nothing of the chiseled fineneSs
that belonged to it at other times.
The wood-broWn eyes were swollen
and red. The good lips hung loose,
and the clear skin was notified.
The reddish-brown hair fell over
it in lanky strands which dripped
sand as Beryl lifted the head to
her lap.
She cried: Tommy. Tommy,
what's the matter with you?" But
she knew. 1t was the first time she
had seen him like that, but she
knew.
There was nothing much that she
could do. Tommy was too supplied
to walk and she had nothing to
give him. SO she just sat there
and held his headptenderly in her
lap while she scolded him severely.
Tommy did not hear her. Her
words made no impression upon
his deadened brain, but when she
shook him roughly, as she did now
and again, he grunted feebly IN
protest.
She was with him like mother
whose child has endangered its own
life and escaped. Tommy's life had
been endangered. He had dropped
by the rock at low tide.
Beryl looked at the water creep
ing nearer. "You need good
wetting," she said in insincere
harshness. II should just let you
lie here and =. :"
His clothes were mess ANYWAY.
1t couldn't DO any harm, this new
idea of hers, if she carried it out.
She did not stop to think about
1t, but got up and tugged and
dragged at Tommy's inert body until
she had it in the water. They both
got pretty wet, but she saw to it
that Tommy got plenty of the salt
water in his face.
It helped, and when the water
became dangerously deep around
them and Beryl started to drag
Tommy out of it he was able to
stand up and Stagger-propeEed by
Beryl-to higher ground.
There she tormented him with
jerking him abount and finally
when he seemed about to fall asleep
in spite Of her efforts to keep him
awake-she put both hands in his
tangled hair and shook him rough
ly.
He blinked at her then with q
CLEAN of intelligence in his eyes.
Tommy, please, come out of it,"
Berry, pleaded.
Whats the matter with you?"
Tommy mumbled
Beryl shook him again, harder.
I'll show you, you young idiot"
she cried, the tears Of a moment
before gone from her voice.
And now the understanding In
his eyes increased. He sat up by
himself.
Listen, Tommy, listen" Beryl
entreated him. II have something
to tell you"

CHAPTER TWENTY EIGHT

60 that was Irene's secretl Berry,
- was speeches. for a moment.
Irene engaged to marry Prentiss
Gaylord. The younger girl waited
for her sister to speak but Beryl
only looked at her.
Irene wanted Beryl to say some
thing, to show by some sign that
she was impressed.
She stirred restlessly, but Beryl
seemed not to notice. AS a matter
Of fact she had forgotten Irene,
standing there in the doorway. She
was thinking of Tommy. q
Tommy was free now. And
Tommy was broken-hearted
Beryl sank back on her pillows
and closed her eyes.
Well" Irene said and her voice
betrayed her disappointment, Il
wanted to tell you in sisterly way,
but you wouldn't have 1t. So I guess
you don't care to hear any more. "
Beryl did not answer. After wait
ing a little longer, Irene stalked out
OF the room and went to rouse her
mother and tell her the good news.
They whispered together, paying
no attention to Mr.. Everett when
he said he wished they'd shut up
and let him sleep.
Her mothers excitement made up
TO Irene for Beryls calm accept
ance Of her important information.
Her self-approval was restored, her
ruffled feathers smoothed, and she
felt once more like a princess in a
fairy tale. One of the good prin-
ceSses.
Let Beryl take the news any way
she liked Mentally Irene turned
up her nose at the thought of car
ing about what Beryl might have
to say.
That was because she didn't
guess to whom Beryl would choose
to express herself.
While Irene discussed with her
mother the glory Of her new estate
Beryl dressed herself and slipped
out Of the house. She had to go by
way of the front porch roof, but
she was adept at athletic stunts, Sc
she found sliding down a porch
pillar no trouble at all.
She FASTENED as fast as she could
straight to the Hoffman house.
There she stood a moment, sur
veyed it's darkened windows and
considering q course of action.
Tommy'd had plenty of time to
get home. But had he time to get
to bed? No, he couldn't have gone
to- bed. Beryl decided. He wouldn't
be wanting sleep.
Was he in the house? Most likely
he was not. Should she sit down
somewhere and wait for him? Then
she reflected that if he we're inside
she might sit there all night and
not see him.
She wanted to see him. She was
sure that Tommy needed her.
Presently she gathered some
small stones and tossed them at his
window. There was no response
except the sound of the stones as
they struck lightly against the glas;
and then fell back to the ground.
Beryl walked around the house tt
the kitchen windows. No light
there.
Suddenly she shivered. Her fee
were wet from the dew-soakec
grass, but she did not think of pos
sible consequences to hersN.
Tommy was somewhere near. L
was awfully late for him to be out
Maybe she could get into the house
and search for him.
q
CHE would not admit it, but SHIT
- had a vague fear that Tomm!
might have come to harm. Or h
might have gone away

