On the Rench.

Runners were on first and third
bases. The game was close, and one
score for either team meant probable
victory. At the plate a batter, tense
and alert churned the inoffensive air
with short nervous motions Of his bat
Out on the whitewashed lines by first
and third bases two coachers ranted
and raved, paved the dirt, ran up and
down bowling encouragement TO the
batter and words of caution to the
runners. Stretched sprawling along
the bench a row of white garbed ath
letes watched the field before them
holding their poses as II frozen into
POSITION. Above and on both sides Of
them the noise waves of the great
crowd broke deafeningly as the root
ers' chorus sang the song of hope OF
another pennant which might be de-
cided in the next minute.
Suddenly, at the end OF the tense
line of athletes on the bench there
was a movement. A player with earn
est, but rather weary face, immobile
even in the moment when the whole
result OF his years work might be
ruined, raised his right hand to his
cap, lifted II an inch from his head,
replaced It and without muscle OF
his face twitching sat watching.
Like a fash the coacher at third
base sprang down the line. Look
out, Steiney," he screamed. Look
out, Frank" came the echo from the
first base coachers box.
The pitcher wound himself into fan.
tastic contortions.' From somewhere
out of the tangle OF revolving limbs a
ball shot like fash to the plate, into
the catcher's mitt. As the pitcher
started to wind up, the runner at first
base leaped 20 feet towards second
stopped, hesitated. and took a step
back towards first base. The catch
er, who had caught the ball in per
feet position, leaped forward, right
arm drawn back, watchful, alert, In
perfect position to throw to second
base. The crowd groaned. Another
strike on the batter; the effort to
steal balked. Slowly the catcher re
laxed from his tense poise. His arm
dropped and he started to throw the
ball easily back TO the pitcher In
that instant the runner at first base
was galvanized into action. Two tre
mendous leaps toward second, and he
was flying at full speed down the Line
The catcher hesitatihg a trice, tight
ened again into throwing position, and
threw like a rife shot to second just
as he caught glimpse Of figure
tearing homeward from third An in
slant later, in a whirling cloud Of
dust, a runner pivoted around the
plate, his foot dragging across the
rubber just as the ball, hastily hurleC
back TO the catcher, came down upoI

down. The run had scored. Th'
game was won. The crowd In
tumult of enthusiasm roared ant
screamed and shrilled its joy. Th
man at the end OF the bench let
shadow of a smile fit over his face
and watched more intently than ever

UNION DEPOT CROOKS.
Try to Carry Away Distance Telephone
Money Box.


Keokuk Nov. s.-One Of the most
daring acts that has been performed
at the union depot for some time oc-
CURED between midnight and daybreak
when two clever parties tried to carry
away the money box which is attached
to the long distance telephone, but were
unsuccessful
The case Is one in which two smooth
crooks attempted theft and left no clew
by which they can be traced. The tele-
iphone is in private booth which Will
only accommodate one person, ana
while in use the two doors of the booth
are closed in order to lessen the noise
of passing engines.
Thus it gave the two men an excel
lent opportunity OF working without
arousing suspicion. One man, accord
ing to the story told today, worked IN
side the telephone booth, while the
other maintained a guard on the out
side Judging from internal appear
ances the men We're we'll prepared for
their work. for tools of various kinds
were brought into use. 1t is thought
that they were frightened away, for
they did not remain to accomplish the
task.
This is the second time an attempt
has been made TO rob the money box
on this phone and it remains ques-
ton whether or not these men are the
same who made the attempt before.

Le4ars. Nov. S.-Yegsmen broke In
to the Farmers bank at Brunsville,
ono Of the new towns on the Hawar-
den-Merril CUTOFF and undertook to
dynamite the safe. but found one OF
the bullet-shaped impregnable type
and had to give It up as failure.
A little later they broke into . gen

also situated and took about $50 IN
postage stamps and small amount In
currency and made their escape. Of
Ulcers are searching for them, but there
Is only slight clew.
Only one man, b. Lukens. heard the
marauders when the explosion was eff

cause Of the noise.
A farmer, who was going home late
Saturday night after the business
houses were closed, met five men by
the roadside going in the direction OF
Brunsville. and 1t Is supposed they
were the ones who committed the rob-
berry. 1t is supposed they were able to
catch freight on the CUTOFF or over
the Great Northern and make their
