They'll never think of looking for
us here in the grove at this time"
Sally Purdon looked anxiously over
her shoulder with less confidence than
her words implied.
"But what if they don't find us?'
asked Julia breathlessly, trying to keep
pace with her companion. IF we
aren't able to get back to the village
in time for the dinner that won't
help us very much"

said Sally. looking critically through
the trees at the fading light of the
autumn sun. 1T will be dark enough
soon for us to make a dash out through
the other end of the grove, through
one of the farms, and from there we
can get to the village from the upper
end. The sophomores won't expect us

anyway" The footsteps suddenly
ceased within a few feet of the
crouching freshmen.
Sally. with one hand still held firmly
over her companions mouth, waited
with every sense alert.

and the sound of the crumpling leaves
announced al least Il temporary relief
for the freshman. When the sounds

"I'm so dreadfully frightened"

scorn why. If the girls had known
you were such a baby they would
never have elected you vice president"
"Oh, wish they hadn't. It's dread
full. Do they steal just the officers"
"Of course. Just me and you and
the treasurer and the secretary" Sally
explained. You ought to be proud TO
be worth stealing. Let's make dash

tried to carry her friend by main force.
Quick she urged. They're coming"
The returning footsteps only made

JOE CANS DIES CONSUMPTION
GREAT FIGHTER succuMes TO
DEADLY WHITE PLAGUE.
Was Considered the Best All-Around
Fighter Ever In the
Ring.

Baltimore, Aug. Joe Cans,
former lightweight champion pugilist.
is dead Of consumption which mani
tested itself about year ago. Late
last spring he went to Arizona with
the hope Of restoring his health, but
the disease had been too deeply
seated and he declined rapidly. He
was brought here last week to die.
Joe Cans true name was Cant. the
name Cans having been fastened upon
him early in his ring career by a mis-
take Of a referee. He began his ring
career in 1894, but prior to that time
he had made q name for himself as q
fighter about a fish market in this
city where he was employed. His flrst
fight for money Is said to have
brought him "a. The largest purse
for which he ever fought was $4,000
in his first bout with Battling Nelson.
OF this Cans received only $11 200,
he having agreed to give Nelson the
remainder win, lose or draw.
Cans won the title Of lightweight
champion from Frank Erne at Fort
Erie in one round in 1902 and lost 1t
to Battling Nelson in 1908 in the sew
enteenth round.
He was considered by the greatest
analyzers Of prize fighting to be the
best combination of filter, boxer and
ring general that ever essayed the
game. He fought more than $50 ring
battles.

Boston School Teacher Who Went to
Philippines Is So ciassed.

Washington, Aug. While "a
woman would not be permitted to en-
list in the army, navy or marine corps,
she may become one of the troops of
the United States"
This announcement Is made on the
authority Of Comptroller Tracewell Of
the treasury department.
The decision was rendered in the
case Of Mrs. Eva B. Peck Of Boston,
a school teacher who went to the
island of Guam to instruct the natives.
She was appointed by the navy de-
partment with the understanding that
after serving a year she would be
permitted to return home, the govern
ment paying her travelling expenses.
When she returned she travelled from
San Francisco to Pine Bluff, Ark,

AS quickly as orders could be given
200 regular soldiers stationed in the
park were marching against the foe.
That large areas of the magnificent

Playing for one run at time, and
making sure of that one, Is the way to
win at baseball. The day of big bat
ting averages Is over, and the team
that can advance runners steadily and
work together at the bat, and on the
bases, is the winner. In the first place

It did even ten years ago-and the

chances, while the other team must
play a desperate defensive game, play
close and take desperate chances to

The Cubs have won three pennants
by playing for one run at time, be.
cause their pitchers have always held
the other teams down to low scores,
and I think we have the best team at
making the one run that ever was or
ganized. The way to get that one
run Is to have a resourceful attack,
and to keep outguessing the other
team all the time and never allow the
style of play to become machine-like,
BY that I mean to hit the first ball
when the pitcher is expecting you to
wait, to wait when he expects
you to hit and to wait him out to
the limit II he shows any
signs of unsteadiness. We fire.
quently wait out pitchers for three or
four innings, perhaps without getting
a hit or base, and then switch
the system and hit the first ball that
comes over. We fight all the time
to get that first man on bases. Then,
If the opening is made, We change the
game and try to surprise the other
team. If they are creeping In, expect.
ing hunts, we may switch and play hit
