he were both against me. And then
my eye fell upon the little bulge in
his pocket where his pistol lay. and |

from his gridle and unlocked the

Nikolai had found the spring and
let down a small aperture In the mon

light came in. Now we could see that

the floor. The walls were apparently

some time to become acquainted with
the form OF the creature, since we

DOak Is Best Pitcher
in the National League

Winning 10 games and losing 6 and
having the least number of runs
earned off him in nine-inning games
enabled Doak, of the Cardinals, to
finish the National League season as
the premier hurler of the 1914 cam
paign. For a youngster Doaks per-
forn1ance was startingly effective and
his record holds easy comparison with
the big stars, Alexander Tesreau,
Salee, Mathewson, James, Rudolph
and Vaughn. The young Missourlan
really has shade on them all.
Bill James, of the Braves, finished
second with 26 victories and 7 de-
feats, while Alexander wound up
tenth with 81 triumphs and 10 re-
verses. Mayer, of the Phils, secured
Fl wins and 19 loses, while Ben Tin
cup grabbed 8 scalps and let 10 slip
away. Matteson won and dropped
2, while Baumgartner is credited with
triumphs and as many jolts. Cy
Marshall won and lost Z, while Eppa
RiNey got the long end twice and fell
short, IL times Most of the work
Matteson, Baumgartner, Marshall and
1tiXey did to earn their stipend was
in helping out other Phil pitchers
or else ceasing to pitch, after starting,
in some other fellows favor.
