back on him. McRae, the Wyoming
recruit, was not only a sensational in
fielder, but he could hit like a Dele
hanty. and he was a streak on the
bases.
Two or three of the sporting writer's
started a campaign to drive Grub to
the bench and hammered away at him
so %viciously that the entire baseball
population took up the cry, and when
that happens it is the wise mar who
will step aside as quietly and %unosten-
tatiously as possible. Grubb was not
wise.
He took to snarling at the report
ers. and this was throwing gasoline
on the fire. In the end the manager
was forced to retreat and McRae got
his ~chance-and made good.
Grub began to brood over his trou-
bles and fight with Dave Bullen. The
manager went so far as to make
threats against his prosecutors. which
crept into the sporting pages of the
papers, and this was the situation
when the Blue Jays came winging
home for the four games which were
to close the season. AS luck had it,
the four games were with the club
which was crowding Grubb's men
hard for the pennant-the Canaries, so
called because it was believed that
they had once shown a streak of vel
low.
There was nothing yellow about the
way the Canaries twittered when thew
rolled into town. needing three games
to win the flag. They modestly an
nounced that they would win all four.
and the local fans howled.
Nash led off for the Blue Jays, and
the Beau won his game on cannon ball
speed. bud Belcher went in for the
second game and sustained a defeat in
eleven innings.
On the third day poor Charlie Grubb
offered his overladen back to the last
straw. The score was a tie at three
apiece when the Blue Jays began to
hit in the eighth inning-began to hit
with one out and Grubb coaching Off
third base. McRae and "Skeets" Til
ford, the two heaviest hitters on the
team, were coming up. McRae slam
med a fast ball into center field and
was off around the bases like a deer.
Jimmy McLennon, the Canary center
fielder, played the ball of the fence,
and when McRae vas between second

Grubb lost his head completely and

plate, and the boy had no choice but
to obey the manager. "Wingo" Jones

Fine Art Of Simple Living Appears to

counts. Il never said an old gentle

point of view expresses. Like the

lived as simple life as she could in
the station to which the gods had
called her.
To the best of us the practice OF the
fine art Of simple living consists in do

giving what ~e can Of cheerful COM
