De Shong Wins No. IL.

- SAAS4NS, Vic yOuQR
pitcher who came from the Yanks
was another individual to merit at
tention today. To Jimmy fell credit
for becoming the first Washington
pitcher to win more than a dozen
games. De Shong becoming heir to his
thirteenth victory yesterday.
. The young right handler deserved
his laurels. He stopped the Yanks
with eight hits while he and his mates
pounded Red Rufing and Ted Klein
hans from the slab and continued
their assault on Walter Brown.
The Mats took a 2-to-1 lead at the
end of the first inning and, chiefly
aided by home run by Buddy Lewis.
boosted the count to to / in the
second frame. Thereafter, runs poured
across steadily. Everybody in the
Washington lineup made at least one
hit, with Travis. Kress and Miles
leading the attack with three safeties
apiece.
It was quite hump for De Shong
TO get over. After he had won IL
games, Jimmy ran into considerable
trouble in trying to get No. 13. Now
that 1t has been gained, De Shong
hopes the rest won't come so hard
So do the Mats.

Kress is Real Hero.


R ED is slow moving and every time
he is placed at one position his
slowness afoot causes Griffith and
Bucky to wish and look for replace
ment. They say Kress isn't a day
in-and-day-out player, but certainly
nobody can deny that If a handyman
championship ever is held, Red would
be serious contender.
He is peculiar type Of player.
Always creating sensations when he
takes over job. He did it last year
to win the shortstop job. This season
he took over second base and nobody
could get him out. After a time at
. position Red seems to fall into q
rut, but there is no denying that no
matter where or when he is shifted
to post he is a pretty good ball
player.
He took another new lease on life
yesterday. for instance, when he hit
two singles and double, scored two
runs, drove across three more and
played a fiawless game in the field,
Verify, it seems it would be wise for
Harris to keep Kress fitting from post
to post.

She looks like Snow Queen!"
I said.
Almost Immediately on Molly's

he was in his medieval way, almost
as striking as Ace in his Roman

although I suppose have seen
hundreds of specimens in the gal
leries of Europe
I hadn't the remotest idea who
he was. He was superb, though!
Yet the combination of black mail
and black mask made him a little
sinister. Even Sylvia did not at
first identify him. He fascinated
her, however, as he fascinated me.
We both watched him. And then
suddenly. with a little ecstatic
start of recognition, Sylvia whis.
pered, tOh I know now who it is!
It's Walter Treadway!"
My first sensation was Of thrill,
romantic thrill, delighted thrill. But

I believed, spoken, had not seen
each other, since they broke their
engagement. Did they recognize
each other now?
I whispered close to Sylvia's ear,
Remember, darling, that you are
not to tell anybody but me who
these people are"
"Oh, of course!" Sylvia declared
with emphasis, Il won't tell any
body. I wouldn't like anybody to
tell who l was. I don't believe any
body will guess who I am"
I reassured her on this point. I

she did not identify every mask.
Unlike me, she did not know ev-

there were some who were strang-

people brought house guests. But
my intimates she recognized in

performance.
The room had, of course, filed

out on the wide piazzas. The pro-

the vacuum of that first half hour
had broken into laughter and talk.

to watch them and with varying
emotions. Molly Eames-with all
her golden gayety-was not a
person of whom you asked person
al questions. There was one ques.
ton that all Satuit would have liked
to ask her. Why had she thrown
Walter over? They had seemed to
be passionately in love. They had
seemed to be perfectly matched.
And yet, suddenIy-and apparently
for no reason-she had broken with
him, and Walter had Immediately
lefs town. A few months later she
announced her engagement to Ace
BIaikie. Ace Blaikie who was my
! contemporary, who was, in age,
more than twice her twenty-five
years! Ace Blaikie who had start
ed, before she was born, flirting
with all the pretty women in the
county and who had never, except
for his absence during the World
war, ceased to f1irt with them. Wal
ter had never entered Satuit since
his departure a year before. I
had not known that he had re-
turned.
There was one more notable en-
trance before the Tlnmasking: this
time pair-man and woman. They
wore costumes of the Revolution
ary period; the woman in a full
skirted gown of the palest yellow
satin. trimmed with lace; a wig
of high-piled yellow hair, from
which fell onto her neck two long
curls. The man wore lilac satin.
Being something of a connoisseur
both of old lace and old paste, I
noticed the fineness of the Chantilly
ruffles which trimmed her gown
and the old rose-point which fell
from his neck and wrists; the an.
tique preciousness Of their paste
her necklace and earrings; his
ruff1e-pin and shoe buckles.
I should have guessed at once;
I should have recognized a certain
trained quality in the movement
of the woman, a certain ceurtliness
in the bearing of the man. Yet it
was not until Sylvia said. Doctor

The unmasking came some time

Blaikie. We knew the next day
that Ace Blaikie left it to walk to
his death.

Why Not Change Your Mind?!
Absolute Consistency Cannot
Be Compatible With Growth

sistency cannot be compatible.
And that is growth. The person
with an open mind who wants
to keep on growing cannot pos
sibly always feel the same about
everything today as he did five
years ago, or even last week.
Experiment frequently changes
ones viewpoint, experience ones
views. Learning by our mistakes
frequently involves complete
right about face in opinion or ac-

such experience and growth, an
inconsistency is nothing to be
ashamed of.
