slash toward right field. That
blow was good for a base, or two
or perhaps three, but by some
miraculous effort. Kelly extended
his arm and made a great stop.
Even then, it did not seem hu-
manly possible to do what he
did, but he did it. His throw to
Snyder was perfect, and Joe
Dugan, a fast runner, was cut
down at the plate.
This was a fluke play, I repeat.
1t was wonderful and it must be
admired. but how often are these
stops made? If the ball had rolled
three feet away, Dugan would have
scored while Kelly was retrieving
the ball. Ruth probably would have
been safe at first base, also.
Some fans and critics are inclined
TO censure Witt for his play in CO.
ing down to second base in the
and probably, if witt had made the
bag, his enterprise would have been
praised and lauded.
That rs the application of the sec
Ond guess. Where that play went
wrong was when Schang went too
far on it and then gave up the ghost
too readily. A seconds more delay
and Witt would have made the bag
with ease.
But those things happen, and we
will drive right ahead with renewed
determination to win the series.
We have established the fact that
we can hit the pitching of the
Giants. We made those pitchers
pitch to us, and, as a result, nude
enough hits to win.
If we go right on hitting the ball
the way we hit it yesterday, we will
win. 1t just isn't in theAcards fer
a team making a dozen hits to be
beaten by Il club that gets fewer
hits. 1t won't be in the cards,
either. We will keep it out.
HOyt started in fine style but
something happened to him. don't
want to take anything away from
any one, but I'll say that both
Bancroft and Frisch had excep-
tiOnaI luck in getting their drives
home. Probably had WaIIie PjpD
been sound in his UNDERMINING
he might have smOthered those
blows. Neither one was ms hard
hit as that Of the Babes, but
they got by, and our hit didn't.
Joe Bush pitched great ball He
used his head from start to finish,
and mixed a combination of fork
balls and change of pace that was
effectiveA He had a tough break
with Steitgel. The count was three
and two When Stengel tagged a fast
ball for 81; clean homer as ever
was hit.

He is not that kind. Jack is the kind of man who would snap his fingers al the public and tell them to go to. But this is serious.

 T wonder. my dear. if you realize how terribly compromising that is. Deliver me always from the man who. strong in his own virtue. writes 10 the friend just what is in his heart.

Stays, corsets or any clothing which by compression tends to draw, push downward or displace the organs of the abdomen, aids in producing com ditions favorable to hemorrhoids This may be avoided by wearing garments suspended from the shoulders. It leaves the waistline largely unconfn- ed and the body free, as nature in- tended. Muscles or organs unconfined or released from compression will soon reassert themselves and natural health will result.
 A large percentage of women stand in an incorrect posture. If mothers were properly educated in such mat ters, they could aid their children in assuming correct posture, bringing 10 development a normal chest, na- tural waistline and strong, self sustaining abdominal muscles.
 This would prevent to great ex- tent the unnatural position of such organs as the stomach. intestines, kidneys and liver, which for time un- told have been deranged and pushed out Of true position by waistline pres sure. In fact, the condition in which many women in middle life find them selves, on account of this tenterop- tosisl, brings about displacement of the abdominal organs and causes headache, dizziness. backache, bilious ness constipation and irregularity in defection, often the primary cause of plies.

 This made Mrs Cookie feel very nervous and as Raggedy Andy saw i, she hurried took cookie chicken from the oven and handed it to the Snitznoodie.

insure good blending of fine and coarse foods. Don't eat the same kind of food every morning for break fast.
 One of the best prevention habits, if you are subject to attacks of piles and varicose hemorrhoidal veins, is careful toilet of the perineal region. Cleanliness will accomplish wonders.
 Don't eat everything you can think of and expect your digestive tract to scquiesce cheerfully. Taking frequent physics to aid in preventing piles is bad practice. Few realize that the digestive apparatus is under a sensi- tive nervous control and does not tolerate unphysiologic treatment.

l bit my lips to keep back nasty retort. and hoped that Harriet did not see the flush upon my cheek. I knew that she had disapproved of my management of Katie upon her previous visits, believing that l allowed the girl too many privileges, but I resented the implied criticism of my faithful little maid, even though I realized the absurdity of permitting so silly a thing to mar the friendship between my stately sister-in-law and myself, which had been so markedly augmented in the last few days. I was relieved indeed when I heard Dicky's key in the icck. There would be no opportunity now for Harriet to guess that she had offended me.

Madge Decides to Accompany
 Harriet

Hearing Harriet's wistful wish that I go with her to the farm was to me like discovering a gate out of 8 walled inclosure which appeared tC have no exit. Dicky and 1 were al cross purposes, and while l acknowl- edged that I had misjudged his atti- tude toward Alfred's interest in Bess Dean I could not forget the yet un- explained midnight accident which had left a woman's handkerchief and neck scarf as bandages around his head, nor the unusual and myster- ious interest in Mollie Fawcett which he had displayed. Until we were on 4 better plane of understanding our daily life together, cooped up in the sordid little apartment, had explo- sives concealed in every corner. My absence might not help things, but at least it would give me time to draw my mental breath, something which l felt l had omitted for many days. There was also a malicious little consciousness in the back of my brain that 1t might be salutary for Dicky to miss the many comfort able details of housekeeping which only a woman in a house can give.
 I made my decision quickly, and turned to my sister-in-law with it.
 But I AM going to be down there with you," I said smiling.
 Harries Relieved
 "Oh !' the little exclamation was filled with grateful relief. Then, with quick apprehension. but you are not going just for me. are you? Ought you not to be here-Dicky- Mrs. Durkee-----" her voice died away under the quizzivaI smile I gave her.
 You know how much Edwin wants visitors for Mrs, Durkee this like to have somebody in her room twenty-four hours day, and if l am in the city she will send for me fre- quently. But Alfred and Leila are enough. By tomorrow morning we ought to know pretty definitely whether or not she is out of dam ger?" I paused and looked at her inquiringly.
 "Of course there is always dan ger" she replied with the caution demanded by any one of surgeons entourage, but this sort of thing does not entail the shock of an in- ternal operation. If Edwin says she is in god shape tomorrow morning, you can so with a fairly clear con- science"
 Suppose we wait until tho after noon train tomorrow" I suggested. "That win give me time to see Mrs. Durkee, if Edwin will let me, and I think he will I'll telephone Mother in the morning that we're coming, and we'll be out there in time to eat the fatted fowl that she will order sacrificed as soon as she hears we're on the way"
 Katie Under Discussion
 The afternon train will suit me perfectly" Harriet returned. but" with a little smile, do you think it wise 10 telephone Mother? You're likely to have Katie on the way to the hospital or the undertaken by the time we get there"
 T know" l returned, but Mother never would forgive me if I didn't telephone in time for them to pre- pare a special dinner for us. As for the house, 1t is all in readiness for you. She had her housecleaning spasm when she first heard of your coming. So think Katie will be in- tact when we reach there"
