Lucille Dayenant was playing a game
with her, and had been playing g
game with her from the very moment
they met.
A queer logged obstinacy made
Richenda vow that she would find out
what plot lay behind those closest

The following week Richenda. Lu

Mrs. Davenant was entirely her gay

gentle solicitude for Richenda's vel

memory of her unpleasant outburst
were rather pathetic.

more frankly as the brief days passed

So there had been a definite meaning
to her dream.
A verse she loved came across her

'"rwo shall be born the whole wide

That, doubt.
This historic game started with

and Bill Donovan for the Tigers.

we were just two runs behind. In
that inning Sam Crawford hit for

The great game was resumed and
we went on to the seventeenth in

ground neck and neck Neither
side, after that, was able to gain
an advantage. It then grew too
dark to see the ball and the game
was called.
Always / have regarded thar
decision by silk O,Loughlin and
Tommy Connolly as one Of the
gamest and most just that ever

quite easy for an umpire, lacking
courage or dreading unp1easantness,
to have LET Davis long fly go as
a two-base hit into the crowd. 1t
would have suited the big crowd
certainly and any protest that we
might have made would have
amounted to nothing.
But those umpires knew what
was right and decided the play
accordingly. It took nerve and
determination to do that.
