tracts her to many men. who desert
her when she IL in trouble. She
has az unfortunate experience with
a local theatrical manager, 10 whom

After Ted Hawkins offered Betty

TO propose to her. although nothing
seemed fUrther from his Thoughts.
She could not blame him. With the
allowance his father gave him. and
the good time he seemed 10 be hay
ing. It vas hardly TO be expected
that he would settle down as a fam
lily man.
Betty was beginning 20 wish she
had taken George Harris suggestion
and let dancing alone. Every man
with whom she had come In contact
had mistaken her for a woman Of
doubtful morals. While she was
clever enough To evade an open
break with them. she resented Jack
Parker. the local theatrical man
ager, aud this man Hawkins. think
ing that because she danced she was
unconventional.
She remembered also, that while
Dee. Harry and Andy were glad
enough TO play around with a dane
ing girl. none Of them had suggest
81 any p~ermanenry in their atten-
tiors.
When Betty came 20 the Thurs
day morning rehearsal for her third
week az the Orpheum, the stage
manager said: Brown. this Program
don't look good for you. We got a
hoofer who wants somebody
TO help her In the act. It's gypsy

Cubs Down Boston
And Stretch Long
Lead In National
(By the Associated Press)

Unless something speedily turns
up to stop them, the Chicago Cubs
soon will be making a runaway of
the National league race just as
Connie Mack's Philadelphia Ath-
letics have in the American.
The Cubs stretched their advant-
age to four and one-half games
yesterday by trouncing Boston, 40
while Pittsburgh lost to the phillies,
1875.
The Cubs victory, their ninth in
a row, was due almost entirely to
excellent pitching by Sheriff Blake.
Six Pirate pitchers failed to halt
the smuggling Phils at Pittsburgh. It
took three Pitch S to halt the PhiIs
in the third inning when they scored
seven runs.
Chuck Klein hit his 32nd home of
the year.
Big Fred Fitsimmons further
demonstrated that he is no cousin
to Red Batsmen, the 5urly New
York Giant Highlander, shutting
out Cincinnati 8 to O. 1t was the
fourth successive shut-out Fitzsim-
mons has scored against the Reds.
The st. Louis Cardinals ended a
three-game losing streak by beating
Brooklyn, 10 o 9 in II innings. Sew
en- pitchers trotted the the mound
during the day and gave no fewer
than 80 hits.
The American league situation re-
manned unchanged as the Yankees
and Athletics both won.
The AS travelled ten innings to
down Detroit, S to 4. George Uhle
gave only four hits UP to the ninth
but the AS tailed three times in
this session to tie the score and won
out on Simmons single in the tenth
Fifteen solid drives gave Cleve-
land an easy 11-4 triumph over the
Boston Red SoX, Morgan getting twc
singles, a double and q triple.

thorough licking as the Steers open
ed the series with a II to 2 victory.
The same malady that struck the
Bluffs also laid the three other
Southern clubs low. AS a result,
the first division today looked much
like it did a few days before the
season was split, with the notable
exception that the Steers were in
seventh place instead of first. Three
northern outfits had climbed back
into the select circle.
Wichita Falls took advantage Of
the Bisons' rout at Dallas to shove
back into undisputed possession of
the lead. subduing San Antonio,
7 to 2. The tribe, incidentally, is in
the midst of another great losing
streak. Milt Steengrafe was in fine
fettle, keeping seven hits well
strung out, while Neal Baker was
pounded hard.
The Panthers finished strong to
nose out Waco, 3 to 2, in their open
er and entrenched themselves in
third place.
Although they started bravely
enough, piling into Collard for four
runs in the first frame, the Ex-
porters skidded further along and
came up on the short end of an 5 to
6 count in the inaugural at Shreve-
port, in which both sides used three
pitchers.
