SpaIding's Official Baseball Record for
1910 Published.

The third annual issue of Spalding's
Official Baseball Record, which has
come to be recognized as the statisti-
cal compendium of the national game,
has just been issued for the season of
1910. 1t is edited by John B. Foster
of New York, and contains a wealth
of baseball information, being larger
than the previous issues. Besides the
official averages of the National and
American and the minor leagues. the
Record also contains a diagram of the
race of each organization, a short ac-
count of the contest and notes of the
game. The Year in Baseball is an
account of the seasons happenings as
recorded day by day for the entire
year, and is interesting matter for the
fans. A system of arrangement in
this years Record Classics into parts
and II the data concerning the past
season and that of previous years,
rendering a more marked distinction
between the two divisions than in
previous issues. The matter in part II
is kept up to date and places before
the baseball public much historical in
formation that would otherwise never
reach InOSe Interested ana IN the
course of time probably be unattaina-

game will hearken back to other days
and scenes when he reads the name
of some player whose name was rs
familiar to him in those days as the
celebrities OF the diamond are today
to his children and grandchildren. The
results of worlds series games, since
their Inauguration in 1884 to the pres
ent time, are also given, with names
of players participating. Records rol
the various positions on team with
results of unusual incidents in the
game, forms another chapter in the
book, while the pictorial end surpasses
previous issues in that particular
feature, worlds series scenes of 1909
being shown, with action pictures of
the leading participants and other
players whose remarkable work during
the season entities them to that dis
tinction. Besides the pictures men
toned group pictures of the champion
in each league are also given.

cOncerI 3 was the daugh- ter of Professor Platanova, one time oculist and sociologist in a large Ger man university He had been one of the most brilliant men in Europe and a member of a noble family. Less than year bG re the opening of this tale he was executed for treason and conspiracy against the empire.
 His daughter Olga, was recognized as one of the most beautiful and cul- tured young women in Warsaw. Her suitors seemed to be without number. Finally there came onefwho conquered and was beloved. He was the son of a mighty duke, prince of the blood. The young prince pledged himself to marry her despite all opposition; he was ready to give up his noble inherit ance for the sake of love. The all powerful ruler of an empire learned of this proposed mesalliance and was mortified. The will of the crown was made known to him and-he obeyed. Olga PlatanOva was cast aside, but not forgotten He became the husband of an unloved, scrawny lady of diadems. W ACA lAC sclIutNLioii DOe"AAiC AiOAS ILeAAA he could bear he blew out his brains.
 When Olga heard the news of his death she was not stricken by grief. She cried out her joy to a now cloud- less sky, for he had justified the great love that had been theirs and would be theirs to the end of time.
 From passive believer in the doc trines of her father and his circle she became at once their most impassioned exponent She threw herself heart and soul into the deliberations and transactions of the great red circle; her father understood and yet was amazed
 Then he was put to death by the -lass she had come to hate-one more stone in the sepulcher of her tender, girlish ideals. When the time came she travelled to Graustark in response to the call of the committee of ten; she came prepared to kill the creature she would be asked to kill. a--d yet down in her heart she was sore afraid.
 She was there not to kill a man grown old ill wrongs to her people, but to destroy the life of gentle, inno- cent boy of seven!
 There were times when her heart shrank from the unhOly deed she had been selected to perform. But there

