Hitting the high spots in vale,
sports.
FL Centre high schools Spar.
tan basketball team bowed out O
the CIF. playoffs Friday night
and a superior St Augustine cage
squad advanced to the semi-finals..
The Spartans wound up a season
IN which they lost only five games
The outstanding record made
by El Centre high school quintet
in recent years Patience on
the part of Coach Larry Hanson
and the hard work of fifteen squad
members were responsible for the
results obtained
Hansen presented the fundamen-
tails and the players spent the en-
tire season in perfeding those
vital requirements for a winning
basketball team Friday night
the Central cagers ran up against
the smootheSt prep school quintet
in the state. club that will win
the CIF playoffs. So the defeat was
not a disgrace
standings TO first That's the
aim of the Seattle Indians, train
ing in the El Centre ball park .. .
And the rise is not entirely impos-
sible
The Indians will present one of
the hardest hitting clubs in the
league Their pitching is not
able with Barrett, Gregory. Pickrel.
Nusser. Osborn and Turpin to carry
the load Rookie pitches on the
roster are shaping up well and
two or three may make the grade
as regular hurlers before the end
of the season
Against San Diego Friday af-
ternoon the Indians put on their
hitting togs and pounded out a VIC
tory behind the steady hurting OF
Nusser and Osborn . Today and
Sunday against Portland should
see the big guns, Hunt and Muller,
begin to hit the ball D.. And when
those boys start clouting, the eX-
pense of lost balls over the left
field fences will mount but
don't think Manager Jack LelVelt
will worry much about that
Jack Lelivelt. new manager OF
the Seattle club, is another OF the
first generation in America" who
made good in baseball in big way.
His parents were born in Amster-
dam. Holland. Lelivelt, Jack says
translated into Dutch. means a
field of lilies In the line OF her
aldry it waS suggested to Owner
Emil G. Sick that a suitable es-
cutcheon for the uniforms Of the
Seattle players would be a field OF
lilies in silhouette on the blouses
of the athletes. But Sick contenoeo
that this would be no suitable en-
bellshment for a bunch Of raw
meat Indians. And Secretary Ralph
w. Allen protested that after SID
ing into a base a player is often
living prone on his back, ana ne
wouldn't look so hot IN tnat
position with a cluster Of lilies on
his massive chest. So the idea Is
apparently out.
The first Pacific Coast league
pass for 1898 is on its way to Wash
ington. D. c., with an invitation
for President Roosevelt to attend
one of the opening games in the
circuit. President W c. Tuttle dis
patched the pass. an ornate affair
and the invitation. Sending the
chief executive the initial pass OF
the year is an old baseball custom
in all leagues. 1t dates back to
soon after the Civil war.

His tone was gruff, as though by employing his own pretenSe he could change things back again as they had been.
 "No," Connie said. I'm not laughing at you, Bret. Don't make it more difficult for me, darling"
 T - make it difficult for you! I am laughing now" His laugh was bitter You were laughing at me then. That day we met, you pretended to pretend to be Miss Corby when I asked you to have dinner. You've been laughing at me ever since, every day, when you played at working in the camp office, when we walked into the hills to- gether, when told you I loved you, when kissed your lips ."
 No. mol" Connie cried. That isn't true. That wasn't pretending! That wasn't pretending! That was the truest thing that ever happened to me. The other you won't even let me explain, you won't try 
 member, Bret" her tone, her eyes were pleading, you said that first day that you knew that Constance Corby could not be happy? You said happiness was the one thing money could not buy. That was why ran away, what tried to find, the sort of happiness that I had never had. You can't blame me for that, dar- ling, you should be willing to for give, to understand"
 But you could have told me" he said. He held his head between his hands, not looking at her. You need not have pretended with me"
 q know that now" She must not expect him to forgive too quickly. She never doubted that he would, once his shock and hurt was numbed. But I didn't then. know now I should have told you much sooner. But it need not make any difference between us!" she added eagerly. If he would look at her, if he had not with drawn his hand.
 No" he said, still not looking up, the only difference it makes is that there is nothing between us any more"
 Bret! You can't mean that! I'm just the same. You're just the same. We love each other"
 He said, q loved a girl I met on a bus, a girl who worked in my office. I loved Katie Blyn Why. don't you see, that isn't even your name! I don't know you, at all. I wouldn't know what to call you.' I couldn't ask the richest girl in the world to be my wife.
 But you have asked mel" Connie said. Bret - look at mel You can't look at me and not know I'm the same girl you fell in love with, the girl you asked just minute ago to be Mrs. Breton Hardesty. You told me - that it would make no differ ence to you who or what was. You told me our love was to be forever and ever and ever" She put her hands up to her face now, tears ran down her cheeks, her slight figure shook with sobs.
 He turned as though he would take her in his arms to comfort her. He shook himself, as though awakening from a bad dream, got

to his feet. I'm sorry, Ka = Miss Corby." His tone still was gruff, but his mouth was set in a line of determination. I'm sorry for you I'm sorry for myself. It's not that I don't understand, forgive you. do - gladly. But you must see that it is impossible for us to go on pretending. The play is finished. The curtains down"
 You mean :" Connie raised her head, looked at him through blue eyes misty with tears, yet with that air of pride and defiance that was an integral part of her, you mean everything is over - between us? Our lovely secret romance, our plans, when your bridge is finished Oh, Bret, you can't mean that!"
 q mean" Bret said, and now he looked at her, and her own glance dropped before the misery and the suffering in his, that if you'd been any one else - but what's the good of more pretense? We might as we'll face facts. We can't be mar ried, you and I - Bret Hardesty, who has worked all his life for his bread and butter; Constance Cor by, who has never had anything but luxury. Our worlds are miles apart. We are as different as night and day, black and white. We could never find happiness, hold on to it, make it last forever and ever. That's why this must be the end"
 So, once more the weight of all those millions, rested on the slen- der shoulders of the girl who was Constance Corby again.
 Had her grandfather, she her. self, Bret, been right when each had said there was no purchase price for happiness?
