M'CORMICkS ANNEX
BLOODLESS CONTEST
No Money in Sight Despite Many AS
surances to ontrary-Cowley
Pitches Good Ball for
Winners

After journeying to Redondo in the
hope of placing a little money on the
Mccormick Redondo baseball game,
the former nine was forced to come
away without having won or bet a
nickel. Despite the long line of talk
with which the Redondo nine favored
the baseball editor of The Herald
about desiring to bet 5000 on the result
of the game, never a dollar was in
sight when yesterdays contest was
called.
Manager Mccormick entered sa-
loon at Redondo owned by one Muir
ply and inquired as to the probable
result of the afternoons game. "Re-
dondo is sure to win was the ready
response. Come hither," said Nc
Cormick, and after having gathered a
crowd of fifteen or twenty persons
about him, proceeded to bring forth
the coin. By the time Mccormick had
$50 in sight there was not a soul
within hailing distance except the bar
tender, and even he was gazing abb
stractedly out of the window.
incidentally the McCormicks shut
out the Redondo nine to the tune of

last. Cowley twirled first class ball
for the winners, allowing but six hits

often spoken OF as an undiscerniug critic
who can see no merit except where q is

the unheralded novels slide into oblivion
and never fails 10 praise those which

needed any further disproof. il is amply
furnished by the way in which Dream

ary), has been received. This was
small. unpretentiOus book issued without
Illustrations or a striking picture cover
and not advertised sensationauy in news
papers. IL stood on its own merits and
its own quality. yet this book has been
singled out by reviewers I'm every part
OF the country for an amount OF attention
rarely given TO any first novel. In many
cases the reviewers became enthusiastic
and dared TO express their opinions very
fOrcibly before receiving confirmation
from any authority. Even the most sub
tie virtues of the book were discovered,
and most Of the praise was disCriminat-
! ing as well as enthusiastic Two or
three critics showed their individuality by
condemning the book in no uncertain Ian
