CHAPTER o.
Marian noted with relief that all
the lights in the house were out except
one in the lower hall. She hoped
this meant that her sister was asleep.
But as she crept past Lois door
a voice summoned her.
Marian! Come in here! Father
is all right. SO there is no need of
your stopping to see about him." Lois
continued as Marian came to her bed
side. 1--WE only been in bed for few
minutes. 1 had callers
"Ah! Who were they -
Helen and May Davis the first part
of the evening. Then''-her voice a
little strained with excitement-"Mr.
Sumner
Indeed? That was pleasant"
Plainly Lois was so much absorbed
in her own news that she had forgotten
that Marian might have interesting in
formation to impart. The younger girl
drew a breath of self-congratulation
She did not want to discuss her plans
tonight.
Did Mr.. Sumner stay long?" she
questioned, hoping to encourage her
sister to talk of her own affairs.
He did not come until late" Lois
continued, eagerly. THE two girls
and were standing in the door talk
ing--just before they went home. 1t
must have been about half-past nine.
And, all at once, someone passing our
gate stopped, then came up the walk.
1t was Mr.. Sumner. He said he had
not intended to come in, but, hearing
our voices, thought perhaps you and
l were there. He wanted to inquire
after father. Do you know, really
believe it was just a ruse to get the
opportunity to call? 1 really fancy
that he likes to come here"
I Possibly, when you are in" was
the agreeable rejoinder.
Lois emitted a gratified laugh.
| "Perhaps-but / am not SO sure of
that. He offered to take the Davis
girls home. They had the sense to
say 1t was not necessary. Then when
ne started to bid me goodnight, 1 told
him was glad of the chance to thank
him for the kind offer that he had
made to you and me-though YOU
this afternoon. At first he did not
seem to know what 1 meant. Then
when 1 explained he looked embar-
raised and assured me that II would
make him happy if lie could only be

records hung up by old timers in
even a longer sweep of time. And
If Cobb endures for four years more
he is certain to pass every mark
ever hung up by any baseball
athlete.
In 1923. when Cobb finished be-
yond 800 for the eighteenth con-
secutive season, he whipped Hans
Wagner's mark of seventeen years
in a row. And also in the same
year Cobb stepped beyond the Wag-
merriam mark in the matter of life
time hits.
The record for long distance play
ing is twenty-five years-held by
Anson. In four more years Cobb
could beat 1t. Wagner played the
most games, 2.795. Cobb's mark is
2,341, a difference Of 454. In four
years, Cobb, playing 115 games
yearly, could surpass that.
Wagner went to bat 10,489; Cobb's
mark is 1921. In three seasons.
averaging only 400 at bats per year,
Cobb would hold the record.

PILLS AND AS
BOOK SEVEN
CANES
Spring City Series Will Begin
April I, Weather Per-
mitting.

The Phillies and Athletics have
scheduled a seven game spring
series in Philadelphia, the inst
game of which is on the docket for
April 1. That's a very early start
for Philadelphia baseball, as the
climate there Is much similar to
that Of New York, and early April
usually is cold and raw on the
banks of the Hudson.
In the yeAE1 when both Phila-
deiphia clubs were up the Epling
series was quite a feature in the
Quaker City, but until last year it
had been practically abandoned.
Last spring the Phillies and
Athletics played two-game Sc ries,
and one Saturday game drew &c 60C.
AS a result the custom has been
resumed.
New York only tried the spring
series once, and then 1t was more
or less Of a bust. In 1916 the
Yankees and Gaints scheduled q
three-game series on the Polo
Grounds. Both clubs had a lot of
new stars that they wanted to show
OF, and with good weather the
series might have gone over big.
The Giants had purchased Kauff.
Rariden. Roush, McKech aie and
Anderson from the Federal League,
and the Yanks had bought MaSee
from the Athletics and Magee,
Cullop and Schaefer from the Feds.
However, the series ran into an
April cold wave. Two games were
postponed and another was PLAYED
on a day with the Temperature
around freezing. AS a result of
this fizzle no further attempt was
made to resume the experiment.
