confidently to the plate, big, strong,
fine looking. The yells of the spec
tators ceased as he stepped into the
batter's box and faced Big Ed Walsh
squarely-all save those from the
Chicago section of the grandstand.
There were cries of Back to the
bushes," Strike him out, Ed! :"
Make the $4,000 beauty look like
so cents and so on.
If Gordon heard these remarks, he
gave no indication of it. He stood
squarely at the plate, waiting for the
great Walsh to pitch to him.
This is easy money, Ed" said
SChalk, as he stopped to give the
sign to his pitcher.
Walsh made no answer, but, sweep
ing his eye around the bases and over
the outfield, he took his position on
the rubber. moistened the first two
fingers of his right hand behind his
glove, wound up and hurled the ball
with all his force toward the plate.

Gordon Kelly would not offer at the
first ball pitched to him, no one but
Ed Walsh himself ever knew.

Taking one stride forward, Gordon
swung his bat against the ball and
drove it on a line past the short
stops head and out into left field.
Bodie saw a streak coming toward
him. He spread himself out like an
adjustable hatraCk and put down his
hands. The bah shot through them
like a knife through boarding house
butter, bounded against the left field
stand and Caromed off, like a bill
lard bali that hits a fast cushion,
and rolled away with Bodie and Mat
tick in frantic pursuit.
With the crack of the bat, Gordon
Kelly dug his spikes into the earth
and started around the bases, with
three Red SoX runners ahead of him.
With the speed of a greyhound, and
to the accompaniment of a bedlam
of wild cheers, he raced past first
base, second base third base, caught
up with Cady before that player
reached home, and dashed across the
plate with the fourth run two seconds
ahead Of the ball.
