Winthrope sat down; but through

OF a spoiled child, until Miss Leslie
blushed for him. Greatly to her as

IN the end took his bow and arrows
and went of down the cleft. with no
more than a quiet reminder to Win
thrope that he should keep near the
fire.
When, shortly after dark, the en-

through the bars Of her screen, looked
to see Blake kick the PROSTATE man.
His frown showed only too clearly that
he was in a savage temper. To her

Youngster Gives Promise Of Develop.
Ing Into tho Ty Cobb
Type.
Every fan worthy OF the name will
tell you that the Brooklyns are back
on the baseball map this year. Not SO
much that the Dodgers themselves are
connecting toward the first division any
too rapidly, but rather that they have
on the roster this season men who
by reason of their batting ability are
likely to break up a game at any mo-
ment and set the dope" on the Ma
tonal league race awry. This they
have done several times since the sea-
son opened, and the most notable or
these new Dodgers is Outfelder
Buck" Wheat. as he is Familiarity
termed by his eliminates. Wheat's
hitting has been the sensation OF the
league thus far this season. And II
confidence counts for anything the
youngster probably will be among the
topnotch hitters when the 1910 race
ends
Wheat Is just old enough to vote,
having celebrated his 21st birthday re-
Gently. He is a native OF Kansas City,
where he first attracted attention in
the Saturday" leagues. In 1908 a
scout from the Shreveport team OF the
Texas league got his eye on Wheat
and very soon after that Buck" was
wearing the spangles OF the club. He
showed so much class in the TEX"
circuit that Mobile landed him In the
Fall OF 1908.
In 1903 he got away TO a good start
with Mobile and was hitting so well
that the umpires began to measure
his bat. Pretty soon, however, the
malaria got him, but despite this
handicap he finished more than three
fourths OF the season with a batting
average of $50. In the fall OF 1909
Wheat was drafted by Brooklyn. The
speed OF the big yards didn't feaze
Buck" In the least, and he hit 304
for twenty-six games with the Dodg-
ers last fall. Wheat's present batting
average Is .349. In q games he has
been at bat 103 times and has cracked
out SO hits, more than any other man
In the league. He stands third. Magee
Of the Quakers being second, with
Zimmerman OF the Cubs leading.
Wheat Is 1.-THE. nervous youngster.
who looks every inch an athlete. He
Is more compactly built than Ty Cobb
and his lines are not as fine, but al
ready he gives promise of developing
into player of the Cobb stamp. He
is fellow OF excellent habits and
says he doesn't know anything else he
would rather do than play ball.
Wheat last year used to crowd" the
plate, but he has changed his style.
Now he takes up his position nearly n
foot away from the pan and steps into
the curve. This is his natural style,
he says, which gives him an advan-
tage when II comes to that game
known as "outguessing the man IN
the box" Besides being a remarkable
hitter Wheat is chasing up with the
best Of them In the outfeld. He has
speed, is good Judge of distance, gets
away quickly and can whip EN- TO any
corner OF the infield with speed and
accuracy.
