Sioux City Journal: Although the
present season still has about ten days
to run, managers and club owners are
figuring on next season. But Manager
Josh Clarke is in a dilemma. Says
Brother Josh: (Which is the proper
thing to do-go out and get a bunch
of ball players whom you know can de-
liver, or take on a bunch of recruits,
and devote your time trying to develop
them and finish in the second division?"
Personally Josh is keen for the old
heads-the boys who know the game
from A to and who never do the
wrong thing at critical junctures. But
the element of chance enters into the
trying out of youngsters. diamond
in the rough may be picked, developed
and sold for a fancy sum. AS condi-
lions now are in the league, the sale of
a couple of ball players in a season
usually puts the clubs finances on the
right side of the ledger. But baseball
history proves that where one recruit
succeeds, hundreds fail. Therefore, the
question naturally arises: Is the game
worth the candle? Take Jack Hen
bricks pennant winning teams, for in
stance In the past three years has
Jack done much experimenting, aside
from the few rockies he has taken to
spring training camp? He has not.
All his men have been time tried and
true ball players. The lesson is obvious.
On the other hand Jack Holland, of
st. Joseph, has devoted much of his
time to trying out youngsters and has
been lucky enough to provide the big
show with some promising material.
But, again, where one manager sue
ceeds, dozens fail. Whatever the own
ers of the Sioux City club decide to
do, they must put winner in this town
if they stay here, or the bottom will
fall completely out of baseball in Sioux
City. In view of this they had better
adopt Clarke's plan and do no expert
menting.

The race was for three hundred
miles, thirty times over the ten mile
course with its sharp elbows and steep
hills, and was expected to take some
six hours Of continuous driving. The
strain was not light for the pilot at
the wheel.
For the first hour there was no in.

drove rather more sanely than usual.

jured. without F1oyd's r~eassuring nod.
Call me what you like" Stanton
permitted, between clenched teeth, as
he dragged out his handkerchief to
bandage the slender arm.
The appalled, crowd was upon them.
With a suffering roar the Duplex ma
chine rounded the turn and sped down
the straight stretch, its mechanician
staring back over his shoulder at the
wreck. But Floyd brushed the girlish
curls off his forehead and staggered
erect, helpless laughter shaking him.
Call you? ! think you've got the
best disposition an the worst temper
l aver saw! Tie this up an we'll
right the car, We've got to be movin'
on"
There We're plenty Of sympathetic
helpers. Incredible to the witnesses,
but as Floyd had f%oreseen. the Mer.
curry had not materially suffered. The
big a was righted by fifty hands;
Stanton and royd-unaided, accord
ing to racing rules-put on the new
tires, and took their seats amid hearty
admiration and good wishes.
Twenty minutes after she left the
course. the Mercury shot down 1t once
more. By the time the grand.stand
was fully aware that stanton had
got his again." and the ambulance
had been hurried changing to the
scene of the possible tragedy, the Mer-
curry whirled past. the judges, running
more comet.like than ever.
But Stanton took the turns conser
vatively; for him.
The race was lost. Even Stanton
could not regain the half-hour lead
given his competitors. Late in the
fourth hour he signaled Floyd to lean
closer, and when he was obeyed:
Where's the Duplex" he Ques-
toned eagerly.
"At its repair pit for the last hour"
Floyd made hopeful answer. AN
there's only the Atalanta ahead of
u.s."
Stanton shook his head, but let out
his car a little faster.
The Mercury came across the line,
at the finish, just five minutes behind
the Atalanta; to receive fully as great
ovation as the winning car. The
spectacular driving, the record Of the
fastest lap and highest speed ever
made on that course, the second place
won in spite Of the accident, almost
eclipsed the Atalanta's victory.
In the midst Of the joyous tumult,
Floyd descended, stiff and weary
enough after the continuous run of
five hours and fiftyeight minutes. But
Stanton did not follow; leaning upon
steering-wheel, the focus Of snap
ping cameras, curious crowds, and
blended congratulations and sympa.
Only when one Of the judges
owe to shake hands, was the ex-
made evident.
III I am to get out, some one will
have to help me-" announced Stanton
and unclasped his mask,
barring a face gray with exhaustion
under its coating Of caked dust.
And, in fact, 1t was necessary to aid
the cramped, over-taxed driver to dis.
mount from his car; to the wonder Of

was to start. the Mercury stood ready
with. in his place, the trim. khaki-clat
m0chanician, concerning whose pos
sible desertion Mr.. Green had spent
much worry. But the driver. Stanton
the unfailing. was missing. In the
midst of the gay hubbub Of the scene,
the Mercury camp was on the verge
OF frenzy.

cause quiet. as Mr.. Green came up
wiping his brows.
"Telephoned! I've telephoned to

to-to every one. He went to his no.
tel and dressed for the evening. after
he left here yesterday, and went OF
in an .Atalanta automobile with some
COMPOUNDED woman; that's all I can
learn. He came back to the no

Floyd's slender brown hand shut
hard on the edge Of the seat, his lip
curled slightly.
"A woman?" he repeated. his mer.
CHESS young voice singing.
They say so-and I'd al soon have
thought Of Ralph Stanton getting
drunk"
You'd better phone to the insane
asylum" advised the mechanician,
and turned his back to the whole af-
fair. watching the brilliant spectacle
before him with scornful gray eyes.
Five minutes passed. ten. The first
car was called to its station. The Mer-
curry had drawn fifth in the lottery for
place. Just four minutes before the
starting hour, a taxicab bowled furi-
ously ross the crowds, came to a
jerky stop at the edge Of the course.
and opened to emit It's passenger.

The Mercury drew up to her line on
