DETROIT WINS 81
TO CONTINUE LEAD
l9. Year-Old Rookie Southpaw
Hurls Eight Hitter
Against Champs
BY JUDSON BAILEY

NEW YORK, July 2O.-R-Ihe
hopes of the world champion Yank-
ees for getting back on the pen
nant trail were given a rude set
back today by the Detroit Tigers
who clawed out a 8 to / victory to
continue their mastery Of the
American league.
The Yanks ran afoul of eight
run hurting by Hal Newhouses, De-
troit's 19-year-old rookie southpaw,
and a persistent offensive led by
Hank Greenberg. The stugger had
a perfect day at the plate with a
triple, a double and two singles
as his contribution to the Tiger
total of 10 hits.
Ruffing Losses
The Tigers started their trouble
against Red Rufing, who gave up
n run and three hits in four in
nipgs before retiring with a sore
arm. Steve Sundra worked the rest
of the way, and Ruffing was charg-
ed with his seventh loss.
The run off Rufus the Red came
in the third inning when Red Kress
led off with a three-bagger and
eventually scored on a fly by Barn
ey McCosky. Kress and McCosky
greeted Sundra with a pair OF
doubles and a run when he came
on duty in the fifth. And in the
sixth Greenberg tripled and scor-
ed on Rudy York's long fly.
This proved the end of Detroit's
scoring, although the Tigers load
ed the bases with none out in the
eighth.
The crowd of 16, 1868 got their only
kick in the sixth when Joe Di-
Maggie extended his hitting streak
to IS consecutive contests with a
single that drove home Red Rolfe
who had singled.
The victory kept Detroit a game
and a half ahead of the Indians
and dropped the Yanks back to
five games off the pace.

CHAPTER THIRTEEN

ON SATURDAY evening Bill
Bailey had drawn his first money,
charged to expenses. With it on
Sunday he left The Oaks.
I'm going out and sniff the
winds of ballyhoo," he told Gayle
She didn't fully understand him,
but she encouraged him to go. She
herself would accompany Mr.. Mcr-
rifield, Mr.. Weems and Jeremy
to church.
Bill went to places where he
knew word got around" He him.

ing and staying at The Oaks, so he
could listen undisturbed. At the
University club he verified the fact
that upper crust society was still
INDIGNANT about the Forthcoming

match on the Montrose club courts
-swankieSt in the state-he heard
more people talking about the Mer-
rifeld Little Theater movement
than about the internationally ia
nous tennis star. All of this tickled
Bills buoyant soul.
On Monday morning Bill, back
on his job. got up early and had
the morning paper ahead of any
body else 1t was elaborate with
more news of the amateur play, but
had bare mention of the Tuesday
dance. Bill knew that Monday is
a slack period for the society sec
tons of all newspapers, and so the
afternoon dailies would likely give
generous space to the play, too.
I'll distribute the tickets first
thing after breakfast" Bill told
Gayle as soon as he found her up.
They had sauntered for a moment
on the Merrifield lawn to greet a
brilliant sun.
Where will you put them"
There are three established
places downtown-a jewelry store,
q drug store and the Last Curtain
club-where theater tickets of this
sort are sold. mean. handled for
charity, without commission. Our
expenses on this play won't be
more than S35 or so, Gayle. Wen

sort of sale"
"Oh, I hope we do. For Mr.. Mer-
rifeld's sake as much as any
thing"
Bill grinned.
He doesn't need any charity
help"
SILLY! But he Goes want to see
things succeed, see promises car
ried out. You know that. Bill"
Bill indeed did know that. It was
q nagglng realization of that, in
fact. which drove him on. when he
had impulsively planned few days
ago to chuck tie whole business of
working here and set in making
love to Gayle. He remembered, in
time, that he had made a promise
to Mr.. Merrifield. And there was
the added important fact Of his
being without funds.
While Bill was away this morn

pliers came again from two news

tesa, was saying nothing, but she
did look happy and gay. Quite I'M
consciously, Jeremy edged to be
nearer her.
In a moment, though, bubbly lit
tie Tempe Hyde was clinging to
his elbow in care-free comradeship,
and that disturbed him tremen-
dously.
Laugh, Jeremy" she command
ed. Life is not a funeral"
"Ha, ha," said Jeremy. 1t was a
mechanical ha-ha, not a laugh at
all.
Still, when he glanced self-con-
sciously around, nobody appeared
to have noticed particularly. This
relaxed him a little. He felt better.
When they had all sat gracefully
on the cool grass, and Jeremy had
tucked his rather long legs some-
how under him, he realized that he
felt a strange sense of enjoyment
in all this. The exact nature Of it
was elusive, but it was good. It
was as if he were being-Well, &C.
cepted. He was one of them. In a
gang, a group, a group of friends,
as if he belonged there! It was a
new experience to him, accustomed
to playing lone wolf in everything.
He found himself tremendously
interested in the small talk they
were constantly making. He want
ed, now, to laugh with them when
there was a merry quip, and he
daringly did so. Nothing happened!
He had laughed genuinely, and
liked it, and nobody had stared at
him in surprise. Something very
real and very precious began to
swell within him.
There was quarter-hour Of talk
about everything and nothing, GEN.
tering mainly on the dance that
night, but it was finally interrupted
by the dark girl, Lola
II theenk maybee we should re-
hearse, no?" she suggested. Lola's
voice had a delightful Spanish
flavor.
Il theenk so, Lola" Tempe
Knocked her a little, and everyone
laughed at that. "You weel be thee
heroine first, no?"
Lola agreed. She could take
Gayle's part because her own was
a comparatively small bit in act
three only. ference, he weel be
thee hero. Beers part"
Then it was that CONSERVATION
assailed Jeremy anew.
He had forgotten, momentarily,
about the kissing scene! He had
been tried already for the male
lead, had kissed Gayle Dixon three
times and, to his later shame. ran
off ANONYMOUSLY. Now here these
girls were just naturally assuming
that he would read the part again
with them and act it out as well.
His heart went humping.
IL" he started protest. but
nobody heard him.
They were suddenly all chatter
ing at once again. Jeremy had been
assigned the male lead; nobody had
even thought further about it. save
him. They were interested in their
own parts. They had much 70 say.
Coac;lings. Suggestions. Paintings.

