Take it from Bill Klem, veteran umpire of the National league, the current pennant campaign is going to be one of the most bitterly fought races in the annals of the pastime. Umpire Bill Kiem. Bill has umpired his way through | many seasons, but he declares that! not since the days of the old inter city rivalry between New York and Chicago and New York and Pittsburgh five the players or all of the clubs fought so keenly in every contest to win as they appear to be delng now. “The old game fs back,” declared Kiem; “make no mistake about that The boys are all battling as if Hie it self hung upon the outcome of the chase, That is the spirit that makes baseball the most popular of all sports, And while they all are fighting every step of the journey there has been a praiseworthy lack of disorderly con- tnet on the fleld for which I am sure PLAYED IN GAS MASKS Hank Gowdy tells of playing one inning of a ball game over in France with the players wearing gas masks, against a team made up of Twenty-sixth division Hank pitched, nd of his team won, 4 to 3, but the wonder of it to Hank and to all others whe have worn these gas masks wns his center fielder ecatehing a fly while peering through the dim panes, boys, course STORIES Alaska will revive {ts twilight base ball league, ne Se * * » The Balt Lake club has dropped the veteran Ed Willett, Ed * * Claiming the pennant now ls like dancing around a May pole in Decem ber, . * » Truck Hannah, catcher of the Yan kees, Is an heavy hitter.

When Father Decides hr By R. RAY BEAKER > hd hd > (Copyright, 1519, by the McClure Hews paper Byadicats.) It was no use, the motor Just wouldn't start. Not a sputter could Anne Davis get out of it. She tugged and tugged at the flywheel, but there was not even a buzz to reward her ef- forts, She looked down the river, vexed and despairing. The boat was floating at a fair rate of speed, and unless she could get it moving in the other direc tion before long she would have little prospect of arriving at the Rest-While cottage before dark. Already It was dusk, but she man- aged to make out something coming upstream. Soon she heard the creak- ing of oarlocks and presently a shadowy shape loomed Into view, It wes a rowhoat with a man vigorously at the oars, “One of the inhabitants,” Anne de cided, but there was disdain In her voice. Meeting one of them in the village she would not have favored him with passing notice, but now any kind of man would be welcome, the stranger. “Stop a minute, will you, please?” He rested with his oars partly out of the water, “Did you enll me?" he shouted, after brief hesitation, “Yes, 1 can't started. 1 wis?

Returning to the motor, he gave the wheel a spin and the boat started down stream with a chug-chug that, under ordinary circu stances, was far from musical, but it sounded almost like chimes to Anne in this particular instance. “Turn It around,” she ealled. “I'm going up the river. It got turned the other way while we were floating amd 1 was trying to start the engine” He soon had the boat breasting the current, and again she sighed with re lief, “Guess 1 hotter ake you home” he suggested, “ICs pretty dark now, awl besides, you look tired, and beddes—| need the ride myself” Naturally she assented.