Cant Resist Georgetown

Then too, Georgetown. at
these prentemps festivals of her
athletic greats, has a way Of
converting everyone to her
bosom, and so if we speak of
the Blue and Gray in a sort Of
poSsessive sense, you will under
stand that we are not presum-
ing, but merely falling into an
easy attitude about the matter
for which Georgetown hoSpi-
tality and friendlineSs is largely
responsible.
Which brings us round to a
thing we mentioned quite conf
dentially to Tommy Mills as we
strolled out of the Mayflower
arm in arm. 1t concerned the
possibility sometime in the not
too-distant future getting one of
those "G's" they hand out every
year at these dinners.
We told Tommy we thought
anybody who was veteran of
half dozen football training
camps; anybody who had
slapped at the mosquitoes from
Wildwood to Point Lookout and
back again was deserving of
some sort of recognition when
they come around to handing
out honors.

NEXT CHAMP

CLEVELAND, April 23.-'Mis-

father-manager-trainer of Young"
Stribling, admits he isn't the pre-
dieting kind, but he will venture
to say that his Willie is going to
be the next champion Of the

The pater is quite confident Of
that fact, but of course he ad-
mits it's a little early to be talk
ing about how Willie is going to
pole over the Herr of Herrs, Max
Schmeling, the present champ to
most people, when they meet here
on July 3.
Even so, Stribling the elder al
ready has formed somewhat of
an idea how things will look on
that pre- Fourth : of July night

G. j. RUNNERS
DEPARTFOR
RELAYS

Part of the Georgetown Univer-
sity athletes who will compete in
the annual Penn relays this week
end will entrain tonight for Phila-
delphia, scene of the games.
Those who will head the van
guard of Hilltop delegates to the
track and field carnival at Frank
lin Field are Coach John D.
O'Reilly, AL Kelly, 70-yard indoor
intercollegiate champion; Artie
Briggs, Chuck Carlin; Vic Burke,
captain, and Jim Kelly.
The remainder of the George
town group leaves tomorrow. 1t
will include Jack Mara, Jack
Downing and Bill Slezak, Of the
varsity, and the freshman one
mile relay team of John Powers,
Maurice O'Reilly, John McVoy
and Walter Kovolanak. They are
not to compete until Saturday.
The quarter mile relay team
of AL Kelly, Carlin, Briggs and
Burke and the sprint medley
relay team of Al Kelly, Carlin,
Burke and Jim Kelly are listed
to race tomorrow. AL Kelly
and CarIin will each do 22O
yards in the sprint medley,
Burke the quarter mile and Jim
Kelly the halfmiIe.
The opening of the decathlon
tomorrow marks the first time
since 1919, with the exception of
1920. that Georgetown has not
been represented in the penthalon
or decathlon at the Penn Games.
The late Bob LeGendre won the
penthalon for Georgetown in 1919
but was unable to compete in
1920 because of leg injury. After
LeGendre came Tony Plansky,
Emerson Norton, the two Moron
eys and Leo Sexton.
Georgetown will have relay
teams in the one-haf mile, two
mile, freshman mile and possibly
the varsity one-mile races on
Saturday. The one-half mile
team will include Al Kelly
Briggs. Carlin and Burke. The
tWo-mile four will number Burke,
Downing. Jim Kelly and Mara
The one-mile combination, if
started, will be represented by
Burke, Jim Kelly, Mara and Car
lin.
Georgetown will withdraw from
the one-mile varsity relay if this
event is run in heats, as Coach
O'Reilly thinks it would be too
great a task for his athletes
Most of his runners are doubling
in the relays, while Capt. Vic
Burke will be called upon four
times, and five times if the one
mile relay team goes to the post
81 expect my quarter-mile,
half mile and sprint medley
relay teams to make some noise
at the Penn games," says Coach
O'Reilly. "The 2-miIe club
might also furnish Boston
College and Ohio State with
opposition. don't expect to
accomplish much in the one
mile varsity relay if we start
as there are some schools that
have entered teams for this
event only while most Of my
runners are competing in
several relay races"

