baseman the following bouquet:
when the Kid played here he was
one Of the most unmanageable players
Detroit ever had. He was constantly in
hot water with league officials and UNI
pires. He would fight for a game as de-
terminedly as a man fighting for his life.
Kid Gleason. another belligerent player
in his day. and who played second base to
Elberfeld's short, kept Elberfeld under
control at times. In doing this he did
more than Manager Stallings could do.
Gleason and Elberfeld made up

double plays In one season than was ever

SPORTING COMMENT.
BY J. ED GRILLo.

Jim Jeff1es' statement expressing the
belief that he was doped before he entered
the ring at Reno July is not going to
arouse public demand to have the mat
ter Investigated. And yet there is no
doubt that there was something material
ly wrong with the former champion when
he entered the ring to face Jack Johnson
The picture showing Jeffries being intro
duced to the crowd before the fight seems
to give strong evidence that the con-
queror Of Corbett and F1tzsimmons was
in a dazed condition. His legs are spread
out to prevent his tottering, while the ex-
preston in his face is that of an i'm
beetle rather than that OF an experienced
fighter.
Granting that Johnson could have beat
en- Jeffrles under any circumstances. yet
it is reasonable to suppose that Jefrfes
when fit would at least have been able to
put on one or two rounds Of fight. i But
he did not fight single round. being un-
able to get out Of his own way or raise
his hands. Regardless of whether JET
fries was property trained or not, he
should have shown at least a flash at the
outset Instead he went through the en-
tire fight like a man in stupor. There
was some good reason for this, for JEFF
fries had been up against apparently
harder game before in his career, yet had
not shown any signs Of fear and It has
been charged that fear caused him to
break down.
AS said before, Jeffries' charge that he
was doped is not going to cause sympathy
for him or change the public mind as to
Johnson's prowess, but there are many
close to the fighting game who believe
that some one slipped Jeffries something
before the fight which put him In an al
most helpless condition.
Just how Promoter Fletcher can hope
to get financial backing for his proposed
third league when the facts OF his
scheme are taken into consideration is
hard to understand.
He claims to have signed eighty major
league ball players to options which pro-
vide that when these players sign con-
tracts in February they will be paid
ten-thousand-dollar bonuses. This out
lay of cash is great ,e enough to
ey in the scheme shudder. The mere
signing of the eighty players, not
all Of whom can be Cobbs or La
joies. means an expenditure Of 100000
before cent is paid in salary or
nail is driven in the building of any one
of the eight plants which. Of course.
will be necessary. That ball players
should jump at the chance to sign such
an option, which gives them $4,000 for
the mere SlSulIiS OI d. COHIIuCts 10 uOI "
be wondered at but how Fletcher ex-
poets to make good to the players re-
mains to be explained.
People with money enough to back
such venture are not apt to go into 1t
when they realize that nearly million
dollars is to be virtually given away to
the ball players before the building Of
ball parks or paying Of salaries is
thought of. Fletcher has undoubtedly
succeeded in signing a great many play
ers to his options. and In this manner
may make a lot of players dissatisfied.
but it does not seem that he has one
chance in a million to make good his
plans.

Can Fall Back on Wallace.

Hedges states positively that he hasn't
asked Wallace to manage. the Browns.
Nor will be until he learns that he can
not obtain the services of some other
man. Wallace is Hedges property. He
is also star ball player. The increase
in salary and Wallace's ambition would
undoubtedly cause him to try his best
as he always does-in the role of COM
mander.t
From sources other than the American
League headquarters come reports that
Wallace will be the Browns manager.
Hedges says he is in no hurry to name
the 1911 leader but as the chances for
landing some other man are slim, Wal
lace will get the job.
The American League meeting Is sched-
uled in New York December IA. Hedges
is going to be there. He says he may
take his manager with him, may appoint
him there, or meet him there. But am

Wallace. the clever shortstop, will be
the manager of the Browns-if President
Robert L. Hedges is unable to line up
some other individual whom he believes
Is better capable Of running the team
than the little Scot. Like first-class base
ball players, first-class managers are
rarities. So Hedges is taking his time
before making selection.
Wallace hasn't been named, yet. But
he stands an excellent chance Of being
Jack O'Connors successor. Hedges is
sweeping the field in the hope that he
can find a man who has made his mark
as a commander Of a major league team.
He has cast longing eyes at such men
as Fielder Jones, Harry Davis. Bill DON
Ovan; Jimmy Callahan, DIR. G. Harris
White, George Stallings ct al. But for
different reasons he has been unable to
line up any Of those mentioned. It's a
difficult matter to obtain the releases of
men like Donovan, Davis and White.
Jones and Callahan are well fixed in
other lines of business.

CHAPTER II.

The day was early over the mead

frost upon the stubble-fields when
Tempest came out of the house to the
terrace where his horse waited
The avenues before him were nests
of golden and brown leaves, and his
mare at first went gingerly into them,
with pretty, careful steps, picking her
footing and shrinking as they cracked
and rustled. At the foot of the ave-
nue. he skirted the railings OF the park
in search of small gate for pedes-
trians and leading out into the road
towards Billings Poke and Craven.
He had an idea, doubtless very
reasonable one, that if Miss Carew
was as serious and good as she seem
ed she had every plan to run away
or to slip out of Craven by the morn
ing train.
She could not slip out before. Not"

chology was not at fault, and that he
should as well have the pleasure of
the chase.

1t seemed that Miss Carew had
wished to go up Charms hill, and in
order to make the train she would be
coming down Wood lane in the hour
Tempest rode away. At the end of
Wood lane, just little to the road
side, he saw the figure of a lady-the
only lady in Cravenford, of course
The Glenwood post., 1910-02-26

She stood under beech-tree, or under
ance the leaves raining around her
in abundance.
Tempest took the direction and
rode across the fields to her side.
Miss Carew's surprise and wonder
was an added pleasure to him. He
was laughing as he came up, and
greeted her:
Il have never believed anything was
really lost, you know" He spoke as
if to answer her. "They used to send
me to find things for them when / was
little chap; the fact of their being
lost made me angry directly, and |
started out invariably with my teeth

This was not Craven. There was
no master here of a house where she
had presumably no right to be. They
