Joel Benson with its bright lights and

was gone. He was too proud to let

Poor clothes shut him out from de.

to show its effects. Just off quiet

broad-topped ash bin, wearied and
discouraged he had stretched out to
try and forget hunger in sleep.

Early daylight aroused him. No one
was astir but himself it seemed. He
yawned. rubbed his eyes and mechan-

over to where mans hat lay. Then
he noticed that its top was stove in,
and near it was a piece of lead pipe
He shivered and turned to hurry
away. The implication was irresisti-

meditated Joel, and started briskly

vironment.

hope succeeded fear.

How she hated her contract.

Walter johnson was in good form yes

the St. Louis Browns went to the Grill
men by a score Of to 2. Had 1t been
necessary the score could have been made
more one-sided, for the two runs the
visitors obtained were gifts in the ninth.

did not exert himself in an effort to end
the game.
Branch Hickey used four pitchers. He
started with Clarence Sims, who halls

had walked Gandil and Acosta in the sec-
ond he was yanked and Earl Hamilton

but two runs.
Hamilton Finished in Sixth.
Foster started the inning by driving
one through Pratt Milan pulled bunt
past the pitcher and beat 1t out. Gandtl
laid a bunt down the third base line. and
by the time Hamilton got 1t to first Gandil
was over the bag. This filled the bases.
Mayer was sent in to bat for Acosta,
and he hit a weak grounder to Howard.
who by a quick throw forced Foster at the
| plate.
| Williams followed with a single,
which sent Milan home, the ball being
hit too hard for Lavan to handle,
though he did not have to take more
than a step or two to intercept it. Saw
yer famed, but Mcbride got single to
Lavan's rignr. which the latter could
not get to first in time to nail George,
and while this play was going on Can
dill scored. This gave the Grinmen
total of three runs.
Hamilton then retired and Allen
Sothoron, from the Wichita western
League club, took up the task on the
mound, the Griffmen securing four runs
in this inning without making single
hit Allen was wild as a March hare,
however, and did not last long. Shanks,
the first man to face him, got life on
Lavan's poor throw. Foster and Milan
both walked. filling the bases. and
when Gandil hit to Howard the latter's g
throw to the plate was wide and shanks
scored Mayer also drew a pass, and
then Sothoron was taken out and Tim
McCabe, a twirler from Decatur of the
Three-I League was substituted. He
uncorked wild pitch, sending home
another run, and on Williams' sacrifice
fly to center the fourth run Of the In

Browns had one hit off Johnson. a
double by Pratt, in the fourth. Pratt

lot OF ground and with his ability as
a hitter might be just the man to de-
velop there.
Walter Johnson was in excellent form
yesterday. In fact. he has been show
ing his old-time stuff of late. His game
in New York recently, when he beat
Shawkey, 1 to 0. was an excellent eX-
hibition. Walter can be relied on now
to win his games If his team Will get

Is one thing about Johnson. he cares
little about making records He likes
to win. but when this has been accom- :
plished he always remembers that II Is
policy to save his arm.
George sisler, who made ten safe hits
in the games at Philadelphia, went hit
less yesterday. He could not gauge
Johnson's speed with any amount Of
accuracy and hit two flies to Milan. and
on the other two trips hit easy ground
ers to the in1eld.
Milan had busy day in center
field, grabbing eight flies. Strange to
say, mono of them were OF the difficult
variety. Milan having no trouble get
ting under all of them In plenty OF
time.
BY their victory over the Browns
yesterday and the defeat of the White
Sox in New York the Grifmen now are
but four games behind the Rowland
forces. The Yankees. having started a
new winning streak, are apt to take a
couple of more games from the Sox,