Phillies.
The Cardinals continued SUI

striking out six Cincinnati bat
ters.
Caraway restricted Cleveland to
eight hits and Eichrodt, Sox out

and they fell again.

Ill FORTUNE.
HAS TRA|LED
PITCHER

BY JOE HOLMAN


PH1LADEL PHIA, April %.
That waivers have been asked
and received on Pitcher Ad Liska,
Washington's youthful submariner
was learned today.
Also it was discovered that
"efeelers' were sent out on Carl
Fischer, southpaw speed mer-
chant, recently. They were hastily
withdrawn, however, when a
major league club readily put in
o claim for Carl's services.
BY virtue of yesterdays per
formance against the Athletics,
Fischer, on his stuff alone, seems
certain to be retained.
Other wash in & tOn-Owned
players of less Importance, who,
like LiSka, have been passed up,
are Pitcher Carlos Moore and
Outfielders Alvin Powell and
Tom Banks.
Moore and Powell. recently
turned back to washington by
Chattanooga. have reverted to
Springfield, of the Eastern League.
Banks is affiliated with Hagers-
town, of the Middle Atlantic.
Liska who has been having his
sore right arm treated by Lin
coin. Nebr. surgeon, has been most
unfortunate since hitting the big
show in 1923.
Coming to Washington from
Minneapolis of the American AS
sociation. at a reported $40, 900
expenditure after a great season,
Ad got away to fine spring start.
A sprained ankle then waylald
him. Injuries of various kinds
have continually handicapped him
since.
To climax a major league
hard luck career, LiSka this
spring contracted a mysteriOusly
sore arm in Biloxi. Conse-
quently, through no fault of his
own, he has been valueless to
his team since.
Though waived on by other
clubs it is believed that Manager
Walter johnson will give Ad one
more chance to hit a major stride
when his arm comes around.
Should he then fail to deliver the
affable underhander will be op-
toned to some minor club.
Marberry May Start
Fred Marberry, who has been
held in reserve against the AS SO
far this season, may get start
ing shot against his old rivals
here when the current four day
stand is brought to a close Satur-
day.
"Sam Jones and Brownie
ought to give the Athletics
plenty of trouble" is Manager
Johnson's way Of seeing it.
"And with Marberry backing
them up we should at least get
an even break"
That Philadelphia will sponsor
Sunday baseball before the close
of the present year is widely
believed here. The reason is
sound. In that event the AS
will be forced to revise their
schedule somewhat. This task, it
Is claimed, will not be a difficult
one.
To Use Old Style
They may soon be calling him
"water bucket" again. But AL
Simmons doesn't care.
In an effort to shake off his
batting slump AL has about de-
cided to abandon scientific hit
ting and once more adopt the
stance that made him famous.
