Joe Medwick hasn't been any too
happy under the st. Louis setup
for some time. And Ducky Med
wick happens to be one of the best
ball players in either league. He
may be high-strung and tempera-
mental, but he can hit, field, run
and throw-the four main essen

Ray Blades figures there are six
teams that can win the National
league pennant.

Only few years ago at Braden-

others. Now Pepper Martin and
Joe Medwick are about the only
ones left.
Baseball has seen better teams,
but none with so much color. There
was the time when Jimmy Wilson,
the crack Cardinal catcher, began
missing his silk shirts from the lock-
er. Dizzy began wearing them.
Dizzy was then q rookie. When
Jimmy put the blast on Dig for pill

Uncle John intended me to have the
privilege of coming here whenever

That's quite unnecessary" he
said stiff1y and saw her expression
change. She had, he knew, inter-
preted the words, the tone of his
voice, as a rebuff. And rightly, too,
he thought in bitter self-reproach.
Her offer had been fair and gen.
erous. Why couldn't he have ac-
cepted it in the spirit in which it
was made?
Presently, with a gesture which
expressed some thought completed,
some course of action determined,
she dropped the fringed end of the
cord. AS he watched her, still brood
ingly silent, she rose from the couch,
composed, lovely, remote.
'"Then I shall be obliged to
stay as your guest" she said and
walked toward the closed door into
the room she was to share with
Kate.
"You win again, Gay" Strange
that it was less difficult to renew his
resolution now that he realized he'd

"You're being pretty-stuffy about

Possibly" The knowledge of
what he had seen in her face was
sustaining. He felt himself relaxing
as though, by some agency, a strain
had been relieved. "'Worse than
that" he continued responding to
the humor and the friendliness in
her smile. "I'm being, I've been,
unpardonably rude"
"You have" she agreed cheer

shock was, is, mutual. We've nei-

"But my decision is made"
He knew that his voice lacked con-
viction. He saw her smile widen
and deepen.
She appeared to be satisfied.
''Shocks are wearing" she said.
''I'm going to get some Sleep"
"You'd better. You look all in"
"Thank you. Aren't you afraid

CHAPTER III

He'd have to clear out. He'd have
to clear out, now, tonight, before he
saw her again. John walked, rest
less, in long plunging strides, along
the rutted clay-shell road. The ex-
pertinent was less important than
what was certain to happen to him
if he remained at the cabin. He'd
fought that battle twice before, and
he had no intention of exposing him.
self to the necessity of fighting it
again.
But wasn't that necessity already
upon him? He'd wondered how he
would feel if, by chance, he should
meet her again. Chance, assisted
by Uncle John, had given him that
knowledge. He felt as he'd felt when
they parted six years ago. There
was something between them which
time and separation had not altered,
more vital than it had been three
years, six years ago, because they
were more mature, now, more emo
tionally aware.
Not that he hadn't been emotion
ally aware of her that summer she'd
spent at the cabin with Uncle John.
He should have cleared out then,
he told himself trifle grimly, in
stead of prolonging what he had in
tended to be a weekend visit into
stay of three weeks.
He should have left before the
day she'd turned her ankle walking
with him through the woods and
he'd carried her to the cabin in his
arms. After that nothing could have
induced him to leave. He remem-
bered with feeling of tenderness
for the innocent ardor of their re-
lationship which resentment could
not efface, the week which had fol-
lowed. He remembered saying
good-by to her at the station in
Machias, straining for a last glimpse
of her face, young and defenseless
in the transient grief of parting,
tears glittering on her lashes, her
wide sweetly curved mouth trem-
bling in an effort to smile. "In
see you soon, john" she'd said,
clinging to his hand as they stood
together in the vestibule of the train.
And, sustained by his presence, too
much in love with her to reason or
question, "Yes, very soon, he'd re-
piled.
But he had not seen her again un-
til he'd gone with Uncle John to New
York for her debutante party. Her
mother had taken her abroad that
fall after her summer here. She'd
written to him at lengthening inter-
walls during the first year, from &C.
neva where she was in school, from
various points on the French Rivi-
era when her vacations permitted
opportunities for travel. He'd been
relieved when the letters stopped
coming, glad that he had been on a
canoe trip in Canada when, nearly
two years later, the cablegram an
nouncing her return to America had
arrived, glad, too, though he'd
watched the mail for weeks, that
she had not answered his formal
note of apology and explanation. It
had been easier, then, to close
door in his mind, for reason, dur
ing long hours of logical if rebel
hous thought, had convinced him

Judge Dismisses
$1,053,474U. 5. Suit
AGAINST Tire Firms
Jurist Rules Criminal
Action or Injunction
Can Still Be Brought
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 6-Federal
Judge Edward A. Conger yesterday
dismissed the Governments $685.
474.63 triple-damage suit against 18
leading tire and rubber companies
which it had accused of violating
the Sherman antitrust law by con-
spring to Ak the prices Of tires.
In ruling on motion for dis
missal, filed last April by Luther
Day, counsel for the defendants,
Judge Conger declared the Gov
ernment could bring injunction
proceedings or institute criminal
proceedings against the alleged Of
Tenders. The suit was filed in Feb
ruary, 1899.
Judge Conger observed that this
was the first action brought by the
Government under section 7, which
provides that ANY person who shall
be injured in his business or prop
erty by any other person or cor
poration by reason of anything for
hidden or declared unlawful" in the
act shall be entitled to triple dam
ages.
Definition of Word Person.
Section 8 of the act, he noted,
defined the word person" as used
in the previous section, as including
corporations or associations, but did
not specifically include the United
States.
In support of his Interpretation
that the word person" could not
be applied to the Government in the
absence of special legal action, Judge
Conger cited numerous decisions of
the United States Supreme Court
and other tribunals.
Government Alleged Losses.
The Governments suit was based
on alleged losses of 1881, 1921, which
the Government contended it lost
between October l, 1886. and Sep
tember 30, 1887 when it bought tires.
Because of conspiracy between the
defendants, the suit alleged. prices
were higher than they should have
been. On four occasions, it was
charged, bids of the different COM
panies were identical to the penny
in each instance on 50 or more
different sizes of tires
The defendants were Cooper Corp.
Dayton Rubber Manufacturing Co.,
Dunlop Tire & Rubber Corp, Falls
Rubber Co., Firestone Tire & Rub
