ARTHUR JOHNSON
 MASTER OF GAME

Arthur Johnson, more experienced than Fincher. pitched a deliberate game and was touched for seven clean blows, including a savage double against the centerfield fence by Jimmy Murray, new member of the Travellers who made good immediately with timely hits and a sensational catch in the ninth inning against the scoreboard. Johnson is now the extra inning pitcher of the league. Two weeks ago the big Swede tied up with Howard Merritt of Memphis and was defeated in IS stanzas. A few days ago after Black had been walloped off the box in two innings, Johnson took up the burden against Heinie Berger of Nashville and the battle rocked merrily until the 18th, when Johnson won his own game with timely single. Tester day Johnson was unable to hit anything that Fincher offered and it was left to Tod Sloan to win the game
 It must be stated that Fincher has never played professional baseball pre- vious to this season and he is a re- cruit of the sandolts around Little Rock. President Allen of Little Rock stated that he expected to send Fincher to the majors at the end of the present sea- son.
 The Travellers were held scoreless in the first and in the second although two hits and q pass filled the bases with one out. Johnson steadled and re- tired the next two batters. The third was scoreless but in the fourth Murray 2 double to the centerfeld fence and Shaws single scored the lone run Of Little Rock. After the fourth Johnson retired the Travellers in order until the ninth when Murray singled but died at second The tenth and eleventh saw the visitors go out, one two, three. In the twelfth the Travellers threatened ser- e1xt i..-
 ritt sacrificed. Shaw was passed pur- posely. Gibson filed out and Fincher famed. Charley Carrolls sensa tional catch of Downey's foul fly against the Baron bench ended the Travellers chances in the thirteenth.

Captain Wells, in discussing the work that the team has done this year, had much praise for the pitching staff, which he declared to be the best that Alabama had possessed within the last four years-which is some staff. when one remembers the beavers that once alternated with Melford Pratt or with Charlie Greer.
 Beside the work of the pitching staff, the great improvement in the play of Ladd, Hamilton and Cargile, had the greatest effect on Alabama's 8 standing. From .076 hitter in 191+ Ladd has jumped to 275 swatter, and his slams were often of the pinch va riety. He has also shown much im- provement on the field, after being shifted from second to short Hamil- ton has likewise improved his batting average, has developed into one of the most formidable sluggers in the S. |. A. A., and was the best pinch hitter on the team. Cargile, after being shifted from shortstop to the outfield, showed world of improvement in | fielding. He was a sensational gar dener, whereas he was only an ordl. l nary infielder."
 Coach Graves attributes Alabama s success to the pinch hitting which his team has done throughout the year. The team average. .216, while prob- ably the best that any Crimson and l White squad of the last five or six
 years can show, gives but faint idea
 of the ability for opportune hitting
 that the various Alabama players dis 1 played.
 The outfield, with Cargile in cen ter, was probably stronger than the in1eld," said Coach Graves. Tt was

The ground was uncertain and he

of his boots. then lifted his friend
again and went on in his stocking

What did he expect to do with his
arm. Run to the hospital with it to
have it sewed on?
Beaujon pursued his search, chuck
ling.
The east grew rosy and a sweet, cool
breeze blew against him. The day
promised to be fine and clear. He was
glad of that.
Jean always liked to lie fiat on his
back in an open field, staring up at the
sky with eyes that we're as blue. Nine.
Wales was German, and her eyes
were like her sons.
She wept because her sister had
boys in the German army. Her own
husband was a Belgian, and her sym
pathy must go with him; and Jean,
her son-was he not fighting the uh-
lans as well as his father?
But women took life hard
He was sorry for women. He
thought again of that fellow running
off with his own arm before he COL
lapsed. There was a saying in the
Bible, "As one whom his mother COM
'forteth." The fellow had probably
started to run home to his mother.
She must be proud of her big BOBBY.
He chuckled again.
He had forgotten that word which
had impressed him so strongly-that
word which would help him. He knew
it was important, but he had forgotten
it again.
He hummed tune-a little, old,
Alsatian tune-as he continued his
search; the men whose faces he looked
at made no impression on him; he
only knew they were not Jean.
The sun flashed on the bayonets and
sabers lying about; it was pretty as a
sparkling sea.
He bent over a body. Some instinct
made him rise and whirl about on his
heel.
He was face to face with one of
the uhlans. The German was on foot.
Each man was but mirror of the
other, so identical were their express
sions; each had believed himself alone
searching for a friend. They stared 1T
each other; they turned; they ran in
opposite directions as ii pursued by
demons
The fight was out of both of them.
Beaujon dropped his rifle as he ran.
Horror was on his heels. He stumbled
and fell and lay as if dead, then
reached slyly for his rifle.
AS his hand gripped it he realized
that it must be another mans, for he
had dropped his own
He sat up and looked over the field.
The enemy had disappeared. He
turned his head, and there beside him
lay Jean. 1t was jeans rifle he held.

that the lad was dead.

that; that is, the right sort of dead

The prince had taken the tips of
Mrs. DRAGONS fingers and lifting them

had touched the fingers with his lips.

eye to ten-franc tip, had placed them
