GR|FF WILL NOT
SIGN C 0 S | | NJ
FOR 1888 TEAM
By FRANK BUCK" oNEILL

-
President Clark C. Griffith is
busy these days conferring with
architects, writing the 1888 con-
tracts for the Griffs, which will be
mailed some time shortly after the
New Year, and ribbing Calvin Grit
fifth and Joe Cronin about their
golf.
Griff plans to make some minor
changes in Griffith Stadium. He
will build more modern and more
commodious refreShment stands
and will make other changes to
add to the comfort Of his patrons.
No changes are planned in the
seating capacity Of the park.
There will be no change in
policy concerning concessions at
the park. Beer, which is advertised
at great cost to the distributors,
will not be on sale within the sta
dium, nor will liquor, advertised at
NO small expense, be countenanced.
Battling, but true. If it's wrong to
sell alcoholic drinks, it should be
wrong to permit, at a tidy fee,
their exploitation.
Griff would not discuss the con-
tracts Of the players. Some will be
cut, as usual, and it Is likely that
final negotiations will take place
in Orlando VIII en- the holdoutS

CHAPTER III

Greg went into the dining room
and ate good dinner, surprised to
find that it was we'll on toward eight
o'clock. Why, it had been still day
light when he took that girl to the
hospitall
While he ate he was thinking
about the hospital. He remembered
various bronze tablets he had seen
about on the walls as he waited for
his receipt to be signed at the office.
Why wouldn't it be nice thing
for him to endow one of those rooms
so it could be used for strangers?
He could put up a tablet on the
door with his mothers name, a me-
mortal to her.
The idea made him quite happy.
and after he had finished his dinner
he went out and walked beside the
fountain in the little park, strolling
past the bench where the girl had
sat. even sitting down upon it a
moment to wonder why she had sat
there, and what had happened that
had brought her into such a sorrow
full situation.
AS he got up his foot struck
against something in the grass,
something soft and yielding that
slid across the pavement as he hit
it.
He stopped and picked it up won
deringly. 1t was a flat purse with
a strap across the back. one of the
kind that most girls carried. 1t had
a look of thinness about it that be-
tokened nothing inside. He took it
over and stood beneath the arc
light studying it and turning it over
thoughtfully. Could that belong to
the girl he had picked up, and could
she possibly have dropped it as she
fell?
1t proved to be absolutely empty
save for thin letter addressed to
Miss Margaret McLaren. 1856 Rod
man street, that city. There wasn't
even a penny in the little middle
purse that obviously was meant for
change. His heart went out with
pity toward the poor child, for he
felt absolutely certain that this
pocketbook belonged to the girl he
had picked up in the park.
He studied the envelope carefully.
Where would Rodman street be?
He looked at the letter again I'M
certainly. 1t was postmarked Yer
mont but the town was so blurred it
was unreadable. Ought he perhaps
to know what was in that letter?
Well, not yet anyway. If he could
find her people nothing else was his
affair.

Greg burst hatless into the street.
Meantime crowd had suddenly
gathered and were staring. The
clerk Of the hotel came out and
looked across to the park.
Greg gave one wild look around
and gathered her up into his arms.
Get me taxi!" ne ordered.
A boy dashed out into the road
and stopped taxi. A shabby man
hurried to the fountain and filed his
hat full Of water from the basin.
A woman walking through the park
produced bottle of smelling salts.
Greg wet his handkerchief in the
hat and wiped the girls forehead
and lips. He let the woman hold
the bottle Of smelling salts under
her nostrils, and they were reward
ed by long. slow, trembling breath
from the girl, and then a lifting of
the fringes of the eyelids just for
fleeting instant that showed great,
dark, troubled eyes.
But Greg saw the taxi draw up at
the curb, and he swept them all
aside and carried his burden over.
He got in with her in his arms.

ordered. and they whirled away,

What to Do With SuccOtash
CUCCOTASH is a combination of
- cream style corn and lima
beans. 1t is an American dish,
having come to us from the In
dians of this country, and its popu-
larity has lasted through the
years. Today it is possible to buy it
in the canned form, and while it is
good served hot with salt, pepper
and butter, as was the custom
years ago, it is equally good, and
many times more appealing, if
made into different dishes.
Succotash is excellent to use in
filling stuffed peppers and in max
ing souffles and scalloped dishes,
but this time the suggestion is
especially for succotash chowder.
If you have not tried it, do so and
you will find yourself well repaid
for the time and energy spent.

the onion is a light brown. Add
the succotash and about a cupful
of water. Cover the pan and
simmer until the potatoes and car
rots are tender. Season with salt
and pepper. Meantime, make the
medium white sauce and add it to

