Over the hill to the Bug House, I'm

For I've been trying to pick the club
that'll win in this National league
In Minor Proportion.
Breezy gales and shifting winds
may have had something to do with
the defeat Of Eastern lawn tennis
players in California, but we have a
faint, wobbly hunch that the stuff de-
livered by Messrs. McLoughlin, John
ston, Murray, Stratchan and Bundy
also had q slight bearing on the case.

Can The Braves Make II?
It is just as well to remember that
even in late August last season few
thought the Braves would ever main
tain their pace and land. They look
ed to be the worst club in the world
up to late Juneand the bests after
late July. War stocks In their wild
est flashes had nothing on the
Braves. Il
Last season the Braves won a pen
.nant with a batting average of .251
and fielding average OF 963-plus
the best pitching Of the year for the
last three months
This season they have been batting
around .235-16 points below their
nornal-with a corresponding slump
in helding--and more than corre-
spending slump IN pitching.
| But the material is still there He
has q club that is almost sure. to bat
above .25O for the year, with Smith.
Schmidt, Magee, Connolly, Evers and
others welding the mace. His entire.
/ club is due for q rapid adjustment OF
the Batting. Eye. It Is coming as
sure as the unfetted Fate His pitch
ers have started to show another shift
toward improvementand fairly
healthy block Of destructive conceit
has been hammered from the sys-
| terms.
Not Out Yet.
IN the last few days, despite the
| squirt OF the Braves, we have heard
several wise observers award them
nothing better than fourth place.
And this said one, is giving them
| the shade. Z
we don't subscribe to that view of
it. II Is our belief that If the Braves
fail to win they will at least make
| a hard drive for the nag plateau and

But 1915 has changed the situa

in the game are Frank Snyder, of the

Inc suspected man was LrleQ, 1OuQQ
guilty and sentenced to the extreme
penalty.
His wife, his little child and his
best friend, Doyle, removed to the lit
tie town to be near their loved one
during his last days. Doyle secured
work in the great electric plant. Once
a week they allowed Alice to see her
doomed husband. That afternoon she
had taken her last farewell Of him.
Now she was counting the slow,
agoniZing minutes fatally slow!
1ere the act of electrocution was
due.
Suddenly there was a low moan
of pain from a little room off the
kitchen. Both Doyle and the woman
started up, the latter with a lamp,
and hurried to the source of the out
cry.
Upon bed lay man, thin, lead
en-eyed, gasping for breath. 1t spoke
well for the rare humanity of the
twain that the evening before, when
they found this poor wreck in dead
faint at the doorstep, they had taken
him in and cared for him.
Where am he now asked. 81
was seeking the friends, the home of
John Lloyd"
MY husband" murmured Mrs.
Lloyd, in wonderment.
You say thatw cried the man.
"Then, indeed, heaven has guided me
to my goal! am the murderer of the
man for whose death John Lloyd is to
suffer the extreme penalty"
'Incredible!" cried the astonished
Doyle.
Aye! The deed was done because
he unjustly discharged me from his
employ, 1t has haunted me, an as
sassin, in all my rovings. l read in
the papers of the unjust accusation
of John Lloyd. 1 dragged myself
hither. A dying man, wish to con-
fess, the truth"

Iney must! Oo not oelay, Deg
of you"
An hour went by, and Mrs. Lloyd :
was speeding on her urgent mission,
while Doyle sat by the bedside of the,
helpless invalid, gaining from him full
details of the crime, keeping alive the
Pickering spark of life with Sstimu-
lants. Another half hour-the wom-,
an had not returned. Doyle glanced
at the clock. Thirty minutes more
John Lloyd would be led to the elec-t
trio chair! VA
Fifteen minutes to midnight he.i
uttered hoarsely at length, as het
paced to and fro anxiously, awaiting
the return of his messenger. All, a.
thought! At any risk the execution
must be delayed
A grim expression came into theT
face of the sturdy artisan. He,
glanced again at the clock. Then he
hurried to his room. When he cameE
thence again he had on his tool belt
and his insulated gloves. He dashed
from the house at top of his speed.
He reached the stretch of poles and
lines connecting the prison with the
electric light plant, three miles dis
tant.
