4C's-second Place
/ pick the 4C's as the other ur-
ban Senior entry into the City
tournament. For two years
straight they have ended up N
second place and should do 50 a
gain this year.
They have two fine pitchers
from the Hi.League, Richard Gray
Of the Ramblers and William Ed
son Of the Hawks. Richard has q
lot Of stuff. William has plenty
steam. Both are fine pitchers
and might win enough games be-
tween them to capture first place
for Ben Gray, manager of the A
C's.
4C's infield is good, although it
is a little light. Delvin Gray who
plays first base, is the only "Her-
cules" in the infield. Percy Jen-
kins, Willie McDavis, Pete Allen
and Herman Berrying complete the
4C's infield.
The 4C's have four good out
fielders, Melvin Grant, Charlie
Williams, Vanous Francis and
Cape Hunter.
When Mr.. Gray couldn't find a
catcher this year, Ed Grant took
a try at it. Ed has done a good
job of it since he started. A cou.
pie of years ago, Ed was one OF
the leagues best pitchers.
The 4C's have two good hitters
in Francis and Hustler. If Berr-
ing and Allen regain their last
years batting eye, the 4C's might
easily be the champs. Allen wor

The HSS.-Third Place

HISS. has the best pitching and
excepting at first base, the best
infield in the league. Still yet, |
can't see HISS. finishing above Bird
place. Their failure to play good
ball all of the time is the reason
for their downfall.
HSS's two ace pitchers are Har-
old Bertham and Herb Peake. Both
Harold and Herb have stuff, con-
troll and speed. HISS. has four
other hurlers, Willie Wade, Joe
Brooks, Dick Greer and Jack
Childs.
II HISS. could find a good first
baseman, they would probably get
n of the two tournament spots.
Pete Powell and Doug Murre,l,
both have been playing first base.
Joe Brooks, Freddy Harrison and
Sonny Triggs all perform excel
lently at the other infield spots.
Paul Doodle Rec" Gibson has
handled the catching department
we'll for HISS. Doodle Rec is a
smart, alert, unafraid catcher. lie
is a "Chater Box" and his little
Glowing antics keeps the crowd
in a roar of laughter.
HISS. has a very weak outfielj.
Their o~utfielders are Emmett
James, Angelo Merriweather,
Childs, Greer and Bertham.
They have four good hitters in
Triggs, Harrison, Childs and Glib
son. But Brooks, Peake and jam
es aren't to be overlooked.
Handsome Nose aRnsom is their
manager. Moses "orations" thrill

Axis Helps Hungary Regain Lost Lands

HUNGARY is a new partner in I the German-Italian-Japanese totalitarian axis, but this nation has been collecting rewards of Hitler's new order since 1888. Admiral Nicholas Horthy, pictured on the stamp above, regent of a kingdom without a king, isn't overlooking any chances to regain all or part of the 90,000 square miles of land Hungary gave up after the World War.
 When Czechoslovakia was dis membered, Hungary grabbed a strip of Slovakia and the Car patho- Ukraine. Last August, Rou- mania returned half of Transyl- vania. In all, friendship with Hit Ter has paid Hungary in 27,000 square miles of land and four million people.
 Germany wants the food raised on Hungarian farms. Agriculture is the principal industry; wheat, corn, rye, oats, sugar-beets and tobacco the most important crops. These products, and Hungarian coal and iron help Germany fight the British blockade.

 Suzanne is intensely emotional. She has an imagination that sees a roaring blaze where other people see not even a wisp of smoke" said Paul. choosing his words very care fully. I'm fond of Suzanne, sorry that she-she spoiled things"
 No words came to Martha. She could only sit there, picking at that foolish little zipper ornament.
 You'll break it." Paul said. And now he was in absolute control of himself He stood up. Look here, Martha. Let's be honest to the very end of the thing. We used to be en- gagged. IT thought I was in love with you, and you thought you were in love with me. and it's that know ledge which makes our friendship now look queer while your husbands away"
 Marthas $ lips parted. A great tight her chest, It hurt to breathe.
 Paul said quietly, But people are wrong. I'm not in love with you now. You're only my best friends wife, and I want to make his ab- sence less difficult"
 
 Yet, even as the words left his lips, Martha saw that tell-tale muscle, twitching there in the hol- low of his lean cheek. I'm not in love with you now" How steady his voice was! How rigid the control with which he refined himself!
 Only, as his fingers curled into fists as his teeth clamped down on the pipestem in his mouth; as Martha stared at him, hsr heart beating fast-Paul's eyes were giv- ing him away.

 He took his car keys and put l them on the table. "You must take my car. Martha. A hundred miles is too far for that wheezing wreck of yours" He picked up his hat 'The cars downstairs. Have a good time. Tell Bill I said hello."
 And hour later, as she got behind the wheel of Paul's new car, Martha was glad he had insisted. The hum of quiet power, when she started the motor. was reasSuring.

CHAPTER x

Paul Elicit stared down al Martha, Speechlessly, as the echo o1 her words hung in the stiffness ''The three of us" she had cried And the implications of those words were suddenly filling the room-sud- denly so plain, so clear, so hurting that she wanted to run away from him. She could not bear the look in his eyes, the way muscle in his
 lean cheek was twitching.
 He funbled in his jacket pocket for his pipe. at last. He tamped tobacco down into the bowl with a blunt forefinger, taking an awfully long time about it. And still the silence shrieked between them.
 He fumbled in the pocket again for matches. Very deliberately-as if he wanted time to pass, as if he needed time to recover from this blow-Paul scratched a match, and sucked on the pipestem, lighting the tobacco.
 The flame lit up his face ill a fleeting orange glow The grave dark eyes, the straight nose, the firm con- trolled mouth were etched clearly like a picture on a screen, flashing and then dimmirg.
 Oh, I oidn'twant to hurt him. Martha thought in dismay. Hes so fine, so worthwhile Maybe I'm destroying something I'll never find again. I hurt him once, when married Bill. He forgave that" She thought of the clean, unselfish friendship-the strong arm, always ready to help her-and she eXperi- enced a sinking sense of loss.
 T didn't mean to say that, Paul, y she cried quickly. II didn't mean 1.-the way it sounds"
 "Sit down, Martha" Paul said gently. Sit down here and let's talk this over
 "But-but there's nothing to talk over" Again the panic and the un- certainty-as if her feet were set on a bit of earth that kept sliding out from under her. 'The whole things silly, really. IT didn't mean to put it that way" Her fingers smoo5hed the maroon housecoat, played with the ornaments on the zippef pull.
 Paul pushed her gently down on thG sofa, He sat beside her. Martha, we must be honest with each other. Since this thing has come up since we've already started discuss ing it-lst's drag it out into the light and examine it.
 You have been avoiding me. Definitely. couldn't understand why. What you just told me makes it very clear. It's because Bill is not here"
 Almost, his voice was like the voice of the Paul who sat in the private office at Air Transport, dis cussing with the chief engineer the stresses, strains, and examining the stresses. strains and examining the a wing in the wind tunnel. You said 'the three of us. Meaning, now that there are just two, you and T. he smiled, but his eyes weren't Smiling-"The situation has chang ed. Either you haven't ever really wanted me about, since you and Bill were married :"
 She gasped. Paul! That's not so! I don't see how you can think that"
 Then. Martha, your remark must mean that you-that you're afraid of me Or of how our being together with Bill away looks. It doesn't look proper. is that it?"
 She stirred uncomfortably. No, that's not it."
 T don't believe you, Martha. Once there was time when would have sworn that gossip-other peo- ples incorrect opinions-meant nothing to you. But now especially
