NEWS AND GOSSIP IN THE WORLD or SPORTS
american Association
Is Loosely Conducted
1t is Alleged That the Averages OF Players
Were Correct in About One of
Every Ten Instances

A howl has been raised by the various
clubs in the American Association, Of
which j. Ed Grillo was recently elected
president, over the averages promul-
gated by former President Hickey. Ac-
cording to the official scorers of the
clubs, there are discrepancies in them
by the wholesale Somebody made an
error or there was method IN the loose
manner in which those in the office Of
Hickey fielded the offerings sent in by
the scorers of the eight clubs. For a
month there was a cry for the averages.
but when they were announced the cry
changed TO a howl of derision- Not one
of the averages was conceded to be
correct. Hickey must have had a
bungling office force.

Turner who was conceded to be slightly
inferior to Unglaub, was also given q

by Chicago. was given a rating OF -S4V.
while the figures should have been $50.
Jiggs Donahue was credited with play
ing in % games. whereas he finished the
season with 103 to his credit.
Baseball men are at a loss to explain
the mistaken figures. 1t has been said
that Hickey had hopes Of landing the
presidency. and had dOctored the figures
in the hopes that IL would influence the
adraft after they had been promulgated.
Hickey has been in the business long
enough TO know that magnates think
less of averages than. they do passing
around free tickets for games, is the
slur some hurl at him.

wants to show that he has not gone

CHAPTER VII.

On recovering from the dull stupor,
caused by the death of her husband
under circumstances SO appalling, at
moment SO unexpected, and by the
terrible suspicion which had fixed itself
upon her, Olive Dumbarton began to
look With calmness such as she could
command upon her situation, and to
brace herself toward meeting the in
evitabe. Being a woman who had al
ready suffered much in the course of
her existence, her spirit was seasoned
to trial.
She had known alternate light and
darkness, happiness and woe. Her girl
hood had basked in sunshine; her mar
ried life had made her taste the bitter
ness of disappointment, the brine of
grief. Then, after struggle and despair
came success and independence. state
of freedom from anxiety and delicious
calm which might eventually have
reached the heights of happiness, had
not af1liction come when looked for
least But this horrible charge having
been made against her, the heaviest
and cruelest blow a wife and mother
could know, it was her determination.
not for her own sake SO much as for
her child's, to combat it with all her
strength and prove her innocence to
the world, hopeless as the task seemed.
and helpless as she was at present.
The courage which had strengthened
her in the heaviest hours of her past
life was with her now, and would sus-
tain her to the end.
