Accompanied by a crowd OF

the team returned to New York.
Bohannon made an attempt to
regain his lost form. 1t was no
use. The blue hat, nodding in the
box above his head was a powerful
stimulus, but Biff's eye was gone,
and the bleacherites began to howl
at him.
One night, Johnny Merry. taking
an after-theater supper with his
wife in Broadway cafe, saw
gay party enter and take table
which had been reserved for them.
why, joint" said Mrs. Merry.
Look quick! Isn't that Mr.. Bo-
harmon with that blonde girl -
Johnny looked and groaned in
wardly. There was no mistaking
Biff's shoulders, even in the con-
Iventional black.
That's the lobster!" said john
ny bitterly. "He ought to be fined
for this! And cutting into the
grape, too! l bet l bust this bust
ness up somehow! If l don't he'll
bust the team!"
Johnny Merry was a strategist.
over and over in his mind, some
thing happened which brought
home to him the need for imme-
diate action.
The meek and lowly Reds, I'M
expectedly showing their teeth,
were giving Merry all sorts of
trouble. They were slamming his
star pitchers all over the lot. and
the fifth game proved to be rub
Der. The Reds had taken two oft
of the first four played.
The fifth game was close, and
big Larry Mexican, Biff's rival for
league honors behind the bat, pre-
pared for an emergency.
Mind, now" said he to Slade,
the Red pitcher. when / give
you the sign, sneak 1t over quick. "
! Larry lnew, and every other
ball player in the league knew,
that Biff had fell for a skirt" as
they phrased 1t, and Larry, be-
ling gifted with keen powers of
! observation, had already identi-
fled Biff's charmer.
In the lucky seventh, Merry's
team filled the bases with two
down and Biff at the bat. A long
hit would win the game. Biff took
three and two and waited coolly
for the deciding ball.
Here's where we lock Ii up in
the valisei" howled Merry, pirou-
citing off third base. "Heres
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1911-10-07

where we hit one a mile! He's
got to put 1t over for you Biff.
Murder 1t, boyi Laminate it,"
The time had arrived for Lar
rvs trick. He scratched his left
ear with his right hand and Slade
shook his head. A Marconi had
passed between catcher and pitch
er and back again. Biff squatted
slightly and waggled his bat up
and down in short, nervous circles.
She was liz the box; she had wav-
ed her hand to him. Here was
where he was going to break up
the game. In fancy, he could hear
the bleachers roar their salute.
He could see her smile at him as
he pulled up on third base.
Slade was winding up; beyond
question it would be a straight,
fast one; any pitcher would be a
fool to try and bend one" under
the circumstances. Just as Slade
untangled himself, Larry leaned
over and whispered in Biff's ear:
who's the good-looking guy in
the box with your girl?"
Biff gasped and turned his head
toward the stand.

Several times Biff received
square envelopes in the mail,
which he carried to his room, I'M

Biff's coat one afternoon, after
the latter had gone on the field,
and found one of these letters,
which he read aloud with great
gusto:

Run Dead Heat
At Fair Races

The Tacoma-Seattle derby run
yesterday at the racetrack of the
Puyallup Valley fair will have TO
be staged again today, Faustling
and Old Settler running a dead
heat. Old Settler was ridden by
a professional jockey and forged
ahead at the start, but Faustling,
mounted by little Danny Casey,
who was hurt last year in the
races, losing a foot, gained on the
Settler by degrees, finally creeping
up neck and neck at the finish.

WHY Is CONNIE MACK?
PART FIRST

Time-two hours before the
fourth game of the worlds series,
1910. Place-the parlor of a
suite in a Chicago hotel. Dis
cover tall, angular man of forty
or more. dressed in a blue serge
suit. white shirt and collar, and
dark necktie. He might be
school teacher or plain business
man. The telephone rings. He
takes down the receiver and
speaks:
This is Connie Mack.
How DIDO, Father O'Brien; glad
to hear your voice.
WHY have those tickets for you
for today's game. I'll leave them
with the clerk downstairs. =
Your welcome. Thanks!
Why-we hope to make four
straight"
Connie Mack hangs up the re-
ceiver, and says to his visitor:
1--WE have to look out for the
clergy, you know" He smiles,
but only for a moment. Before
other games he was continually
smiling and unmoved. But to-
day he is a solemn human being,
with nerves on edge and, obvious
ly, doubt troubling his soul. Then
he explains:
"Why-I was most all In an
hour ago. If I hadn't slipped
away and taken a walk by my
self, l believe I'd have been com
pletely all in"
"No wonder" l said. "You are
on the verge of the triumph of
your career. To win the worlds
championship has been your great
est ambition. Now that you're
in sight of the goal no wonder you
are almost exhausted.
"What real man wouldn't be?"
Mack shook his head. Its
not that" he said. I'm not
worrying about the game. It's
so much talking. Why-so many
people have been to see me. II
haven't talked so much in a whole
month as / have in these few
days here. You know I'm not
used to talking. 1t tires me aw-
fully talking does. Why-if I
hadn't taken that walk alone I'd
have been down and out"
l know of no other incident
that tells so much about my
friend Connie Mack. A loqua-
cious person is seldom a deep
thinker. A talker is often a
boaster. Connie Mack takes
plenty of time to think. And no
one ever heard him brag. On the
day he felt certain that his team
would win its fourth major league
pennant he said:
you've got to have the play
ers. You can't win without good
players"
But some clubs have good
players, and they don't win," I
said. isn't it poor manage
ment?"
81 suppose it may be-" he said,
cor else the good players are bad
actors. But you've got to have
the players"
Connie Mack always gives his
men the credit for winning. When
ever he can he takes the mistakes
on his own shoulders. He new
er seems to be thinking about his
personal glory. That can take
care of itself. Only a big man
is so wise.
