Coaching by Violence.

Before baseball coaching became an
exact science. any substitute was con-
sidered good enough to send out beyond
first and third and coach the runner
around the bases, or stop him IL he ran
wild. Hugh S. Fullerton, In Watch
His Arm" in the American Magazine,
tells of irresponsible coaching in the Chi
cago Cubs. He writes
what did more to call Chances atten-
ton to this defect In mis- team work than
anything else was a bit Of coaching that
came near turning victory into a tie in
one of the most sensational games of the
season. Mathewson and Brown were en-
gagged in a wonderful pitchers duel be-
fore a great crowd Neither team had
scored and 1t seemed as IL neither ever
could score against the magnificent mani
pulation OF the ball by the two master
artists Of the league. With one out, Tin
ker, who alone Of the Chicago club hits
Mathewson hard, drove terrific line hit
to left center into the corner Of the field.
The crowd went wild. Tinker spirited
around to third. 1t looked as IL he could
walk to the plate. but suddenly thinner
man, who was coaching at third base
leaped In front OF the runner, tackled
him and strove to drag him back to the
bag. Tinker fought, struggled, broke
away finally and raced on, beating the
ball to the plate and scoring the run that
gave the Cubs l to o victory. And
Limmerman's excuse was that he was
blinded by the sun and thought Tinker
would be caught. The time was d. m,
and Tinker was batting due east. After

THE SECRET OF THE G.

THE SECRET OF THE CELLAR.
1t was moment before fully un-

ordinary words. When did under

had been at such pains to build-Athe
structure founded upon the assumption
OF Miss Lawrence's innocence. She
was only an adventures. after all
then; or, more probably. only a weak
woman, swayed by an ungovernable
passion. risking everything rather
than give up the man she loved; de-
ceiving him. lying to him, taking the
one desperate chance that lay within
her reach; pausing at nothing so she
might gain her end.
Or perhaps she had really believed
that old mistake of hers buried past
resurrection. She may have thought
him dead, this fascinating scoundrel
who had turned her girlish head. She
may have thought herself free. But
even then her skirts were not wholly
clean She should have told her lover
she should never have permitted this
shadow to lie between them--this skel-
eton, ready at any moment to burst
from it's closet. But better far that 1t
should burst out when 1t did, than wait
until the sin was consummated an

Marcia Lawrence was the object of the
plot, the conspirators had overleaped
themselves They should have waited
until the words were uttered which
bound her to her second lover-then,
had they sprung their trap, how they
might have racked her!
One other thing I understood-and
inarvelled that I had not understood
before / saw what Mr.. Lawrence had
meant by saying that the marriage
was not impossiblc-that the obstacle
could be cleared away--that It should
be for Burr Curtis3 to decide. But
even he, I felt. would hesitate to take
for his wife a woman just emerging
from the shadow of the divorce court,
however little she had been t. blame
for the tragedy which drove her there
- more especially since he must see
that from the very first she had not
dealt fairly with him. A fault con-
Tossed may be forgiven: a fault dis
covered is a different thing.
She had rot been brave enough to
confess: she had not trusted him: she
had deceived him. She had been guilty,
guilty! Those were the words which
sang and sang in my brain and would
not be stilled.
