PATRIOTIC BAN CAUSES
SPLIT AMONG MAGNATES
By LOUIS A. DoUGHER.

Organised baseball is likely to be split
wide open as result Of Patriotic Ban
Johnson't suggestion that 2ss major
league ball players be exempted from
military service "to keep up the high
standard of the game" Magnates are
already taking sides. Several players
have repudiated Patriotic Bans sugges-
ton.
President John K. Tener. who has
been severely criticised by Patriotic
Ban In the past, has been quick to see
his opening. He has hammered the
American League boss numerically, and
the chances are that the two big leagues

INpooR SPo RU
By LOUIS A. poUGHER.

Today Washington enjoys its own
Army-NSvy game, the Camp Lee
eleven from Petersburg, Va, bat
Ting the League Island Marines at
American League Park. The pro-
eeds win be devoted to the athletic
funds Of both organizations, and the
outlook Is for a huge throng to be
on hand when the whistle sounds
sending the elevens into the fray.
With Secretary Daniels sitting on
the Navy side Of the field and Sec
retary Baker identified with the
Camp Lee cheering section, much Of
the old atmosphere surrounding the
contests between the West Point and
Naval Academies will be present.
Greatest interest Is being shown to-
day IN the appearance OF Eddie Ma
han IN the lineup OF the Marines At
Harvard MAhan made football his
tory to last for all time, his running
and kicking stamping him as one OF
the greatest players ever donning a
uniform
Mahan was employed by a railroad
IN Buffalo when his Uncle Sam de-
clared war on the Hun. he hesitated
only long enough to visit his home
in Natick, Mass, before enlisting In
the Marine Corps at Boston As
signed to League Island, Mahan i'm
mediately Joined the baseball team,
pitching the Marines to several vic
tories before football came along.
The former All-American performer
was elected captain Of the League
Island eleven and has been showing
all his old time form this season,
though handicapped by q weak leg.
He will start today at fullback for
the Marines.

and leaped upon Freneau. long hands
clutching his throat.
Gloria tried to cry out. She could
not make a sound. Subconsciously
her hands kept their grip on the binoc-
ulars and held them to her eyes that
she might see the whole Of the tragic
spectacle.
The struggle that ensued seemed i'm
possibly unreal. Surely she was In
some hideous nightmare. But the fight
went on. No policeman arrived to in
terfere. Then suddenly it was over.
She saw Freneau's limp body fall to
the ground, saw his enemy raise his
hands toward the sky and then hurry
away.
And still Gloria could not give vent
to her terror, she could only watch
helplessly. Now the first man she had
seen came back along the drive, saw
Freneau's body. knelt down quickly,
and listened to his heart. Gloria was
sure that he would help her lover.
She continued to gaze, though her
strength was ebbing away.
Instead of rendering aid, the shad.
owy figure began to ransack Freneau's
pockets. He found the envelope Of let
tiers and put them il Ills own pocket.
Then, startled by the approach of a
third NAN, he also vanished.
The third man came on openly.
Gloria felt sure that she would either
waken from her nightmare or that aid

control her Keeling senses.

pouring white glamour in her window.
The night nurse, sitting upright by her
bed, was sleeping soundly. She had
won Morpheus because she was spurn-
ing him instead of counting him.
Gloria determined to try the same
method herself
Doctor Royce, who seemed to think
of everything, had, during her illness,
made her present Of pair OF
binoculars. She had been able to
while away many tedious hours with
them watching the traffic on the drive
and boats on the river.
Now she slipped into negligee and
slippers quietly, not to disturb her
sleeping sentinel She took up the
binoculars and moved to the window.
The moon cast such a glow on the
river that she drew in deep breaths Of
delight The columns Of the monu-
ment stood in the foreground like
marble trees clustered about a. little
temple.
Suddenly her attention was caught
by the curious behavior of a man who
seemed tc be skulking about the monu-
ment. He had his hat pulled down
and his overcoat collar pulled up and
she could not see his face. He was
apparently waiting for someone. She
saw him take from his pocket some
thing that looked to her like re-
volver.e Gloria was greatly excited.
Before she could decide what to do
the 'skulker walked away. She saw
another man come around the column
and crouch down for a moment.
She put up the glasses to see more
clearly. The figure moved forward be-
meath q street lamp and Gloria could

turn, The Judge dashed off, leaving
the butler to shake his head over the
scandalouS proceedings OF his house
hold.
Gideon Trask, the bargemsn, had
infinite patience in pursuit OF his re-
yenge, but so far he had been unre-
warded. Unable to run down Freneau
elsewhere, ne picked on the Pierpont
Stafford home as the most likely and
also the most fitting place to accost
him. 1t was there that he had first
seen Freneau in New York. He
stood by the iron-barred gate, watch
ing, untn policeman drove him away.
Then he crossed Riverside drive to the
Soldiers and Sailors monument and
resumed a more distant watch over
the house.
Freneau was indeed there; he had
cene to bid Gloria good-by. He told
her he was leaving on q midnight
train.
Gloria was reclining on the chaise
Tongue, exquisitely att:red in an ivory
colored lace peignoir, the bands OF
white swansdown which trimmed 1t
no whittier than her own fair skin. Her
beautiful hair, drawn lightly into a
knot at the top Of her little head, made
her LOOK more like a child playing at
being grown-up than she had a right
to look with all her twenty-one years.
Freneau had paused moment at
the door when he entered to enjoy the
charm of her, then he crossed to her
side with all lovers eagerness. Her
eyes beamed on him with tenderness
as she welcomed him and gave him
her lips.
How much do you love me-" she
queried, measuring an infinitesimai
space with her tiny hands, that
much?" then, stretching her two arms
wide and purr;ng forth her musical
laugh-"or that much?"
Freneau came within the circle Of
her arms and, holding her to him, ex-
claimed: "The width of the whole
world is not big enough to measure
my love for you" And he meant it.
Releasing her tender1y to her pill
lows on the couch, he continued: 1--WE
had such wonderful day on the mar
ket, Gloria. cleared up q pile. By
Jove, 1t was thrilling. If can only
keep this up you won't have to be
ashamed Of your poor husband. And,
thank God, I shall have you to work
for. Just see what I've brought my
little mascot with the first spoils of
war;" He tossed leather case into
her lap.
Opening two shrjnelike doors, Gloria
gurgled in delight at the string of
pearls within. She made him clasp
them about her throat. Then she
leaned forward to thank him with q
kiss; she saw the corner Of large
sealed envelope in his inner pocket.
Whats this? More business, or
love letters?"
A dull mottled red began to surge
up Freneau's face She spoke SO. much
truer than she knew. It was the packet
Of letters he was taking to Lois. He
had pocketed them to make sure that
he should not leave them behind.
"Jnst business documents connected
with my trip" he said, as naturally as
he could. Gloria accepted the explana,
ton in perfect faith. 1t did not occur
to her to suspect him of any deceit.
