TrOjans Open Against Tampa
All-StarS Tomorrow At 800
BY OSCAR L. MILAN

Earl Adams, the lanky baseball
pilot who brought the Trojans
from the cellar to second-half
pennant winners in the city
league, will trot out his Red Dew
lis against the strong Tampa ag-
gregation tomorrow afternoon at
800 o'clock at Trurnbo Fields
Putting his boys through a
strenuous drill each afternoon,
Manager Adams states that the
Trojans are ready for action.
Arriving late this afternoon the
Tampa club will rest tonight
and go out for a little work out
in the morning. Manager Fabian
is not certain as to who he will
start on the mound but it would
probably be Evelio Martinez, a
young and promising pitcher, who
has good stuff behind his deliv-
cries.

Sinister Stress

A ND then occurred that incident
"A upon which so much stress
was laid at a later and more sim
lister time. Alix Lissey, upon CATCH
ing sight of Duncan, had sprung
up with sudden animation. and
had almost run to meet him. She
reached him just as Tuck turned
away. perhaps a dozen feet from
the edge of the group. Her first
words brought back that dark
sullen look to his face. His blue
eyes were black, and his mouth
tight and hard. She took his arm,
and led him off to the corner of
the house, and there she spoke
for several minutes with force
and vehemence. No one could have
heard her. Her voice, as was
pointed out later, was kept sus-
piciously lowered. Duncan lis
tened: and then be glanced quick
ly at the rest, spoke one sentence
10 her angrily. and left her.
The rest of the party had ar
ranged itself in an attitude for
tea. Tuck poured almost absently.
The men passed the cups and the
bread and butter, and later the
little cakes. Afterward, in re-
Numbering, Tuck knew that Dun
can Murchison had certainly
helped with the rest. She would
have been so happy to say def
nitely that he had not, that only
Jared Devoe had. Jared Devoe
was thoroughly Objectionable in
his oily. unctuouS way. But he
had not been the only one. All OF
them, - Michael, Duncan, Mr.
Deane, and DR.. McBain had
helped.
