He Fulfilled the
Conditions

Cyrus Nudge was an lndianian six
feet four inches high. Having Inherit

world, he went abroad. In Paris he
met Joel Halsted. a fellow townsman.
who introduced him to Jules I-aboudier,
and he kindly consented to pilot the
two Americans among the sights of
Paris and the vicinity. One day after
having visited Versailles the trio re-
turned tired and hungry, and Labou-
der led the way to a cafe in the
Champs Elysees for dinner.
How these two plain inhabitants of
the western world ever secured the
services Of so elegant gentleman as
Laboudier to show them about is
mystery, though possibly the fact that
Nudge paid the bills had something to
do with it. Seeing that Nudge was un-
accustomed to the tone of high life in
Paris. the Frenchman took Halsted
apart and told him be feared that his
friend might through ignorance put
him to the blush. But Halsted quoted
his fears, and the three continued the
sightseeing copartnership.
During the dinner in the cafe In the
Champs Elysees a party sat at the
next table to Nudge and his friends

The Frenchman's face was as re

though in a different way.

by Gavvy Cravath. of the Phillies,
who hung up a new mark for timely
clouting in the National by putting the
finishing touches to 129 talIies. The
previous high water mark in this re-
spect was 121, reached by Frank
Schultz, Of the Cubs in 1911.
Cravath alone was in the century
class in driving in runs last season.
Men who previously had batted in 100
or more taIlies from 1907 to 1912, in
elusive, were Hans Wagner. of the Pr
rates. with 1O6 in 1908, 1O2 in 1909 and
