Jerry's fondly uttered "darlings I"
OF course he could say nothing,
with Rosemary listening, her keen
little ears pricked eagerly.
And how darned glad Rosemary
was that she--Vee-vee-was mot

At luncheon, served with pofnp

almost genial, though the light of
battle still glittered in his eyes.

would become the millionaires for
whom they now make life miserable,
he commented graphically, and that
was his only reference to the morn
ing-long tournament of wits against
money and influence.
Vee-Vee learned from converse
ton between her parents" that the
housekeeper. half a dozen maids, two
footmen, the chef and two under
cooks had left before noon for the
Manhasset Bay estate of the Gran

be at least habitable when the fam

When she returned to her room
she found that her maid had packed
her clothes and was ready for the

And at three o'clock she was seat

Here are two men with an alter

known for his ability to run off
with the American league batting
honors every other year, while
George, the big ex-sandlotter of the
Cleveland Indians, has one good
plastered all over the American

Heilmann began his old record In
1921 when he led the league for the
first time. George Sisler beat him
out in 1922. Harry repeated in 1923,
but Rush finished in the lead in
1924. Heilmnnn led for the third
time in 1925, but q teammate Helnie
Manush, took the honor in 1926. Last
year was the fourth consecutive odd
year that Harry pulled the stunt.
Uhle won rs games while losing IL
in 1923. but finished the following
year with only 0 wins and Is losses
he 1925 season saw some improve
ment but not enough to call il a good
year. He came back and pitched his
best ball IN 1926 by winning ~
games and losing only IL. Last year

the only thing that gave his adher-
