Howard, wake up! confound you.
You've got to get out-there's some
body coming"
He shook him roughly, but his old
classmate made no attempt to move.
Quick, do you hear!" exclaimed
Underwood impatiently. Wake up
some ones coming"
Howard sleepily half opened his
eyes. He had forgotten entirely
where he was and believed he was
on the train, for he answered.:
Sure, I'm sleepy. Say-porter,
make up my bed"
His patience exhausted, Underwood
was about to pull him from the sofa
by force. when there was a ring at
the front door.
Bending quickly over his compan
ion, Underwood saw that he was fast
asleep. There was no time to awaken
him and get him out of the way, So
quickly, he took big screen and ar
ranged it around the divan so that
Howard could not be seen. Then he
hurried to the front door and
opened it.
Alicia entered.

CHAPTER VII.

For few moments Underwood was
too much overcome by emotion to
speak. Alicia brushed by in naughty
silence, not deigning to look at him.
All he heard was the soft rustic of
her clinging silk gown as it swept
along the floor. She was incensed
with him. OF course, but she had
come. That was all he asked. She
had come in time to save him. He
would talk to her and explain every
thing and she would understand.
She would help him in this crisis as
she had in the past. Their long
friendship, all these years of intimacy,
could not end like this. There was
still hope for him. The situation was
not as desperate as he feared. He
might yet avert the shameful end OF
the suicide. Advancing toward her,
he said in hoarse whisper:
"Oh, this is good of you, you've
come-this is the answer to my let.

GALLAUDET SQUAD
LOSE TWO STARS
Varsity ShOrtstOps Unable to
Play Owing to Injuries.

The Gallaudet College baseball prospects
received a setback yesterday when II
was announced that Winfield Roller and
John Jacobson, two promising candidates
for varsity shortstOp, are out OF the
game temporarily. Roller is suffering
with swelling from an old injury on
the left arm, received in the Mount st.
Joscph's College basketball game of Feb
ruary IS, at the Kendall Green gymna-
stum, and has positive orders from the
attending surgeon not TO play baseball
for two weeks. Jacobson cannot play
with any outside team until he goes
above the funk mark before the next
faculty meeting at the East Side college
in the latter part of thiS month. The loss
of these promising candidates is giving
Capt. Battiste hard puzzle to solve for
temporary shOrtstop.
The Gallaudet College Reserves have
chosen Frederick Hughes, 'l3, as their
captain. and the selection has met with
the hearty approval of the Kendall Green
adherents. Hughes has had previous dia-
mOnd experience, and will play at the
keystone sack temporarily.
Assistant Manager Patterson is putting
the finishing touches on his schedule for
the Gallaudet Reserves. The schedule
includes games with Georgetown Univer-
sity Reserves (twO games), the United

tory School, Georgetown Preparatory

EXTENSIVE CHANGES
AT NATIONAL PARK

have been attempted since the removal
of the ball park from the old field
to the present one is now under way.

is in charge of the remodeling, and
needless to say. the work will be done
in first-class style.
At the northeastern end Of the left
field a pavilion is to be built, to hold
500 fans. and under this will be a
driveway for automobiles. There will
be over a half dozen entrances on the
west side. Two will be for grand
stand patrons. three for the pavilion
lovers, and the old one for the bleach
critics. This is big improvement
over the old plan. and the manage
mcnt is TO be thanked for looking af-
ter the welfare of the fans.
Very little will be done with the
field. except filing up the outfield to
a certain extent and rolling the in

ment of all is the running out of the

Atlanta, Ga, March 1S.-There is now

pitcher, after a discussion lasting more
than two hours this afternoon, refused

not play in Washington unless he is paid
what he considers his services worth.
President Noyes said: I do not con-

with the club is one of salary, which I

The players ran into a sizzling hot day,

the hitting wasn't extensive on either

While Johnson is holding out for more
money, Bob Groom. Doc Gessler, Tom
Hughes. and Clyde Milan all came to
terms with the club and affixed their
signatures to 1911 contracts.
Bob Groom's difference was one of sal

that his arm felt good.

President Tom Noyes watched the game

pressed surprise At the condition of the
men, and, like McAleer, voted Atlanta
an ideal place in which to train.
Andrew Keefe, the young outfield re-
cruit recommended by Bill Bradley, will
likely be farmed out to one of the minor
league clubs before the Nationals return
to Washington. Keefe has the ear

Charley Conway put up a rattling good
game at Second base. and Doc Ralston at
third looked as if he had played the bag
all his life.
Keefe got into the game when Corbin
retired. The youngster did not have 4
chance to show what he could do.
It's a cinch that Dolly Gray will be
ready to take his turn in the box when
the season opens.
