SPORT NEW S

Beginning the post-series games
for the championship Of the East
ern Carolina League, Scotland
Neck-Hobgood plays today In
Greenville at 4:3C.
After futile effort to reach a
decision last night in Tarboro, the
directors Of the Scotland Neck
and Greenville clubs declared
Greenville winner Of the second
half Of the series, and the Green
vile and Scotland Neck managers
arranged the games for the deci-
sion Of the championship. The
first game goes to Greenville, the
second to Scotland Neck, the third
to Greenville, etc, until one club
has won four games.
The prospects look bright for
the local club in the final dash
for the pennant honors. With
Crumpler, johnson, Smith and
Finch on the mound, Gurley and
Dephew at the receiving end Of
the box, the local batteries should
hold the Greenville aggregation
almost scoreless. Minton, at first,
Wood, at second, Kuyk, at short,
and Pitt completing the infield
will make the diamond practically
air tight, with Leftwich, Petteway
and Legget in the field the local
nine will be practically complete.
Tho nothing official can be
learned, Crumpler will probably
pitch today's game with Gur1ey
receiving. johnson will probably
pitch Wednesdays game here,
tho manager Riddick has not yet
announced his batteries for that
day. Barnes will probably twirl
for the Greenville clug today.

of about five feet three, with twink
ling blue eyes which might appear
large IL her face weren't too roly-
poly and apple-cheeked
Wavy bronze gold hair and a
nose that is clear cut and beauti-
fully chiselled redeem her from the
look OF blowziness and commonness
her wide mouth, high color and over
developed figure might otherwise
give her. Her hands are a bit COM

counterbalanced, as l discovered
later by slim, high-arched feet. And
her wide mouth parted in a gener-

She wore a plain little blue wolfe

with a ribbon bow. / got a sensa-

''I'm so pleased to meet you

she concluded. grinning as she
poked a little fun at herself.
And just then. Tom Mason walked
In. I'd heard the bell vaguely on
the edges Of consciousness while
she was talking, and had felt sorry
that our visit must be cut short,
and still sorrier over the embarrass-

sure my visitors would feel Now

But before anyone could speak,
Tom burst our heartily:
GOOD Tor you, Donna Anna,

Nothing suits this young wild

his own motor boat and makes

anxiously for invitations to accom-

\ mand OF Julian that Ernesto and
Teodora be driven from the house
The sight OF the young man go
ing to the widow and placing a
brotherly arm about her shoulders
reused them to fury.
ORDERED TO LEAVE HOUSE
You heard what poor Julian or
dered." said Severe. This Is no
place for either OF you. Your Ppres-
ence defiles the house you have
brought to ruin! I command you to
leave my house"
AT least have pity on Teodora"
cried Ernesto. "She has no friends
no place to go"
Did she have pity on poor
Julian?" demanded Mercedes.
The two unhappy beings looked
at each other unable to protest
where protest was useless; Severe
advancing motioned toward the
door.
"Your way is there"
"Come. fedora" said Ernest
stung into action by this last crown
ing humiliation, "let us 60"
The old nurse made a move for
ward. Teodora stretched forth her
arms maria, Maria, will you come
with me?"
The aged woman hesitated, and
with a shaking voice asked, Tell
me. Carissima. are you entirely in
nocent?"
Teodora turned away while Maria
fell 10 her knees sobbing and,
watched by the unrentlenting eyes
of Severe and his wife, the young
man and the young widow went
forth into the world that so
maligned them.
where can we go?" asked the
woman.
where can we go" echoed the
man.
FIND EACH OTHER
And they wandered on past the
Cafe Granada, past the idle faces
that leered from the windows won
dering what this promenade might
mean.
And in the persons Of the cafe
habitues, the world and his wife
commented with unsparing harsh
ness on this brazen sight Of the
wife of a dying man walking openly
with her lover.
Past the cafe, through the city
into the open fields toward a little
hill on which stood the crucifix
WneTe once tney viewed the setting
sun and when all the world was
fair and full of hope and happiness
To them both the figure on the
cross brought calm; here was one
who saw deep into the hearts of
men and women; he would know
sitting high in His heavenly king
dom that they were innocent.
Weary. they sat down at the foot
of the cross to pray, to open their
hearts to the Saviour of Mankind
to find peace in the thought that in
his eyes they had no need to ask
forgiveness
Peace came to their wounded
spirits and the, woman raising clear
eyes to the man~said softly: I'VE
are poor. Ernesto. we have lost
everything"
mo. Teodora, we are rich. we
have found each other" and folding
her in his arms, saw in her eyes
the affection that was to bind them
together in a sweet companionship.
THE world and his wife can hurt
US no more" said Ernesto as they
started of hand in hand into the
unknown.

along.
The pilot of the head locomotive
struck the tot a glancing blow and
she fell face downward between the

WHAT TO CHOOSE
Teach your boys how honestly and
without partisan bias to study the
character and personality of the
candidates for President and other
high office.
Boys will turn instinctively to a
man who has demonstrated a per-
sonal interest in their affairs. II he
has played the game" honestly
himself in his own time of youth.
IL he knows how to root for the
home team, all that is to them an
indication OF the healthy, normal
mind of the man
SIZE UP MEN.
Next. help your boy to study the
candidate as to his personal atti-
tude toward common honesty in
business and as to his proved
sympathy for the great industrial
element of society. Has he ac-
quired his own wealth through
worthy business practices? Has he
always dealt fair and square With
the great common citizenship as he
has met it in its daily routine? 1t
is pleasing to observe the keenness
of the young scout In his analysis
of the character of a man. once the
facts are available.
