eTHE CRAB" BY CHARLES E. VAN LOAN

% ,oss Then, high over the tumut OF

Evans the next man up. tried to hit
n hall through third, counting on an
error. II was sharply hit ground pall,
ten feet inside the foul line, and straigh'
az the Crab.
Gilman took one quick backward step
and dropped both hands. The ball STRUCK
with a solid thud. and almost before
the crowd knew what had happened the
Crab whiried and launched himself
through the air. straight at the hying
Mullaley.
The baseball reporters said that the
Crab jumped 20 feet from a standing
start. Perhaps a few feet should have
been allowed for momcntary excitement
but there was no question about Null
laley being tagged out. The Crab got
him so far away from the base that
there was never any argument about IT,
though Mullaley howled bitterly.
"Gwanl" said the umpire. "If he'd
tagged you any harder he'd have broke
you in twol"
Kenyon came over after the ball and
threw one arm about the third baseman's
neck.
That's the boy" said he. You're tho
best third baseman in this league YETI
Then, with Bowers at bat. and two
gone, Dillon did the only thing a man
could do. He signed Bowers to hit 1t
out and take a chance, and Bowers was
the best hitter on the team. Cullen was
now on second and Evans was on first
single would tie the score, double
or triple would win the game, and the
pennant.

as he saw the evident effort with which
the old fellow whipped his arm forward,
and then all other sounds were swallowed
up in one wild yell from the bleachers.
The Crabs throw was 10 feet to the
left OF the bag, and Carsey had to make
quick sprint to get his glove on the
ball. Mullaley, the best base runner on
the Maroon club, was on second, and
Cullen was on first. Small wonder the
Chicago fans stood up and shouted!
What did l tell you?" screamed Dill
don, racing up and down off first base.
What did 1 tell you? He's going to
throw 'em all away"
The Crab walked back toward third
base with his head on his chest. oh. II
he had only gone home in the begin
ming! He might have been spared the
humiliation OF such a pitiful exhibition.
He would not be remembered for the
games which he had won in the past,
but for the one which he was helping

Kenyon had the same idea In his head.
and he knew by the way Tub" Phillips
handled his bat that he was going to
bunt. That was why Kenyon was run
ming like n deer almost as soon as the
ball left his hand. Phillips shortened his
bat and chopped one down the foul line,
straight into the flying pitchers glove,
and an indignant howl rose from the
home sympathizers on the bleachers,
when Kenyon, throwing with all the
power in his ten-thousand-do dollar arm.
nipped Tub at first base by at least six
feet.
Dillon made few remarks, not nee
essarily for publication, and escorted the
next hitter toward the plate.
I'm gambling on it," said he. "The
Crab will throw one away sure. Hit
one down to him, anyhow"
Mulaley grunted assent and then
pulled" a slow bounder down between
short and third. O'Neill, who had been
playing we'll over. was on the move as
soon as the ball was hit, and Gilman,
in his excitement. failed to notice him
until II was too late. The Crab got the
ball, but was bumped almost off his feet
by the collision which resulted. and
Mullaley was safe at first.

The Crab walked back to his position

uproar.
