THE VIEW prevails in au-

For one thing. il is believed
Germany would strive desper-

possibility is seen that the Ger

General Manager Eddie Collins

Williams, Dom DiMaggio and
Johnny Pesky off to the wars,

Alabama farm for the duration,

American League.
The departure of that quartet
appears to have ruined both the
outfield and infield beyond re-
pair. The only experienced out
er gardener available is the light
hitting Pete Fox.
Man For Every Position
The Seekers have called up
such outfielders as Tom Nc
Bride from Little Rock, Ford
Garrison from Fort Worth, and
John Lazor from Louisville which
means that, come what may, they
will be able to man every position
in the deep outskirts.
Such dependabes as Tony
Lupien, Bobby Doerr and Jim
Tabor have been classified in 3A
groups but they. can not be ex-
pected to perform their infielo
chores as usual without Pesky in
the shortstop berth.
Eddie Lake. a little ex-Car-
dinal farmland from Sacra-

Pesky's replacement. But Lake

his forces some extra punch.
Utility infielder Tommy Carey,
whose 1912 efforts consisted of
only one successful pinch-hitting
appearance, is married, but child
less, and club officials do not ex-
pect to have him long.
Experienced Pitchers
AS far as pitching goes, the
Seekers probably have as much
experienced talent available as
any of their American League
rivals. Mace and Norman Brown
are expected to check into the
Tufts College cage for spring
training late in March. And so

suddenly released her.

Fenner blocked him off. "This is

door.

the snub-nosed gun CLEAN darkly
in his grasp. Somehow she was
aware that HeStor had not gone
but had come up behind her. She
did not see her; she saw nothing
but Fenner's left hand reaching
for the knob.
She watched, fascinated and
immobile as the detective palmed
the doorknob. She could see him
pull it towards him, watched his
wrist turn. She listened, every

swept up the gun and turned, his
face twisted and stiff. Then, once
again there came that explosion
of sound and this time the room
seemed to rock under Joyce and
her ears rang with its fury.
Thorndike staggered and sat
down hard; then the room was
very quiet.
Fenner moved slowly up to
him. The. fallen gun was but
inches from his hand and the de-
tective kicked it to one side with
his toe and picked it up.
That's what you get" he said,
speaking to no one in particular.
"for trying to do killer a favor.
You plug him in the arm and then
you have to cool him off anyway.
l should've known better"
He glanced about, putting his
gun away, and went over to the
telephone.
Joyce heard him talking but for
another second or two she could
not take her eyes from Thorndike.
His face was no longer twisted
and stiff. There was a curious
look of surprise in his eyes and
the muscles of his jaw were slack.
He glanced down at his right
hand. There was a trickle of
blood on the back of it. but
though he tried he could not
raise it; after that he put his left
hand inside his coat and sat like
that, holding his chest.
Just Nerves
Joyce shuddered as reaction
y shook her. Weakness was, eat
ing her strength, and while she
fought for control of her senses
she heard Della. ..........,. .

Ward turned her quickly away
and his arms went about her.
Joyce saw her slump and for a
moment thought she had tainted.
Then the sobbing quoted and her
hands came up and crushed
Ward'; lapels and he bent his
head. He began to talk, his lips
close to her ear and his voice soft
and husky and unintelligible to
anyone but Della.
Kent's arm slid around Joyce's
waist. Suddenly she became
aware of his strength and put her
arms about his neck because she
could not stop her trembling. He
pressed her tight and she felt his
hand stroke her hair.
STEADY" he said.
She held to him for long sec
tondS and then released her arms
and looked up, aware now that
her eyes were trimming and his
image blurred.
'T'm sorry" she said. "Just
nerves"
You were magnificent" He
smiled. "I'm sort of proud of
you"

found the brandy. She put lit
tie in a glass and added water.
When she returned to the living
room Hestor was sitting on the
edge of the love seat. Her face
seemed older now, the makeup
garish against the pallor of her
skin. ,
