A thousand pardons, but-but he has on
pair of His Excellencys beautiful socks
Then the linen dressed gent draws himself
up very straight and says, My socks! in
American, and whole lot in Spanish and ends

Remembering how the servant had wrecked
my sock, and decidn' not to go out barefooted
| got mad and told Senior Manuel to come and
take EN- off me himself, and put up my fists to
the first man that come near me. l hit him
behind the ear and put him down and out, and
then, seeing that there were too many for me
| grabbed my sachel and beat it. How ever
found the boys in the hotel is more than
l know; but l did, and when l told the
Cuban who was going to pilot on our trip
he gave a low whistle and told me | was in
for it.
Howl saysI.
"'Youve got to fight duel says he.
go unrevenged. He'll be after you to take off
those silk socks. He's a fighter
Il didn't sleep a great deal that night.
Sure enough, the next morning two Cubans
come round lookin' for me, and bringin' chal-
lenge, and saying that Senior Manuel wanted to
fight at shutdown.
The manager fixed it up. He said l must
fight, or be eternally disgraced and ashamed
to come back to Texas. So said would, and
they got us out in lonely spot just as the sun
as Long Arm Leary.'
"G'wan!' said Leary. 81 was only afraid
you'd lose your nerve
when l saw the pistol they wanted me to
shoot with, though, l kicked. 1t was long
double barreed gun, and l saw right away
couldn't hit barn with it. So baked and
the Cubans smiled in nasty way.
We can't get no Others, says the man
ager, who was backin' me.
Just then bright idea struck me. How
far apart must we stand?' says l.
Ten PAGES answers the Cubans
Then says l, if l must die, let me die a
baseball pitchers death. Give me couple of
American baseballs for my weapons
They tried to stop me; but l wouldn't be
stopped. And Senior Manuel, he was just piker
enought not to want to be stopped. He was
anxious to get me up in front of him SO
couldn't hurt him and he could plug me.
"Leary, here, he begged me with tears in his
eyes not to let my young life be cut off in its
bloom, and things like that, and the Cubans
looked plying on me as a nat'ral born fool
that it be all the better to kill.
Gimme two dollar-an' -a-quarter balls,
says l. them that's marked warranted to
last nine innings" There'll only be one inning
to this fight, and it'll be mine
That's your ultinatum, IS it,? says the
baseball manager sadly.

call. At the word swung back my arm, cool
as a cucumber; Leary lets out a whoop like
he does when pass strike over; and Manuel,
ratified missed me by ten feet, and through
the smoke | saw him fall all over himself try
ing to dodge the ball.
Quick as flash drove in my second, a
nasty inshoot, and it caught him square in the
solar plexus. He wabbled, his eyes rolled, he
dropped his pistol an the next minute he was
writhing on the ground, an Leary, who had
been just pourin out coachin' talk, yels:
WHO'S goin' to get the next one?'
You never saw more surprised lot than
them Cubans. They picked their man up, and
we beat it, for fear he'd come to and want his
other shot at me. The story got in the papers,
and they made SO much fun of Yankee ball
player with baseball whippin' man with a
gun that he left town, vowing vengeance. And
! kept the socks"

