mission, but she realized that she
had no reason to believe that Sarah
would try to murder her or frighten
her Anyway, there was no possible
way for the theatrical magnate's
daughter to gain entrance into the

Robert, thinking the matter over,
finally insisted that the police be

it was safe, and offered his own
hospitality If the girls were fright

own bed.

Brooklyn. fired up by a double
loss to the Bees before the ALL

get back on top and stay there, shot
the works in an attempt to win
but the mastery of Bucky Walters
was not to be denied. His five-hit
performance gave the Reds vital
edge in the Cincinnati-Brooklyn
seasonal series-7 games to 6.
That put the Reds out in front
by game and a half and made the
third-place Giants. who beat st.
Louis. 8-6. in an thinning strug-
gle, just that much closer to the

hits, a walk and two errors by
