He had seen the Red Circle on her
hand He was crafty enough TO know
how fearful a hold over the girl this
secret gave him.
June could bear the suspense no

GREYSTOCK HAS BIG EDGE
IN EASTERN LEAGUE RACE

1t has been customary in past years
for two or more teams to tie for first
honors in the Eastern Basketball League
race, but there will be no extra games
to decide the championship this season.
The Greystock team will take care of
that. The pennant is Just as good as
planted in Cooper Hall There isn't n
chance for Reading nor any other club
to beat out the Christians Reading
did have n chance until Haggerty started
fouling against Greystock on Friday night
and Joe Fogarty turned the fouls into
points for Greystock. De Neri slipped
the Bears surprise package and now
the Pretzel City five is three full games
in the rear.
Three full games is n whole lot in five
more weeks OF basketball. Three full
games Is whole lot when 1t is taken
into consideration that the lead of the
Greys Is larger now than 1t has been for
two months. Greystock has II games to
play six abroad and five at home. Read
ing has nine games to play, five abroad
and four at home. If Reading won every
one of It's nine games--which isn't possi-
ble-Greystock would have TO win eight of
its IL games to make sure of the title.
