u RANK WHITNEY, of Cedar
Rapids, fighting the best bat
tie of his life, won the deci-
sion over frankie Russell. of New
Orleans, in a furious round
mill at the Auditorium Armory. 1t
was a slashing, scientific bout, with
Whitney the better man at all
styles of scrapping.
Russell verify underestimated his
opponent in the first round, for
Whitney did little or no work. But
he was studying his man all the
time he was lOating. In the second
spasm Whitney woke up, and from
then on always held safe lead.
Russell earned the first and
sixth rounds. The second, third,
fourth, seventh. eighth and ninth
rounds were Whitneys. The fifth
and tenth were even
In the seventh round Whitney
fought like a champion and had
Russell wabbling at the bell. Many
thought that the Pelican was STALL

up; others believed ne was really

that a sign of Canary" suddenly
put in appearance along the spinal

more,
Russell Not Too Game.
Russell is clever two handed
lad, but l don't believe he is the
gamest young boxer in the world
by any means. And he doesn't
shoot his punches straight enough
to beat a man like Whitney. From
New Orleans we had heard that
Russell possessed a lightning left
jab and straight from the Shout
der right to the body. Both of these
punches were sadly lacking against
Whitney.
Instead, Russell kept swinging
with both hands. This was meat
for Whitney, who always got inside
of the half-circles and whipped
both hands straight, either to the
body or head.
Realizing that he would have to

THROUGHOUT the member

ternity, the Southern is
known as pitchers league" Fig
ures culled from the dope books of
1911 and 1912 prove beyond perad-
venture of doubt that the charge
is not untrue.
Thre Southern league athletes
of 1911 were in the Pacific Coast
league last season. Dickey Bay
less who pasted for a .261 mark
down here, slugged the Coast league
pitchers for a mark of .31S. Doane,
who pastimed with New Orleans in
1911, raised his smuggling reputation
from .276 to .SO9. Elmer zacher,
who piled up an average of .277,
only batted .210 with Chattanooga
in 1911.
In the International league, the
difference is not quite so marked
as to three athletes, but there is
still a healthy margin in favor of
the pitching class of the Dixie cir
cult. Swacina hOisted his record
from .294 to .317. To give due cred
it. however, it should be said that
the former Mobile manager had the
pitchers goats in this league. Noisy
Bob Higgins. who was wont to
punch hits for Chattanooga to the
tune of .239, amased a record of
.261 in the International The eX-
ception is Joe Agler, who batted II
points higher; but nobody can ever
figure how Joe reached .264 in this
league.
Ham Patterson, with Chatta-
nooga and Nashville in 1910, only
stocked for PAS, but he had no
trouble in passing for 1905 last year.
Bill Lindsay, former Pelican short
stop, who was lucky when he batted
around $50 in this league, went up
to 318 with Portland.
In the American association Rudy
Hulswitt. who barely exceeded the
200 mark under Billy Smith, bat
ted for 1903. Herman Bronkie, who
formerly batted $50 and there
abouts with Nashville, had
healthy looking mark of .270. Beau
miller. shortstop for Atlanta
awhile, offers an exception, drop
ping from 294 to .254.
In the Northwestern. a league
which boasts of being just as high
class as the Southern, Herr Meek
hoisted his record from 800 to .346,
and Dutch" Altman, former Mem
phis third sacker, boosted his swat
mark from .226 to 2S3.
Tendency of Southern league
graduates to bat higher in the ma
jors than down here has often
been commented on. In some
measure. this is due to the fact
the youngsters get better but the
facts in the case are that the
Southern is almost as hard to bat
in as the majors, and much harder
than the Glass AA circuits.
The following table will show
that you want to subtract about
40 points from a mans record in
the Pacific Coast or Northwestern,
and 20 or 80 from his American
association or International rec
ord to find what he'll bat in Dixie.

Possessing apparently all the essen

To put it very plainly, unnecessary

CHAPTER xv.-contInued.

THAT is true, Lizzie; it was irreg-
ular, and certainly very announcement.
And It is serious enough, so far as
breaking my engagements Is con-
cerned. But the circumstances were
very unusual and-pressing. Some
one else gave the message at the no
tel. and, as you know, l had no time
even to get satchel."
That's what / said when the re-
porters came-that you were so Wor-
rfed over your sick relative that you
did not wait for anything"
Agatha groaned. "Did-did the pa
pers have much to say about my
leaving town."
"They had columns, Miss Redmond,
and some of them had your picture On
the front page with an announcement
of YOUR elopement. But Mr. Straker
contradicted that; he told them he
had heard from you. and that you
were at the bedside of a dying rela-
tive. Besides that, Miss Redmond, the
difficulty in getting up an elopement
story was the lack of probable man.
Your manager and your accompanist
were both found and interviewed, and
there wasn't anybody else in New
York except me who knew you Your
discretion, Miss Redmond, has always
been remarkable"
Agatha was suddenly tired of Lizzie.
Very well, Lizzie, that will do. You
may go and get your own things I'M

course. Miss ReTmond?"
mo. but l have written to him, ex-
planning everything. Why?"
"Oh. nothing; only when l sent him
word that l had heard from you, he
said at first that he was coming here
with me. Some business prevented
him, but he must have telegraphed."
Maybe he has; but it takes some
time. evidently, for a hidden person
to be discovered in Ilion."
AS soon as the words were off her
lips. Agatha realized that she had
made a slip. One has to look sharp
when talking to a sophisticated maid
But were you hiding, Miss Red
mond?" Lizzie artlessly inquired.
"Oh, no, Lizzie; don't be silly. The
telegram probably went wrong; tele
grams often do"
Not when Mr.. Straker sends them,
proffered Lizzie But If his kilograms
have gone wrong, you may count on
his coming down here himself He is
much worried over the rehearsals
which begin early in the month, he
said. And he got the full directions
you sent me for coming here; he
would have them"
Agatha knew her managers peril
nacity when once on the track of an
object Moreover, the humor of the
situation passed from her mind, Ieav
ang only a vivid impression of the
fTouble and worry which were sure to
follow such serious breaking up OF
we'll established plans. She was rare
iy capricious, even under vexation
but she yielded to a caprice at this
moment, and one, moreover, that was
berry unjust toward her much-tried
manager. The thought OF that man
bursting in upon her in the home that
had been the fastidious Hercules
Thayer's, in the midst of her anxiety
and sorrow over James Hambleton
was intolerable.
Elf Mr.. Straker should by any
chance follow me here, you must tell
him that can not see him." she said

in righteous indignation.
