A Clash of Wills

Guess it can't be long now" my
father would say.
Praise the Lord Father Dan would
answer.
BY the storm was at its height,
The roaring of the wind in the wide
chimney was as loud as thunder.
Save for this the thunderous noise OF
the sea served to drown all sounds on
the land. Nevertheless. in the midst
Of the ciamor a loud rapping was
heard at the front door. One of the
maidservants would have answered it,
but my father called her back and
taking up a lantern, went to the door
himself. AS quietly as he could for
the rush of wind without, he opened
it, and, pulling it after him, he step
ped into the porch.
A man in livery was there on horse
back, with another saddled horse be-
side him. He was drenched through
but steaming with sweat as if he had
ridden long and hard. Shouting above
the roar of the storm, he said:
Doctor Conrad is here, is hep
"He is-what of it?" said my father
Tell him he's wanted and must
come away with me at once"
'Who says he must?"
Lord Raa. His Lordship is dan
gerously i'll. He wishes to see the
doctor Immediately"
l think my father must then have
gone through moment of fierce con-
fiict between his desire to keep the
old Lord alive and his hope of the
immediate birth of his offspring. But
his choice was quickly made"
Tell the Lord" he cried, that a
woman is here in childbirth, and until
she delivers the doctor can not come
to him."
But I've brought a horse, and the
doctor is to go back with me-"
Give the Lord my message and say
it is Daniel ONeill who sends It,"
But his Lordship is dying and I'M
less the doctor is there to tap him, he
may not live till morning"
Unless the doctor is here to de-
liver my wife. my child may be dead
before midnight"
What is the birth of your child to
the death of his Lordship?" cried the
man; but, before the words were well
out of his mouth my father, in his
great strength, had laid hold of the
reins and swung both horse and rider
round about.
Get yourself to the other side of
my gate, or I'll fling you into the
road" he cried; and then, returning to
the porch, he re-entered the house
and clashed the door behind him.
Father Dan used to say that for
some moments more the groom from
Castle Raa could be heard shouting
the name of the doctor to the lighted
windows of my mothers room. But
his voice was swirled away in the
whistling of the wind, and after a

ity took notice of the process. The
form, the infield and outfield began
working with machine-like regular
ity, and the whole bunch began hit
ting like fiends. From position
near the bottom of the heap the Cubs
shot up just behind the first place
Giants and seemed uitired by the
pace. They continued to play ball
at a ZOO clip. and although they
since have received couple of set
backs, they seem to have the power
to do real. 'come-back" and remain
in the comeback position right to
the October tape
Hank isn't making pennant pre-
dictions, but his bunch has become
fired with the idea of landing on top
of the heap, and right now they are
showing as much pep" as any team
in the big leagues. Hanks pitching
staff is bit weak. He needs one
seasoned, reliable pitcher to bolster
up, and he needs hard hitting adj
dition to his outfield. Given this
pair-for which he is searching both
day and night-and the Chicago
fans may yet count on the privilege
of seeing a worlds series combat
staged in their home town
Quite number of our best little
baseball experts are conceeding the
pennant to the Giants, but it seems
quite a bit too early for making such
an award Even If the Cubs uplift
doesn't last the Pirates still look dan
gerous. And the Reds may recover
from their slump of the past three
weeks, the Phillies aren't figured in
the pennant fight, but they may be
able to wallop the Giants often
enough during the rest of the season
to give SOME other team chance
to close up the gap that divides the
Giants and their nearest rivals.
The Boston Braves seem to be
coming along at pretty good gait,
too There isn't one chance in one
hundred that they'll grab the PEN
nant situation. The Braves have
habit of turning into the stretch dur
ing the final weeks of the campaign
and beating everything in sight, and
who knows but what bhey will turn
upon the Giants pretty shortly and
soak them amidships with such force
as to considerably weaken the clutch
the Giants have on the first rung of
the ladder?

CUBS ARE COMING
PUSHING THE GIANTS HARD IN
THE RACE FOR THE
PENNANT

New York, July 8.-The Chicago
Cubs seem to be considerably among
those present during the last week
or two, and the Giants, who had fig
ured that the 1914 National League
bunting won have awakened to find
that the old Chicago peril hovers
over them once again.
Hank OiDay, after getting away ITO
a poor start seems to have MS gang
working, with almost the same ma
chine like regularity that made the
1906 Cubs famous, and barring ac-
|cidents, the Chicago outfit may yet
rise up and horn its way into the
worlds series.
The Giants have lead that some
persons may term commanding but
it's nothing to get overconfident
about. Its a lead that week or so
of hard luck may chip away, and
with the end of the season still elev-
en- weeks off there is every reason
for the Cubs to feel hopeful about

The best part of the Cub uprising
is the fact that the entire team now
willingly comedies to Hank the job
of leader, and instead of pulling
abo~t ten different ways the gang is
pulling together for him-and for
victory.

overly much, according to reports.
Twas said they figured that If Hank
continued to make poor showing
as manager, he would be deposed
sooner or later and that the job of
handling the Cub reins would be Civ

work your head off to win games,
when by losing them it brings about
the possibility of your becoming a
manager, the ambition of every mai
or league ball player?
