He came out licking his lips nervous

entrance. His eyes. shifting from the

catch the light first. I'll call 1t sun-up
when the sun looks oveh the mesa"
Plimsoll buRed his teeth in fox
grin. Sandy stood with his hands by
his sides, covering him with his eyes.
Plimsoll looked at the hands that he
knew could move swifter than he could
follow, he looked at the car with Keith

the waiting strain of all the men, wait

go, to see him crumple up In the dust,
and-he looked at the peak on Saw

will melted, he turned and went inside
his cabin. No one followed him, there
was no one inside to greet him. His
heart was filed with helpless rage,

Miranda alone in the flivver, a new

The Value Of An
Early Start

The habits of youth stay with
us. That is why it is wise to
teach young children the habit
of thrift.
Conservation of time, labor and
material is fully as important
as financial thriftiness.
Practical thrift lessons are
taught easiest through the use
of money. Tangible growth in
pennies or dollars is attractive
to any child.

FAST BALL GAME
CLOSES SEASON;
SCORE OF 6 T02

In what is claimed to be the last
game Of the season, the Ell Centric
team defeated the Mexicali bali
tossers in the border city yesterday
afternoon, the score being to 9.
BY mutual agreement, the game was
shortened to seven innings, that
being plenty for all concerned,
considering the hot weather.
Klcagle, star catcher of the Cen
tral Union High School team, was
on the receiving end of the local S
battery. He performed excellently
cutting down the few Mexicali
players who attempted to take lib
critics with his arm, once they got
on the bases. All the local boys hit
well. Leo Buck treated himself to
u home run, much to his own sat
faction, and to the discomforture
of the MeXicali players.
The game was exceptionally fast
and free from any sort of argument.
Music by the military band of
Mexicali entertained the crowd and
put "ginger' into the players.
AS most Of the local players will
be on vacation for the next few
months and because the weather
is too hot to attract the fans, there
will be no further games scheduled
until fall.

RACE IN MAJOR :
LEAGUES HALF
WAY TO FINISH
Yankees Look Like Sure
Winners; May Set
New Record
BY HENRY L. FARRELL
Urited Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, July 16.-Half way
to the worlds series the ajor
league ball clubs are spread out all
over the course. The Yankees are
so far ahead that only n long string
of blowouts can keep them from
getting in first under the American
league wire by mile.
After starting out like sure
winner the Giants hit the rough
spots of the mid-season, when the
world s champions went down with
an attack of their old trouble-bad
pitching.
AS it stands now, the Yankees
record for games won and lost at
the end of the season. 'The great
pitching staff that Miller Higgins
had as his big asset when the season
started has held up according to
expectations and even little bit
better. Higgins is sending his club
along at a fast pace and he is not
using all his pitching strength. Af-
ter starting out as q real contender
for the pennant, the Philadelphia
Athletics have slumped back part
tally because of the failure of Rom
nell to live up to his form of last
season.
In the National league the Giants
have only q lead of three and one
half games and with an in-and-out
pitching staff, McGraw has no safe
margin to play around with.
Pat Moran s Cincinnati Reds
look like the most dangerous rival
the champions have for the pen
nant. The Reds are acting q lot
like they did in 1919 when they
stepped opt in July and coppeG off
the pennant.
The Reds played the best ball in
the National league last week, win
ming seven out of nine games. The
Giants won five out of eight and
the Cubs came around little and
grabbed four out of their six
games.
While the Giants have practical
ly finished their soft feeding off
the Pills and the Braves, the Reds
and Pirates also have many more
games with those weak clubs and
it will give them an advantage.
