POOR AT CHICAGO
Connolly Pulls Bone in Waving to Cop, While McGreeveys

By SENATOR"

CHICAGO, Ill, Aug. 26.-Though the
Griffmen have fought the unjust decis-
, ions Of umpires all season long, not till
yesterday did one Of these official guess
ers call upon a uniformed policeman for
assistance. Technical Tommy Con-
molly, enraged at the lengthy and vehe-
ment protest being put up by Manager
Griffith against McGreevey's poor work.
excitedly called upon a Chicago police
man to remove the fighting leader Of
the Climbers. A policeman, standing be-
side the visiting teams dugout, saw
Connolly waving for him to come upon
the field, and he made five or six steps
toward the bunch of players, each Of
whom was trying to do all the talking.
Then something whispered to him to
quit, and he quit. Manager Griffith aid
ed Connolly In calling upon the police
man, but the latter refused to go upon
the field, resuming his place Of honor
beside the Griffmen's bench.
When the excitement died down
George Mcbride was banished from the
game for disputing McGreevey, and
Manager Griffith was made to sit in re-
tirement on the bench and not allowed
to coach his team. Ray Morgan slid
over to shortfield. and assumed the cap
taincy of the team, Laporte going to
second. But the chance Of victory had
blown by that time. Mcbride may draw
a suspension for his argument with Nc
Greevey, but Griffith win probably es-
cape everything but call down at the
hands Of Ban Johnson, who fondly
thinks his umpires are perfect
Policemen have no right to go upon
a ball field unless they see a riot, and
are obliged to stop. When players
are merely arguing, they have no au-

property. All the umpires in the league
may unite in calling for police assist

on the disputing player can be sued for

part Of Connolly, and may bring him q

to ask her father when the young man
was leaving town. Yet she did not al
low herself to do this, but, with a hasty
glance at her watch, hurried of to
school.
Six o'clock that evening, as she sat
in her room studying, the maid tapped
at her door.
IF you please. Miss Mary" she an
nounced. there's a gentleman on the
telephone asking for you"
VERY WELL" was the hasty response.
Mary knew at once by intuition who
the speaker at the other end of the wire
would be. She was not mistaken. 1t
was Gordon Craig, and he wanted to
know II he might not run up this even
ing tust-''to tell you all good-bye," as
he said.

Again, as when he had asked her to
accompany him to the theater Mary
felt her determination wavering, but,
remembering her former weakness, she
brought all her will power to bear upon
her reply.

Her words sounded cold and abrupt.
she thought She did not appreciate
that her voice trembled slightly and that
it held a wistful note that made 1t very
sweet and not altogether depressing to
the listener. Perhaps this fact gave him
courage to say appealingly:

you long"

CHAPTER ".

TINE morning following Gordon
Craigs call Mary awoke with
pleasant sense Of anticipation.
For a moment she gazed about her
sunny room trying to think what agree
able thing was ahead OF her. She re
membered only too well the work she
had laid out for herself to accomplish
within the next few days. but that
was certainly not what gave her a SEN
sation of Joy.
Suddenly she recalled last evenings
experiences and the promise that she
made to go to the theater with Craig
when he should return from Boston.
She felt again the pressure of his hand
as he babe her good night. The world
seemed a brighter place for the mem
Dry She appreciated that here in this
busy city, the Texan was still so near
that she might summon him by tele-
phone. That seemed a pleasant fact,
too
These thoughts occupied her mind
as she dressed. When she was putting
/ the last touches to her toilet, she met
! her own gaze in her mirror and was

/ brought herself up sharply with feel

world!
Still, he is an unusually nice chap"

soothed somewhat her wounded dignity,
| for she felt that she had fallen beneath
her usual standard Of wisdom in blush
ing and looking happy over the pos
/ sibility of spending another evening in
this Westerner's company.
He probably talks to all girls just
as he talked TO me- and looks at them
all in that way. too" she mused Il

nothings that make fools Of women and
they forget as soon as they are spoken.

to be silly over any man until she
knows that he loves her better than he
loves anything else on earth. And I'm
going TO stop thinking of him"
With which laudable determination
she Joined her family at the breakfast
table
The best way TO Danish a subject
from ones mind is to place another in
its place. Mary recognized this fact
and applied herself to her work with
zeal and zest that precluded other
considerations. Her mother remarked
this with gentle protest on a morning
late in the week as Mary was starting
for school.
Dear child" she said. you are look
ing worn out Must you study so
! hard?''
Commencement Day is not many
weeks off. Mary reminded her, "and I

beans and corn for fodder because his
wife said the land mustn't be plowed
up-Genevieve and Anna were look
ing spindling and needed the space for

on for cream and butter But It was no

"Theophilus couldn't have had any
more cream on his breakfast food than
he had had in town. He could afford
to buy It, OF course, but cream is one
thing you never have courage to be
extravagant with unless you raise it

If Theophilus Evers was brute enough to
do that she'd feel like getting a divorce.
SO they bought their bacon and ham
from the butcher as usual, and Howard
and William waNed fat in laziness and
comfort.
Mrs. Theophilus rarely allowed the
horses to be used. She said il was
too hot or too cold or that they looked
pale or had the hiccoughs and must
wear red flannel around their necks.
When Theophilus got an automobile to
circumvent her IT was just as bad be