the Sluggitt Corners nine were gathered in
| their old meeting place, the S,uggit Inn. Sure
Eye Simmons was there, and so was Sawed OFT
SPOTS. Chicago Glenn, the third baseman, and
Dwarf Duffy, the catcher, were playing cards
in the corner. Chopenout Clancy the peerless
shortstop, and Putemover Plnkney were watch
ing the card game Other members of the
team lay sprawed about.
There was a general attitude of expectation,
however occupied or unoccup1ed the men ap-
peared to be, and that expectation was ex-
planned when the door suddenly pushed
open and Strike Out Sawyer and Long Arm
Leary, weighed down by load of satchels,
suit cases, and bat bags, trudged into the
room.
Back again." said the famous pitcher
back to the good old Big Stick League, and
Sluggitt Corners and Texas! And we're glad
to get here, especially after the stirring adj
ventures that have happened to us since we've
been in Cuba on our winter tour.
"Cuba?" questioned Sure Eye.
Yes, Cuba" said Strike Out Sawyer
Cuba the land of good cigars, and black eyed
girls and fierce gents, and sugar cane"
Tell em about Manuel and the jewel,
whispered Leary. Leary was no piker. When
he talked naturally he could be heard in the
next county, and now that he whispered the
bartender in the next room came to see what
all the noise was about, and Chopemout Clancy
Immediately spoke up
What jewel? You amt been diggin' up
precious"
Duel, duel, you human gorilla! SAID otr1ke
Out Sawyer to Leary disgustedly. Can't l
never learn You nothin,' Maybe better be-
gin at the beginning and tell the things as they
happened. You see, with the All American
bali playin' bunch we got to Havana, and
there in getting off l got separated. l just
had my hand satchel, and when l stepped on
the dock there was grinning black man who
comes up to me an says, Senior Sawyer?'
Yes says |, my name is Sawyer
:" At that he motioned me to carriage, and,
kind of wonderin' whether my fame had
reached so far that they should send a fine
team and a gilt edged coachnan down to
the dock for me, piled in, and was whir!ed off
through lot of streets that had never even
read about, and was finly brought up at
fire loollin' house which seemed like couple
o hotels, fastened together by big courtyard.
There | let out and through rows of
GRIMM black servants and bowin buffers was
showed up into beaut of a suite of rooms and
turned over to another guy, who immeJitly

me, with a towel in his hands
that covered me clear up. He
dried me off, and then began to
put on my buds. | pulled on
my shirt and made grab for
my socks; but he beat me to it.
He picks one up and shoves his
hand in to turn it right side
out. He didn't use good judg-
ment, though, about how much
rough handlin' that sock would
stand, for his hand went through
it, clear up to his elbow, and
left him the battiest Cuban you
ever see, and me the most
ashamed ball player that ever
busted out O. the United States.
He calculates a thousand
pardons all in Spanish or some
thing else, and brought me

CRAWFORD MUST
STAND HIS TRIAL
Reserved Question Decided
Against Him by the
Supreme Court.

Willie Crawford has to stand his trial
for gambling. and by the eleven jurors
his counsel accepted at that. the SUI
preme Court having answered the
question reserved by Judge Robinson
against the defendants contention
Geo. D. Gear for defendant had
moved for a directed verdict Of acquit-
tai, on the ground that the bill OF par
ticuiars furnished by Deputy Attorney
General Prosser did not agree. in point
OF time Of commission OF offense, with
the Indictment
This was argued one day and Judge
Robinson asked for the fling OF author
tiles on both sides He was about TO
rule on the point and Indicated an in
tention OF granting the motion, though
admitting some doubt. when Mr.. Pros
ser was given time from the morning
TO the afternoon session, al his request,
10 present more authorities.
At the opening OF the afternoon ses-
sion Mr.. Prosser moved Cor a suspen-
sion of the trial until the law point
was decided by the Supreme Court on
reserved question Against a. strenu-
Gus argument by Mr.. Gear the court
granted this motion, excusing the jury
until called. Counsel for defendant
had urged that Judge Robinson was
qualified and in duty bound TO rule on
the question. which ne said had already
been decided by the Supreme Court and
the law thus established In reservine
the question Judge Robinson repeated
his admission OF doubt and said the
question ought 10 be finally decided at
that stage. which II could not be IL he
directed a verdict OF acGuittal, be-
cause the prosecution had no appeal
Chief Justice Frear is author Of the
decision. which holds that:
Ordinarily, unless excused by stat
ute, the time OF the commission OF an
orense must be specifically alleged. but
except in so far as il Is Of the essence
OF the offense IL need not be proved as
alleged: II is sufficient 10 prove any
other time within the statute Of liTni-
tations and before the Indictment The
mere fact that the offense is OF con-
1inufng nature does rot maks the time
essential
The decision OF Republic OF Hawaii
Y. Kamakauila, rendered IN 1885, II
overruled in part That ease was not
adequately presented TO the court. as
shown by the briefs on file, the pres
ent decision says, and the statute
was not called TO it's attention"
The question reserved IN the Craw-
ford trial is answered in the afHrua-
-g-.z ar r.
er under an allegation that the ofense
was committed on the 18th day OF Oc-
tober. 1906, and for a period OF thirty
days next thereto preceding, there may
be a conviction upon proof that il was
committed on the 18th day Of Noveu-
Der. 1896. and on each and every day
prior thereto for & period OF thirty
days. as stated in the bill OF particu-
lars?
