That at last, after four years of petty clerical work, his rightful job in the engineering department was in sight! They could have a pleasant, airy apart ment, a woman for the housework.
 Oh, it meant everything!
 But no excitement, the doctor said. No suspense. And, of course, the job wasn't cinched.

 "Of course not. Why think about it?''
 Because he tried to speak lightly he managed only to sound uncon- vincing. Laurels smile was forced as she kissed him; her fingers twitched at the frayed cord of her bathrobe. Dan caught the little look behind look that had begun ot haunt him.

You said next week - Dan saw that the chief was grim ming slightly at his fervor. But that was because he didn't know about Laurel and the two rooms on an inside court. He waited until supper was over to break the news to Laurel. With his hopes realized, he wished he had given her just an inkling this morning. She mustn't grow too ex- cited.
 She looked extremely well. Still, there was feverish quality in her unwonted rosiness and in the spar

TT took nearly eight years for the people of Chile to gain the in- dependence which a small band of native patriots had declared on September IS. 1910. This oath of independence. pictured on the one-centavo stamp of the special commemorative sesies which Chile issued in 1910. was practically the beginning of a revolutionary move ment which freed the South Amer. ican countries from the tyranny of Spain.
 Chile's Spanish governor, Car. rasco, tried to avert opposition by establishing . congress" and electing himself president. But the leaders of the revolution saw through his deception. deposed him and took the oath of inde- pendence which actually was not accomplished until April, 1918.

THIS was due in large part to
sequence of injuries unparalleled
in recent major league history.
At one time or another every regu-
lar on the Washington club was
casual. Joe Kuhel, star first base
man, broke an ankle in June and was
lost for the remainder Of the season.
Jonathan Stone, Buddy Myer and
Fred Schultz we're out for weeks with
leg injuries.
Cliff Bolton, hard-hitting backstop,
was a holdout until Summer and
then broke a finger. Cronin broke
his wrist as climax, while the pitch
ing staff gradually was shot to pieces.
Harris has big gap to fill at short
stop and in the batting order, where
Cronin, in an of year, drove in lOl
runs. He must rely on three young
backstoppers to handle a pitching
staff that must effect some remark
able recoveries to put the team in the
race.
Ralph CRed) Kress, jack-of-al-
infield trades, with the Browns and
White Sox over a six-year period,
looms as the nearest solution to the
problem of replacing Cronin.
He is not so fast nor rangy as Larry,
who will wage real fight for the

given him the call over the former

Camp-Drop Decisions Blues and Albany

Five runs were made of Cohen,
But In justice to him it must be
stated that his support was faulty.
Four errors were made back Of him
and, would you believe it, two were
made by Ossie Bluege in one
inning.
It was a tough day for short
stops. for the Albany incumbent of
the position was no marvel.
Heinie Manush, Joe Kuhel and
Fred Schultz were among the band
battling Albany. The first two
went five frames, but Schultz
travelled q route. Thomas, after
his pitching term, went to right
field so Frank Mcdonald, first
basing youngster sent here by Al
bany for inspection, could be tested
at first base. It looks as II Kuhel's
Job Is safe.
Johnnie Kerr, with q single and q
dubious double, was the Nationals

of the day were earned by Hack

fielder got o double and three sim

Hack from the big show, but he

VX7HEN the ankle action becomes
'" free, however, Kuhel still must
continue the extra workouts in
order to build up the calf of the leg.
While the ankle girth increased as the
fracture healed, the calf girth de-
creased through disuse. Enlarging the
lower leg muscles will not be difficult,
Martin says.
The mended ankle now Is about
down to natural size. 1t has decreased
In girth more than an inch in the
less than three weeks Kuhel has been
at camp. With more than three weeks
to go before the pennant race starts,
the calf will be built up sufficiently
to make the leg capable of withstand
ing the strain of daily playing.
Although he has not done much hit
ting IN the exhibition games, Kuhel
says the ankle stiffness does not bother
him at the plate. Nor does it appear
to do so. Joe takes his natural stance
and swings with vigor. His failure to
hit Is due more to poor timing Of his
swing than anything else. The ailing
ankle is not throwing him off his bat
ting stride.
1t does slow him up afield and on

long If Mike Martin and Kuhel him.

THE SPORTZIGHT
Lou Hopes to Make 1t 1000 in Row;
Gomez Record Rated Best for 1884.
BY GRANTLAND RICE,

ut. PETERSBURG, Fla, March
- 25.-In the general hullabaloo
surrounding Babe Ruth and
Dizzy Dean. Mickey Cochrane
and Schoolboy Rowe, a pair Of rather
important details seem to have been
overlooked. These two details operate
under the names of Lou Gehrig and
Lefty Gomez, the Yankee aces.
Some time back. Ty Cobb and Babe
Ruth suggested that the iron in ball
players was giving out, compared to
the 20-year stars from other decades.
They overlooked Lou Gehrig, who is
an iron mine in his own right. Lou
broke in with the Yankees early In
the campaign Of 1925. and he hasn't
missed an engagement since.
It takes plenty In the way OF
iron to travel 10 years and some
1904 consecutive ball games
without missing q show. 1t takes
an iron horse.
How much farther does Mr.. Gehrig
of Columbia and the Yankees expect
to 60 before blowing performance?
I'D like to make it 1000 In a row, u
Lou says, "but I've been pretty lucky
to get this far. And I'm not going to
take any chances with an injury if
happen to get one. Anyway, it will
take somebody 10 years to beat that
1904 string"
That makes 1t different. It takes
only a fifth or tenth of a second
to break the 100-yard mark. 1t takes
only an inch to break jumping and
vaulting records.
But when a rival has to look II
years or more ahead before he car
shatter a set mark. the chances are
he soon will get discouraged.
