Before the season was embalmed in
the Official Baseball Guide, Iris Ford
exhibited the first signs of age. Long,
lean, and immobile, never batting an
eye in the most trying situations, he
had been wont to follow the game
from the dugout. A fiction there was
that he signaled with his score card !;
but otherwise he was as impassive as
the copper head on penny-until the
homestretch Of this nerve-breaking
season. Then, as the scribes put it,
he began to act like an ordinary, flesh
and-blood human being. He moved
uneasily upon the bench. sometimes
signaled brazenly to player, and was
occasionally known to give vent to
disappointment or disgust by actually
Shaping his knee in public. He was
not the same iris Ford-not by an
obstreperous nervous system.
But who, save block Of ignum-
vitae. wouldn't have allowed his deep
concern to be occasionally seen? From
the middle Of August, when the West
ern clubs made their last Journey
east, the Giant-klllers were scheduled,
week after week, to "blow"-that is,
to drop back in the race. This disas-
ter threatened many times. Once the
team was two full games behind the
Red Sox, then leaders; but lowly
Washington surprised the president,
the vice president, senators and con-
gressmen by beating the "Speed Boys"
four straight, and thus taking second
place. Collaterally, the senators helped

"Where you been?" growled John
Benn, son of the clubs president.

"What the devil you been doing?"
"Fishing."
"Fishing-this time of year?"
"Didn't catch nothing"
"You'll catch something when iris
sets eyes on YOU"
"Mebbe."
Barney took the most comfortable
chair in the room, bit off generous
chew of tobacco, then picked up last
nights pink extra, and began labori-
ously to spell out the "Flashes from
the. Diamond"
Elsewhere Ernest Steadman was ex-
planning to his mentor, James Winton
Shute. 1t appeared that Barney had
developed robust thirst, which would
not be denied. Lacking confidence in
the Jail as haven, the! worried keeper,
drawing heavily on his meager ina
gination. had faxed the story of mar
| velous trout pond up state. In the
crisis he conjured up such a remarka-
BILE picture of the pond, which was
''lousy with trout" as he expressed it,
that Barney was seized with sudden
determination to go thither.
II tried to make him wait until the
pennant was cinched,' explained
Steadman, ''but he said he always
pitched better ball on bellyful of
trout. Thought l planned it to get
back in time for Yesterdays game"
But l thought this was phony

1T was-the one told Barney

"Why didn't you get back?" demand

Because Barney wouldn't come un!
til he had one bite-kept putting of

beauty rises to my fly None riz."
"You must have picked a f1netpond,' .
said Shute. Z
Il did. They's an intake there from
cam-a-bear cheese factory and it's
killed all the fish,"
When Win shute talked with iris
Ford over the telephone about the dis
appearance, temperance and "fool ex-
planation," Iris replied:
"Well, we've won the pennant, and
they're here. What we got to figure
on now is SOS 1t won't happen again.
Want to talk over the world series
with you."
There was an entirely new element
in the approaching blue-ribbon event.
OF course the Giant-killers to man
wanted to win. It meant perhaps fif-
teen hundred dollars more money in
each players jeans. 1t meant, also,
to continue to be known and pointed
out as world champions. And the club
owners were out to win-keen to win.
First and foremost for the glory of it.
Then for the prestige it would give
the Giant-killers all over the league
circuit-rather. which they would con-
tinue to enjoy another season. There
was third reason, very important
reason.
Not once before In the thirty five
years Of the clubs existence had the
Phillies won a pennant. Yet within
ten years pennant winning had be-
come something Of habit with the
Giant-killers. Naturally, therefore,
they had the call on the patronage

In an adjoining room Dave Eden
heard that laugh, and it stirred some

connected it with Irene Hardy. The
truth was Irene Hardy had been in
