lowed up by defeating Buddy Ryan,
Martin Candle and other crack men of
the light and weller class His last
battle with Ryan, who is pretty close
to welter-weight champion, marked
him as man who had chance with
any fighter living from 1873 to $50
pounds. Gardner possesses brilliant
skill, great endurance, a telling punch
with either hand-in word, all the
qualities which go to make a great
fighter. Gardeners fighting on the Pa
cific coast has greatly impressed crit.
les. He has such a tremendous punch,
is such rusher, yet clever witha1, and
has beaten so many men much larger
than he is, that competent authorities
class him as the best lightweight seen
in America in many years, if not the
best of all time, Jack McAuliffe and
Kid Lavigne, perhaps, excepted. Beat.
ing men like Buddy Ryan, who is adj
mittedly the best 142-pound man in the
country, Walcott out, makes Gardner
a fighter of great merit at light weight.
1t is said that he cannot do better than
1876 pounds. His brother George, who
is his manager, says that he can do 1873
and be strong enough to lick any light
weight in America. Jimmy was born
in County Claire, Ireland, in 1882, and
is, therefore, % years old. Young
Gardner came to America when mere
child For years he worked in the
shoe factories of Lowell, Mass. The
success attained by his older brothers,
George, the well-known light heavy
weight, and Billy, the lightweight, in
duced him to enter the ring.

ceptlons, the game played between
the Giants and Pirates on August
., in which the score was
tie at the end of the eighth inning. and
was declared forfeited by the umpire
to the Pittsburg team because the
Giants refused to abide by his decis.
ions and play, and one lost at Chicago
on September % by the score of one to
nothing. Matty has not been taken out
of a game all season and he has not
had game tied on him. Two balks
have been called on him during the
year. A comparison of records be-
tween Mathewson and Waddell the
crack southpaw of the Athletics of the
American league, shows that Waddell
has surpassed Mathewson in only one
thing, and that is in the strike-out
record, the Philadelphia star having
$50 to his credit, while the New Yorker
has but 169. Waddell has won 25
games during the year and has lost
ten, was taken out of three games
and tied up once and had one balk
called on him. He has participated
in 43 games all year, having finished
out four games for other members OF
Connie Mack's staff. Mathewson par
ticipated in 38 games, having finished
four games for other Giant pitchers.
This comparison of the leading pitch
ers of the Giants and the Athletics,
the two prospective contestants for the
honors of the worlds series, shows
the advantage somewhat in favor of
the National league team. A compari-
son of the records of McGinnity and
Plank, the next pitcher of Importance
of the two stats, shows a slight ad-
vantage in favor of Plank, as he has
won % and lost II during the year,
while the Iron Man" has won but 20
and lost IA.
Columbus captured the American as
ISOLATION pennant for the season of
1905. The team has 100 games to it's
credit, with only 50 lost. The other
clubs in the association finished in the
order named: Milwaukee, Minneapo-
lis, Louisville, St Paul, Indianapolis,
Toledo and Kansas City.
Des Moines won the pennant of the
Western league, which has also closed
it's season.

very kindly with the shrinking subal--

two very distinguished Virginians were

ESCAPE POSSIBLE.

1t is by no means a far cry from
Manassas to Charlottesville as one
takes the swift flight in the cosey
parlor car of to-day, but it was
different thing in 81, humping, bang
ing, behind some wheezy old wood.

two days tossing and tumbling over
the ruts of the Virginia roadways.
1t was a soft spring morning tina;
saw the genial doctors little party
entrained at the Rappahannock.
Scores of sympathetic fellows in con-
federate gray surrounded the car to
which Lieut.. Chiffon was borne and
into which Fred Benton, his arm in a
sling and his head still in bandages,
was carefully guided. For reasons not
then made known to his Yankee pa
uent, the doctor persisted in treating
his case as far more serious than con-
ditions seemed to warrant. Constant
ly he strove to impress upon Benton

ing as little as possible Rosalie, too,
was forever holding up a tapering
finger in warning and pursuing her soft,
rosy lips in very significant hush"
when he ventured to ask questions or
show disposition to stir. Otherwise
she had but little to say to him, and
our wounded Badger boy had enjoyed
the doubtful bliss of watching her
hour after hour during the long wait
at the Junction, hanging about her
suffering brother, or with softly flush
ing cheek, talking in low, eager tone
to Paul Ladue, whose melancholy eyes
fairly frightened. 1t had been settled
that he should leave them at Gordon
vile and return to the front, but at the
Rappahannock his own colonel boarded
the train and, noticing at once how ill
and worn he looked, talked with him
kindly, alphabetically, awhile. and

CHAPTER VIII.-CoNTINUED.

CHAPTER Nlll.-CONTINUED.
Five seconds more and the error was
discovered. Chiffon and his platoon
had taken the wrong road somewhere
south OF Chantilly and, instead of re-
Joining their squadron, had stumbled
on the picllets. There was more or less
soldier recrimination, but, quickly as
possible, the wounded officer was borne
IN blanket to neighboring farm
house, and a trooper galloped to
Gainesville for surgeon. Ladue spent
a sleepless and miserable night, was eX-
enerated by his division commander
and Stuart when the matter was in
vestigated next day. but was so utter
~ broken up over the affair that per-
mission was given him to go back
sgain and remain with Chiffon until
ne could be moved.
Ladue, nearly mad with misery. was
hopefully awaiting the coming of an
ambulance on the third day when his
patient suddenly took a turn for the
worse, The division surgeon said it
would be a serious matter to take him
that long ride back to Warrenton and
suggested Ladue's going over to the
home of Judge Armistead at Hopewell
and arranging to have the lad moved
thither. This was on the eighth of
March, and up to noon they had no
sign of soldiers coming from the east
or north.
So Paul had gone, never counting on
Chilton's taking the bit in his teeth.
And when late at night he returned
20 Thornton, weak and weary, he was
aghast to learn that with only his body
servant and a trooper nurse, Chiffon
had started southwark in the wagon
that evening by the Sudley road bent
on escaping from the heralded advance
Of the union blue. Despite fatigue and
FALLING strength, Ladue followed,
caught them at the Henry house, and
VAS within that historic wreck, con-
sailing the owner as to the best roads
TO follow while the farm wagon, with
It's solitary escort was toiling up the
slope from the crossing of the pike,
when all on a sudden there came a
cloud of blue-jacketed, yellow trimmed
troopers sweeping across the field from
the southeast, and Mr.. Henry had bare
~ time to hide his visitor under the
flooring in the garnet when they were
dismounting by the dozen and jovially
swarming all over the premises.
Another moment, too, and they had
surrounded the wagon with its help
hess load. Then Averell himself had
ridden up to investigate, and one OF
his first orders was that the Henry
house and grounds were to be pro-
tected against all possibility of pillage
and vandalism.
So it had happened that for two days
Paul Ladue lay concealed within the
Henry house-onee when the guard
was changed hearing voices he recog-
aized as those of men he well knew in
his western home.
And again the word was passed from
the sentries at the front: Here comes