 On Saturday night, following the last visit of Truxton King to the armorer, the committee of ten met in the underground room to hear the lat est word trCfn one who could not be with them in person. but was always there in spirit. if they were to believe his most jealous utterances. The Iron Count Marlanx, professed hater of all that was rich and noble, was the power behind the committee of ten. The assassination of the. little prince and the overthrow of the royal fam hy awaited his pleasure. He was the man who would give the word.
 Alas for the committee of ten! The wiliest fox in the history of the world was never 80 willy as the Iron Count. Some day they were to find out that he was using them to pull his choicest chestnuts from the fire.
 The committee was seated around the long table in the stifling, breath less room, the armOrer at the head. Those who came by way of the sewer had performed ablutions in the queer toilet room that once had been a secret vault for the storing of feudal plum der. What air there was came from the narrow ventilator that burrowed it's way up to the shop of William Spantz or through the chimney hole in the ceiling. Olga Platanova sat far down the side, a moody, inScrutable expression in her dark eyes. At Spantz's right lounged Peter Brutus, a lawyer, formerly secretary to the Iron Count and now his sole represent ative among these people. He was a dark faced, snaky eyed young man, with a mop of coarse black hair that hung ominously low over his high, re- ceding forehead.
 Julius Spantz, the armOrer's son, placid young man of goodly physical proportions, sat next to Brutus, while down the table ranged others deep in the consideration of the worlds gray est problems. One of the women was Mime. Drovnask, whose husband had been sent to Siberia for life, and the other Anna Cromer. rabid red lec- turer who had been driven from the United States, together with her amia- ble husband. an assassin of some dis tinctiOn and many aliases, at present foreman in charge of one of the bridge

CHAPTER V.
THE COMMITTEE OF TEN,

THE COMMITTEE OF TEN
 R T has been said before that Trux- M ton King was the unsuspecting E object of interest to two sets of
 watchers. The fact that he was under the surveillance of the govern ment police Is not surprising when we consider the evident thoroughness of that department, but that he should be continually watched by persons of more sinister cast suggests a mys- tery which can be cleared up by wis., iting certain underground room un- known to the police scarce two blocks from the Tower of Graustark
 There were two ways of reaching this WindOwleSs room, with it's low ceilings and dank airs If one had the secret in his possession he could go down through the mysterious trap door in the workshop of William SpantZ, armOrer to the crown, or he might come up through a hidden aper- ture in the walls of the great govern ment sewer which ran directly paral- Tel with and far below the walls of the quaint old building. One could take his choice of direction in ap- preaching this hole in the huge sewer he could come up from the river, half mile away, or he could come down from the hills above if he had the courage to drop through one of the intakes.
 It is of special significance that the trapdoor in Spantz's workshop was reserved for use by the armorer and his more fastidious comrades, of whom lished functionary in the royal house. hold.
 The committee of ten represented the brains and the activity of a rabid coterie in Edelweiss, among them selves styled the Party of Equals. In plain language. they were reds"
 The nominal leader was William Spantz, he who had a son in the princes household, Julius SpantZ, the master of arms Far off in the hills above the Danube there lived the real leader of this deadly group-the. Iron Count Marian,z, exile from the land of his birth. hated and execrated by ev cry loyal Graustarkian, hating and generating in return with a tenfold greater venom.

 Every man in the party, and there were eight, for Olga was not a mem part of his face false black beard of huge dimensions-not that they were averse to recognition among them selves, but in the fear that by some hook or crook Dangloss or his agents might be able to look in upon them.
 Brutus was speaking. "The man is a spy. He has been brought here from America to Tul1is."
 ''We shall continue to watch his every movement" said William Spantz. "Time will tell When we are posi- tive that he is detective and that he is dangerous tbere is way to stop his operations"
 "Dangloss suspects more than one O. us,' ventured Brutus. his gaze travel ing toward Olga. There was lewd ad- miration in that steady glance. But we'll fool the old fox. The time will soon be here for the blow that frees Graustark from the yoke.'
 It appeared in the course of his re- marks that Marlanx had friends and supporters in all parts of Graustark. Hundreds of men in the hills, includ ing honest shepherds and the dishonest brigands who thrived on them, coal miners and wood stealers, hunters and outlaws were ready to do his bidding when the time was ripe. Moreover. Marlanx had been successful in his design to fill the railway construction crews with the riffraff of all Europe, all of whom were under the control of leaders who could sway thern in any movement provided it was against law and order. .s, .,
 With a cunning that commands ad- miration. the Iron Count deliberately sanctioned the assassination of the fit- the prince of the reds, knowing that the condemnation of the world would fall upon them instead of upon him and that his own actions following tho regicide would at once stamp him as irrevocably opposed to anarchy and all of its practices!
