faced son down here they could feel
that they were working toward a goal
and lay aside the handicap which
humans might put In their path.
Day after day Of labor and the in
d~entation upon the cave-in grew from
a matter of feet to n Of yards. A
week. Two. Then, as Harry swung
his pick, he lurched forward and went
to his knees. 'Tve gone through !" he
announced In happy surprise. 1--WE
gone through. We're at the end Of it,"
Up went Fairchild's carbide. Where
the pick still hung In the rocky mass,
a tiny hole showed, darker than the
surrounding refuse. There was joy
in Harry's voice as he made a mOmen-
tary survey.
"It's fairly dry behind there" he an
nounced. "Otherwise we'd have been
scrambling around In water up TO our
necks. We're lucky there, ANYHOW"
Again the attack and again the hole
widened. At last Harry Strengthened.
"We can 60 In now" came finally.
"Are you willing to so with meT"
"You mean-"
But Harry stopped him.
Lets don't talk about IL till we
ave to. Come on"
Silently they crawled through the
opening, the silt and fine rock rafting
about them as they did so, TO come
upon fairly dry earth on the other
side, and to start forward. Suddenly,
as they walked along, Harry took the
head, holding his lantern far ahead Of
him, with one big hand behind it, as
though for a reflector. Then, just as
suddenly, he turned.
Lets go out" came shortly.
"Why?"
Its there" In the light OF the
lantern, Harry's face was white, his
big lips llvid. Lets 60"
But Fairchild stopped him.

termination in his voice, "if it's there
we've got to face 1t. Don't you
think that certain people would make
an investigation If we should happen
to quit the mine nowT"
"The Rodaines
Exactly. And how much worse
would 1t be for them to tell the news
than for us !"
Nobody as to tell it" Harry was
staring at his carbide flare-"there's
a wye"
"But we can't take 1t, Harry. In
my fathers letter was the statement
that he made only one mistake-that
Of fear. I'm going to believe him
and In spite of what I find here, I'm
going to hold him innocent, and I'm
going to be fair and square and above

has taken only one game of seven
played with the Nationals.
Stanley Harris. who has been suf-
fering from a cold for more than a
week. yesterday developed a fever
and was ordered to bed by the club
physician. 1t was determined Harris
had a touch of ptomaine poisoning.
He will be out of the game for two or
three days. Bob La Motto will hold
forth at second base until Bucky re-
turns to service.
With Harris compelled to idle be-
cause of illness, Sam Rice is left as
the only performer on Milan's roster
who has participated in every game
played by the Nationals this season.

before returning August 13 to meet

Dave DnnfOrth, the highly touted
comeback, has been unable to finish
a game against the Griffmen this
season. He lasted three innings here
early in the season, travelled seven
rounds before being yanked in ST.
Louis last month and fingered for
just one round yesterday.
The; Browns seem to have the luck
essential to a pennant winner. The
score when rain necessitated hating

The storm yesterday was a most
inopportune thing, so far as Judges
personal record is concerned. After
Danforth's wildness filled the bases
with Griffmen in the opener Josephus
walloped a ball far over the clock on
the right field walI--four runs on one
hit! In the third Judge got another
hit, a single to left, but this and the
bingles obtained by La Motto, BUSH
and Shanks will not get into the

a very tight scrap, and the Yankees
thank Mr.. Bayne.
There is one very important detail
in which the Yankees hold very
strong advantage over the Browns
and that is the matter of reserves.
The Yankees have a fine lot of extra
hands, all ready to jump into the
breach, but the Browns have practi-
cally nobody.
The Browns generally are regarded
as being weak at third base. aThiS
