CHAPTER XIV.
A Feto Statistics.


THE Bears were going home holding grimly
to their claim upon first place in the
league race. With but seven games remaining
to be played all were against clubs already
beaten, and five of the seven were against
clubs considerably weaker in every depart
ment Only two games were to be played off
the home grounds. The Panthers had six
games to play, three against the Blues, team
equally as strong, but in bad luck, and three
of their six games were on foreign fields.
Swanson and Mccarthy sat together as the
rain pulled out, talking in low tones.
81 think Clancy is onto him." said Swanson.
Just hold your horses and sit tight. 1t isn't

bench to-day and has been watching Williams
all the time while pretending not to. Don't
make a move. I'm going to mingle and see il

Hardly had Swanson left the seat than Nc
Carthy was surprised by "Technicalties"
Feehan who without invitation, sat down in the
seat vacated by the shortstop.
Feehan was one of the odd characters de-
veloped by the national game, a reporter who
had travelled with the Bear teams for so many
years the players regarded him as a sort of
venerable pest who hadn't seen a ballplayer
since Williamson's day, and never such
catcher as Mike Kelly, a first baseman like
Comiskey a fielder like Tip O'Neil. He
sometimes was called -Four Eyes" from the
fact that he wore large, steel-rimmed glasses

Somehow Mccarthy knew the
next drive would be toward
him. He felt that Williams was
striving to lose the game, and
that he was pitching so as to
compel the batters to hit In the
direction of third base so that
the baseman and not he would
be held responsible for the de-
feat. He gritted his teeth and
crouched, waiting as the mighty

right-handed batter in the
league, faced Williams. Crouch.

a fast ball high and outside the

time to keep the ball from hit.
ting him on the head. The ball
broke through his hands and
rolled a few feet away. His
hands were numb to the wrists
from the terrific shock. He
stood still one trice. Then he
saw the runners had stopped,
bewildered They had lost
sight of the ball, so rapidly had
it Travelled and had stopped,
thinking he had caught it. He
leaped after the ball, framing
the play as he touched the
spinning sphere. He could have
run back to third base and
forced out one, but instead, as
his numbed fingers gripped the
sphere, he saw the possibility
of a double play and threw fast
and straight to Swanson, on sec
ond base, forcing out the runner
coming from first. Swanson,
catching the idea of the play in
an instant, hurled the ball back
to Mccarthy, who grabbed it
and touched out the runner
coming from second, completing
a double play that brought the
crowd to It's feet In applause
and saved the game.
Mccarthy heard the cheers.
He felt Swanson's big hand
beating him on the back and
heard the short-stOp calling him
Great Head" He was cold
with suppressed anger as he
walked to where Williams was
standing, still bewildered by the
unexpected play. He faced the
pitcher and said:

What did she say, Silent?" asked Nc
Carthy, sitting up in bed suddenly.
Jaw, go to Sleep" responded Swanson, as
he rolled over, chuckling at the manner in
which Mccarthy had betrayed his interest.
Before he commenced snoring Mccarthy had
fallen into pleasant dreams.
1t was nearly noon when Swanson and Nc
Carthy, who had slept away the morning,
descended to the hotel lobby In better frames
Of mind. The majority of the players were
lounging around on the chairs and settees,
waiting the luncheon hour.
Manager Clancy, serious and worried was
talking with a gray-haired man and a younger
man. Mccarthy observed them and grew I'M
comfortable under their close scrutiny as the
three turned toward aim and focused their
eyes upon him. He felt relieved when the
smaller man shook his head positively and
was not surprised a moment later when
Clancy came toward him and said frankly:

identity" He grasped McCarthy's hand and
gave 1t a crunching grip as he added: when

greatly with the sluggish, half-hearted exhi-
