RUTH'S HOMER AIDS AMERICAN LEAGUE TO WIN Babe’s Hitting, Spectacular Catch Feature AllStar Game Thursday Uhicago. July (U.R) — Babe Ruth is strolling down the last lap of baseball’s highway as a player. One more year, maybe two —but that's another story. Just for a day the bambino was once more the game's greatest showman and most spectacular player as he led the American league All-stars to a 4-2 triumph over the National league team in the inter-league game yesterday at Comiskey park before a throng of i 49.000. His spindle legs are growing I delicate, fat bulges over his gro-* tesque midrift and his 39 years l hang heavy on his giant frame, j but his eyes, his mighty cut at the | hall and his flair for coming; through in a pinch—money player,! they call ’em continue to function as well as they did when he 1 was the most feared slugger in all j baseball. I They struck him out yesterday I twice —Bill Hallahan in the first in-j ning, and Lon Warneke in the sixth. But just one swing of his big bat I blasted the National leaguers to '■ defeat —the same bludgeon that has. played havoc with them so many: times in the world series. With the American leading, 1-0. in the third inning. Ruth came up to face Hallahan. 1 the Cardinals' southpaw who three s times in four games has beaten | American league champions in the! world series. Charley Gehringer.j Detroit second baseman. had walk-. ed. Hallahan threw two balls to the Babe. The next one came zipping in waist high, and Ruth cocked. swung with all his 210 pounds, caught it squarely. It was a horn- i i er. That punch meant two runs, the two runs by which the American, league proved its superiority over, the National league. Ruth's homer wasn’t his only: feat. He hit a single in the fifth ' off Warneke. He backed against! the right field wall and pulled i down a long fly from Chick Hafey’s i bat which might have sent the, game into extra innings. He made ; a futile attempt to race across the I field and catch Warneke’s high fly along the foul line, which half' the outfielders in either league j would have gobbled up in their

CHAPTER XLIII Maisie went grumbling away. Not ; for worlds would she let Jpan know she was worried . . . terribly worried ... Joan. Surely Joan wouldnt do anything wrong . . . ,t , co rf". be that . . . and she didnt drinkThere was no stale smell of gin in the room . . . Maisie shuddered. , She remembered that smell . . . , Fanny ... , "I guess I’ve had my share of trouble,’’ she told the coffee pot, “Oh well ... I only hope every- , thin’s all right with Joan. I don t like it . . .” “You’d better phnne Fanny,” she eaid, still in the brusque, scolding tone she used to cover her emotion, “an’ tell her I overslep’, and you re Ifoing to be good and late. 1 anny s never anywhere on time herself but 1 know how she is if anybody else is late.” “Yes,” Joan said docilely. She looked more natural now that •he was bathed and dressed for the day. And certainly she had not been (frying. That was one good sign. Or Maisie thought it was until she remembered that she had never cried in the old days, when she was eating her heart out for that scoundrel Bill. ... „ „ . “You’d better call her now, Maiaie repeated severely. “All right.” But it was Curtis’s number she called when Maisie had gone bustling down the back stairs to complain about the garbage can again. “The rent I pay for this place, an' the service I get... worse n’ a tenement in Tar Flat. Let me catch that man an ’l’ll give him a piece of my mind that’ll—” Maisie’s voice rumbling down the •fairs, and at the telephone. Joan's •mall and timid, like a child’s—- “ Curtis, this is Joan. I’m sorry if I disturbed you . . I just remembered that it is the Cunningham’s dinner dance tonight Could you tell them I’m ill, please, Curtis? . .. Oh no, no—please don’t ask me—l couldn't face them —I couldn’t . . . All right, if you think it is best... Yes, I’ll manage, somehow.” So she had to go, because people would think it queer if she didn’t. She’d have to go, and dance and smile, and laugh and talk to Curtis, as if nothing had happened . . . because . . . because he hadn’t made up his mind. “Oh. make him decide soon . . . make him .. . make him . It was her little prayer, that she repeated under her breath all the long day. “I can't go—l can’t— l can’t.” But she knew she could. “I can do anything,” she thought with a strange, detached admiration of her own calm. “I even danced with Bill without screaming .. . and if I can do that... I can do anything.” • • • The orchestra was playing when they came in, Joan and Curtis together, for the last time, surely for the last time ... he wouldn’t expect her to do it again ... Lights, laughter, music. “Hello, Joan!” “Hello Curtis!”—“Joan, the next dance with me!” The same words, the same people, the' same motions. , . . One part of her was •live to them, one part of her smiled, and answered them, ate squab and little green peas . . . and one part was dead . . . not seeing, nor hearing, nor feeling . . . dead, dead ... “Curtis is off his oats tonight,” Eugenia said. Mollie Davis looked and laughed. “No, that’s just his regular face. Wooden, I call him. I never could see what you saw in him myself—” “I like that! He was never anything in my life—just a family friend—” “Look at him mooning at the Hastings girl. If you ask me she carries that Lily Maid of Astolat stuff too far. She looks like something washed up by the tide—” “Mollie!'’ “Well, she does. Did you ever see anything the way he keeps looking at her! He hasn’t taken his eyes off her once all evening.” Mollie was right, he hadn't. He couldn’t. When he took her hand to dance with her it burned him coldly, like ice. He was repelled and attracted and torn a dozen ways at once. He saw her white beauty, clear and clean and virginal. Her pathetic childish lips, scarlet in the white of her face. Her deep gray-green eyes, the color of troubled waters, half hidden by the long golden lashes, just deeper than the gold of her hair. Her dear, curly hair that glinted like a halo, a halo ■f goodness. . ..

Cunningham, he brought her her coat. “For heavens sake, let us get out of here,” he said. * » « Lyla Barstow set down her teacup with a little tinkling sound. "But he must have said something,” she said. “It isn’t like Curtis to go off without a word!” “No, he didn't. I didn't see him at all,” Joan repeated dully. She had been repeating it for half an hour, but still the inquisition went on. “Yes, but he wouldn’t have gone all the way to Seattle to finish that case alone. Mr. Kennedy himself said it wasn’t necessary. He didn't know’ why Curtis went, and I’m sure 1 can’t understand it. Why should he get on the train so suddenly, and take that long miserable trip when a few telegrams, or even a telephone conversation would have done as well?” don’t know, Mrs. Barstow’.” Nonsense—of course, you know. He wouldn’t have gone off that way without some reason. You are sure you didn’t quarrel, Joan?” “No, we didn’t quarrel.” Not that there would be any excuse for quarreling with Curtis. There never was anyone so easy to get along with as he. Joan. I don’t want to hurt you, but have you understood Curtis? He hasn’t been himself since—since this engagement. My dear, do you think youwil make him happy? Wouldn't it be better—” Joan just twisted her handkerchief in her hands. “You see what I mean. If you can't get along, surely it is belter to admit it now. Much as I’d hate to see it broken off—”

Curtis had no intention of callitt at Baker’s. As Kennedy said, th work there was finished. He simp! went because he had to go son* where, and it was the first plat that occurred to him.
