But he was sadly deficient IN mechan-
ical ability, booting too many balls
and failing to deliver necessary ar
ray of bingles.
Then came Derrick, and for long
time the knot seemed united. Claude
started the Cubs on winning streak
that resulted in nine straight victor
les for the West Siders. Then, when
the discouraging eastern slump be-
gan, Derrick seemed unable to fur
nish the spark to pull the crew out Of
the ruck.
Claude fell into sIip-shod ways, and
began to make as many errors as
Corriden had. He also failed to hit
Importantly. Some allowance must
be given Derrick for injuries. 1t was
reported that he was not in good
shape when he came here from Bal
timore via Cincinnati, and while in
the East he was forced to lay off and
pay a visit to a doctor because OF
strained igaments.
Now Derrick is on vacation again
because of the same ailment, and his
return is a matter of doubt. If local
experts can do nothing 1or MIN ne
will see Bonesetter Reese.
Corriden and Derrick should not be
censured for their failings. Few
young ballplayers would have the
nerve to go in and jolt veterans out of
their complacency and infuse some
fighting spirit into them. Bush did it
to Detroit when Jennings team was
slipping during one campaign, and
Maranville has certainly kept prod
ding the Braves. But Bush and the
Rabbit are exceptions.
Cheney, who was poor his last time
out, pitched magniicently against
Brooklyn in the final game of the
Dodgers on the West Side this sea-
son, and would not have been in dan
ger at any time if he had been per-
fectly supported.

team he would displace. He declared
the Cards looked pretty good. In the
series between the Phils and Cubs,
which starts today, Doom threatens
to make up some of the ground.
This Rankin johnson is as good
pitcher as his two performances
against Walter Johnson in the Amer
lean League indicated. He has been
a consistent winner since allying HIM
self with the Chifeds, and the victor
les have not been achieved through
luck.
The young fellow has been win
ming because he strangled the oppo-
sition and put himself in position to
win with a couple of runs. And he
has just about made the North Siders
pennant winners.
Tinker needed another good right
handed pitcher badly. Hendrix had
begun to feel the strain of carrying
the burden, and there were no other
shoulders on which it could be loaded.
Some of the younger Tink pitchers
are excellent prospects, but they are
not steady enough. They lack expert
ence and the steadiness that comes
from big league campaigns.
johnson is no veteran, of course,
and had but short experience in the
American League, but he gained con-
fidence through his wins over the
great Walter.
incidentally, Tinker, is doing some
great work himself lately to keep his
gang in the van. All season the man
ager has been off in his hitting and
the failure to get the wallops safe
has worried him considerably. Now
he is on batting rampage which is
bringing tangible results in the box
score. In the last two games he has
busted seven hits in as many times
at bat.

The Watermelon and James, two
tramps bantering each other regarding
their personal appearance. decide to
clean up. acquire new clothes and let
their companion. Mike. be the judge
as to which is the better looking. Water
melon goes to a barber shop, wins the
contents Of the cash register from the
barber by a clever trick and gets
shave. He discovers a young man bath
ing in a lake and steals his clothes. While
sitting in an automobile he discovered
standing empty by the roadside, General
Crossman and his daughter. Henrietta,
drive up in a car. Assuming that his car
is disabled, the general proffers assist
ance. Watermelon hands him a caro-
bearing the name William HargraVe
Bachelor. The general recognizes the
name as that of a young man who broke
the cotton corner in Wall street few
days before. He invites him to dine with
them. Watermelon is introduced to Bart
lett a big Wall street operator, and his
daughter, Biny, with whom he proceeds
TO fall in love. Bartlett, who has been
stung by Bachelors operations. plans to
keep the supposed broker with him for
a week while he works a coup in the
market. He wires instructions to his
broker. While chatting with Billy, the
telegraph boy tips off Bartlett's message

CHAPTER viii.
Gratitude Is a Flower.


James lay in the shade of the butter
nut tree and smoked gloomily. He was
well-shaved and his hair newly cut
and carefully brushed, but his clothes
were still the rags that had graced his
muscular form since the dim, nearly
forgotten long ago, when he had stolen
them one lucky night from some back
yard passed in the course of his
travels.
He squinted at the sun through the
tree tops and judged it to be about
four. The Watermelon had evidently
done no better or he would have
turned up before. Mike, sprawled in
the grass beside him, slept with the
stentorian slumber of the corpulent.
James kicked him.

Mike yawned, stretched and sat up,
pushing his shapeless hat to the back
of his round hot head. He drew his
