making a fumbling pretense at
Strengthening the covers. Snatch
ing her hat and coat. the next
moment she was out in the glaring
corridor.
Blindly she made her way to the
deck. leaning against the wet rail
in the protecting darkness until her
breathless heart-throbs subsidized.
During the whole scene she had
not spoken-she realized that now.
Who was he? She could still see
him towering above her. the
wrathful glare in his steely eyes
changing to wonderment-then to
concern.
Even n the cooling mist her face
still burned. What must he think Of
her Though he mad realized her mis-
take. he would wonder at her care
lessness. II only she could get on
the boat in the morning without meet
ing him.
A deck steward was noisIly folding

III! That was why 217 had seemed
so familiar. AS she again went
through the white-paneled corridor her
mistake was clear. 217 was the FIRST
door on the second aisle-but on the
other side.
This time Helen turned on the light,
making quite sure that the rumpled
upheaval in the Upper berth was War
rem. before she proceeded TO undress.
Everything was exactly the same
as in the other stateroom. The chair
in the same place held a similar pile
Of Warren's carelessly flung clothes.
"Eh. what the deuce?" came a
sleepy growL Put out that lightI"
Obediently she turned or the switch.
"What'd you want TO stay on the
deck half the night for?" as he Hoped

OFFICERS OUTFITS
WILL COST MILLION
Vast Sum Required to Clothe and
Equip New Commanders.

| Student officers at Fort Myer, Guam
tico and American University, to the
number of nearly $500, who have been
! awarded commissions in the United
States army, will spend in the neigh
borhood of 81, ,000, 900 for uniforms and
personal equipment within the next
| few days.
Every officer has to purchase out
Of his salary his own personal equip
ment, such as three service uniforms,
insignia, field glasses and a sword.
In these times of high prices this
will cost on the average of $3.50 for
each candidate. Most of the men at
Fort Myer have been wearing the
type of comparatively cheap uniform
used by the private soldier.
Now they will be compelled to buy
three tailored uniforms Of olive drab
for field service and one uniform Of
serge for dress occasions. The
former will cost on the average of
800 apiece and the latter not less
than $40. Hats will cost them IS
apiece. They will each need two.
Leather puttees will cost $40 to SIS a
pair and they will need two pairs.
Shoes will cost SO and upwards, and
they will need a couple Of pairs.
Boots $40 Per Pair.
Officers in the artillery and cavalry
branches will require boots. and they
cost from SIS to $40 a pair. Two sets
of insignia will be needed by each
officer to save time in dressing and
these little trinkets will cost not less
than $40.
Mounted officers will spend as much
and Derhaps more on their feet than
milady spends on her bonnet. One
newly-made officer confided to the re-
ports that he had spent just $50 on his
''Trilbys" in the last two days.
Officers also have to pay about s1.25
a day for their mess, so the average
second lieutenant will not have a
great deal left out of his pay Of 1850

KRICHELL BANISHED
BUT AMERICANS GO
FRIGHT ON AND WIN

The Americans almost lost a game
in Lawrence yesterday though the
records of the official scorer show that
they defeated Lawrence 3 to 2. Man
ager Krichell's extreme displeasure at
a called strike, same being the third
and fatal one to Martin, was couched
in language equally dispensing to
Umpire Kelly. The Supreme Ruler on
the Ball Field stood about as much of
Krichells protestations as he thought
reasonable, and then banished the
manager of the Americans, besides
threatening to forfeit the game. The
dissension occurred in the early half
of the seventh, and the Americans
managed to curb their feelings sufd-
GENTLY to make it unnecessary for
the S. r. to enforce the extreme PEN
atty
! Bridgeport scored in the first inning
when Priest was hit by pitched ball,
stole second and crossed the plate on
| Gathers drive to left.
| The argument was cHnched for the
Americans in the fifth. Martin and
Krichell singled to center, the former
taking third. Lyons dropped bunt
down the first base line, and Martin
Squeezed his way home. Krichell took
| third on an out and counted when
! Priests grounder baffled Brannigan.

failed to keep UP the pace and lost
the next three games. The seventh
game went to Alexander and Throck-
morton, while their rivals took the
eighth, but Niles and Pell, although
they struggled hard, could only force
the next two games to deuce before
losing them and the match.
Team work was the deciding factor
in the other semi-final round match.
Wright and Johnson, after starting
badly and losing the first set, played
well together and won the second set
easily In the third set the brilliant
play of Strachan forced the set to
deuce four times before Wright and
johnson won it, and the fourth set
proved easy for the Boston team.
AS expected, Miss Molla Bjurstedt,
national champion, and Miss Mary K.
Browne former national champion,
won their semi final round matches
in the wornen's invitation singles.
Miss Bturstedt was not extended to
defeat Mrs e. b. Cole I'd at 81, GO,

RIVAL SPEED KINGS
TUNE up FOR RACE

New; York, Aug 1.-THE three rival
speed kingsvBarney Oldfeld,, Ralph
De Palma and Louis Chevrolet-put
their machines through their final
tuning-up practice yesterday over the
Sheepshead Bay Speedway track in
preparation for their match races to-
morrow. All three declared that they
were ready for the championship
tussle.
If the drivers burn up the track as
they did in their final workouts,
records may be smashed. Oldheld,
sitting in his Enclosed Golden Sub
marine scoted around the track for
a mile yesterday at the rate of 1872
miles an hour. De Palma also dis
played great turn Of speed, cover
ing a lap of two miles In 59K Sec
onds. Chevrolet used his emergency
car, and went around the. two-mile
track at, the. rate of 119 miles an
hour.
The daredevi1s will come together
in a series of races at so, 80 and 20
miles, an extra heat of 10 miles to be
added should there be tie. In ad-
dition to- the test of skill between
the renowned drivers, sOldfeld will
engage in an arth-and-air race OF
two miles with Miss Katherine yStin-
son, who will use: the aeroplane. in
which she flew from Buffalo to Wash
ington.
