What Do You Want
TO Know About Sporf7

Sport Editor EVENING JOURNAL:
Will you kindly let me know through
your sport column II any pitcher
pitched a nine-inning game and only
twenty-seven men faced him, and il
he struck every one out?
PLAYER
Yes. Cy Young pitched perfect
game against the Athletics IN 1908,
when only tWenty-seven Philadelphia
bafters faced him, no one reaching
first base. OF course. he did not strike
out everybody. There are other
games oRi record where only twenty
seven men faced the pitcher.

Il think, Ettie, that if you were to leave US
alone, we could get this thing settled" said
McMurdo quietly 3Or maybe, Mr.. Baldwin,
you will take turn down the street with me.
It's a fine evening, and there's some open
ground beyond the next block"
"I'l get even with you without needing to
dirty my hands," said his enemy. you'll
wish you had never set foot in this house be-
fore 1 am through with you!"
"No time like the present" cried McMurdo.
"I'1l choose my own time, Mister. You can
leave the time to me. See here" he suddenly
rolled up his sleeve and showed upon his fore
arm peculiar signwhich appeared to have been
branded there. 1t was circle with a triangle
within it. "D'you know what that means."
II neither know nor care"
"Wel1, you will know, I'll promise you that
You won't be much older, either. Perhaps Miss
Ettie can tell you something about it. AS to
you, Ettie, you'll come back to me on your
knees dye hear Girl, on your knees?- and
then I'll tell you what your punishment may be.
You'v sowed-and by the Lord I'll see that
you reap!" He glanced at them both in fury.
Then he turned upon his heel, and an instant
later the outer door had banged behind him.
FOR few moments McMurdo and the girl
stood in silence. Then she threw her arms
around him.
ooh, Jack, how brave you were! But it is
no use, you must fly! Tonight Jack-to-
night! It's your only hope He will have
your life read it in his horrible eyes. What
chance have you against a dozen of them,
with Boss McGinty and all the power of the
lodge behind them?"
McMurdo disengaged her hands, kissed her,
and gently pushed her back into a chair.
"There, acushla there! Don't be disturbed
or fear for me. I'm Freeman myself. I'm
after telling your father about it. Maybe
am no better than the others; so don't make
saint of me. Perhaps you hate me too, now
that I've told you as much?"
@Hate you, Jack? While life lasts could
never do that! I've heard that there is no
harm in being Freeman anywhere but here;
so why should 1 think the worse of you for
that? But if you are Freeman, Jack, why
should you not go down and make a friend of
Boss McGinty? Oh, hurry, Jack, hurry! Get
your word in first, or the hounds will be on
your trail"
Il was thinking the same thing" said Nc
Murdo. "I'll go right now and fix it. You
can tell your father that I'll sleep here tonight
and find some other quarters in the morning."
THE bar of McGintys saloon was crowded

writing about it."
@Well, I have read something, it is true;
men have some reason in what they do.
Maybe they are wronged and have no other
way to help themselves.
"Oh, Jack, don't let me hear you speak so!
That is how he speaks-the other one!"
Baldwin speaks like that, does he?"
@And that is why 1 1oathe him so. Oh,
Jack, now can tell you the truth. loathe
him with all my heart; but I fear him also.
l fear him for myself; but above all I fear
him for Father. l know that some great sor-
row would come upon us if l dared to say
what 1 really felt. That is why have put
him off with half-promises. It was in real
truth Our only hope. But if you would fly
with me, Jack, we could take Father with us
and live forever far from the power of these
wicked men,"
Again there was the struggle upon Nc
Murdo's face, and again it set like granite.
"No harm shall come to you, Ettie-nor to
your father either. AS to wicked men, | ex-
pect you may find that am as bad as the
worst of them before we're through"
"No, no, Jack! 1 would trust you any
where"
McMurdo laughed bitterly. "Good Lord!
how little you know of me! Your innocent
soul, my darling, could not even guess what is
passing in mine. But, hullo, who the visitor?"
THE door had opened suddenly, and a young
fellow came staggering In with the air of
one who is the master. He was handsome,
dashing young man of about the same age
and build as McMurdo himself Under the
broad -brimmed black felt hat, which he had
not troubled to remove, a handsome face with
fierce, domineering eyes and curved hawk
bill of a nose looked savagely at the pair who
sat by the stove.
Elite had jumped to her feet full of con-
fusion and alarm. "Im glad to see you, Mr..
Baldwin," said she. you're earlier than had
thought Come and sit down."
Baldwin stood with his hands on his hips
looking at McMurdo "Who is this?" he
asked curtly.
3Its friend of mine, Mr.. Baldwin, a new
DOaTder mere NIT. NcMuTdO, may 1nITO-
duce you to Mr.. Baldwin,"
The young men nodded in surly fashion to
each other.
"Maybe Miss Ettie has told you how it is
with us?" said Baldwin.
Il didn't understand that there was any re-
lation between YOU"
didn't you? Well, you can understand it
now. You can take it from me that this young

