At dinner that night Prendy related in de-
tail the tremendous amount Of work he had
cleared from his desk during the day. Old
man Ream looked at his son curiously. but
made no remark. He had left the tempering
of Prendergast to him, and It was not his
nature to interfere where once he had placed

Where He Got the Big Idea.

Il really owe my present success to that
position. It took the stress of worry of my
mind and left me free TO think. AS sat
there during the next few days I began to
evolve plans for the future. Our inventory
now showed but SIS to our credit and
realized that some quick action was neces-
sary.
My mind turned naturally to my profes-
sion as window trimmer. But could call no
method to mind by which I could earn a
living Then one evening as waited for a
street car 1 noticed a man attempting TO
dress a window in a small dry goods store.
He was proceeding clumsily. Al idea popped
into my head.
why couldn't this man be willing to
spend a couple of dollars to have his dis
plays made by a man OF experience
acted on the impulse and crossed over to the
store Ten minutes later I was engaged in
trimming the window. When finished the
man handed me $3.50.

For everaI days Prendy Joked about the
Job and then gradually he became silent
After a time even his ornnipresent Jocularity
seemed to desert him. And when one night
the old gentleman laid aside his paper to In
quire. How's the busy man these days?
Don't hear him saying much" Prendy 50 far

earnestly

1894, '95 and 90, with Walter
Brodie and Kelly. Brilliant field
ers, hard hitteFs and great base
runners were they, and Keller
was mightiest of the trio.
March 8, 1912, Keller was 40,
and, like so many players, he left
the major league at SO. His last
appearance under the big top was
with the Giants, in 1910, as emer-
gency hitter. Although he bat
ted 800 for the short time he
played, the zip was gone from the
vet and McGFaw released him.
Keller played 20 years, start
ing with Biaghampton, in the
Eastern league, in 1892, and bat
ting 1873, which caused New
York to grab him. In 1893 he
was with both New York and
Brooklyn, but was returned to
Binghampton, although while
cup there" he batted 1873. In
1894 Ned Hanlon signed Keeler
for Baltimore: Keeler's wonder
full career really started and it
continued without a break until
1906, when, for the first time,
as a major Lacquer, he batted be-
low 300.
Keller holds the worlds rec
ord for the greatest number of
hits in a season. In 1897 he ac-
cumulated 243 singles for an
average of ,4s2. His fielding work
the previous year makes him the
grand All American right fielder
from 1871 to 1910.

head off in an effort for long
hits.
Always crowding the plate,
Keeler grasped his bat near the
middle and hit to any field at
will; the helders never knew
where to play for him. Right or
left-handed pitchers looked alike,
and, no matter how they pitched
to him, tWee Willie" placed the
ball where he wanted to.
Don't imagine Keller didn't
crack the ball out for long hits
when he felt like it. Let an out
fielder creep in for a Texas
Lacquer, and Whang! the ball
would land on the ungqarded
spot, near the fence.

faster than at any time in his.
