Gordon Kelly, mountain boy of
Georgia, goes to Atlanta. He be-

began playing again early in June,
and from that time on he surpassed
himself at bat and in the field. Steve
Yerkes was as steady as a rock at
second base, and his batting was
timely. He seldom failed to deliver
when called upon. Clyde Engle who
had to play first base nearly all the
year on account of the injury to Man
ager Stahfs foot, played the bag in a
manner that made the other first
basemen Jealous. The Catchers--
Carrigan and Cady-were like stone
walls behind the bat, and the pitch
ers-Wood. Bedient, Collins and
OBrien, with Hall and Leonard to
help out-performed wonders. In
short the whole team played like
wildfire and stood the other teams
on end as fast as they appeared.
From the first of July to the close
of the season the Red Sox did not
lose but one series to their opponents.
White Sox Terrors.
In the meantime. the Chicago
White Sox, managed by the clever
Jimmy Callahan with the OWNER of
the club, Comiskey-the "Old Rom
AMIN the background to help with
his sage advice) were going great
guns, too. Big Ed Walsh, the cele-
brated "spitball" pitcher, seemed un-
beatable. Scott Benz and the other
twirlers supported the mainstay
nobly. Schalk, the kid" catcher,
proved to be one Of the best back
stops in either league and held the
pitching of the entire staff with ele-
gance and grace, while his right arm
was a terror to base stealers.

territory like ten-second men and
batted like fiends. This great Chi

was not quite as sensational as the
Red Sox, plowed steadily ahead, and
when the Boston team reached sec
ond place the Windy City rivals were
close behind them, only a few points
separating the two teams in the per-
centage column.
In the meantime. the Athletics,
managed by the shrewd baseball gen
eral, Connie Mack, which had been
enjoying a sort of baseball buggy ride
the first half Of the season and had
already begun to count their worlds

Of the season in April, they took a
wonderful brace. They played the

Mr.. Winston Churchill has often
effectively silenced offensive inter-
rupters 1t is related that on one oc-
CASTOR, when addressing a large meet
ing in the North, he was frequently
disturbed by a man who persisted in
shouting Liar! Liar!" every few
minutes.
Winston bore with him for some
time but eventually broke off his
speech TO remark, in gentlest ac-
cents:
"If the gentleman at the back of
the hall who is so anxious that the
audience should know his name will
write it down on a slip of paper and
hand it to the chairman instead Of
bawling it at the top of his voice. he
will save himself a lot of trouble"
No more was heard of the inter-
rupter for the rest of the meeting.

Red Sox Climb.

BY the first of August the Red Sox
were in third place, after fioundering
around among the tail-enders for half
the saeson. BY the first of Septem-
Der the worlds champions were in
second place, only the Athletics, Of
Philadelphia, standing between them
and the leadership In the American
League pennant fight. The men were
playing with a dash and vigor that
surpassed their 1919 form. Iris
Speaker, the great center fielder, led
the league in batting and every day
he was getting his two or more safe
hits, most of them solid drives for
two or three bases or home runs
Duffy Lewis, the left fielder, was close
up in his stockwork and his fielding
and throwing were better than ever
Harry Hooper in right field was hav-
ing his best year, batting better than
he had ever done before and running

capture the American League pen

The Red Sox pitchers-the back

hitters took confidence and found

supporters OF the team took heart and

secured from Mildred Deery at her
bungalow, and which was published
in his paper, the great baseball pub
lie had heard nothing OF the $50. 900

when he left the hospital in Atlanta
and disappeared. The public knew
nothing of his palatial home In the
Georgia mountains, it knew nothing
Of his vast wealth, of his peculiar
life, of the tragedy of his fathers
death. It knew nothing of the grand
romance Of Gordon and Mildred, or
OF Gordon's conflicts with Forrest
Cain, or of his capture and detention
by the mountaineers. All the public
knew was that Gordon Kelly, the most
widely advertised ball player in the
world, the man the Red Sex had PAL
the stupendous sum of $50, 600 for.
the player every fan" on the Amer
lean League circuit was most anxi-
GUS to see perform, had mysteriously
disappeared
The name of Gordon Kelly had be-
come a byword wherever baseball
was played or discussed. Every time
a player on any team in any city or
town made a home run he was
Gordon Kelly" Ball players in the
big leagues, college ball players,
schoolboy players. and even the ur-
chins playing ball in the back lots
were always talking about the great
player This continued all summer
long all over the country, so that de-
spite the fact that the public did not
know what had become of Gordon
Kelly, his name was constantly on
everybody's lips and he was con-
stanty referred to in the newspapers.
