on as catcher by Los Angeles Dunn

Price, who of course had not heard

out to first, and returned to the Beaver

NOTES OfMo
DIAMOND

Chief Bender appears to be in for
hard year in the third league.
President Gilmore believes the New
ark team is the one to beat for the
pennant.
Rankin Johnson needs more regular
assignments to keep in condition, it
would seem.
Mays is real pitcher. He has an
underhand delivery that resembles
Jack Warhop's.
Buck Herzog has suspended Phil
Douglass indefinitely and may never
use him again
Leonard Madden, southpaw once
with the Cubs, has been bounced by
the Terre Naute club.
Tom Corcoran, released as umpire,
will not retire. He has been assigned
to the Colonial League.
Dalton, the smuggling star of the
Buffeds, is slow in getting his batting
eyes trained on the ball.
Cy Falkenberg, the star pitcher OF
the Newark team, stands feet
inches. He has little advantage over
George Mcconnell.
Leslie Mann, formerly with the
worlds champion Boston Braves, holds
medals won in track meets for run
ming 100 yards in 10 fat
Fred Clarke has his Pirates going
at rapid pace and the belief is that
IL he can keep his pitchers in shape
he will remain In the fight for the
leadership.

was kneeling behind the plate, he
snarled:

til this game is over and see what you

Price smiled and touched his right
hand to his ear Hogan then realized
that he had been raving at deaf man.
and dropping his bat he began an
earnest conversation with Price in the
two-handed style of dummy" sign

Price removed his glove and great
gabfest was soon in progress at the
home plate.
The fans in the grandstand and
bleachers roared, play ball." The in
field and outfield took up the cry, but
Hogan was apparently as deaf as
Price until the umpire touched him
on the shoulder and threatened SIC
fine if he continued to interrupt the
game.
But there started friendship be
tween Hogan and Price which existed
as long as life remained.

rates-and even the Brooklyn Dodgers
can give the Giants mighty bat
tie. No team other than the Reds
will stack up as pie counter PROPOSE
ton for the 1915 Giants, because even
the Cardinals are dangerous. The
Giants in an attempt to climb from
the bottom to the top of the Ma
tional league heap would find the
climbing at least 80 per cent harder
than the Braves did last year. And,
Furthermore, the Giants haven't the
power that the Braves had. The
Braves were aided and abetted in their
achievement by the most remarkable
pitching feats the baseball world has
ever known. Three twirlers
Rudolph and Tyler-pitched in rota-
ton week after week and pitched as
no trio of men has ever pitched be-
fore.
McGraw hasn't any trio to work as
Stallings had. He hasn't got a Maran-
vile nor an Evers. His men aren't
imbued with the same fighting spirit
as were Stallings' men and, most i'm
portant of all, he hasn't got the Stall
ings' luck.
Good playing and marvellous pitch
ing were mighty factors, but the might
lest of all was luck. A dozen times
the breaks" saved the Braves from
defeat and gave them victory.
A mountaineering team must
be well rounded-and the Giants Of
1915 are not. Their pitching depart
ment is the main weakness but the
catching department is not anything
that should be envied. The team as
whole is prone to bobbing in pinches.
Bone" plays are frequent, and, worst
of all, hard luck jinx has been pur-
suing the McGraw outfit since the sea-
son began. And it's still pursuing.
But the Giants won't finish in the Gel
lar. They probably will climb out
of the rut soon and leap over frames
of the Reds, Cardinals and Dodgers.
They may go notch or two further,
depending very largely Upon what the
Cubs, Phillies, Braves and Pirates do
from now on. But they went finish
first unless all the players on the
other clubs become afflicted with beri-
beri, SPAWN, sea-sickness and hokus-

