Il mean that Ralph Armitage,

tragic marriage, set him outside The

other men. Mr.. Armitage. l cannot
offer much to Lynda, but j can Of
fer her marriage with an honorable
man. Lynda Fenton has told me
this morning that she is not sure
that this is enough to overbalance
wonderful apartments, gorgeous
jewelry, foreign cars, as well as
foreign trips, which your son can
give her.
What would you have done, Mr..
| Armitage. If. when you were In
love with your sons mother, some
one had filled her mind, as your
son has Lynda's, with such fairy
tales of spendor and romance?'
Ralph Armitage, senior, looked at

do you feel that is necessary,
David?"
David did not notice that Mr..
Armitage, for the first time since
| he had known him, had used his
first name.
Yes, SIR" he answered, quickly
and although the older man waited
for him to say more, he did not add
what was in his mind; that he
could not work for man who was
trying to wrong Lynda.
Il do not blame you, sir, for this
I should have known what would

and hears him address her in en-

Next morning David tries to ex-
plain to Lynda that he sought only

that she will accept that which
means most to her. though now
she's undecided.

CHAPTER NLVII
As Men Look at Lives
When David kenmore got to Mr..
Armitage's office. he did not wait
to knock. He opened the door as
quickly as possible, and he, too. for
q moment. saw the elder Armitage
without his mask.
:. He was reading the morning pa :
per, and he still had it in his hand
az he looked up at David.
Kenmore, were you at that dis
graceful party last night" he said,
abruptly.
Yes, sir l was at that party, but
there was nothing particularly dis
graceful about it that l could see,
(. except the brawl that took place
between your son and myself"
o.: MY God. Kenmore. Do you mean
to tell me that you were the man
who fought with my son ,"
I'VE did not fight. No matter
how angry l was at any man,
would not strike one who was Grip
Piled in any way. l have not seer

know what was said about it,"
Without a word, Mr.. Armitage
passed it over. The reporter had
evidently found out nothing except

Rhem, Donohue and Meadows Just
reached that mark.
The two American League pitch
ers to shine were Uhle of Cleveland
wcth twenty-seven battles to his
credit, and Pennock, who registered
twenty-three triumphs.
Last year the number of twirl-
Iers to reach the coveted figure in
the majors was increased by one
over the preceding season. Once
again the National offered four
such stars while the American
had three.
A STRIKING coincidence about
L A the hurting records of these
two years is the fact that not one of
the six to go 20 or. better games in
1926 was able to repeat last season.
Pennock and Meadows fell Just one
short of the charmed number, while
Kremer, out for a couple of months
with a bad knee, was two games
away.
In the National League averages
for 1927, we find Root Of Chicago
with the most victories, 26; likewise,
he lost the most games Of the four
outstanding pitchers in the senior
organization, as Is defeats were
charged to him.
4 Il
Haines of st. Louis, with "a
wins and only 10 defeats, finished
with the best average, followed by
Alexander, with FL wins and 10
losses and Hill with 20 victories
against II reverseS.
TIME American League data shows
4 Waite Hoyt as the pitching ace
of that organization with twenty
two wins and only seven defeats.
Lefty" Grove finished second with
twenty and twelve, while Lyons was
third with twenty-five to fourteen.
1t will be noted that of the seven
leading pitchers of the two leagues,
men able to win twenty or more ball
games, only Grove Of the Philadel-
phia Athletics is a left-hander.
Difficulty in holding a working
margin Of a one Or two run lead,
is what makes pitching such a try
ing job these days and the win
ming of twenty ball games SO diff
cult task.
n
Major league pitchers never
consider a game reasonably safe
unless they have a five-run lead.
A margin of four runs or less is
always considered dangerous.

The Bulldogs met Marquette last

that should Muncie be turned over
