 Compilation of the vote of National League players on an All-National league team shows that in the older major circuit, as in the younger one, the privates in the ranks do not agree with some of the celebrated experts of the game in the selection of an All American aggregation.
 Frisch Out Of Lineup
 The biggest surprise of the ballot is that it gives Frankie Frisch, the bril- liant second sacker of the Giants, no place in the lineup. Undoubtedly the voters felt that Firschs could not be chosen to the exclusion of Rogers Hornsby. On the other hand, the Giant star having played allc season in the keystone position, could not fairly be placed-in the minds of many-at his former station as third' baseman. This would have been ain injustice to "Pie" Traynor, the fine third sacker of the Pirates.
 The feeling that Frisch schould be on an All-National league team is evi- denced, however, by the circumstance that he is given votes. for three diff ferent positions-second base, third base ana ShortStop.
 Grimes Second Pitcher
 An another interesting feature is the choice of Grimes as second only to Vance among National League pitchers. Vance is, of course, the outstanding pitcher of the year and a unanimous Choice for every All-Star team. It is m unusual happening, however, for one club, Brooklyn, to have two boxmen on the all-league team. 1f
 Getting down to the results of the vote, it is noted that Wheat of Brook lyn, ignored by John McGraw, Babe Ruth and Christy Mathewson in their All-American selections, comes into his own as left fielder on the All-National The players voted Wheat a. more val4 uable left fielder than the young Pittsburg star, Cuyler, yet the latter, was chosen by Babe RHth on his All league to put Young offNew York in the right field position Was very heavy.
 Wright At Short
 McGraw picked his own shortstop, Travis Jackson, for All-American short stop, but good as the youngster is, his predecessor with the Giants, Bancroft, now manager of the Boston Braves, gets more votes in the National league ballot, and the latter is poor second to Pittsburg's phenomenal youngster, Wright, McGraw transferred Frisch from second to third base, where he has not played the past season, in order to place him on his All-American, but the players give their vote to Traynor of Pittsburg. ar
 Christy Mathewson in making up. his All-American uses six National league players. They are Pitcher Vance and First Baseman Fournier of Brooklyn, Second Baseman Hornsby of St. Louis, Third Baseman Frisch of New York, Shortstop Bancroft of Boston and Gen. ter Fielder Roush- of Cincinnati. In the National league ballot, Kelly of New York was held to be better than Fournier at first base; Traynor Of Pittsburg, got the third place position in preference to Frisch; and Wright,

 Virginia's play against Harvard, V. NJ. l., and Penn, gives an indication of what may be expected in the tenth game that is played between the Orange and the Blue and White. The two schools have been rivals since 1890, though no game on the gridiron was scheduled between them from 1907 un- til 1922.

CHAPTER III.

Chickie stood in the hall where
the telephone was, listening to n
voice. Her heart swelled up with
such a humping she could scarcely
hear. A laugh came bubbling to
her lips. She managed to say:
"Oh, yes! Why yes, that's all
right!
She put the receiver in a dream
on the hook. Pulses throbbed all
about her throat and in her heart.
Arthur asked her to a show!
Asked her why she hardly looked
at him. Wanted her to be ready
in half an hour.
She walked about the room draw
ing in her breath.
She stopped before the white bu-
reau and obsently picked up the
program of her first dance, scan

drawn through other names.

ear-"pretty''-"sweet."

beyond the present from this cas-
ual invitation to the movies to the
flaming moment when Arthur
would drop upon his knees, his
face all white with love, and
gently ask her to marry him.
1t would be beautiful like that
There was q love scene in the
play. Chickie lived the tender
scenes. When the hero took the
girl in his arms, she dropped her
head, her hand curling in Ar

ashamed.
Yet. that night when he said
with boyish crudeness. Say,

tirely satisfied-melted as though
he spoke some quivering poem.
Her days became sweet with
the still music that ran beneath
all the commonplace. They went
often to the movies. They took
walks. They phoned.
Chickie dwelt in a flame of ex-
pectance, waiting the moment
when his eyes delved into hers, TO
hear him say: "Chicl1e, I love

