Veronica and Tom Grenofen put out into the Channel and again meet the iratc French patrol boat. An- other order to halt, another de- fiancc by Veronica and the race is on.

 She threw off the rug, and looked through the screen.
 "Lugger,' said Veronica. We shall soon raise land . A very good pal"
 We did raise land within quar- ter of an hour. I carried on at the wheel until we were close enough to identify landmarks. Then Veronica took charge. She seemed to steer straight for range of cliffs, far higher than the little ones near Blackwater.

NEW YORK, Sept. 5.-There's always one pitcher on club that stands out in the long, hard fight pennantward.
 This year 1t is Guy Bush for the Cubs and Lefty Grove for the Ath- letics. They have contributed heavily to the most unexciting pair of pennant races" in decade.
 Bush stands out because of the stirring pitching performances he has produced in not only leading his club but also the league, s Grove is in the forefront not only because of his won and lost rating but because of his colorful style. Between the two, Bush and Grove had won 35 games and lost only five on August 20.
 Bush topped his club with plenty to spare but was just jump ahead of Burleigh Grimes for the highest league rating.
 Grove had the best pitching per centage of the As staff but was running second in the league rat ings. Old Tom Zachary was out in front with nine victories and no defeats.
 It is somewhat of new experi- | anca for p,cl fa houa tho cooOnf highest average in the m aj o r s Eighteen months ago he was just another pitcher First indications of his climb came in 1928 wher Mississippi Guy picked up Is vic tories against six defeats. In three other seasons with the Cubs, tho 25-year-old right handler pitchee just ordinary ball. For the thres years he won 19 and lost 22, which left him far short of the from ranks.
 But Grove has been up there with the high winners in three o1 the five seasons he has spent witt the As. That is why ne can taRt several weeks to win that nex game and without losing prestige
 Lefty has been 20-game pitcher for two years. That is he reachee that mark in 1927 and 1928. I'm actual figures show he won 20 ane lost 13 in 1927 and won A ane lost eight in 1928 He at least should approach his 1928 total thi' season. They were picking hin to capture 30 games until an earll August slump put the blond south. paw on the skids.
 If that Chica g o-Philadelphis world series does materialize. Lefty and Guy will be in there trying fol share of glory and they may make their bids no later than the firsi day of the championship program.
 With six weeks to go Bush yer. sus Grove is the easiest guess ane probably the best for the opener

 "What imbecile fired that shot?''
 The conversation so begun was Imaginable
 It appeared that the imbecile was the lieutenant in command himself. He stood at the gangway, and when he realized that the man at Fiftiper's wheel was a lady, he saluted gallantly, and said:
