THREE.FlNcER BROWN
MAY HELP OUT TINKER

II would be a queer twist in baseball
luck II Mordecai Brown should now re-
turn to the National League and help
Cincinnati to win the pennant. Joe
Tinker Is after him and will probably
buy his release from Louisville. where
he was sent from Chicago. Tinker
thinks there Ia q lot Of good baseball
IN Brown, and has ars~ ~ opened
negotiations for his purchase.
Brown was considered an ordinary
pitcher at st. Louis when he was
bought by Frank Chance and helped
the Cubs to win four pennants. II hs
Reds II would be the finishing touch
on a wonderful career.
Harry Wolverton, who is TO manage
the Sacramento team OF the Coast
League has bought Jack Bliss. the
veteran player Of the st. Louis club
Bliss came to the big league from the
coast, where he was a member Of the
famous battery of Joy and Bliss. which
was . mark for paragraphers all over
the United States.
That idea of Jimmy Callahan'e to
make his players refrain from the use
OF gloves in spring practice Ia a novel
one. to say the least. Jimmy's idea
10 that II the players use their bare
hands they will not throw to each
other with much force. and will thereby
save thetr arms from the usual sore
ness from sprinG ambish. Jimmy IL
also going TO introduce the sliding pit
used by the Giants.

How long would they continue to ex.

the time come when his passion ris.

these artificial embankments of his
soul, beat them down and sweep them
away?
At first the disparity between their

creation he had discovered and let lie
but because Of the youth and posi-.
ton OF the woman compared to- his
own maturer years. his desperate ex.
perience, and his social Withdrawal
had reinforced his determination to
live and'love without sign. But he
had dong since got beyond this. Had
he. been free'l would have, taken her

The little piles Of manuscript she
had noted were books that he had
written. He made no effort to con.
ceal such things from her. He talked
frankly enough about his life in the
hills, indeed there was no, possibil.
lily Of avoiding the discussion Of such
topics. On but two subjects was He
laexorably silent. One was. the pres.
