feels, like most of us. that there is plen-
~ of good pitching left in the old fell
lows, and has faith that some of his
youngsters will surely make good, but
there is enough uncertainty in the situa-
ton to make him hesitate to take a
chance in letting any possible good man
go. 1t is absolutely essential that the
BOSTON Americans shall be strong in the

A couple Of seasons back, when things
We're breaking badly for long Tom
Hughes in the matter of winning
games, and in consequence the clever
fellow was feeling decidedly glum, he
had q dream one night: and it was u
peacheriuo. Tom dreamed that he was
pitching against the Chicago club. and
that during the game he had everything
that any pitcher possessed before or
since
With these goods Tom was simply
making the champions look like a lot
of old battered Japanese coin, and he
had them all tanning at the air.
At the termination of this dream
land game. and when Tom had figured
up MS average, he found that he had
famed twenty-five men. But when he
discovered this he quickly woke up. and
with start and to his sorrow he found
that indeed it was only n hallucination.
The next day out at the park Tom
went UP against the Windy city crowd.
and as they happened to be feeling
good they simply chased Tom out Of
the box
When Tom went back to the bench
he happened to run into Case Patten-
and he began to tell Case about the
hard luci, he was playing in, and as
Case just then was under a clord him
self. he was ready with the sympathetic
dope.
Tom told Case about his drenm of the
night previous. and as he seemed to
dwell on that stunt, Patten, wishing to
say something that he thought was
timely, said to Hughes:
"Oh. we'll, Tom, woldn's think about
that; it was only a dream anyway"
YES" replied Tom as he gritted his
teeth and looked with anger at the
chesty White Sox, at was only a
