The grand stand went into the &c
stasies usual on such occasions, but
two girls turned white and bit their
lips, feeling as though some personal
affront had been offered them. Usu-
ally Thurston would have been stead

was not in usual form, and all be-
cause of these two girls. Therefore
to the dismay of the Black Flags, he
let Compton connect with an incurve
which he bunted, and the man on sec

plause from the Yellow Feet contin-

the Black Flags. The next man got

the Black Flags dearly
After this followed a series of blum

TWO GAMES PLAYED
Love and the National Pastime
Contest, but the Former

BY cRITT TRuEMAN.

Play balll" the umpire's voice rang
out. and two games were on. one be-
tween the Yellow Feet and the Black
Flags. and the other between Maisie
Laughlln and Bessie Houston. In the
first game a pennant was In question;
in the latter the happiness OF two.
II not three lives.
Ralph Thurston. the star twlrler Of
the Black Flags, was in the box, for
the Yellow Feet had the first hail,
and two pairs of eyes were fastened on
his flushed face. There were other
eyes. of course, but those belonging
20 the girls already mentioned alone
attracted him. He knew It was not
right that he should even know they
we're there. for a good player is blind,
deaf and dumb TO everything outside
the diamond, but then Thurston was
after all a man, and a rather young
one at that. and his heart was wav6r-
ing between the two. All summer
long Bessie had come out TO the home
grounds Of the Black Flags to root for
them, and her blue eyes followed ey-
cry play with experienced devotion. A
month before Maisie had 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
wealthy father. Bessie was a dear
little thing. who earned her own liv-
ing in department store. Before
Maisie had become a fan" Thurston
had made up his mind that Bessie
and he would sign up for 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
low grounder, and had his man out
without a strike. The next two were
easy, and the Yellow Feet were re-
tired in one, two, three order. The
Black Flags. however, failed to con-
meet with any of Compton's balls, and
he was congratulated by his team
as he. too, registered the same score.
This followed for three innings; not !
a strike was called on either side, al |
