NO DULL SPIKES
FOR ATHLETICS

According to A certain pencil push

Tor one of the Washington. r. c.. pa
pers. the Athletics are going TO get a
| mighty hot reception when the cham
pions engage the Senators in combat
again in the capital city next Monday.
In one of his articles the WASHINGTON
critic states;
Every time one of the Athletics
happens to have his shoes scraped by
the spikes fan opposing PLAYER there
are columns in the papers unhraiding
rowdy i,..,' baseball and sympathizing
With these nice clean gentlemen who
are drawing salary from Connie
Mack. That is what is vulgarly term
ed the bull. If ever there was a de-
llberate effort made to put a player
out of baseball it was Collins assault
on Gandil in the second game of the
second double header in Philadel-
phia. He deliberately took his knee
and hit him in the face as he was
sliding into the bag. There was no
occasion for the play, for Gandil was
clearly out. Collins is reputed to have
said when he saw Gandil was hurt:
Well. I got YOU, didn't ~ Just why
Gandil has been picked out by Mack's
players for their rowdyism is hard
to understand unless it is that he has
been thorn in their side in the pres
ent series. He has done most of the
hitting against them and they may
have figured that he would be a good
man to have out of the way. 1t will
be remembered that in Tuesdays
game here Thomas threw Gandil into
the air when he attempted to slide
into the plate. In making these at
tacks on the Washington's players
the champions may have made a mis-
take. Griffith has players who will
resent such tactics and they won't
be polite about doing it. There is
whole lot of grumbling in the ranks
and when the Athletics visit Washing
ton next week it Is needless to say
that they won't find any dull spikes"

UNDERWOOD HOLDS
KEY TO SITUATION

critical stage of balloting in the DEM

their 1913 votes on the twelfth ballot
made them in a sense, the key to the
Clark situation, for with them the
Clark total would be augmented we'll

thirds. But at the Underwood head
quarters there was not the slightest
indication Of directing the vote as the
balance Of power among the other
candidates. The sole idea is to keep
the Underwood forces together in tho
belief that it would gather strength
from all quarters in case a break
came from the candidates now in the
lead.
Reports were current early today
that II Underwood would step aside

While it was in progress there were
several fist fights on the floor. Those
who claimed to be in the confidence

there would be a switch from Clark

to say 1t. So he said nothing, and
grinned sheepishly as he said It.
The young man named Harry was
wondering how they were to proceed.
He had already studied the region
with dismay, when the girl resolved:
.Wen have to take another taxi.

Yes. Marjorie. but we can't take It

chauffeur ventured. II come this way

short cut" l4
TITS the longest short cut I ever
saw" the young man sighed, as he
gazed this way and that.
The place of their shipwreck was so
deserted that not even a crowd had
gathered. The racket of the collision
had not brought single policeman.
They were in dead world of granite
warehouses, wholesale stores and fac
tories, all locked and forbidding, and
full Of silent gloom.
In the daytime this was big trade
artery of Chicago, and all day long it
was thunderous with trucks and COM
merce. At night it was Pompeii. SO
utterly abandoned that the night
watchmen rarely slept outside, and
no footpad found 1t worth while to
set up shop.
The three castaways stared every
which way. and every which way was
peace. The ghost of pedestrian or
two hurried by in the far distance.
A cat or two went furtively In search
Of warfare or romance. The lamp
posts stretched on and on in both d.
rections in two forevers.
In the faraway there was a muf-
fled rumble and the faint clang of a
bell. Somewhere a street car was
humping along its rails.
"Our only hope" said Harry. "Come
along, Marjorie"
He handed the chauffeur five dollars
as a poultice to his wounds, tucked
the girl under one arm and the dog
basket under the other, and set out,
calling back to the chauffeur:
Good night"
Good night" the girl called back.
Good night" the chauffeur echoed.
He stood watching them with the ten
der gaze that even a chauffeur may
feel for young love Fastening to a
honeymoon
He stood beaming so, till their foot
steps died in the silence. Then he
turned back to the chaotic remnants
of his machine. He worked at 1t hope
lessly for some time, before he had
reason to look within. There he
found the handbags and suitcases, um-
brellas and other equipment. He ran
to the corner to call after the owners.
They were as absent of body as they
had been absent of mind.

Then he took from his pocket an
envelope addressed to Ira Lathrop IL
Co., and from the envelope he took a
contract, and studied 1t grimly. The
envelope bore Chinese stamp.
The porter, as he struggled with an
obstinate window, wondered what
sort OF passenger fate would send him
next.

street. Both of them knew their Chi

They hailed pedestrian, to ask
where the nearest street car line
might be, and whittier it might run.
He answered indistinctly from a dis

Perhaps he thought their question

sandbagging episode. In Chicago at
