ONE OF eoYHooD's WOES.
Simple Recital of a Tragedy of the
Baseball Field,

Over in the vacant lot back of Jimmy
Jones home the Mudlarks and the Ter
rors We're engaged In a baseball duel to
the death. 1t was the last half OF the
eighth inning. The score stood 5 to 4
i'm favor of the Mudlarks. Jimmy Jones
the best pitcher Of them all was in the
box for the Mudlarks, and the way he
spec them through was working havoc
with the hopes of the Terrors.
The Terrors were at bat. A man
passed to first, an error, II they had
a unn at third. Jimmy Jones settled
down to pitch. and struck the next two
batters out. A run would tie the score.
Grimly the Mudlarks settled to the
task of shutting out the Terrors. Tense
excitement reigned. Jimmy Jones
stood, serene and strong as an adamant
wall, and the best batter of the Ter
rors approached the batter's box.
A Mudlark rooter's thin and strained
voice arose: Tree twisters and a fan
Deliberately Jimmy Jones twirled the
ball in his fingers preparatory to
speeding through a deceptive shoot.
The base-runner at third danced for
ward n back again, ready to take
desperate chances to tie the score. Sell
reached on the field. Still Jimmy stood,
twirling the ball. The hope of the
Mudlarks rested with him.
At length Jimmy Jones gave a final
WIFI 10 inc pail, swung his arm about
like a windmill. and prepared to send
the whizzing sphere across the plate.
But a sound broke the Stiffness.
Across the back fence that skirted the
field a woman's voice came clear.
shrill, not to be denied:
Jimmy Jones. you come home and
rock your little brother to sleep this
minute!"
Slowly the tense muscles of Jimmy
Jones relaxe The ball stopped in mid
air. The great arm Of the Mudlarks'
star pitcher dropped as IL paralyzed. A
look of great pain came upon his face
and his fingers grew ~nerveless and
limp.
Never mind her. jimmy shouted
the Mudlark rooter. "Finish out de
game"
But Jimmy Jones was undone. He
put his suspenders back on his Shout
ders. passed the ball to the umpire and
with his proud head bowed made his
way TO where his coat lay in a pile.
"Youse fellers don't know me mud
der" was all he said. Cit annuder
pitcher"
He walked off the field. leaped the
back fence and was lost to view. while
the Terror batsman drove n three-bag-
ger and the cheers of the Terrors am
prised Jimmy of the full force OF the
tragedy.
