"Miss Thornton!" exclaimed Mr..

with a tentatively outstretched hano.

He desired nothing from these two

Al the way uptown, Mr.. Randolph's

This was one of the longest gains Of Hhe game as the contest was very tirht throughout. Gates long puntS were largely accountable for keeping Crosby out of Bridgeport territory.
