was nice. good natured child, he was
somehow naturally awkward in the use

Peters affectionate moods, only spring

more difficult to catch afterward, it
was SO tactfully managed by Ginger
that Peter never guessed he was being
avoided.
1t was the summer that Ginger was
a year old. fair sized, strong little
dog, and Peter ~ that Ginger de-

The Robinsonss summer home was

most directly opposite the house was

he ran out to the edge Of the

upon the first, and Ginger was in the

had drifted. In another second he had
khaki shoulder firmly in his teeth
and was making for the shore. The
distance was not great, but Peter was
a heavy child. large for his age, and
Ginger's instinct told him that he
could not scale the smooth side Of the
pier, but must swim instead to the
shallow water several yards away.
When Jane saw what Ginger was doing

Peter was only half conscious when she

 CLIMBERS.
YeSterday--Lively Pitcher WiIi Join ths Team at
 Once.


 McCafrerty was given his uncondi- tional release yesterday. morning waivers having been asked on him Friday night after the Birmingham game. He has at times pitched good ball for the Climbers but seemed un- able to go the. entire distance.
 He has always conducted himself in Montgomery as a thorough gentleman and was very popular not only with his team mates but with the local fans and the management. Everybody will be sorry to hear of his going but the management realized that he was not winning his games and hurting rather than helping the team.
 Pitcher Lively and Catcher Krebs of the Gulfport team of the Cotton States League--which season closes Wednesday-were signed yesterday morning.
 Lively will report to GreminReE Monday morning and possibly pitch one of the Nashville games, Krebs not re- porting until next season. Lively and Krebs made one of the star batteries of the Cotton States League. The pitcher is right handler and said to have good speed. control and nice breaking curves. and the indications are that he will be a great help to the Climbers, especially on this last Wester ntrip. This makes IA men on the team--3 outfelders. infielders, 2 catchers and pitchers-and they will finish that way unless unlocked for &C., cidents occur.

With some of the most sensational support ever seen on a ball field, big ,Whitey. Guese toyed with the Dubs yes- terday beating. them in an exercise galiop by a score of 3 to 1.
 The big fellow was in elegant con- dition, one hit each in the first, third and fifth Innings being all that the Duhs could do until the seventh. when for the only time during the seance they managed to get couple which. thanks to the good arms and steady heads of Messrs. Guese and shannon, did not do any damage.
 Ills speed and control were both working admirably, five of the cellar champions striking out and snary walk being given them. The only wabble in his control was when he hit Lew Walteis in the head in the sec ond session. During the rest of the evening it was all off with the Dubs. He was greatly aided and abetted by Mir. Shannon. Spike never caught bet ter ball in his life sand he simply had the Slagtcwn outfit tied to the post. His remarkable quickness and uperring begging saved run on one or two occasions. In the first inning, with Downey on third and Douglass on first t looked like another run. Henline al- ready having made one when Bliss dropped his fly. Spike made a. feint to throw down, when Douglass started in. when like a flash Shannon fired the ball to Perry, catching Downey half way between third and home, and kill ing him in the chase.
 Downey was again the victim in the third. when by quick. snappy throw Guese caught him playing off second. In the seventh shannon saved another run. Bill Douglass had smashed two-bagger and Carlos Smith hit to right. Reagan got the ball back so quickly that Douglass was held on third. Then Guese struck Walters out and Smith started for Reco~f to draw the throw and let Douglass get home. Ho drew the throw all wight. Spike shooting him down easily at second. This ade two out, but Douglass was afraid toAeyen start sor the plate, Pepe getting narsen's fiy-and 1t was all

 Another sensational piece of work was when Downey saved couple of runs in the seventh.