Merriment sandwiched in. Jeremy
perceived that they were not IN the
least concerned with him or his
possible Inability TO do the male
lead acceptably here. They were, IN
short, giving him no cause TO be
embarrassed or self-consciOue.
All at once he felt ashamed of
himself.
Certainly, now, he could not run
nor refuse. They were depending on
him. He was important to them It
would be contemplate indeed if he
acted babyish, he told himself. He
was sure they knew nothing Of the
first kissing scene.
The ensuing two hours were to
be remembered by Jeremy all his
life.
He was destined to look back at
them as the grand interval, during
which he first gained a glimpse Of
genuine happiness. Not that he
quite realized the significance Of il
at the time, but even then he found
it altogether delightful.
He acted three distinct male
parts with more confidence than
he had ever imagined he could
show. reading the lines or say
ing them from memory, and he
managed somehow to kiss Lola
Montesa in the love scenes without
revealing too much emotional
stress. He was not affected by Lola
as he had been by Gayle, that first
time. For a heeting moment il did
dawn on him that Lola was beau
tiful, her lips soft and delicious.
But the matter was impersonal
now. He was in the play, in char
acter. He was also accepted as one
of a happy crowd, doing his bit
All Of this gave him a rich sense
of exaltation, strange but price
less.
So thoroughly did the expert
ence lift his soul that he was full
of it when he came unexpectedly
onto Gayle at noontime. Alone
with her moment there on the
front porch, he spoke.
IL Miss Dixon. ! want you
to know everything is grand"
She was confused at first. She
looked expectantly at him. Jeremy

IT mean-everything! People.
Everybody! Could I-would il be
all right if just called you Gayle
like the others?"
He spoke so earnestly. and the
new light shone so Enthusiastically
in his eyes now. that Gayle was
suddenly suffused with a sense OF
pity for him.
"Of course, Jeremy" she whis-
pered intimately, seriously. u %ah'

reached to touch his arm. standing
near to him.
"I-I-it's Ats a beautiful

Margaret Louise Kirby, Adele Lar
raway, Hazel Green and the quiet
somewhat strange Lola Montesa.
Lola had not wanted to pose at all;
she had showed a hint of anger at
the suggestion, in fact and only
under laughing pressure from the
others had she finally agreed. Inc
photographer found her as beauti-
full as the others, even though ne
plainly didn't like her as well.
The photographer FASTENED back
to his office then and, mechanical
efficiency being what it is in news
paperdom, the afternoon Gazette
came out with THE Merrltleld
Girls" boldly pictured in three
fourths of page. They virtually
monopolized the society section tor
that day, as they were destined TO
do in Tuesday mornings papers as
well.
Inevitably there was further dis
cussion of the play Maid to Meas
ure." The clever title seemed to fit
right in with the exquisite photos
of the girls; more and more talk
was stimulated, quite naturally.
The Gazette was read everywhere.
That and the publicity already
given the forthcoming play, the
prestige back of the Merrlheld
name and mansion, and the mex
pensive but commanding signs Bill
Bailey had left at the ticket sale
depots, began to move the tickets
as carly as 2 p, M, and at 6 o'clock
that Monday the clerk at the Last
Curtain club telephoned Bill.
Say. Mr.. Bailey, l have only
eight tickets left out of the 200 you
put here. ne announced. Can you
bring me some more?"
Bill was elated, anC so was
Gayle. They Communicated the
Merrifeld car and chauffeur imme-
diately to rush downtown and shift
some tickets from the drug store
booth. The jewellery store had
closed for the day.
Its the pictures that did IT."
Bill repeated, again studying. the
Gazette as he rode back homeWard
with Gayle. They're not only
pretty, they're interesting"
BY sheer coincidence (of which
Bill and Gayle knew nothing) an
other man made almost the same
comment in another part Of the
city, at about the same time. He
was Mr.. Oscar Draper, chief identi-
fication expert in the bureau Of de-
tectives, police headquarters.
