The Story
 of a Girl Compelled
 By Fate TO Reject The Man She Loved
CHAPTER \

THE annual Spring Frolic | at the Green Hills Inn was in progress. Every per son-young or old-Who was of any social value in Green Hills was at the Inn, the men trim and debonair in spot less tails and tux, the women glamorous and luxurious in gleaming velvets and glitter ing metal cloths.
 For Green Hills was one of the smartest suburbs within the metropolitan New York area, and the first spring dance at the Inn was unquestionably the gal a event of the season.
 By eleven-thirty the party was in full sway, and the stag line, fortified by just the proper number of Scotch and sodas, was performing in splendid form.
 The women of Green Hills were proud of them. Perhaps little later there would be those who might weaken-some to seek rest for weary feet in the smoking room downstairs, some to fall into the gentle unconsciousness which one too many Scotch induces. But as yet the evening was unspoiled.
 Hal Stewards orchestra, im- ported from three weeks en- gagement on Broadway, swung into the lively strains of "A Fine Romance" The older women took heart; they preferred these faster tunes The quick rhythm stirred their blood: it proved that they could step around just as lively as the 18-year-old girls, despite grown children at home.
 Millie Sanders, frisking by in the dIulo O1 OC11y OOIAA1oVOAl, S4dAASCO over her shoulder at Jerry's wife, Laura.
 Who's that lovely blond with Bob Andrews?" she asked Laura eXcitedly, slowing Jerry down so that she might catch the answer.
 "Mr. Hendry's secretary, I'm told" Laura replied. I've never seen her before"
 Isn't she lovely? Jerry, don't you think she's lovely? Look, that blond girl dancing with Bob . :"
 Jerry looked. He saw a slim, golden-haired girl, and even to his untrained masculine eye it seemed fitting that she should be dressed in rich black velvet, una dorned save for the gardenias at her shoulder. Her eyes were bright. clear blue, and the depth of their color contrasted vividly with the fairness of her skin. She looked to Jerry like a girl who had just stepped out of some rare old painting, too delicate for this mad whirl of dancing.
 0A1N DCoOVyy oAA 1A5llg, IlC assured Millie enthusiastically. And much as I hate to break your faithful old heart, Millie, I think I'll park you over here by the palms and cut in on her my self"
 Millie laughed good-naturedly. 'You're not the only one think ing that. Every eye on the stag line is following her, but Bob keeps out of the way. You haven't chance. Jerry. Better be con- tented with me for a while"
 MilIie was right. Every time Bob Andrews approached the south end of the room, where the men were gathered, a dozen pair of eyes tried to catch his, a dozen hands started upward to attract his attention. But each time, he adroitly changed his course.
 After his tenth failure to cut in, Jimmy MacArthur looked dis gusted.
 What's the matter with An- drews tonight?" he asked Philip Hendry, standing alongside of him. "Is he afraid we'll eat her?"
 Philip shrugged carelessly. "It's plain to see," he remarked, with touch of superiority, that he be-

Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1938-07-14

are two of the brightest social events
of the season.
They are the melting pots of base
ball during the summer months, just
like the National Association meeting
in the winter fills that duty during
the off-season. The Majors really
absorb most of the limelight during
the winter sessions but in the sum-
mer the two identities are divided
more of treat for the average fan
to sit on the inside huddles than it
would be to see the actual game.
Rival managers rub elbows and
skulls. They try to talk each other
out of a desirable trade. There is a
luncheon at noon, all the baseball
writers of the league get together in
the afternoon, there is a dinner at
night with Babbitry running riot in
speeches about how good fellow the
other guy is, 1--WE are having the best
year we ever had" etc.
Baseball is the strangest thing. You
may see runner 60 into second base
with spikes flashing high. He is try
ing to kick the ball out of the base
mans hand, he is trying to break up
a double play. The baSeman may tag
the runner on the head if he gets a
chance, he may put the ball on force
fully enough to provoke fist fight.
But that night may be the get
together night and this runner and
baseman will get together, tell each
other their mutual problems and woes.
They will discuss the strong points of
rival players and, if a rival player
is on a pennant-bound club, they
will give each other tips on how to
pitch to him, how to play him, etc.
There is no sport so catty as base
ball Talk about your old women.
If a player has a personal vice or
weakness, it's heard about all around
the circuit If So and Sos wife is
stepping out, that becomes general
property. If Joe Doakes is having a
bit of trouble at home the other teams
find it out and hard-bitten Jockey
will bring it into tongue-play.
A favorite crack at a former major
Lacquer is "say, how long were you
in -'s lap?" Or, you've got to
hustle just the same in this league
as up there. And how about the time
you popped off to Bob Feller?" These
are milk samples, you understand
This being a God-fearing, clean
typed publication, the original ex-
pressions are barred.
It's fun sitting on an all-star bench
There are players from every club
clad in their own uniforms, sitting
together and roofing for each other
You see the star shortstop from one
club throw a double play to the pivot
man who is the crack second-sacker
of another team. These fellows may
have tried to murder each other tC
break up double plays, but here they
are combining in one.
Ted Williams has been verbally
gored all around the Association. And
yet, in play at Indianapolis, one OF
his worst teasers, Burt Shotton OF
Columbus, hollers, "Come on, Ted
old boy. Give us one of your spe-
cialities. Yon can do it."
That's baseball.
