Elaine and I were still talking over
the entertainment.
She happened to place her hand on

suddenly and look at her hand. On it

Long Sin decided to recover the ring
by stealth.
Elaine was still talking enthusias-

turned from Kennedy and moved to-
ward us with a bow.

Elaine turned to him surprised. do

Long Sin smiled quietly. He reached

A moment later Long Sin himself

Couldn't Play In Cleveland Because
George StovalI Was in His Prime
Ranks Among Three Best
Initial Sackers of Country.

It Is not generally known that Jake
Daubert, wonderful first baseman OF
the Brooklyn Dodgers, was once a
pitcher. Only mere accident put him
in the limelight as an infieldsr of class.
Eight years ago Daubert lived in
Llewellyn, Pa, a mining town. He
worked during the week and played
ball Saturdays and Sundays. In those
days he was better recognized as an
expert trap shooter than ball play
er. He was one of the best shots in
the state of Pennsylvania, and still fol-
lows this sport when opportunity
| comes.
Four towns in the mining district
conceived the idea of organizing
baseball league, and several college
| players were imported to help out.
Daubert was signed to pitch for the
Lykens team. Things went along fair
ly we'll until one day two balls were
being used in practice. The first
baseman turned towards the outfeld
| to receive a throw and was hit in
the face by a ball hurled across the
| diamond by the third sacker. The
man was laid out for some time and
was unable to play that day.
In his quandary the manager turned
to Daubert, who wasn't slated to pitch
that day. Jake played wonderful
game, and from that time has won
a first baseman's mitt. The league
broke up soon after and Daubert

Leaders of the Progressive party in
Maryland declare that no nominations
will be made by their party for Offices to
be filled at the election next November.
In making no State candidates the
Progressive leaders say they are guided
at this time by policy which binds
them more firmly to national than TO
state issues There is no call for state
wide nominations by them this year, they
say, because no national issues are in
volved. Last year, when congressman
were elected, they nominated candidates
in several districts. They declare that
next year, when president and members
of Congress are to be elected, they will
be In the field.
The Progressives in Maryland are a
corporal's guard, as compared with their
strength two and three years ago. Most
of them have returned to the respective
parties with which they were affiliated
before Colonel Roosevelt organized the
third party. Two years ago they claimed
to be the majority party, as compared
with the Republican party, and as a ma
jority party they further claimed the
right to name election judges and clerks.
The courts, however, did not grant their
claim.
