Il didn't have thing on it. replied the mysterious
pitcher. Il simply smiled at him with air Ct conf
dence and put right in the groove
This great pitcher of the Poison Oaks told the truth
when he said that he smiled. His face always broke
into tantalizing grin when facing batter in critical
stage of the game and, incidentally, that is what gave
him the name of 5000 Sam. When fan would veil
from the grandstand and asked him how he felt, Sam
would reply, "So-so," and smile. This gradually grew
into 5000, and the sobrquct hung to him throughout
his long career.

by his manager and fellow players that any request he
might make would be granted 1t not surprising,
therefore, that his manager consented to agreement

The great pitcher had made this provision before he
would sign contract. In fact, the manager looked
upon it more whimsicalty than serious

Enough for me- acquiesced the puzzled manager,
as he walked away shaking his head Many times after
that the manager would eye his eccentric pitcher with
a curious look, if wondering whether he mentally

the great pitcher continued to pile up victories he
was well satisfied. Sozo Sam would often pitch three
days in succession if the shining brightly and
would win all three games. If rainy spell set in he
would touch ball until every cloud had disappeared.
THE season rocked along this way for two months,
and it began to look if the Poison Oaks would
win in a walk. The people of Bobbletown gave Sozo
Sam entire credit for the great showing of the club and
he treated to everything good in the town. Royalty
could not have been shown respect and adnira-

THAT night Sozo Sam, the
: pitcher who chad nothing
was the toast of all Bobbletown.
His victory over the Nettle
Rashes had practically cinched
the pennant for the Poison Oaks,
and the town was trying to do him
honor. The local baseball writer's
gathered round the famous pitcher
at his hotel and begged him to
explain his wonderful work in de-
tail. One of them offered him a
full page in the Sunday issue for
signed story. Naturally, Sozo
Sam was pleased at the oppor-
tunity for more fame. and smiled;
but in answer to all their ques-
tions he would only shake his
head.

There was a big guffaw from

mark jeeringly:
"There you go again, Zeke.

As the beaten Nettle

park the young recruit. who

Zeke Bender had found his

"You can't tell me that fellow is

back to the bench and took dipper of
water after striking out. Ball players
always take a drink of water after

recall more instances than they
had fingers and toes when Sozo
Sam had given three batters
bases on balls, only to tighten up
and strike out the next three
men. He always managed to
conserve what strength he had
until a crucial moment, and then
by a dexterous move turn GER
tain victory for his opponents
into a humiliating defeat.
On the day following this con-
~ versation between Tarking-
ton, the former college boy, and
the recruit, an exciting game was
played at Bobbletown, the home
grounds of the Poison Oaks, be-
tween that club and their bitter
rivals. the Nettle Rashes. AS
usual, it was a stubbornly fought
battle up to the last minute.
Then the wonderful pitching of
Sozo Sam again triumphed for
the Poison Oaks. In the last
half of the ninth inning, Just
when the Nettle Rashes had
started a rally, he struck out
Steve O'Hara, Zeke Bender, and
Shorty Mckay in a row. There
were three men on bases at the
time, and a great howl of disap-
