the grueling race for the National
League pennant and the right to play
the Detroit Tigers for the worlds
series last season
When Pittsburg first disposed of
Bransfield, who had been member
of the Pirate championship organiza
ton, Clancy, Howard and Hillebrand
were tried out at first. Howard, who
took part in 80 games and who is now
a star utility man on the Cubs, did the
best work, but in comparison with
Bransfield his best was not considered
good enough. In Nealon, the Califor-
Man, who was secured the following
season, it was thought that the va
cancy had been well filled. Nealon
looked like a world beater for time
and lasted throughout the season of
1906. He fell off in his playing in
1907, though, and Swancina and
Storke were given a chance to show
what they could do.
Then Nealon became homesick for
the Golden Gate and remained in the
west. That left it to Swancina to fill
the bill last season, but he proved I'M
equal to the task. In fact. he was
not good enough for Louisville, to
whom he was sold. After Swancina
was disposed of, Storke, Kane and Gill
were utilized at the first sack. That

Mrs. Marsden had arrived at the
conclusion that heroic measures would
have to be reaOrted to.
1t was q dreary, sun-fOrgOtten morn
ing. Spasmodic gusts of sleet pelted
the windcw-panes and the wind cried
shudderinaly through the naked
branches OF the trees. Mrs. Marsden
came down 10 breakfast little late.
She looked good deal troubled and
her cheeks were pale. There was
suggestion of sieeplessness about the
dull, infiamed eyes.
Her husband glanced up from the
newspaper he was reading with the
customary perfunctory nod. Some
thing IN his wifes face chained his at
tention second.
What is the matter?" he asked.
Without meeting his glance, she re-
piled:
Jack was restless all night; bit
feverish, I'm afraid. | think you'd bet
ter speak TO the doctor and have him
stop by this morning"
The paper dlOpped listlessly from
Marsden's hands; the boy was his
idol. Throughout the meal. he dallied
with his coffee. pushing aside all food
that was set before him. At the con-
clusion Of the meal. he rose abruptly
and ran upstairs to the nursery. The
child was asleep now, but his cheeks
were almost too wildly pink and the
breath was coming through his dry,
scarlet lips in little labored jerks. He
did not hesitate, but went at once to
the telephone and called up the fam
lily physician.
In half an hour the doctor came,
making careful examination of the
patient. 1t was nothing serious, he
thought; nothing, at least, to occasion
alarm at present. There was consid-
cradle temperature with slightly ir-
ritated threat, but the child would be

Vic Willis Back in Fold.

Victor Willis, the crack pitcher of
the Pittsburg National league club,
will again play with that team this
year, despite assertions that he will
retire from baseball. Willis has been
holding out for more money. Several
weeks ago Willis received contract
from President Dreyfuss fixing his sal
airy for the coming season at $4,100.
He refused to sign. 1t is said he wants
$4,000 Friends of Willis say he
would sign for $4,000 and they believe
this figure will be secured by the
pitcher.

covaleski Refuses to Sign.

Harry Covaleski, the star boxman of
the Philadelphia National baseball
club, has refused to sign the contract
offered to him by President Shettsline.
Evidently the man who contributed in
a large measure to the Giants losing
of the pennant did not regard the pro-
posed salary as doing him justice. He
named his figures to Shettsline, and
the president of the Quakers stated he
would bring the matter before the d.
rectors of the club.

Lewis Tewanima, the youthful Hopi
student at the Carlisle Indian school,
has jumped into fame in the last year
because of his remarkable long-dis-
lance running. He came to the Car
Isle school two years ago, with II
other Hopis or Moqui Indians, from
northern Arizona. At the Olympic
Marathon in London, Tewanima, who
had badly swollen knees, and who evil
IDENTITY suffered agonies throughout the
race, came in ninth. He was handi-
capped severely by rain and mud in
the Yonkers, N. Y, Marathon, and won
the big Pastime club race of ten miles
in New York City with ease over big
field.