The Giants are so to 1 shot fol
the 1915 pennant-just that and moth
ing more. Nothing but miracle car
win for them now.
The Giants have just one real
pitcher-Tesreau. And no ball club
ever won a pennant with less than
three top-notch pitchers. Mathewson
is about through. The brain of the
'old master" is as crafty as of yore
but the old arm refuses to obey the
dictates of that brain. And the opposi
ton has batted the feeble shoots and
slants to all portions of the lot on
practically every start Matty has
made this year.
Marquard is cratic. One day he
pitches a great game; the next day
he performs like bush Lacquer. Per
rift was winning twirler with the
Cardinals, but he hasn't touched the
800 mark with the Giants. Stroud is
showing up nicely but he can't be de
pended upon to win two-thirds of his
games. Schupp and Schauer haven't
shown anything.
And these men constitute the
Giants defense; Tesreau, marvellous
pitcher, the fast-slipping Matty, the
erratic Marquard, the in-and-out Per
rift and the unreliable Stroud, SchupI
and Schauer.
Extensively the Giants do not show
up much better. On some days they
look like the greatest outfit of slug
gers in existence; on others they act
like a bunch of blind men. They hit
in streaks; and no streak-hitting club
ever won the pennant.
Some wonderfully optimistic Giant
rooters still see chance for the pen
nant. They point to the work of the
Braves last year. They argue that the
Giants can do what the Braves did
But how different is the situation!
Last year the Braves had no one
to beat out but the Giants. The New
York outfit overshadowed every other
club in the league up to July 4th
Every other club was of the second
division order. But this year there
are at least four clubs that seem as
powerful now as the Giants did in
1914.
The Cubs, Phillies, Braves and Pi.

oaoron tremendously opened the pup

Pitchoune swallowed obediently.
Sabron had just returned from a
long hard day with his troops, and
tired out as he was, he forced himself
TO give his attention to Pitchoune. A
second invitation to dinner lay on his
table; he had counted the days until
this night 1t seemed too good to be

CHAPTER II.
Julia Redmond


He remembered all his life the first
dinner at the Chateau d'Esclignac,
where from the terrace he saw the
Rhone lying under the early moon
light and the shadows falling around
the castle of good King Rene.
AS he passed in, his sword clanking
for he went in full dress uniform to
dine with the Marquise d'Esclignac-
he saw the picture the two ladies made
in their drawing the marquiSe
in very splendid dress (Which he
never could remember) and her niece,
young lady from country whose
name it took him long to learn to pro-
nounce, in a dress so simple that of
course he never could forget it! He
remembered for a great many years
the fall of the ribbon at her pretty
waist, the bunch of sweet peas at her
girdle, and he always remembered tho
face that made the charm of the pic
ture.
Their welcome to him was gracious.
The American girl spoke French with
an accent that Sabron thought be-
wilderingly charming, and he put aside
some of his reserve and laughed and
talked at his ease. After dinner (this
he remembered with peculiar distinct
ness) Miss Redmond sang for him, and
although he understood none of the
words of the English ballad, he learned
the melody by heart and it followed
with him when he left 1t went with
him as he crossed the terrace into the
moonlight to mount his horse; it went
homo with him; he hummed it, and
when he got up to his room he hummed
1t again as he bent over the little roll
of flannel in the corner and fed the
puppy hot milk from quill.
This was painstaking operation
and required patience and delicacy,
both of which the big man had at his
f1nger-tips. The tune of Miss Red
mond's song did for lullaby and the
puppy fell comfortably to sleep while
Sabron kept the picture of his eve
nings outing contentedly in his mind.
But later he discovered that he was
not so contented, and ounted the
hours when he might return.
He shortly made call at the Cha
teau d'Esclignac with the result that
he had a new picture to add to his col
lection. This time it was the picture
of lady alone; the Marquise DIES
clignac doing tapestry. While Sabron
found that h. had grown reticent
again, he listened for another step and
another voice and heard nothing; but
before he took leave there was hint
of a second invitation to dinner.
The marquise was very handsome
that afternoon and wore ye- another
bewildering dress. Sabrons simple
taste was dazzled. Nevertheless, she
made a graceful picture, one Of beau
ty and refinement, and the young sol
der took it away with him. AS his
horse began to trot, at the end OF the
alley. near the poplars at the lower
end of the rose terrace he caught a
glimpse of a white dress Undoubtedly
a simpler dress than that wor-- by
