The man of no memories smiled, the
same smile that had Infatuated the bar;

difficult to smile now.

trounced the local archbishop"
Fielder looked at him narrowly. Be-
meath the sarcasm he distinguished un-
familiarity, aloofness, a genuine aston
ishment. The appearance in the person
of Hugh Stires of the qualities of nerve
and courage had surprised him out of
his usual Indifference. The "tinhorn
gambler" had fought like a man. His
present sang froid was as singular.
Had he been an absolute stranger in
the town he might have acted and
spoken no differently. Felder's smooth
shaven, earnest face was puzzled as he
answered CURLY:

member it a long time"
"Ahl" said the man addressed easily.

He gazed over the heads of the silent
roomful to the simmering street, where
Devlin, with the aid of a supporting
arm, was staggering into the saloon In
which his humiliation had begun.
"They seem agitated," he said. The
feeling of embarrassment was passing;
the old daring was lifting. His glance,
scanning the room, set itself on a shah
by, clear figure in the background apol-
ogetic, yet keenly and pridefully inter-
ested. A whimsical. light was in. his
eye. He crossed to him and, reach
ing out his hand, drew the violin from
under his arm.
"Music hath charms to soothe the
savage breast" he said, and, opening
the door, he tucked the instrument
under his chin and began to play.
What absolute contempt of danger,
what insane prompting possessed, "a
scarcely be imagined. Fielder looked
for a quick end to the folly, but he
saw the men in the street even as
they moved forward waver and pause.
With almost the first note 1t had come
to them that they were hearing music
such as the squeaking fiddles of the
dance halls never knew. Those on the
opposite pavement crossed over, and
men far down the street stood still to
listen.
More than the adopts cunning that
had at first tingled in his fingers at
sight of the instrument was In Harry
Sanderson's playing. The violin had
been the single passion which the old
Satan Sanderson had carried with him
into the new career. The impulse to
''soothe the savage breast" had been a
fare of the old character he had been
relieving, but the music. begun in
bravado, swept him almost instantly
beyond its bounds. He had never been
an Indifferent performer. Now he was
playing as he had never played IN his
life, with inspiration and abandon.
There was a diabolism In 1t. He had
forgotten the fight. the crowd, his own
mocking mood. He had forgotten

Pulliam Says Criticism
 W0sf Unjnsf And Cruel

Jacksonville, Fla, March 5.-(Spe- cial.) l.)-Harry C. Pulliam, president of the National league, who Is in Florida endeavoring to regain control of his shattered nerves, is much aggrieved over the criticism to which he has been subjected in what he terms the yellow journals"
 Today he made the following state ment: owing to the many glaring, in correct and cruel statements concern ing my condition, permit me to say that I am neither mental nor physical wreck.

 Pulliam resents the allegations that lie has been put a shelf, and the charges that he is losing the grasp of his mental faculties. He is strong in

lieu. cldlitS dcOiSo OtdhHlSo. Bill Hart will begin his twenty eighth season as a pitcher in few weeks. This is a great record, but unlike the 20 years of Cy Young, a great share of his effort has been confined to the minor leagues. George Stallings is figuring on using Ball, his cratic short stop, in the out field He either should be played there or kept on the bench. Ball is as far removed from being a big league infielder as Los Angeles is from Boston.
 Lave Cross, who managed the Shamo- kin team in the outlaw Atlantic league last year and landed the championship, finds himself this spring without a play CT his entire team having been gobbled up by teams higher up. And he did not get a penny for them, either. That's the penalty of being with the outlaws.
 Matty Mcintyre, one of the Detroit clubs outfielders, who was operated upon some time ago for appendicitis, at his home in Staten Island. has fully recovered and he says that he is in better physical condition than ever before. Mcintyre has received an increase in salary from Manager Jennings for the coming sea- son.
 The Cleveland club looks more formidable this season than ever, especially if Terry Turner gets back into shape. All over the American league circuit the managers dread the Cleveland club, except Joe Can- tllon. His team has always been a hoo doc to the Maps At the same time Cy Young has always been able to beat Washington, and things may be changed this year.
 The buxom Sidney Smith, who had the 23 sign tackled to him by Boss Mo Aleer of the Browns, has signed his Att lanta contract. He called over in that dear Columbia, s. O., the other day and said that he was glad to get back into the minors. They don't work you enough in fast company chirped Sidney. Mack and McAleer treated me well enough, but I disliked the gag of squatting on the bench.'' Sids contract with Atlanta calls for the same emoluments and perquisites he drew from St. Louis.
 The suicide of Nicholas Mathewson, brother of Christy Mathewson, most fa- nous of National league pitchers, in Scranton, came as a distinct shock to Manager Jennings of the Tigers
 Mathewson gave every indication of be- ing second edition of Christy As a pitcher he showed unusual ability for a youngster of his age, and Hughey often remarked that he hoped to see the day when Mathewson could be induced to wear a Detroit uniform.
 All last season Hughey kept a close tab on Mathewson. Living in Factoryville, a stones throw from Scranton, where

Anniston, March 5.-(Specal.) With John B. Knox as president, a tentative organization of the Anniston Golf and Tennis club, which it is hoped will be eventually developed into a well organ ized country club, was effected at a meet ing held at the home of MT Knox on Tyler hill last night.
 Mayor Thomas E. Kilby presided at the meeting and Miss Carrie Knox acted as secretary. A governing board consisting of A. W. Bell, Judge Thomas w. Cole man, John B. Knox, John G. Farley, Jr., and W. H. Woods was named to nomi- nate secretary treasurer and draft fur ther plans for the perfection of the or ganization. The dues for adult members was placed at $1 per month and Mrs. c. H. Young, Miss Martha Sproull and Miss Carrie Knox were appointed a com mittee to solicit dues Of 50 cents per month from the young ladies of the city.
 In speaking of this subject today a member of the club stated that it will be the object of the new organization to put the Highland golf links in better condition, to improve the club house there, to lay off number of tennis courts and to eventually erect a new club house to be centered on spacious grounds and surrounded by picturesque driveways, resort that will be a credit to the Model City, affording it social club that will be in keeping with the best in the south.
