CHAPTER ~

She kept calling for the child. ask
ing: is it still alive?"
The movements of the nurse about
the room had vague, shadowy IN
reality as though the nurse were a
phantom passing in mist.
Sandy would struggle with speech,
finding it an effort 10 bring forth the
words. But she must say them: go
and look at it See how il is now :"
she cried when the nurse didn't obey
at once.
She kept her eyes shut, hiding from
the flowers. The room was filled with
them. AL the bright colors of the
springtime. Their fragrance drifted
about her face. Now the nurse was
putting 4 basket of fresias and violets
on the golden oak bureau, breathing
their perfume.
She took handful Of these yiolets
and laid them on the table near San
dy's bed. She leaned down and whis-
pered: "Your husband sent all these
flowers. He was here all night. You
were sleeping. He left few moments
ago."

But be would never get the child

smiled, thinking of the little, dark
face. The baby's image floated be-
fore her. She said with a laugh in
her heart: a SONNY son"

That night the child was born. The
nurse moved about the white. bare
room. Her cool. strong fingers
touched on Sandy's pulse.
Sandy saw her. She wished &c

in these waves and waves of fog
Finally she said: MY head hurts.
But these words surprised her. They
were not what she wanted to say.
So she cried.

She cried out: Keep him away,

arms.
She woke up suddenly. her mind
clearing. She said fearfully to the
nurse: "It's dead? And you won't
tell me? Did it die:,
No, it's not dead. But it's very

She cried all night about it. So
in the morning they brought it to
her. She could only look at it q
moment. She mustn't touch il.
1t was thin and red and worn
looking-little, emaciated, skinned
looking thing. But her face-Sandy's
own face. She could trace it in the
tiny features. She saw Bob Nc
Neirs charm and beauty. She gave
a long, shivering laugh.
She saw tears in the nurses eyes
the nurse turning. taking the baby
away.
And she pleaded; she said eagerly:

"Yes-it's alive

Sandy put her hands over her face.

EASTERN LEAGUE
 OPENS UP TODAY
Bridgeport and Waterbury Play'
 ing Home Games

New Haven. April 22.-With Old Sol much in evidence and the wea- ther man forcasting a "balmy day" records crowds are expected at ball games in three New England one New York state cities today when the 1925 season of the Eastern league gets under way. The games on the slate for today are as follows:
 Hartford at Bridgeport. Springfield at Albany.
 New Haven at Worcester. Pittsfield at Waterbury. e Many new faces will be seen in Eastern league circles this year, close to 40 of the leading players of last season have been sent to other fields and the demand by the Eastern on leagues of lower classification has been big.
 Manager Bransfield of the cham pionship Brasscos declares that al- though he doesn't know the strength of the other teams on the circuit, his team will be in every game for all they have, battling for the top rung of the ladder from start to finish" , In Alex Schauffel, Manager Brans- field believes he has a catcher the peer of the Eastern league" Thomas Mccarthy of Poughkeepsie, N. T.. a newcomer to organized baseball, will in all probability second Schauffel as Paterson who played this position , last year has been sold to Worcester. Bishop and Fuller veteran hurl- CTS, Matthews. last season with Rochester, Carrigan with Waterbury last year, and Touchstone Phia- delphia recruit will share the pitch ing assignments during the season. Long, a veteran of many years will play at third and Helgeth, last sea- son of Toledo will be at short. Sec ond and first base assignments are uncertain. A wealth of outfield ma terial includes Yordy, Donahue and Heitman, Poole of Pittsburgh. Con- Ian of Chicago, Bransfield and Haas of Springfield and Gallagher of Providence.
 Springfield will enter the 1925 race with considerable veteran material. Manager McCann has il pitchers, on his staff from which he must choose six.
 Only five of the combination that carried Hartford In 1923 to it's first , pennant in ten years are with the club this year. The Senators great est strength seems to lie in their pitching staff.
 Bridgeport has four veteran hurl- CTS, Caffrey, Harrington. Wolfe and Crandall, who were with the club i in 1924, to rely upon for mound duty.

Ceremonies Are Combined With Giants Fourth Flag Raising-C Cleveland Finally LOses-Yankees and Senators Close in Brown HOmers Win No National League Games.

New York, April 9",--Cercmonies appropriately marking the golden jubilee Of the National league will he combined with the raising of their fourth straight pcnnant at the Polo Grounds today in inc first brush of a series with the Boston Braves,
 Well on their way 10 another title, with four victories in five starts, tho senior league champions will fare forth with the flaring of banners and the blartng of bands. After the pennant of 1924 is raised, the flag of the golden jubilee will be flung 10 the brcezes and the players will march from the outneDd to the plate, where the Giants will renew their drive after two-day layoff.
 All the other teams in the Ma ttonsl league will likewise resume play after a day of inactivity out of respect to the memory of the late Charles II. Ebbtts, president Of the Brooklyn club.
 In the American leagTe, favored teams today were rapping at the back door to first place as the first weeks eladers fioundered insecurely after two defeats yesterday.
 Erratic tossing cost both Cleveland and Philadelphia their games with Washington and Detroit, respective ly. Chick Fewsters wild cast on a double play, resulting in three Tyger runs, paved the way for Cobh's men to win, 4 to 3,While liberal distribu- tion of passes among members of Stanley Harris's championship con- tngent by Pitcher Lefty Groves gave Washington an easy win over the Athletics, 6 to 2.
 As result of this faulty handling Of the ball, Washington today is tied with Philadelphia for second place only one game behind the paccmak- ing Indians.

 Of the three games played last night, that of Landers and Russell and Erwin was the most thrilling because the outcome was ever in doubt and the margin of victory was but one point. In the first half the Landers team was completely out chased in every department and to- ward the close of the half were trail ing 20-13.
