half an hour longer. Finally he spoke
out.
What is your object in shutting the
cards in that peculiar fashion, he
asked at last, while Hamilton was
manipulating the deck.
What do you mean?" demanded
Hamilton, startled and angry. What
is there peculiar about my sha ffie?"
"Oh, nothing, except that you leave
the cards in precisely the same order
when you finish that they are when you
begin,'' said Cawley. Now / don't
see the advantage of shutting at all if
you do that"
do you mean to accuse me of crook
ed play?" said Hamilton, white and
furious with anger.
We'll, no." said Cawley, but when a
man does a stunt like that, in a friend
ly game, it is up to him to say what
he is doing it for
Il never did it," said Hamilton,
fiercely.
"Oh, yes, you did. said old man Daw-
SON. but after this single remark he
said no more, sitting back with his
pipe and evidently enjoying the excite
ment.
What do you mean? ?" asked Tramp
ton. and for answer Cawley took the
cards and showed how the trick was
done though he could not do it HIM
self with any accuracy. His exhibition
was enough, however, to explain the
matter. and Frampton said: The only
possible advantage 1 can see, Mr..
Hamilton, in that sort of shuttle would
be in case the cards were stacked. Is
there any other that you can suggest?'
E-r
this time, but he kept his nerve. The
only thing L can say is that it is all

Gently. gently said Beasley. K
did not detect you in doing it, but Mr..
Cawley says he did, and his word would
be good against yours, even if he had
MT a witness. Now what did you do
it for? The rest Of US are fairly good
poker players, but we don't know much
about card tricks
WELL said Hamilton, after long
pause, ''out where came from this sort

see how I can very wen fight all OF
you. The only thing I see for me TO
do is TO leave camp in the morning.
Next day the sun came out, and the
half-detected gambler walked back to-
ward the nearest town alone, nor did
any bid him farewell.
After he had gone CawIey said:

in a small game2"

ton. -'and he expected to make the

watch this here Hamilton a mite clos
er'n you be. 1 amt maxim no charges,
but you might look at him when he
shuff1es the cards.
More than this he would not say, and
Cawley went back to the game greatly
perturbed. He determined to say moth
ing, but to watch closely.
The shuttle was the clew, it appear
ed, so he looked carefully each time
Hamilton took the deck. AT first he
could see nothing out of the way, but
after a time he started in surprise so
great that he nearly betrayed himself.
He was fairly we'll posted in the tricks
of the card table, but this was one he
had never detected before.
Hamilton would cut the deck and put
the two packets corner to corner in
the ordinary fashion. Then he would
rifle them smoothly and grasp the two
outer ends in his fingers instead of
pushing the cards together with the
outer edge of the palms of his hands
as most players do.
This was a slight departure, but at
first it indicated nothing to Cawley ex-
cepting that Hamilton was a trifie more
deft than usual.
But, when he pushed together the
two packets-interlaced by the rifle
Cawley noticed, watching intently, that
just before the edges were flush, there
was a little twist that made the packets
lie diagonaily. Then the grip of the
fingers was shifted ever so little, and
the cards We're drawn through-between
one another, if the phrase is allowable
so that the order of the deck remain
ed as it had been at the beginning of
the shuttle. So c1everly was the final
motion made that it looked like a new
cut after the shuttle.
The game went on, dollar limit, as
before, and Cawley continued playing
and watching. His thought was that
no one was likely to be hurt seriously
in a game of that size, and that he
had. as yet, no sufficient grounds for
making a charge.
Presently Frampton, whose bad luck
had lasted and who was perhaps a hun
bred dollars behind, proposed to raise
the limit and Hamilton promptly sec
onded the suggestion. Il would have
proposed it myself" he said, but I am
a good deal ahead for a small game,
and I thought it wouldn't look we'll
Cawley said nothing. but he kicked
Beasley under the table, and Bea sIey
demurred. Then they all turned to
Cawley. and he said: Il don't think we
want to play for real money. This
game is big enough, isn't it?" And at
the same time ne kicked Frampton,
who was as quick as his cousin to
take a hint. The game went on as
before. to Hamilton's very evident dis
appointment.
Cawley. however, was unable to de-
tect anything crooked in Hamnton's
play, though he watched him for fully

TRICK OF A GAMBLERS TRADE.
Queer Shuttle Friendly Game Was Discovered BY Back
woods Guide.

They didn't go to the Rangeley Lakes
to play poker, but the rain drove them
TO it.
Frampton and Beasley We're first
cousins and above any possible suspi-
cion, punctiliously honorable men of
ample means, while Cawley's check was
good for anything under six figures, to
say nothing of his reputation. Hamll-
ton was a man they didn't know so
well. There was nothing against him,
but he had joined their club on the
strength of introductiOns from some
Western city mainly, and his ante
cedentS We're a blank. They knew in
general way that he had mining inter-
ests and was promoting them but he
hadn't brought business into the club,
and as he was a pleasant companion
with much experience in camp life, they
found him an acquisition to the party.
The guide ALT Dawsan, was just plain
woodsman. At least they thought So
He was busy with his camp work
when they began playing, and for an
hour or so afterward he was puttering
around, clearing up things. Then ne
came into the big tent where they were
playing. sat down where he could
watch the game, and smoked in silence
for the rest of the afternoon.
1t was a modest game, considering
the resources of the players-a dollar
limit and a straight game, jacks being
declared on threes or better, and no
buck in use.
After the first half hour the cards
ran well. First one and then another

and as the three friends We're talking
openly about their hands. some of it
was explained. Frampton, on Cawley's
deal. opened jack pot for the limit,
and Hamilton stayed. Then Beasly
raised it, a dollar and Cawley stayed.
Frampton boosted it another dollarand
Hamilton saw that and made it one
! more. Beasley looked at him pretty
sharply and put in his two dollars, but
Cawley dropped out.

