not been fully decided, but the intima-
ton was made that having gained a
half victory they would ask for more

OF SMOOTH Mr.. NAvIN-TiGERS
WILL REPEAT. SAYS CLAUDE.

Claude Rossman, the big first sacker

a friend, told his story OF his holdout

tied President Navin at IL o'clock and
by noon had signed his 1909 contract
and was packing his grip To start
south, Saturday morning. to join his
teammates in the training camp In
San Antonio.
announced Mr.. Navin at the conclu.
sion of his interview with the recalct
trant Mr.. Rossman Il had asked him
last fall what salary he thought he
ought To get this season, and he nam
ed figure that was away out of reach
but when We talked IL over we soon
came 10 terms. Oh yes, his pay en-.
velope will be fatter than last years.
Here Is Rossman's story of the trou.
BILE, given before his conference with
Navin:
1T is not my fault that ! am not
now with the Detroit team in San
Antonio. II Is Navin's fault Only
one side OF the story has been told.
Last fall Navin told me that
would get boost In salary and asked
ME To name what | thought | ought to
get. But he sent me contract similar
10 that for last year. He never made
ME any compromise price. II he had,
there would have been something on
which TO make a deal.
Il am tired OF correspondence. II
has not brought us any nearer to-
gether in five months. SO | came
here TO talk things over with him per
sonally.
II am In fine shape because | have
been working all winter. Country lie
In itself is preparation.
Il can see nothing to II but the Tig-
ers again for the pennant this year.
The team has been greatly strength
ened by the addition OF Moriarty.
That alone is enough to win. Cleve-
land looks pretty good TO me. but this
team always looks good In the spring.
I figure the White Sox out of 1t, with
Fielder Jones no longer on the team.
The Athletics look pretty fair II they
land Kruger.
But IL is the games that count and
| think the pennant will come right
back this year To park out Michigan
ave.
This talk about trying 10 traue me
and no one wanting to make the deal,
looks rather funny to me. There are
some teams in the American league
that could use a first baseman, and,
then. there are some teams In the Ma
tional, too, where they pay pretty fair
salaries"
Rossman got into town early Friday
morning He put up at the Pontchar-
train, and then strolled up for visit
with his friend. A. l.. Goldberg, or
Goldberg Bros. The latter is not only
one of the most enthusiastic fans in
town but also warm admirer OF
Rossman.

Ing his way down the stream, had I'M
covered Sinclair and young Rebstock
from behind. A yel1 between the
shots rang across the wash, and the
cringing figure of a man ran out to-
ward Whispering Smith with his hands
high in the air, and pitched headlong
on the ground. 1t was the Skulker,
Barney Rebstock, driven out by Wick
wires fire.
The shooting ceased. Silence fell
upon the gloom of the dusk. Then
came a calling between Smith and
Wickwire, and q signaling of pistol
shots for their companions. Kennedy
and Bob Scott dashed down toward
the river bed on their horses. Sea-
grue lay on his face. Young Reb-
stock sat with his hands around his
knees on the sand. Above him at
some distance, Wickwire and Smith
stood before man who leaned against
the sharp cheek of the bowlder at the
point In his hands his rifle was held
across his lap just as he had dropped
on his knee to fire. He had never
moved after he was struck. His head,
dropping a little, rested against the
rock, and his hat lay on the sand; his
heavy beard had sunk into his chest
and he kneeled in the shadow, asleep.
Scott and Kennedy knew him. In the
mountains there was no double for
Murray Sinclair.
When he jumped behind the point to
pick Whispering Smith off the ledge
he had laid himself directly under
Wickwire's fire across the wash. The
first shot of the cowboy at 200 yards
had passed, as he knelt, through both
temples.

THE END.
Autoist and Gentleman.

An enthusiastic Burlington motorist
was driving his car through one of the
most rural sections of the state. He
came to the top of a very steep hill.
On each side of the road was a ditch
and at the bottom of the hill load of
hay was just beginning the ascent.
The motorist, who is not one of the
chicken and man killing variety,
backed the car into the ditch and
waited for the sturdy son of the soil,
who was driving the load of hay, to
guide his team past. On the rear Of
the load, almost buried in the hay, re-
posed at full length a typical old pa
triarch of the hills. His face rested
easily in the hands and his whiskers
streamed out foot or two in the
breeze. AS the team passed the auto
he called out, with note of surprise
In his voice: GOSH 'Tain't often we
