WASHINGTON WILL
 WIN THE TENANT
That Is the Prediction Of Stanley Harris, Manager of Champions

New York, July A R-"They may call my team a pack of dis cards but before this pcnnant race is over they'll wish 1t was a misdeal," "
 That's what Stanley Harris, man ager of the Worlds Champion Wash ington American League team, thinks of his 1925 hand in the eight cornered battle now progressing at Ban Johnson's table or fortune.
 Lets see" said Harris, they thought Stanley Coveleskic was through out in Cleveland and cast him into the hiscards. l picked him up and you can look at the records to see whether he was an ace or a deuce. He is the leading pitcher in the American league right now with 13 victories in fl starts, His last 12 starts resulting in victories.
 And Dutch Euether, discarded by the Cincinnati and Brooklyn clubs, IS pitching over 500 ball for us. RueI, Peck and Scott were all cast adrift from the Yankee payroll, and I'll leave 1t to you 10 decide whether Ruel and Peck earned their salaries in last years World Series games.
 'I cast my lot with the veterans this year because I have every con- fdonce in every man on that field.
 As far es I know I'll drift alonG next season with practically the same faces. Johnson signed up for two years at the beginning of this season. There might he change or two but nothing radical. picked up young shortstop from down scnth who comes highly recommend cd and I may launch out and grab couple of college stars, but right now my mind is on the 1925 race.
 ,"Don't think we underestimate the Philadelphia Athletics. have every respect for that rluckv ortfit which plays hall for Connie Mack. but l think in tho final analysis well nail the hunting 10 our backyard"
 The Senators were warming up yesterday at the Yankee Stadium as Harris was talking. He spoke to q big left handler on the bench next to him:
 rom, do you think your arm feels well enough to stand off tho Tanks today?" Tt foo'e fine and I'd like 10 pitch today" was the answer.
 "Al right Zachary will pitch to- dav" said Harris
 The Tanks won and Washington lost the lead.

Except him. Except Barry. Pushed
the whole world aside that she
might have him.
Now he was going-gone perhaps.
And there was no one elSe-no other
thing. Her life was wholly his.
She grew frightened, seeing her
self thus isolated. She struck the
fear from her mind. No-wait-to-

BY noon she was in kind of
panic, reluctant to leave the office
reluctant to brook the disappoint-
ment that might be hers.
She waited till Janina was gone.
Then she went swiftly through the
alley to the restaurant where they
usually met. With shivering un-
certainty she took their table. She
said to the waitress with a bright
smile: I'll wait a while"
So the waitress set places for two.

RI Err room was gray, bleak.
~ She walked into it uncer-
tainly-sat on the bed.
And she was trembling. The
veins along her throat and up about
her ears ran with fire. Their heat
whirled through her. A long while
hehe sat motionless in this faint, over
towering weakness.
Suddenly his voice, like an angry
presence, struck across the room:
II can't stand it! That's alive
can't get by!" She sprang to her
feet, holding to the bedpost.
And as she stood, there rushed
against her with blasting stark
ness the things he had said. More
terrible now; more final-open hands
beating her down.

Oh, SOL did 1t! Yes! don't know
why I was wild. Everything.
Frightened. Oh, now you're hating
me-you look so. I wouldn't do this
to you. No matter what you did!
No-Let me go. You can't stop me.
Ho-hold me here! How long?"
She grew shrill, incoherent. And
suddenly turned her head against
the seat, terrible little means rushed
to her lips.
He put his arm about her: well
this won't do any good. No use
now. Don't cry about it! Why
we'll, 1t doesn't matter. I don't care.

She put his arm from her. And
now calm that was heavier and
more unsupportable than frenzy
came like a weight. 1t was still
thing, yet it throbbed and had
voices. She listened to it and to
him.
IT can't stand this-that's all. We
can't get by with it," And each
time that he recalled her coming, he
seemed the more aghast-the more

you'd stoop to this"
She gave little broken cry: mol
And did I? Oh-you think I

you? I wonder if you think that?"
He drew in his mouth, sinking
his teeth against it.
She went on: mo! Now you say
I stoop to things. Oh, yes! And
you hate me-"

She touched his arm, ran her fin

Mitchell, "at the exact spot where {

there is a bare possibility that We
might in time be able to make a fairly
close forecast Of tornadoes. But there
is no other way we could"
Because of possible panics and riots