night she would sit at tho piano
and play the treble, making up
her own bass to the poignant
song, Call Me Thine own" She
was carried away with sweet
yearning. She fahcied he would
come and stand behind her, that
he would reach over, cover her
hands slowly with his, draw her
to her feet. They would be swept
together like rivers, sparkling,
tumuItuous.
Once, coming to the last bar Of
the music, she turned, expecting
to see his eyes dark pools Of fire,
expecting to see him dumb with
emotion. He rubbed his hand
over his brown hair, swung over
to her with Gee! Chickie, you
like those melancholy things.
Say, that's awfully funny. Give
us a little jazz"
Yet there were moments so
sweet they drop ped into her
thoughts like an immortal fra
GRANGE.
One night, after a show, they
stood before Chickie's house. Still,
monastic quiet like an old faded
canopy stretched about the sc.
cluded street. Its silence whis-
pered with forgotten things-dim
pulse Of sorrows-murmur Of van
ished joy.
They looked up the steep hill.

She repeated, stunned, " A son?

''It would be easier with SON."

"Well-things aren't like they

Terror like a little live thing
crept through her.
"But, Jonathan"
For two hours he had lain
there tormented by his imagina-
ton. In his excitement, he sat
up in the bed, shaking.
''But I won't have it, Jennie!

He grew red and sheepish.
Just the same, Jennie-I see

Her hand went down in quick
comfort to his. After a long pause,
she said: "Yes, Jonathan, but we
can't keep her from life, can we?"
He slid back on his pillow, stir
ring uneasily. His child-yes? He
would have wound his great arms
hard about her-keep her from

The blood rushed In @ hot tide
to her face. She kept her eyes
down. You're Mlly, Arthur"
"But you're pretty. Chtcl1is!'
He kept looking at her until all
the little springs inside began to
bubble.
"Say, you're prettier than ever. /"
Afterwards he scratched names
from her program and put his own
in their place.
In the fifth number the popular
Dolly Bacon passed. She was
dancing with Bert Otis. They
were the same height and had
their cheeks touching. Chiclxie
looked away and then back, just
in time to see Dolly raise her face
and carelessly take a kiss Bert
Otis gave.
'Oh" she gasped.
You got that, Chickie?"
''Oh, no! Dolly got it!'
Suddenly she was confused and
glanced at him startled. He was
looking down at her with blue,
piercing eyes-with eyes that
seemed to flash right into her
heart-to lay it open with a flame.
"Oh, Arthur she whispered, not
knowing what to say, because OF
the strange, half-frightened joy
that caught her.
In a hurried interval she stopped
Mary. Isn't it heavenly!'
Mary threw back softly: Hes
crazy about you-Chickie-"
Chickie's pulses raced.
They walked homeward slowly
arm -in-arm. At the summit OF
Twenty-first and Dolores they
paused. Below them the city lay
asleep-a vast, pulsing body, quiet
under it's purple robe.
The night moved about them
softly, her breath sweet with un-
uttered song. Far off and hushed
the stars chimed in a dim, golden
symphony.
Have a good time, Chickie?"
They stood close together on the
top of the hill. She felt his eyes
that had suddenly become so
beautiful, fastened on her.
"Oh. Arthur" she raised her
face, half knowing that it was
near to his and trembled: DID
you?"
They were staring at each
other. She saw his eyes. He an
sered, "Say! say, you're sweet"
Lowered his head ever so little
"a quick, light brush of his lips
on hers-half afraid.
Chickie's eyes closed. She felt
that flowers dropped about her
face-soft petals stained red and
sweet about her mouth.
They turned into the cloistered
aisle of Fair Oaks. They said
nothing. Her eyes were moist.
She wished to laugh but was
afraid that she might cry.
The life Jonothan wanted to
keep from her opened it's wild,
sweet voice in Chickie's heart.
