then Thurston went into the box Tor
the first Of the fourth inning. AS he
ran down field he caught sight OF NAL
sizes waving handkerchief, and imnie-
diately the old problem confronted
him. It unsteadied his arm so that
when the catcher signaled for an out
curve he sent over a straight one.
The man at bat found this soft, and
he sent it soaring down past center,
easily reaching second before the bali
was captured.
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
led by such a mishap, but today he
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 hunted, and the man on Sec
ond made third amid thunderous APP
plause from the Yellow Feet contin-
gent and Kisses from those espouslng
the Black Flags The next man got
his base on balls, and the Yellow Feet
scored. although Thurston managed
to hold them down to that. Malsie
flashed Ralph glance of scorn as he
passed on his way to the bench, SO
that he failed to see how Bessie
looked, and huddled down in his coat,
refusing to reply to any remarks
hurled at him by his indignant fellow
players. In the next half the Black
Flags scored, and would have made
home run, if Thurston had not allowed
himself to be caught between second
and third. Once more his blunder cost
the Black Flags dearly
After this followed q series OF blum
ders by him that made the captain and
manager rave. If the other two pitch
ers on whom they could depend had
not been laid up, Thurston would have
been taken from the box. AS 1t was,
they had TO content themselves with
addressing unkind remarks to him,
and threatening him with dire results
If he did not buck up and show some
ginger.
All the while the real cause of this
disturbance lay in his pocket. 1t con-
sisted of two notes, one signed Maisie,
the other Bessie. Each girl invited
him to spend the evening in her CON-
pany. Maisie had added in her note,

"Plav BALL" the umpire's voice rang
ont. and two games were on, one De-
tween the Yellow Feet and the Black
Flags. and the other between Malsle
1,anphlin and Bessie Houston. IN the
first game a pennant was in question;
in the latter the happiness OF tWo'
if not three lives.
Ralph Thurston, the star twirler OF
the Black Flags, was in the box, Tor
the Yellow Feet had the first half,
and two pairs of eyes were fastened Oh
bis flushed face. There were other
ewes. of course, but those belonging
tn 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 rather young
one at that, and his heart was waver-
ing between the two. All summer
long Bessie had come out to the home
grounds OF the Black Flags to root fo'
them. and her blue eyes followed ev-
erv play with experienced devotion. =
month before Maisie had become &C
ouainted with her, and of course with
the Black Flags, and then the game
was on between the girls. Maisie was
dashing, stylish and was backed by Q
wealthy father Bessie was dear
little thing, who earned her own liv-
ing in a department store. Before
Maisie had become fan" Thurston
had made up his mind that Bessie
and he would sign up for life game,
but since then, ne did not know. Tho
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
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
