prevent him from getting to her.
And was sure meeting with him
would kill her. I was in agony ev-
cry time he was there for fear
Flora would hear his voice
Again silence. Margaret saved
atrick from asking the question
that hung almost visibly on his
lips. She went on. Ace Blaskie
made love to Flora when she was
d slip of a girl. She fell in love
with him. She loved him with her
whole heart and mind and soul
And when he transferred his af-
fections to a mere light-of-love in
Marshbanks, it nearly killed her.
She was never the same girl after
wards. She never recovered from
that. She has loved Ace Blaikie all
her life. She loves him still. She
can't help loving him. But she
hates him too. Of course 1 hate

1t seemed to me that the entire
town turned out to Ace Blaikie' S
funeral. 1t was held in the white
/ vine covered church, the most spa
cious in town. The service was
brief When the pall-bearers bore
the fower-wreathed coffin out of

like a dreary wind, ran through the

Looking Upward

It is a good thing to believe, it is
a good thing to admire. BY contin-
ually looking upwards, our minds
will themselves grow upwards; as
a man, by indulging in habits OF
scorn and contempt for others, is
sure to descend to the level of those
he despises. 1t is better in some re-
spects to be admired by those with
whom you live, than to be loved by
them. And this is not on account
Of any qualification of vanity, but
because admiration is so much
more tolerant than love.-Sir Ar
thur Helps.

Gus Suhr. the Pirate slugger, was

RY NIGHTFALL the two singles
finalists and the two doubles
teams will have been determined. with
nothing more to do than wait for the
championship matches in both events
at 2 and o'clock tomorrow afternoon
And should Colvin and Keiles fall

Markey- Phillips and Mather match
the last of the out-of-town con-
testants would be out of the picture,
for Colvin and Lieut.. John McCue,
the last remaining survivors in singles
play were eliminated yesterday. Col
win fell before Latona in three hard
sets. 60, ST, Ga, while McCue
became another of Welsh's victims in
straight sets, 6-3, 60.
Mitchell was the last to reach the
semis. when recovery of his form
which local fans delighted in watch
ing several years back enabled him to
rally to trim McElvenny, 7-9. 81,

The exits OF Colvin and McCue

visitors, four of the eight seeded were

Welsh Strong Fayarite.

IN the lace OF what was shown yes
~ terday. Welsh remains a prohibi-
tive favorite to win his third success
sive District championship and be-
come the only man to retire the Dunn
barton cup. the winners trophy which
has not been won more than once by
any other champion. The Rockville
Rambler is in the best shape of his
career and his condition enables him
to cover court like no other man in
the tournament. At one stage of the
match with McCue yesterday, he ran
off IA straight points in row.
He figured to receive a stiff fight
from Latona today, as the District
playground instructor has been play
ing a different brand of tennis than
he showed in 1885. Few we're his
errors yesterday as he turned back
the last of the invaders, but his
physique does not enable him to stand
up under a long set as Barney can.
Odds on the Mitchell-Lynch match
were quoted at 5-4, and take your
choice. Dooly, in his last two matches
against Judd and McElvenny, has
been cracking them like the Mitchell
of old. and his back-hand drives
down the sidelines are carrying plenty
of steam. Whether he can cope
with Lynch, who, like Welsh. is in
superb condition, remains to be seen
Lynch has one weakness, a tendency
to run around his backhand, but his
forehand drive carries more power
than that of any other man in the
city. with the possible exception of
Welsh.

never had cause to regret the move
Next to Johnny Stone, the first
base.nan packs more sheer power in
his batting stroke than anybody on
the Washington club. In 1888 he
drove across 108 runs. Not until this
campaign has he resembled the same
batter.
Now he's shooting to better
his record of I08 runs driven
across and it looks as if Joe is
going to score bulls-eye.
Less than half of the campaign
has passed into the records and Kuhel
today is ahead of his 1888 runs

In this department he easily tops
the Nationals and, TO show his ver-
satility, Joey is second in scoring runs,
second in making most hits. tied for
second in doubles. second in betting
triples and tied with Stone in the
manufacture of home runs.
Those who care to fling posies to

IT is to be hoped by every ink
stained wretch in the local press
box that Kuhels current punching
of American League pitching has no
connection, other than being COIN
cidence, with the June episode when
Joe was all for rendering to humanity
great favor by punching the city's
sportswriters. Lest some may think
this department is dragging skeletons
from closets, let it be said that Kuhel
and the typwriter Dangers long since
have smoked the pipe of peace.

took a drag and passed 1t

should have ended.
Hence it's all in fun, this estab-

the 300 mark in batting. At least
the local press, without pointing an
accusing finger at anybody. should
hope it's in fun For before the feud
Kuhel was hitting 291. Since the
feud that's dead joey has hit cool
.355.
1t has to be a coincidence. though.
In the first place, even when the
season opened, it was evident that
Kuhel was a new ball player-more
determined and willing to strike out
oftener If it meant putting everything
he's got into a longer, more-powerful
swing.
The squirt from .291 to 307,
his present pace, was inevitable.
In the second place a sportswriter
f1atters himself to think he could
hold any such influence as to produce
a 1855 batting average. II he did
he wouldn't have to beat on set
of KEYS to make a living.
