever, failed to con- | nect with any of Compten's balls, and | atulated by his team ! ag he, too, registered the same score.

Finally the first half of the ninth was reuched. The score stood 4 to 1, in favor of the visitors. Instead of the usual cheering and applause which had greeted Thurston as he ran to the box, there came a dead silence more expressive than any demonstration. As he had left the bench, he had caught a sight of the pale faces of the two girls, and he wished that a hole would open up before his feet, in which he might hide from them and the mock- ing crowd. He gritted his teeth, clenched his fists until the fingers bit into the palms of his bands, then began pitching with all his old-time vigor. As in the first inning, he put | — NCE HA RTINS 3 ".

A sneer disfig- | ured Compton's face as he swung his | arm, but it changed to something else when Gryce, the captain of the Black Flugs, struck out a home run. This rattled the man in the box, for he let the next man get to second on a line drive that easily passed left ficld, | and the third took his base on Valls. | Thurston then came to bat. His two- bagger brought in another run and put a man on second. The next man bunted, and three bases were filled. The score was now 4 te 3, with all bases filled. The maunzger, Gordon, was the next man at bat, but he fanned out, as did the next. Then came Burchell, who always managed a two-bagger. His ball rose grace fully, soared out and over the head of right field, ard the men Legan eat- ing up the ground to get hame. Just as the man from third began to slide, the ball fe!i into the glove of the right fielder, and the pennant be- longed to the Yellow Feet.
