CHAPTER XIII.

A TRIPLE tie. Never was there
"A such an ending OF a cham

sibly in some hush league, possibly
in some obscure baseball organiza-
ton that no one ever heard of, such
a thing had happened. but II had
never been reported. Not even a
double tea tie between two clubs
had ever been recorded in the
American League. There had been
close races for the championship flag,
season-l long BATTLES, that were not de-
eided until the Anal game at the very
end of the season. but never a tie,
much less triple tie.
or course, the triple tie involving
the Boston, Philadelphia and Chicago
clubs had to be played OF, but there
was no rule IN the American League
to cover the point. The eight menu
bers OF this organization usually set

the easiest possible manner and their
method was simply to turn the matter

as fast as they stepped 20 the plate.
The seventh and eighth inning
passed, leaving only goose eggs in
their wake, and then came the ninth,
the last chance for the Athletics. The
top of the batting list was up. The
first two men died on infield ground
ers but Eddie Collins smashed a two
base hit between Speaker and Hoop

and yelled like mad. The great FRANK

sluggers in the business, walked 20

supplied with these emblems, ii took
Broadway again. and soon that cele-

of Forty second street, was a wav-

But enthusiasm does not always
win ball games, although some times
it helps a lot. The White Sox met

lected to start the game against the
men from Philadelphia. 1t was no
fault of this pitcher that the White
sox lost. 1t was the rocky support
he received. The errors were enough
to drive a temperance orator to
strong drink. Manager Callahan was
like a wild man as he watched his
players throw the game away. Be
tween his objection he would fran
tically kick UP the Polo Grounds sod

to witness the kind Of pail his men

his splendid scarlet plumage and this
chunky creature, with his apparently
unmanageable bill, you would not
think Of classifying them together.
The cranes are also related to the
herons. but the differences among
these various tribes are so great that
II is not easy TO classify them. Nearly
all have something remarkable about
their beaks. They have TO reach and
grub and scoop and grab for their
prey, and nature has provided them
with boat bills" spoon bills" pipe
bills and many other odd and fan
tastlc forms OF apparatus attached to
their heads. which, in some cases, look

pose with astonishing efficiency.

feathers. like a scalp-loCk on the back

tinction, which I'm his case. seems
to have almost fallen into desuetude.
With many of his relatives the crest
is a very attractive feature.
All OF these singular creatures be-
long to what the older naturalists
called the family of the wading birds.
They always have long slender legs
to enable them to wade into swamps
and shallow shore water in search OF

/ singular faculty Of standing for long
periods of time, with the utmost nom

! this would seem 20 be a feat requir-
ing very nice sense Of balance. but
since II runs in the family no doubt

In South America there is a species
of crane which makes a sound re-

sacred bird, protected and fed be-
cause of the services that he is be-
