CHAPTER III.

Union Hill had been created oy
two very different classes IF
home-makers, a fact which was
obvious from it's aspect. Its I'M
DISTINGUISHED frame buildings for
the most part sheltered families
who, having to live somewhere,
had settled there where inadequate
communication with the rest Of
the world kept rents down. Side
by side with this drab majority,
but n1ingling with it little, few
well.to-do business men had built
comfortable. roomy homes in an
uninspired compromise between
their business connections in the
city and their preference for
open.air life for their families.

Her husband nodded, Yes, he's
a good boy" After a thoughtful
pause, he added, Seems an aw-
fully quiet kid, though. l mean
he keeps things to himself. You
haven't any idea whether he's
having real boys fun or not.
He makes so little noise about it"
AS he passed through the hall,
Neale fingered a moment to han
die the Skinny stick again. He
locked at it carefully to see If
perhaps there was not a little
blood on it.

of speed. and tried harder. 1t
began to go better. He stopped
a dangerous rush by hooking
Franz Uhler's stick just as he
was about to shoot for goal. An
other time unaided he took the
ball away from Don Roberts, lost
it, but Marty Ryan retrieved it,
and Neale and Marty raced down
almost on top OF the opposing
goal keeper. Marty hit the ball
a terrific crack. "Gool"' they
cried exultingly, then on another
note. Indignantly, Hi there, drop
THAR. For as the ball bounded
along the street, a ragged little
boy who had sprung up from
nowhere grabbed it and made off.
The pack gave chase. The little
gamin had a good start but the
bigger boys ahead of Neale
were gaining on him. He
turned off eastward. AS Neale
tore along he saw Marty and
Franz catch up with the little kid,
and then what was this?
Where did all those other boys
come from?
The Gage of Battle.
With a whoop of joyous exulta-
ton he recognized the familiar
ambush, the welcome invitation to
battle. Come on, fellersv he
yelled back to his own crowd.

rest. of the Union Hill crowd
charged through fire of stones
at the invaders.
Then it was that the new
Skinny stick INDICATED itself.
Swinging it like a crusaders two
handed sword, Neale hacked and
hewed. He landed on the funny
bone of a boy struggling with
Marty for the ball. He landed on
another mick's ribs. He heaved
the stick up and was going to
smash a hostile head when the
enemy broke and ran. Trium-
plant, the Union Hill boys chased
them to the edge of the hill and
sent a volley of stones after them
as they scrambled down the steep
path among the rocks, but pur-
sued them no further. Below was
the enemy's country. The Union
Hill crowd never ventured down

America is on the long pull towards
prosperity. in spite OF the fact that so
much of the world is upside down."
This year is going to be a prosperous
year for the farmers, as well IS for
the business world. Employment in
general is better now than it has been
since the close Of the war. The in
dustries are working overtime. Con
struetion is booming. Transportation
facilities are improving. The rail
roads are buying new cars, new loco
motives and making many repairs.
Prices are steadily advancing in all
lines and there is an unusually large
demand for farm products. The far
mer will get more for his crop this
year than he got last.
We have all been signally blessed.
Four months, or a third of 1928, have
passed. Conditions are much better
than they were January l. Americas
most influential and keenest business

GOLF VICTORY
FOR YANKS

NEW YORK, May lit is
my opinion that an American will
triumph in the British amateur
golf championship at Deal which
begins May T." was the prediction
today of Joe Kirkwood, famous
Australian professional.
Kirkwood, who has competed
against the greatest living stars in
America, as well as some of those
from England, feels. certain that
one or another of the team of
Americans that sailed on the Maure-
tania to compete in the golf classic,
will be returned champion.
THE men included in the Ameri-
can team are among the best in
this country" said Kirkwood.
"They will go against some stiff
competition in England because
they have developed some splendid
amateurs there since the war. But
/ feel confident that there is within
the American team at least one
player and perhaps two, who are
better than any amateurs which
England now possesses"

In brief this is what Allen Rus.
sci has done already this year:
On April 20, against the Mack
men, he pitched one inning, Jimmy
Dykes leading off with a home run
into the left field bleacher and no.
body else doing anything.
On April 81, still against the
Mackmen, he relieved Jezebel Te-
cumseh Zarchary in the sixth in
ming with the bases loaded and no
body out. Though hit hard to the
end. the AS scored but one run
off him and the Washington victory
was awarded to Zachary, though
Russell pitched four frames and
completely stalled the Mackian ma
chine.
On April "a, at New York, Rus
sci relieved Brillheart in the second
inning with the bases damned and
one out. He famed Dugan, but
Ruth's single brought two runs over
before Pipp flied. Russell then
pitched brilliantly until Fisher went
to bat for him in the eighth, hold
ing the Yanks to three hits, one
of which was Babe Ruth's home
Returning home, Russell had
one days rest from actual service
though he did warm up. while
Zachary was staggering in the
seventh inning of that first game
in Washington for the season.
Then he went to work with .
vengeance.
On April 81, against the Mack
men, Russell relieved Walter john
son in the fifth frame with one out
and one on. He squirmed out of
that hole .magnificently and pitch
ed two more innings before Wade
went to bat for him. Three hits,
with a wild throw by Bucky Har-
ris, accounted for two runs of
Russell in that seventh.
On April 90, against the Mack
men, Russell relieved HollingsWorth
In the eighth, pitching the last two
frames and holding the AS to two
singles and no runs.
On April 30, against the Yankees,
Russell rushed in to supplant the
staggering Warmoth in the sixth.
He permitted but one hit, Pipp's
single, and walk, ending the
frame by farming Meusel In the

and he had nothing to do till to-

also true that he will be even more
hard up as soon as Russelis rubber

ly do under the treatment 1t has
been receiving.

his troubles. They are now sorry
to see him being OVerwOrked, both
on his own account and a'SH be-
cause they know he won't be in
shape later on when he may be
sadly needed.
Manager Bush is likely to shake
up his batting order today bench
ing Joe Evans and playing either
Dick Wade or George Fisher in the
garden. The former Indian has a
weak arm, the result of a cold
caught in Tampa, and he may not
play again until he can throw,
which will probably be when the
warm weather comes.
