stable.
Later, when Rothstein learned
he had lost his crack Splinter, he
paid the recalcitrant owner a
healthy advance to sell the horse
back to him. Then Gladiator step.

in a row-with Rothstein winning
back the cost of redeeming him

occurred on the last day Of the

Gets Entry Price
If the horse is sold the owner
gets only what his Steed was en-

horse, he must pay the difference
between entered and selling prices
for the privilege of keeping the
critter. The surplus, or differ

claims to a possible pennant by
their improved lineup which has
taken on a new lease Of life since
several changes were made in it
q week or ten days ago.
The whole thing started when
"Nelie" Harrington, catcher, broke
his finger. A new catcher had to
be found and he was gained in
the person Of Randy Clark, who
was the >cond sacker of the
team before Harrington's injury.
OF course this left a vacancy at
second base. "Whal" Osborne,
Short-stopper, was shifted from
that position to second while
Larry VILLAINS, right fielder, was
brought from the outfield to the
Short-Stop post which position he's
filled in sensational style.
TONIC NEEDED
These changes seemed to be
just the tonic the team needed.
For last Sunday the first half
champs, Cabin John, were de.
feated, 9 to 3 and defeated good
and proper with Fremont Con.
nerS pitching four-hit ball.
This Sunday, the North Wash.
1ngtons hope to keep up the good
work when they engage the TA.
koma Tiger Nine on the District
Line diamond at 3 p. m. The ii.
gers, a new entry in the league,
are leading the pack at present
with two victories as against no
losses.
The North Washingtons believe
they have the power and balance
now to upset the Tigers. They
point to the remainder Of the
lineup as proof.

It includes Jack Nicely, all-high
third sacker and a star at RooSe.

Oh yes! Grubb is quite a show
man, too. He has arranged to
run a horse race between the
games. The race will be for one
mile. This, says Grub, is in
cluded with the admission price
of the twin bill.
Edwards Star
Eddie Edwards may be getting
up in years but he still can play
ball for any Sandlot manager in
Washington.
Yesterday the spark plug Of the
local Printers, pounded out four
hits in six trips to plate, enabling
his team to defeat Indianapolis
team, 81 to 7, in the international
Union Printers baseball tourna'
ment now in progress at CleVe
land.
Edwards, who makes his home
in Alexandria, Va, has been one
of the standout players on the
local Sandlots for a long time.
George Mosedale, who can play
the outfield as well as he car
pitch, hurled the Washingtonians
to a 6-to-5 victory over Cincin
natl in the second game Of Their
doubleheader. MoSedale allowed
eight hits and struck out three.

was almost impossible. But 10
did manage one question while
she held with both hands to the
door.
''D-do you think we'll find
him."
Eyes straight ahead, Barston
hunched his shoulders. "lf we

:" His ensuing silence was dis
couragingly expressive.
Soon they were in slight of the
air field. Barston'S plane had
been wheeled from the hangar. 1t
was tiny. snub-nosed, almost like
a child's toy. 10 remembered that
this was Barston's special ship,
designed by him to create new
speed record as an advertising
stunt for a public utilities COM
pany. Although he did not need
its speed for ordinary flying he
had kept the plane for his pri-
waite use.
As they walked across the field
Barston said, "This job has
plenty of what it takes to get
there, 10. Pm going to give her
whatever you can stand. If the
speed gets too much for you just

10 nodded. 81 hope | can take

In another moment she was in
the cockpit, seated so low that
her head was about even with
the edge. Ahead she could glimpse
the helmet of the taller Barston,
and without a reassuring glance
he began taxing across the field.
Suddenly the plane plunged into
the air so swiftly that JOS head
shot back against the cushion.
She had never dreamed of such
breathless speed. 1t was almost as
if the law of gravity had been
reversed and the plane was div
ing instead of climbing. They had
hardly cleared the tops Of the
trees when Barston leveled out, in
creasing his speed. JOS heart was
fiercely, and despite
the cowling she seemed to have
breathing. Was she
this, or was she really
going to be unable to stand the
terrific speed of this snub-nosed
ship? In sudden panic she Won

sure hands. He had said the
weather was bad off the coast,
but thus far they were flying
against a binding afternoon sun
and the air was clear as crystal.
Soon they were over a sheet
OF glass which was the ocean. 1t
reflected back the binding SUM-,
and in all that expanse 10 saw
not one dot which might be a
ship.
She leaned toward Barstons
ear. ''Do you have any idea at
ali what course to take?"
He nodded, spoke loudly over
the roar of the motors. I'm get

We'll try the radio telephone. "
He pointed through the wind
shield of the cabin. "Fog COM
ing"
In a moment they were in it.,
thick and heavy, a seemingly
impenetrable mass. 10 grew
afraid, and she hardly knew why.
The sun went weak, then seemed
to leave them altogether-leave
them suspended in a huge gray
cloud that had no beginning and
no end.
After what to 10 seemed hours
of flying, Barston clamped head
phones to his helmet, began
speaking into the transmitter.
She read his lips rather than
heard him saying, over and over
again: "Barston calling Yacht
Juno" Over and over he gave his
position and called Marsh's yacht.
But nothing happened-nothing
except the fog and drone of the
motors-until 10 sank back
against the seat in weary disap-
pointment.
Suddenly Barston sat more
erect; throttling down the ship
and motioning excitedly to 10.
He called again, then listened, his
face breaking into happy grin.
"Stand by, he yelled into the
mouthpiece. "I'm landing, Juno.
Stand by to receive valuable
cargo"
10 felt the big plane circling
cautiously, and within a few mo-
ments she was startled to see the
lights of a ship in the fog.
"Send out your TENDER" Bar
ston called again. Then, quite
suddenly, the motors stopped. and
10 felt the pontoons strike the
water hard. She had to hold tight
to the seat to keep from being
pitched against Barston with the
roll of the sea.
They're sending out a power

through the fog-misted glass Of
the cabin. His voice was queer. 1t
was tired and husky.
"Will you be able to get into

dow. "Sure . sure, I'll make