turn him down, but dat should have another

sleep here after tonight"
60 McMurdo found himself under sentence
of Punishment both from his comfortable
quarters and from the girl whom he loved.
He found her alone in the sitting room that
same evening, and he poured his troubles into
her ear.
"Sure your father is after giving me no
tice," he said dts little l would care if it
was Just my room; but indeed, Elite, though
it's only week that I've known you, you are
the very breath of life to me, and l can't live
without you'll"
@Oh, hush, Mr. McMurdo! Don't speak
sol" said the girl. II have told you, have 1
not, that you are too late? There is another,
and if l have not promised to marry him at
once, at least l can promise no one else"
Suppose l had been first, Elite, would 1
have had chance?"
The girl sank her face into her hands. II
wish to Heaven that you had been first!" she
sobbed
McMurdo was down on his knees before
her in an instant. @For Gods sake, Elite,
let it stand at that!" he cried. "Will you

"Why should we not leave together?"
"No, Ettie, can't leave here"
"But why?"
@I'd never hold my head up again if l felt

Because no witness dares to appear against

Also because they have always their own men

scene of the crime. But surely, Jack, you

BIRMINGHAM'S NEW "CITY
 BEAUTIFUL" DEPARTMENT

Flower beds are of two distinct types-the tall, massive kind and the low growing carpet" bed In either case the object is to produce picture with flowers or contrasting foliage
 Those flowers, which are by their na- ture, adapted to the forming of either kind of bed, must necessarily possess certain characteristics in common.
 Every flower bed must be built ac- eording to the laws of design or it is not harmonious. The same principle that underlies the building of a landscape is found in every pleasing flower bed and the reason why some flower beds are more pleasing than others is that the builder used plants. the growth of which conformed with the laws of de- l sign.
 These facts make it necessary to study the flowers intimately. Not only should the planter know all about their 1 habit of growth and the colors of their 1 flowers, but the length of their bloom ing season and it's well defined limits deserve serious study.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-06-10

In order of their importance the fol- lowing points are essential in every flower suitable for bedding:
 1. Symmetry of growth.
 ?. Harmoniously blending colors.
 8. Length of blossoming season.
 4. Well defined blooming season.
 Good assortment of colors in the same class.
 6. Different types, as to height, in the same class.
 '. Ease of traasplanting after the flowers show color.
 It will be noted that the number of "tall'' annuals, suitable for center of beds is sadly deficient. There are good reasons for this. Short lived plants, like annuals. cannot be expected to grow very tall. Those that do are by their nature of growth. unfit for bedding. Most tall annuals are so on account of their flower stems. and the bare stems extending above the low foliage, do nos look well in the formation of beds
 On the other hand, balsan1s, which grow very symmetrically and bushy, so completely hide their colors under an abundance of foliag that they really can only be considered where greer foliage effect is desired

There is hope in New York that there will follow an early adjournment of Con gress The President is receiving criti- cism from every corner Had he hesi- tated for breathing spell following the enactment of the tariff and cur rency bills. he would have been hailed as the great reliever.' As 1t is, he is endangering the party, in the opinion of many men with whom I talked. The uncertainty which exists has checked development practically everywhere, and this condition will result, it is be- lieved, in the defeat of many demo- cratic congressman in November. In the east they are calling the President the herd driver His stand regarding toll exemptions is not popular.
 Tt is believed among democrats in Washington that Theodore Roosevelt will be forced to run for governor of New York. The opinion prevails that he will be defeated Roosevelt can name a President or defeat a presi- dential candidate, but it Is generally stated in we'll informed circles that he has made enough enemies to pre- vent his own success He is in this respect, like Bryan, and others we could mention
 There is a great deal of interest In the east regarding the action tC be taken by Congress in reference tc Captain Hobsons proposed amendment to put prohibition into the constitu' tion of the United States. The prohi- bitionists are forcing the issue now because there is chance of frighten- ing congressman who will be forced tt go before the people this fall.

HIGHWAY ENGINEER
 GOES TO CLAYTON
Keller Summoned to Chiffon to Settle Dispute About Location of Por-
 ton of Pike

Montgomery, June 9.-tspecial)-W. s. Keller. state highway engineer. went to Clanton today to settle a dispute about the location of portion of the new road which is being constructed in Chiffon county. This road will be a part of the Birmingham- m-Montgomery highway. and will extend from Clanton towards Noun tain Creek, Q distance or about i2 miles.
 The dispuS over the location of tho road arose as the result of various ob- stacles encountered in securing rights of way from property owners living on the road Certain of the property owners in- terposed objection to the road passing through any section other ~than that which they designated. refusing to grant the necessary right of way if the road engineers and builders did not accede to their demands.
 Finally, when all hopes had been ahan- doned of pacifying the property owners, Mr. Keller was appealed to. and 1t was in response to this request that he went to Clanton to unravel the situation.
