we had to haul water five miles from

country, went up to the Swan-Hilda
district to play game of ball. The
gold miners up there offered US lib

picked team and we went. II it had
not been for me the home team there
would still be poor. Now the second
baseman and shortstop are million

men and pitcher are making money so
fast they don't know what to do with
it, while the outfielders and the
catcher are selling stock In the east

The grounds there were laid out on
a piece of level land just below the
mountain shelf. The big gold claims
and workings all are higher, and that
particular spot had been prospected
over many times and declared not to
be rich enough in gold to work. So no
one claimed 1t.

were giving us hard game and the
score was tied up in the eighth when

and with one man out and q man on
second base the batter hit the ball
far out to left field. The left fielder

and running In sand with those high

1t didn't seem possible he ever could
reach the ball and throw 1t back in

them from beating us right there.

Burke, the little Louisville infielder,
is about as quick with his wits 40 he
is with his hands and feet, az he
proved one day last summer. He was
playing third base and Dare Devil
Dave Altizer, who just then was hit
ting like nend, was batting for Min
neapolis and, as there was a runner
on first base and no one out, Burke
expected Altizer would dump q bunt
toward third base. 80 he came creep.
ing forward. foot by. foot, expecting
to get the bunt and throw to second
in time to force the runner there.
He was about IS feet. from the plate
when Altizer cut loose full force at
fast ball and hit 1t straight at Burke
like rife shot. The third baseman
saw 1t coming and dropped to the
ground like a flash, the ball whizzed
on over third base and down the line
for a two.base hit, a run scored and
Louisville was behind. Up in the
stand, near the front, wild-eyed fan
stood and howled:
"Oh, you shirker, you yellow quit
ter. What made you dodge?"
"My boy" called Burke in reply.
"this is game Of skill, not courage"
That Louisville club last season
had about the queerest run Of hard
luck of any team in history. It was
a pretty fair ball club, except that the
infield was shot to pieces by drafting
of the major league. and at times 1t
played good ball. The great trouble
was that 1t couldn't get over the ninth
inning. During the season the team
won one game in the ninth inning and
lost 20 In the final round after they
seemed to have the game cinched
If they had been playing eight-inning
games all season they would have
been close to the front instead of in
tail-end position. 1t got so that when
the ninth inning came every one on
the team expected an explosion, and
If it failed to come the crowd rather
was disappointed.
Finally one day when they were
playing Indianapolis and the score
was 2 to o in their favor with two out
and no one on the bases and two
strikes on the batter the umpire mis-
called strike that ought to have
ended the game. The batter promptly
made a base hit, the next man hit for
two lases and with men on second
and third the next batter rolled an
easy tcunder to the short stop. who
scooped it cleanly with plenty of
time to toss it to first and end the
agony. Evidently the nervous fear of
losing in the ninth again unsettled the
short stop, for instead of lobbing the
ball over he threw as hard as he
could and threw wide and low six feet
outside the tase. Owner Grayson
toppled over i'll faint-thinking the
thirtieth game had been thrown away
in the ninth, but Myers dived out, ex-
tended at full length, stabbed at the
ball with one hand, and by one of
the most wonderful catches ever
made chung to the ball and craw-
fished back to the base just in time