GET READY FOR
WINTER DRIVING

No section of our population is
more dependent upon the autOmo-
bile as a means of transportation
than the residents of the smaller
communities and rural districts.
Yet each Fall, many car own
ers cause themselves a great deal
of trouble and expense by neglect
ing one or all of the simple yet
necessary steps to assure proper
operation of the car in Winter
weather.
A minimum Winter protection
program should cover:
l. Complete change to correct
grade of lubricants for motor,
transmission and differential.
2. Motor tuned up, including ad-
justing of carburetor, valves,
distributor, sparkplugs, genera
tor and all electrical equipment.
8. Drain and flush cooling system.
Refill with suitable anti-freeze
solution.
Selection of motor oil and
greases for Winter driving is par
ticularly important. You must
select an oil which will permit
easy starting, that will lubricate
the motor throughout the entire
driving range of speeds and will
continue to do so for a reasonable
mileage.
For many years Quaker State
Win4nT Oils onI CrnocAC
been recognized as the highest
quality and most generally salts
factory Winter lubricants on the
market.
Through Quaker States highly
developed methods and equipment
it is possible to produce motor
oil which will have a satisfying
body over the 400-degree range of
temperature it will meet. That
is, when the motor temperature
is way below zero, the oil will still
be Auid enough to allow the motor
to turn easily and also to flow
freely to all the bearings. Yet this
same oil has enough body to stand
up and to give the motor proper

inside the cylinder wall reaches
400 and over.
AS with any other product you
buy, you get what you pay for.
An oil of Quaker State quality is
necessarily expensive to make.
This does not mean, however, that
Quaker State is more expensive
to use. Being pure, concentrated
fabrication, it stands up longer in
service. It gives more miles per
quart and at the same time gives
the bearing surfaces safer protec-
ton.
Youwillwant to step into the car,
even when the mercury is hiding
in the bulb and press the starter
with every expectation that the
motor will start off with its usual
Summer zest. This sure starting,
plus motor protection, is only pos
sible by preparedness.-AdV.

Constipation

But It Can't
Poison You!
Say Doctors

Modern doctors now say that the old idea Of
poiscns getting into your blood from consti-
patton is BUNK. They claim that constipa-
ton swells up the bowels causing pressure on
nerves in the digestive tract. This nerve
pressure is what causes frequent bilious
spells, dizziness. headaches. upset stomach,
dull. tired-out feeling, sleepless nights. coated
tongue, bad taste and loss Of appetite.

necessary. You must GET THAT PRES

blues vanish, and life looks bright again.
That is Why so many doctors are now in
sisting on gentle but QUICK ACTION. That
IS why YOU should insist on Adlerika. This
efficient intestinal evacuant contains SEVEN
carminative end cathartic ingredients.
Adlerika acts on the stomach as well as the
entire intestinal tract. Adlerika relieves
stomach GAS at once and often removes
bowel congestion in half an hour. No
violent action. no after effects, Just QUICK
results. Recommended by many doctors
and druggists for 35 years.

''I will pay. Get her somewhere

She was on a bed at last, with a
doctor and nurse working over her.
Finally the doctor Strengthened up
and looked around.
"Hm!" said the doctor, touching
her pulse again. "A clear case of
starvation. 1 guess. That's ALL"

"You don't mean it, Not in a city

One Of the sinkholes is believed to
be under water in Misery bay. Fish
ermen report that when water is
high in the rivers they find their
boats drifting away from one spot
in the bay. When the rivers are
low their boats drift toward the
spot as though water from the lake
was being drawn through an under
ground river.
Some Of the sinkholes are dry and
others are filed with water. Local
belief is that some of the holes are
bottomless, no soundings ever hav-
ing been taken on the bottom.
AS the depth of the water remains
stationary in some despite heavy
rainfalls or local conditions, it is
presumed that the sinkholes con-
meet with underground rivers. Sto-
ries of marked logs being dropped
into sinkholes, sucked beneath the
surface and reappearing in Lake
Huron are discounted by those who
have studied the phenomena.

and beg?"
They were pressing a spoonful Of
something between the white lips
now. and the girl on the bed drew a
slow, quivering breath again and
opened her eyes for an instant.
That's it, sister," said the doctor
cheerfully. You're going to feel
better now in a minute"
"a cup Of that broth as soon as
you can get it, nurse" he said in a
low tone, keeping his finger on the
pulse. Then to Greg. who was stand
ing anxiously by:
Eyes, sir, you find 'em like this
every day. Proud as Lucifer, lost
their job, nowhere to turn. All the
worse for them if they happen to
be good"
When the broth was brought the
patient swallowed obediently but did
not open her eyes again.
"Will this nurse stay by her all
night?" Greg asked the doctor while
the nurse was feeding her the soup.
"Oh, she'll be in and out all
night" said the doctor. "You know
she has this whole hall to look out
for"
I'D like her to have someone with
her all night" said Greg. I'D feel
better that way. I feel sort of re-
sponsible because l found her. at
least till her folks get here"
"Of course you could have a
special nurse if you're willing to pay
for it," said the doctor thoughtful
ly.
I'D like to have a special nurse, 8"
said Greg decidedly.
So presently a pleasant-faced ca
pable young woman appeared and
took charge. Greg motioned her
out in the hall and talked to her in
low tones.

bench when l first saw her from

don't need to say anything about it,

to put her under any obligation.
