that though he had ordered one dozen

CHAPTER Xxx.
In Christie's Room.

Keith swept his glance up and down
che street without results. Surely
Hawley and his companion could not
have disappeared so suddenly. They
had turned to the right, he was GER
tain as to that, and he pushed through
the crowd of men around the theater
entrance, and fastened to overtake
them He found nothing to overtake
nowhere along that stretch of street,
iIlumined by window lights was there
any sign of man and woman walking
together. He stopped, bewildered,
staring blindly about, failing utterly to
comprehend this mysterious vanishing.
What could it mean? What had hap
pened? Glow could they have disap-
9eared so completely during that sin
gle moment he had waited to speak to
Fairbain? The mans heart beat like
a trip-hammer with apprehension, a
sudden fear for Hope taking posses
sion Of him. Surely the girl would
never consent to enter any of those
dens along the way, and Hawley
would not dare resort to force in the
open street. The very thought seemed
prep0sterous, and yet, with no other
supposition possible he entered these
one after the other in hasty search
questioning the inmates sharply, only
to find himself totally baffied-Hawley
and Hope had vanished as though
swallowed by the earth. He explored
dark passa ge-ways between the scat
tered buildings, rummaging about
Tecklessly, but came Dack to the street
again without reward.
Could they have gone down the 9th
er side, in the deeper shadows, and
thus reached the hotel more quickly
than it seemed to him possible? There
was barely a chance that this could
be true, and yet Keith grasped ut 1t

SLOWS
SPEEDY CATCH1ERS
Nationals Backstops May Try Experiment of Standing
Erect Behind Plate in Order to Keep Front in Run
nng-Kahoes Famed Collar Button.
BY SENATOR"

One Of the novel experiments to be
tried out by the Washington club during
its stay at the training camp at Char
lottesville will be to reach decision
as to whether the catchers are to squat
behind the plate or are to stand up in
handling the pitchers.
In the opinion Of many there Is no
more antiquated feature in the game to-
day than the plan which forces a back
stop. TO rob himself Of most of his
speed by assuming an unnatural POSI-
tion on the theory that he can better
hide his signals from opposing batters
and coachers.
Griffith admits that he has many
times discussed the situation, but he Is
not likely to give his catchers any
absolute orders until the season is about
to begin. However, two of his trusty
advisers at the present time are unal-
terably opposed to the manner In which
the catchers have been doing their work.
The pair Is Mike Kahoe and Mike Mar
tin.
"It's Dead Wrong"
"I caught enough games while l was
In the harness to convince me that this
business of squatting down on the
launches to give signals is dead wrong"
said Kahoe today. According to fig
ures, catcher has to get down be-
tween 15O and 200 times a day when he
Is working and in the case OF double
headers twice that often. The strain
Is so severe that the legs soon stifen
up and then a man naturally loses all
his speed long before his receiving falls
off enough to get him out of the league
There is absolutely no reason Tor
the squat. In the old days when some
batteries seemed to think they ought
to have about dozen signals IL was
somewhat different. but today good
catchers are using but two signs to let
the pitcher know what he is to pitch.
Why these can't be given by a glance,
the movement Of hand or lifting or
foot, or by a dozen other methodS, Is
something l have never understood.
Used Collar Button.
Once in a minor league when l was
crippled, could not get down but by
the use Of a collar button in the mouth
1t worked perfectly with the pitchers.
II / showed the button out 1t meant
fast ball, and II the pitcher could not
see It, 1t was a curve.
II am willing to predict right now
that the day of the squatuns catcher
Is coming to a speedy end
Mike Martin has just as decided
views of sQuatting as has the scout,
but the trainer takes the view purely
of the physical disadvantages.
Just look over the catchers In the
two leagues and see how much speed
they have left. OF course, some of the
young ones can step along at a pretty
good clip, but the others are so slow
ed up that they are practically help
less on the paths. Jim Mcclure.

Team.

CHICAGO, Feb. 12.-Joe Benz, OF
Batesville, Ind. is going to Waco a
week from next Thursday night in
Manager Callahan's first White SoX
squad to begin his fight for regular
place on the South Side pitching staff.
Benz Is almost sure to be kept on
the SoX team through the regular sea-
son. Manager Callahan's ship is not
loaded to the guards with pitchers
this year, but even If it were Benz
would have a good chance of stick
ing aboard.
The big right handler won the favor
of President Comiskey by his showing
in that nervous S to 7 battle between
the SoX and Cubs. He was sent in as
rcscuer for Doc White, who. in his
turn, had been hurried to the relief
of Jim Scott. The Cubs had a large
lead when Benz entered, but he held
them at bay and gave the Sox a

the only veteran pitchers on the SoX
list this year. Benz, Delhi, Mogridge,
and Peters are the youngsters. 1t

were retained, but II a couple are let
go Benz isn't likely to be one of the
unfortunates.
Benz is still a young man and hasn't
had a great deal of professional ex-
perience in baseball. His showing in the
Western League last year was Won

ten, and the club he was working for

Ceveland Veteran First Basenan May Be Seen With Nationals Sue
GEORGE STOVALL
MAY COME HERE
Charlie Somers May Accept Offer for Veteran First Base
man and Season May Find Him Guarding Cushion at
Florida Avenue-Griff in Chicago
BY SENATOR"

That George Stovall, the former
Cleveland manager, may be member
of the Washington ball club within the
next couple Of days is report COM
ing from Chicago. where the owners
OF the American League are gathering
for q meeting.
Before leaving home for Chicago
President Somers, of the Maps, said
that he had under advisement offers
from four clubs for the services of the
big first baseman, and the opinion Is
that Washington is among the teams
that have made propositions.
1t is an open secret that Clark Grlf-
fifth is most anxious to land man for
first base who has enough ability. both
as a fielder and as hitter. to insure
a strengthening Of the first corner in the
infleld.
StovalI has written the Cleveland Of
ticials expressing his willingness to try
hard under the management of Harry
Davis. but when it is recalled that
Stovall was very indignant when Davis
was named as his successor, the Maps
are willing to part with the player if
any other club makes an attractive
offer.
In Lonely majesty.
Miss Lima Lindig, secretary to the
manager, is today sole guardian of the
headquarters of the Washington ball
club, while Clark Griffith is in Chicago
mingling with magnates, hoping to be
able to put through some sort of a deal
that might strengthen the Nationals.
IT had not intended attending the
meeting in Chicago, but when l recon-
sidered I thought that there might be
something doing, so l decided to 60"
Griffith said before leaving here yes
terday.
II haven't any deals figured out, but
am open to any sort of "a proposition
that might help us out You know it's
pretty late now, and nothing may hap
pen, but l will be on the job, sort of
hoping against hope"
Start This Week.
The shortness of time remaining be-
fore the call of the diamond will be
abroad in the land is indicated by the
fact that before the dawn of another
week the invasion of the Southland will
be under way, with the New York Ma
tionals as the vanguard. Within three
weeks every one of the sixteen major
league clubs will have pitched their
training camps, and the work of prepar-
alton will be on in earnest. The seasons
for the championships open two months
from last Saturday.
One of the deals that will appeal es-
pecially to followers of the National
League and which may be consummated
ct the league meeting in New York to-
morrow Is the proposed transfer of
"ThTee Finger Brown from Chicago to
Philadelphia. Horace Fogel and Charles
Murphy, the two talkative magnatcs,
are said to have reached an agreement
