By HUGE s. FULLERTON.

Chic Fraser, the veteran pitcher who retired from the major leagues rather under pressure, then came back last season and pitched better ball than he has in years. lives at Park Ridge. III. Last summer he showed the natives a new method of salesmanship.
 It happened that Bill Kabow. the Park Ridge grocer. got stuck on a lot of prunes. 250 pounds of them He ac- oepted them and when he opened the boxes he found about the most dried up, shrivelsd. juieeless, worm-eaten. dusty lot of prunes ever unloaded. Even the boarding house keepers shied at them at less than cost price. and Fraser dropped in at the grocery one morning. sampled the cheese. ate some crackers, fished couple of pickles out of the barrel and drew a glass of cider before he noticed his friend Bill was in mourning. His inquiries brought out the story of the prunes. Chic climbed onto barrel. polished an apple and said:
 "Rin. how much will you give me to sell those prunes?"
 Give you half what you get" said the Respondent Bill
 Tell you what to do" said Chic You lend me about a dozen of those fresh p!ckerel, five or six nice fresh black bass. and a pound of those prunes. Then don't sell any of them until tell you. and raise the price four cents a pound"
 Shortly afterward Fraser, armed with hshpole and a package. diszp- peared toward the Dss Plainss river. and not long after that Kabow's deliy- cry wagon driver passed and dropped the fish. At noon Fraser appeared in the main street of Park Ridge with string of beautiful bass and pickerel, one of the bass a four-pounder, and he exhibited them all along the street be- fore he slipped them in the back way at KRbew's. That afternoon every bus mess house in Park Ridge closed and half the men Weat hshiaE-without catching thing. The next day Fraser came through town with another big string Of fish, and when questioned as to where he caught them acted so mys- teriously that spies were set to watch him
 Friday morning Fraser went fishing again and slipped away from the curi- Ous followers, after dropping several hints that it was all in the new bait be had discovered He hshsd quietly for time. then stuck his pole into the bank. crswled back into the shade of a tree and preteAdsd to sleep. Within nf- teen minutes a couple Of rival anglers crept stealthily along the bank, pulled in Fraser's line and found all three hooks baited with prunes. Before Sat urday noon Ksbow had sold cut the entire stock of bait prunes. and
