YANKEES LOSE LEAGUE LEAD Washington Senators Make First Place In American League New York, June 24.— (U.R)—The Washington Senators, one of the heaviest hitting clubs in the American league's 33-year history, have blasted their way to undisputed command of the circuit, relegating the world champion New York Yankees to second place. Amazing slugging, which piled up 112 runs and 199 hits against their opponents’ 40 runs and 105 hits, enabled the Senators to win 111 out of their last 12 games and | boost their club batting average to a brilliant .304. just 12 points less ; than the American league record! of .316 established by Detroit sor 1 the 1921 season. Meanwhile the Yanks, who were six full games ahead of Joe Cron- j in's outfit on June 6, suffered from! poor pitching on the road and dropped 11 out of 18 games. New York still ranks second in batting at .288, which is two points higher than last season. The Senators took sole possession of the league lead yesterday, for the first time this season, by making it three in a row over Chicago. 7 to 3. This dropped the Yanks from a top tie into second place for the third time this year. Washington hammered Ted Lyons ■ for 16 hits, including a homer and! three singles by Heinie Manush who hit safely for his 26th consecutive game. New York split a twin bill with St. Louis, the Yanks taking the opener, 10 to 6, aided by Babe Ruth's 16th home run and a t'ourbagger by Bill Dickey, but the Browns won the night cap, 6 to 4,1 after a walk, two doubles and two Yankee errors resulted in a three-; run rally in the eighth. — — YESTERDAY'S HEROES Dib Williams.

CHAPTER XXXII Curtis invited Ruth and Rollo for the next Wednesday, a dinner at the St. Francis, and dancing ... the St. Francis . . . the place she had gone with Ruth and Bill. . . . For a moment she thought of in- ' venting an excuse, and not going. “But that's so cowardly,” she thought —“I’ll go —l’ll see it through—” Ruth was wildly elated. “This is • better ’n’ better. What I call luck. Usually when you get Somebody I with money enough to pay the bill they’re too old to dance without danger of dropping dead in their tracks, and too dyspeptic to eat anything but bran muffins and cami brie tea—ugh!” She laughed, and showed all her perfect white teeth. “Will we set ’em back something this night? I’ll ; say we will. What are you going to wear? The white velvet. Well, you look like a million in it No wonder, Francine’s best model. You’ve sure got the luck, living with Madame’s mother, in so strong you can’t get fired, and that good looking Barstow crazy about you. . . . We’ll all meet at the hotel. . . . I have to buy some new slippers. Did I tell you Rollo gave me six pairs of silk stockings yesterday? French chiffon, $6.50 a pair. . . . Say, don’t Curtis ever give you anything but flowers? Just drop him a hint once in a while . . . good night, you’re slow—” 1 Joan went home to dress. There was the taste of ashes, bitter ashes, in her mouth. • * •

Curtis blinked when he had his first sight of Ruth, waiting with Rollo in the lobby of the big hotel. She floated toward them, Rollo, sparkling with reflected glory, bringing up in the rear. A royal barge, trailing a slight, black dory. The fur coat that the late Gillespie had given her, the close fitting silver gown, shining with a faint blue light, the rhinestone head band, the eight or nine bracelets, she had them all on, every one. “Now that we’re all here—let’s eat!” Rollo suggested, forgetting that he wasn’t the host. He beamed at Joan through the thick glasses that lent vision to his t near-sighted eyes. “Looking beautiful as ever. In fac’—in fact—” Five whiskeys and sodas on an empty stomach had left him a little careful about consonants—“l don’t know when I’ve seen you more beautiful. Let’s drink the same toast we drank last time we all got drunk together—Beautiful women —Ow!—who kicked me?” “Nobody kicked you. You’re drunk!” Ruth cried angrily. “You do make me tired—always tanking up before the party starts—” * **d’d »>»«» Come to think of it, it was you. Recognize the rhinestones in your 11 heel—been kicked before—ha!” Curtis’ hand found Joan’s under the tablecloth. He covered it with his protectingly. “You mustn’t mind them,” that steady, kindly touch meant, “I’ll take care of you—” But Joan could not meet his gaze. , She knew why Ruth had kicked ; Rollo. Warning him to be quiet. |: Not to speak of Bill—"I was about to say, when I was i | stepped on,” Rollo continued with dignity, “that I would propose the same toast—the same toast—” f "The same toast that you did on , the night Bill and Ruth and you 1 I and I had dinner here together,” ] Joan said clearly. And all of a sudi den she felt better. Why shouldn’t ‘ . Curtis know about that? What was I ! wrong? And she wouldn’t share i secrets with Ruth. Ruth with her ’ diamond bracelets and fur coats .. . e “Exac'ly,” Rollo beamed. “Just what I was going to say. Now what was that toast—” i. Ruth leaned back in her chair s and looked at Joan long and search- | ingly, the thin, pencilled line of her brows faintly arched into a ques- ; tion—“Why—why—” Curtis was ordering the dinner, *’ an elaborate, carefully chosen dinner that impressed the waiter and ’ Ruth. He did not seem to hear, but “ when they left the table to dance he asked, “Who is Bill, Joanfc” “A school friend of mine . . . Rollo knows him too . . . that’s how Ruth met him . . . and I came here to dinner with them—” There—it was out. She’d told K him. They went on dancing. Joan

