After the meeting, during which
neither man apparently recognizes

magnificent Riverdale home and lays

my~steriously left on the doorstep his
baby daughter. Florence Gray. He
also pays a visit TO the hangar Of n
daredevil aviator.

When all three finally met at the
Hargreave home Florence suddenly
took Jones by the shoulders and
kissed him lightly on the cheek
Jones started back, pale and
disturbed.

he was eaten up with envy, as the old

v letic machine, and predicting what IL

entirely overlook the fact that George STALL
ings. Of the Braves. has assembled one OF
the greatest baseball machines that ever
represented the National league
The Stallings machine is new II doesn't
run quite as smoothly as the Philadelphia
machine because its cogs are new and all
the rouEhness on some Of the cogs hasn't
had time to wear away But, nevertheless,
thai Boston machine has a drive. a power
and an endurance that Is marvellous And
faudom soon viii find that the Athletic ma
chine hasn't such huge edge on the Little
heraIded but great Boston machine.

more consistent baseball than have the
Athletics.

Again he had to experiment The pitching
question was a hard one for him 20 solve.
He didn't know that the right combination
was James. Tyler and Rudolph until he had
tried out some Of the others who pitched
poorly and lost games FOR him.
Until the early part Of July StallinEs had
