and Doheny were the. two. and they
both pitched better than ever before,
and had to do it to beat Tannehill that
year.
The, great work of Chesbro and
Tannehill made them very desirable to
world knows how they left Colonel
Dreyfuss and went to the New York
Americans. The cold winds of High
land Park, or the swat sticks of the
husky batters of the younger league
| didn't suit Jesse so well that first year
of his expansion and in 80 games
he only annexed Is, for a mark of
500 and rank twentieth among 40
The temperament of Jesse was
either too different, or something, so
Jesse hiked to BeantOwn in exchange

Jimmie Collins made a deal that
should almost excuse him for letting
Stone go, for Hughes was a lemon,
while Tannehill won 81 and lost II,

fourth among Al of Ban Johnson's

I In 1906 Jesse kept on getting more

a total mark of .513, TannehflI was
the only Boston pitcher to win more
kthan half his games, and not only that
top of all the pitchers in the league
who played in 15 games or more, and
there were 80 of them. His record
was the fine one of 80 victories and 9
defeats. per cent no. 1888 = -
In 19O6-well, everybody knows
how the Bostons slumped and how the
team was practically without a high
class catcher the whole season. Never
theless. Tannehill pitched good ball
for the most part, though handicapped
by a very lame ankle the whole sea-
son. Had he been in good shape it is
a cinch that Boston would never have
lost twenty straight games. But with
all the handicaps, his record was II
victories and 10 defeats, per cent .453,
according to unofficial figures. 1t is
possible that President Johnson's fig
ures may give Jesse at least an even
break on the season, for it is the first
time in his career that he fails to
reach the 500 mark
Now, to summarize the record we
find that from 1885 to 1906. inclusive,
a period of II years, Tannehfll has
won 200 and lost 119 games, for a per-
centage of .637. Truly a good mark
Now, take his work while in the Ma

SO defeats, for .657. His American

Highlanders and the Beaneaters This
makes a mark of $50, which is mighty
good when you come to think of that
Boston team the last two years
Since Joe Cantillon has hooked up
with the Washington team for three
years, fanny has expressed a desire to
come to this burg, but such a deal
would be hard to pull off. as neither
team would want to draw the short
straw and it would be hard to find a
suitable man for the trade, and it is a
cinch that Chick Stahl is not going to
weaken his team by giving up his
most successful boxman without get
ting something more than a near
pitcher in exchange

ARCADIA By FRANCIS BUCKLEY EMBREE
Copyright. by Joseph B. Bowles.,


 Arcadia bloomed outside. Bee and bird and perfume of flowers brought their message of lovetime to the young girl standing by the French window opening on the piazza of a pleasant farmhouse. She was tall. slight girl with wistful look under lying the brightness of her face, as though she feared life might steal from her the happiness she felt to be her rightful heritage. One in- stinctively felt hers to be one of those delicately-balance natures resulting from the warning of conflicting pow ers-there were the daring eyes and the firm chin of one who achieves, but the brow of ideality and a weak hand spoke of a love of ease and hours of dreaming.
 The lovelight deepened in the beau tiful eyes as the form of a young man appeared far down the road leading to the farmhouse. The girl moved and was about to step out on the piazza when her steps were arrested by the sound of her own name.
 Its in Bessie Dunlop's blood, I reckon. Her mother did the same thing thirty-odd years ago in this very house. Strange, isn't 1t? Never came back herself, poor dear, although she was that fond of the place-not even for visit! reckon she never saw the day she could afford it."
 The speaker paused as if to give the long. painful years time to pass, and then continued
 So she just plodded along and raised her big family as best she could-all the time wantin' money and education for 'em, which she couldn't no way get, and finally lettin' this baby-girl go to a rich aunt who hadn't any children of her own, so as she could have the chance to enjoy something of the world. We'll, if poor Lizzie Sloan could have seen her comin' down here and givin' herself away to Peter Jackson's Henry, reckon she'd not have been so willin' to skimp herself of her baby's kisses" :"
 Good Mrs. Franklin paused and wiped the precipitation from her face, and Mrs. James Lewellen Brown said:
 Sister Franklin, can't think you are speakin' accordin' to your profess sion. There aint likelier young man in Knarl's Bottom than Henry Jackson. and hiE intendin' to be a minister of the gospel"
 But Mrs. Franklin had recovered her breath.
 Twas just so with John Dunlop. Wouldn't hurt fy-for one reason, he never could have overtaken one! And Lizzie--land alivel She'd have made her way anywhere hitched sin gle. but the day she stepped into double traces curbed her down to the pace of@a leader that never got out of jog-trot. To be sure. she never had to wait up nights a-tremblin' to hear a drunken step; but pshaw! if a house's afire. slow man ain't no more account than drunken one to turn in the alarm. It's pity girl can't realize when she's pickin' out husband for herself that she's pickin' out a father for her children at the same time. There's many man that's first-rate company settin' under the paternal vine and fig-tree. that won't pass muster for the father of such a girl as Bessie Dunlop. Will you tell me If you think she didn't de- serve all the education aud piano playing >she's got-and how in the land of love could it have been man. aged If her mad let her depend on
