A GRANDSTAND PLAY

American game he is considered
who make circus-plays now and then
and the rest of the time play like
"dubs"
And that in general. was pretty
much the position occupied by Bud
AIllson, the captain and short-stop of
the famous Red Lot Team. The ju-
venlle players themselves well knew
why they had elected him their
leader. though many of the teams
most ardent supporters often won
dered about it. All of which goes to
show, you see, that there's a great
deal more to baseball than merely
catching and hitting the ball.
Bud was never sensational Bud
never made a play look hard just to
win the applause of the grandstand.
Like Lajoie, the wonderful second
paseman of the Cleveland American
League team. his marvellous ability
to cover ground, his GOODNESS and his
remarkable throwing arm made it
easy for him to pull off plays which
would have been difficult, If not i'm
possible, for most players. His one
thought was to win the game. And
he worked like Trojan--always.
Now the Red Lots had enjoyed a
most successful season, as you will re-
member, If you have been reading
these chronicles of their victories and
defeats this past summer. In only a
few instances had they been forced
to lower their colors to a rival. And
you may be sure, defeat had been bit
ter-especially in the case of the team
from Clarkesburg. They had lost to
them earlier in the season by the
score of eight to fiye-and on their
own grounds. too!

Sometimes another keeper will pre-
tend to be angry with her favorite
and will grab him by the shoulder
and push him around quite roughly;
instantly "ZuS" sets up such fero-
cious chatter as you never heard be-
fore and her eyes snap and burn with
hatred and rage. And the instant the
teasing keeper releases his hold on
her favorite and walks away "Zuk's'
whole manner changes and-she Is
happy again.
1T must have been a case of love
at first sight" says her keeper by
way of explanation. Somehow, 'Zuk
took a great fancy to me the very
first time l saw her. And she never
seems to forget my face or my voice.
Why, once 1 was i'll for long period
and when, upon my recovery. I re-

to the skies as just about the finest

The thing they remember is the

he's entitled to sort of slip back and

team-what of the lad who, some

play? The quiet, hardworking,
steady player who but rarely does

And now. now had arrived the long
awaited opportunity to 'even up the

being played. it is true, on the
Clarkesburg diamond. but even at
that the Red Lots felt they could win.
Clarkesburg was one of the very
best teams in the entire State and. If
the truth be told, trifie too old for
the Red Lots to hope to beat. But
then, as Capt. Bud expressed it. I'VE

and a team of Methuselas haven't got

hundred years old!'
And so, with that kind of spirit,
they had gone into the game. And
for eight long. nerve-wracking in
nings they had been fighting them
off-trying to maintain a one-run
lead.
1t was Swiftly Millen who had
scored the lone tally in the very first
inning; he had drawn base-on-
balls. stolen second, advanced to third
on an error and scored-by an eye
lash-on a long fly to deep center.
That put a good bit of heart into the
Red Lot boys, especially since 1t had
happened in the very first inning. 1t
seemed to give promise of more runs
later.
But, alas, Martin, the Clarkesburg
pitcher, had Immediately frightened

less the home plate. So. you can well
imagine how big that lone tally
loomed up in their eyes.
From the defensive end, the Red
Lots had managed to hold the enemy
runless, though in the third, fifth and
seventh innings it seemed almost GER

forge ahead. Indeed, 1t had been

er. and the steady. cool, deadly GER

saved them.
Time and again ''Smoke-ball" had
struck out the batter with the bases
"loaded." And Captain Bud had ac-
cepted eleven chances at short-stop
without an error.
And now it was the last half OF the
ninth inning.
The score stood Red Lots. L;

hold them in check the game would
be won-just one short inning, just

WV often wonder whether or not
hate each other and in short, feel
emotions just as human beings do?
Now, while no one truly knows
what goes on in the unfathomable
brains of the forest creatures, there
are some naturalists who maintain
mestic. have the same loves and hates
as the human animal and are, furth-
ermore, intelligent enough to display
their emotions to such an extent that
man can recognize them. Here are a
few instances in point-and everyone
of them is true story:
Not long ago, in the big Zoo at
Washington, D. c.. there was a hyena
named Jerry who had attained the re-
markable age of twenty years. One
day the keepers were amazed to see
Jerry. frenzied and fierce. biting huge
chunks of flesh out of his hind leg
literally tearing himself to pieces.
They tried to make him stop, but
without avail, SO they had to kill him.
Many claim that he was trying to
Coiii1llt weary Oh MS ilOUOt-
onous life within the narrow confines
of his cage. But others insisted that
poor Jerry had no conscious intention
of taking his own life and that, his
nerves giving away from old age, he
followed his natural instinct to bite
and kill, and attacked himself since
there was no other living thing within
his reach. At all events. Jerry must
certainly have been tired of living a
life in which he could no longer roam
the fields after prey and mingle with
his brethren.
In the same Zoo is a coal black
leopard that has taken a particular
aversion to one of the keepers who,
by the way, never teased, mal-treated
or harmed the animal in any way.
The leopard simply hates him for some
reason known only to himself or more
likely, for no definite reason at all.
But whenever this keeepr steps be-
fore his cage, the leopard-even
though a moment before he may have
been lying quietly and sullening on
the floor of his cage-straightway be-
comes frantic and tries to spring
through the bars and get at the OBJ
ject of his hatred.
Another case quite similar to this Is
that of a panther whose ceaseless
pacings to and fro stop instantly,
whose whole body becomes tense and
whose every movement shows intense
hatred-the very moment little col
ored boy or girl walks up to the rail-
ing before his cage. 1t is a strange

the batter out-guessed him, struck at

of his bat and sent 1t whizzing over

Swiftly" Millen came tearing in
from center-field with the crack of
the bat and, while he couldn't get
near enough to catch the ball on the
fly, he did get 1t on the third or fourth
bounce and held Perkins on second.