felt strangely light, like a balloon. Happy too. awfully happy. Except for the little heavy place in her heart, that would always hurt . . . always. . .. “When did you come here with them?” “One night—when you were in the North.” “I wouldn’t do it again. They’re not your kind, Joan. And let’s break this up as early as we decently can. I should have had more sense than to ask them. Fuzzy-head is too terrible. Gosh—l suppose I have to dance with it too—pity me!” They laughed. The music flowed over them, lifting them into its ' warm, pulsing cadence. The lights faded, turned amber and rosy and dim. The other dancers were shad- ' ows, only they were real again, : alone in a crowded room. “Love me?” he smiled.’ ’ “Sort of!” ’ He laughed again, gently, confi- ' dently. “Darn—the music’s stopped!” She was laughing too, happily, so 1 glad of Curtis’ love ... so glad . .. Maisie and Curtis ... so different, ■ so alike . . . both loving her, and she loving them.... ; In the dressing room, being 5 helped into their coats by a sleepy J maid, Ruth turned to Joan with a t curious expression in her round, t bright eyes. “Why—why in the ' devil did you have to drag in Will’- - um—or Bill—as you call him? Rollo did pull an awful boner but Curtis would never have noticed it if you hadn’t made it worse. Now you’re in for it—” “I don’t see why—”

Ruth was elaborately rouging her lips. She watched Joan from the mirror. “It’s no crime to go to dinner with you and Rollo and Bill, is it? It was nice of you to try to help, Ruth, but heavens—it doesn’t matter—” Ruth’s lipstick was held in mid air for a moment Then she dropped it into her vanity case, and sharplyclicked it shut. “Oh, all right,” she said, “if you feel that way about it.” * • • When the fourth telegram from home arrived, Rollo groaned and reached for the telephone. “Get me a lower on the Owl, will you? Yeh, tonight Pasadena. Well, a compartment, drawing room—l’m not fussy. Say, what’s the matter with the service? Oh, well—upper then, I gotta get out on that train—” He was going to call Western Union and send a wire too, but he remembered that the hotel stenographer had Irish eyes and a dimple, so he went downstairs and dictated it instead: “Emmett Keyes. 151 Mariana Drive, Pasadena Kill the fatted calf your darling boy is coming home stop Tell Bill to meet the Owl tomorrow morning. Rollo." “Send it collect,” he grinned, and tipped the girl a dollar. “Oh, Rollo, you pig, to go away and leave me!” Ruthie cried, when he stopped to say goodbye. “Don’t you think you can bear it?” “Don’t go—stay a while longer—” “Can't—broke— ’’ “Oh!” “Yep, I gotta go home and make ■ myself square with the old man. Good old man at that. You wait i till he meets you, Ruthie, he’ll pull i in his horns then.” ’ “If you don’t watch out, Martin will be squaring himself at your : expense.” i "I thought you liked Will’um. ‘ Don’t worry about him double- ■ crossing me, squarest kid that ever . lived. And say—to tell you the : truth I thought you were kind of r gone on him, Ruthie, I felt pretty sick over it for a while, it’s the ■ truth I did—” - “Silly!” ■ “No, honest. I thought you were.” She smiled, and leaning over, kissed him squarely on the mouth. , “Foolish boy!” Rut the bit of common sense that 1 old man Keyes had handed down t to his son, with which the boy’s flips pancy and laziness was threaded, kept Rollo from completely bSliev- . ing her, though his heart ached for ! 6er. “Yep. I'm foolish,” he agreed, e and kissed her back. “Falling for a lemon like you—i She laid soft hands on his slop-1 i ing sioulders. “Rollo, it's Joan'

It was very quiet, in his hig house, the servants had long since Bt<» gone to bed. Sometimes he <irows e( j a little, and once the cigar he had H been smoking fell out of his mouth Bi" and burned his hand. He got up heavily, and stirred the B 1 fire. Three o’clock, and Rollo not Hi'- 1 home yet. M He thought of himself at Rc'lo's age. The long days in the factory, H the nights he had sat at the dining room table, after Kate had cleared away the dishes, studying algebra Bl and grammar, things he hadn't had Be» the chance to learn at school. B Poor Kate ... it wasn’t much fun E for her. “I’ll make it up to her some day,” he had thought. “A silk H“ : dress, a sealskin coat, a stylish go. 1 " cart for the baby—” fl And then when the time came, K,
