...Beach Hotel, where the Phillies and Eddie were staying. She told a girl friend mysteriously that by the following night the girl would have all kinds of exciting things to talk about. The next afternoon she and another girl friend saw most of a game in which the Phils beat the Cubs 9-2. Eddie got a hit and Ruth was happy. Ruth went back to the hotel by herself and got all dolled up. She even put a pair of flashy, brilliant-studded combs in her hair...
...baseball umpire ("It ain't nothing until I call it"); of a heart ailment; in Horse Cave, Ky. A onetime big-league ballplayer (he pitched and caught for the Cardinals, 1903-08), colorful, rasp-voiced "Uncle Charley" spent his off-seasons coaching football (his Centre College, Ky. eleven beat Harvard's great 1921 grid team 6-0-), helped develop Centre's famed "Bo" McMillin...

While trying to beat him at his own game, she succeeds in developing oil wells by the dozen, and presently finds that her lust for vengeance has turned into a lust for money and power. Meanwhile, her emotional life develops a three-way split between her loyalty to a rich Indian suitor (Pedro Armendariz...
