her a few moments at tho en

he'd known that both Rose and
Johnny saw him on both occa
sions, ho would probably have
told Jan about It himself. As It
was, he thought It unnecessary
to say anything to anyone.
Frankly, ho was worried. Bo
cause if . Leiiore did find out
whuro he lived, und with whom,
she would undoubtedly make
trouble. Sho was not taking his
abandonment of her llf;htly. She
was employing every means she

Impossible, either, even though
he distrusted and disliked her. If
she worried him, she was also
healing the hurt in him. making
him heart-whole, for she had lost
the newer to shako bis emotions.
Yet. Lenore was shrewd and
clever as well as beautiful and
'charming. In short, to Insure his
integrity, he wanted to put dis
tance, nlenty of It, between him
self and her, but ha did not want
to leave the Merriners. He was
caught, almost literally, "between
the devil and the Ueep bluo sea."
Hose, coming into the house to
ehunua clothes on this first glorl
oils day of June, met Jan on the
stairway and remarked care
lessly. "Metier watch Derek

"I've seen him a couplo of times
talking ardently to a girl at the
Surf club. I don't know who sho
is. I'll try to find out, if you want
lo know?"
"I don't waul to know. It's his
business, isn't It?" Sho went on
downstairs, her spirits leaden.
Not. she assured herself, because
of Derek and a girl, but because
hor prized sketches of Neptune
had been returned tills afternoon
with a not too unsyuipathetlcally
worded rejection slip.
Sho went out and sat on Iho

Suddenly she remembered

Like decrepit fire homes answer,
lnff the summons of a familiar bell,
a nuartet of the American league's
tottering pitchers came charging
onto the firing lino yesterday with
some of the season's best hurling,
Including an abbreviated no-hitler.
John Whilohead, who hadn't wou
a game this season and was so In
effective the SL I.ouls Ilrowus sent
hi in to the minors lor a spell, blank
ed the Uetrolt Tigers 4-0 without a
hit in tho second game of a double
header and knocked the Ilcugals
out of first placo.
Whitehead pitched only six inn
ings, because rain haltod tho game,
and his performance won't got ills

But It was a noteworthy bit of
workmanship for Whlley. who
couhl win but one game all last
year, and It kept up the Drowns'
favorite sideline of knocking off
the pacemakers.
Schoolboy Rowe. who also nerved
a term in the inln.iis with the grim
prospect that he might not ciimo
back, pitched six-hit ball to give
Detroit a 9-2 verdict in the first
game.
Harder, who has been so near
tho skids this yoar the fans in
Cleveland had takou to booing him,
pitched the Indians to a lll-l tri
umph .over tho Chicago White Sox
and back Into the league lead by a
scant percentage margin.
Another admirable comeback was
tho sovcn-hlt. 4 lo 1, victory Os-
termueller earned for the Red Hox
over the New York Yankocs. Tho
little leftfieldcr. who will be 3
years old next month, hadn't pitch
ed a complete game until a couple
of weoks ago, but this was his
third in four starts and a worthy
one.