afraid of you. Beasley. but I reckon
Hamilton has me beat. before the
draw" and he threw in his dollar and

one. Frampton looked at his hand and

looking at his hand, found a small flush.
He raised as a matter of course, and
Hamilton raised back.
The other two stayed again, and
Frampton made it dollar more. Then
Hamilton came back at him again and
Beasley and Cawley after some hesitat-
ion threw down their hands. Frampton
simply made good and they both stood
pat.
Hamilton threw in white chip and
Frampton raised it dollar. Then Ham
ilton made it dollar more and Tramp

When Hamilton showed a full house
as openers. Frampton showed his own
hand. 4 told you L never called when I

Good play said Caw1ey
I'm jiggered if I think So said
Beasley. why did you play your
hand so strong if you didn't think
enough of it at the last to call a dol
lar?"
Because I had confidence in it, till
after the draw said Frampton. And
after Hamilton stood pat I reckoned
the chances of his having q straight
even greater than the chances of it
being a full house. So I was ready
enough to bet one more dollar on it.
But when he raised my raise I decided
that he wasn't afraid of the average
pat hand and it wasn't likely that he
was trying to bluff me, so I dropped"
Pretty good poker. I call it," said
Hamilton. though he did not exactly
seem to relish the notion that Tramp
ton had judged his hands so we'll. A
few deals later. however, he had an
other contest with the same antagonist
that was even more unsatisfactory.
He opened a. Jack pot and the others
all stayed. Each of the four drew
three cards, and Hamilton bet a white
chip. CawIey and BeasIey dropped,
and Frampton called.
Hamilton hesitated. Then he said:

SAVANNAH GETS
DUMMY ROSSON
WILL NOT GO TO CHARLESTON.
PITCHER sTALEY HAS ALSO BEEN
SIGNED BY MULLANEY.

Both Men Are Top Notchers, RossO1

perience in Professional Ranks.
StaIey Is the Star Pitcher of the
Mercersburg College ROssOn
Joins the Club in Augusta Monday
and StaIey VIII Arrive Next Week.
OGIe Goes to WaycrOss.
Capt. Mullaney closed deal with
Dummy Rosson Of Nashville yesterday,
to pitch for the Pathfinders, and he
will join the team at Augusta.
Rosson was negotiating with Ashen-
back of the Charleston team, but pre-
ferred to accept the offer made by Sa-
vannah. and he wired from Columbia
yesterday that he would sign a Savan-
nah contract at once.
Rosson signed with Nashville in the
early part of the season. but the large
number of pitchers signed by Fisher
gave Rosson little chance, the older
men on the team having the preference.
Manager Fisher recommended Rosson
most highly, and said he was sorry he
did not have room to keep him on his
team. Rosson has been playing pro-
fessional ball for several years, and has
an excellent reputation.
Pitcher Staley, the star pitcher of
the Mercersburg College. Pennsylvania.
has also signed a Pathfinder contract,
and will come 10 Savannah next week.
George Washington Ogle will be loan
ed to the Waycross Club, which has re-
Gently been organized. There will be
many regrets when 1t is learned that
Ogle will not be seen in the game here
at least for a while. He is vet too
young to be trusted in the champion
ship games, although his work in the
last game he pitched was as steady as
any of the veterans.
Ogle has a wonderful wing, and has
even more speed than Doc Childs,
though much lighter. Old ball players
all agree that he has major league tim
Der in him. The arrangement with
Waycross is such that Ogle can be call
ed back any time.
Owner Boyer said last night that he
had great hopes in Ogle. His extreme
youth is the only reason for this farm
ing out. He is only II years of age,
but is wonderfully developed.

HOW IRON MAN M'GINNITY WORKS
WHILE PITCHING FOR THE GIANTS
Tells How He Has Acquired Such Success in
the Box.

with the one idea ever in mind that
the secret of successful pitching is to
mix 'em up I have always worked
hard since l have been pitching profess
sional ball to vary my style of delivery
so as to fool the batter, or at least
make his efforts to smash the ball
little more difficult" says Joe McGin-
nifty, New York's great pitcher. THAT
is why 1 have worked steadily for five
years to perfect my raise ball.
BILLY Rhines of the Cincinnati club
was the first pitcher 1 ever saw use the
raise ball. He could throw the ball
with considerable speed, but could
not, or rather did not, try to curve it.
After many months Of practice, was
able to pitch the raise ball with a
curve, and good judges of the game
have given me credit for making good
use of my knowledge.
THE ball I have found very effective
this season can be called a cross-fire
curve. There have been many pitchers
with a good cross-fire delivery, but
don't know of any that used a curve
with it. I have always thought that
to add a curve to the cross-fire would
be just what was needed to stop bats
men from placing the ball. All play
ers like to hit to right field, particu-
larly when there are men on the bases.
A nice single to right, with man on
first, makes it almost sure for the man
on the base to reach third. The batter
also has an excellent chance of reach
ing second if a play is made on the
preceding RUNNER.
A Cross-Fire Curve.
"Just to fool the right field fitters,
if possible, 1 worked all last winter
to develop a cross-fire curve. I tried
it last season on several occasions, and
I was satisfied I could control the pitch
with sufficient practice. 1 may say the
result of my work so far is up to my
hopes.
ITO deliver this ball step to the
extreme right of the pitchers box, of
course, keeping one foot on the rub
Der, according to the rules. I then
send the ball to the batter with a
wide out-curve. By the time it reaches
