After that Gilman was under close
| scrutiny. He was fielding as well as he
had ever done in his life but when it
came to getting the ball across the dla-
| mond. there was a difference. Something
was gone from the graceful, full-arm
swing which Holmes knew SO we'll. Car
sey solved the problem.
"I'll tell you what 1t is" said he. 1.-THE
old boy is trying to snap 'em now. He
never did that before Shows that It's
gettin' to be an effort for him to get
em over there. That looks bad, Joe.

| say anything to him?"
Holmes shook his head
The season opened with the Crab on
third base. The fans. in their joy at
the beginning of the baseball year, did
not overlook the fact that the Crab was
beginning his 10th year with the team.
Some of the men at the Stock Exchange,
who had watched Gilman for nine years
and hoped TO watch him for nine years
more, presented him with an immense
floral horseshoe. inside OF which was the
figure TO-
The umpire made the presentation
speech the first time that the Crab came
to the bat. Gilman forgot himself and
removed his cap, exposing a shining pate,
and thereafter the cheering was not un-
mixed with laughter. Gilman was the
only man on the team who had never
received a floral tribute in his life. and
this was probably the reason he struck
out on three slow curve balls, and was
still blushing as he walked back to the
bench.
But he paid boy dollar to take the
floral horseshoe to his room at the hotel,
and the next morning he sent for a pho
tographer and had his picture taken in
his Sunday clothes standing beside the
good-luck emblem.
The horseshoe remained in Gilman's
room until the carnations faded to a
dirty yellow, and when the team went
on the road few OF the withered flow
ers, neatly wrapped In tissue paper, were
in the top tray of the Crabs travelling
trunk along with the pictures OF the
wife and the children.
At the end OF the first month every
man on the team knew that there was
something the matter with Gilman's arm.
He ilelded as cleanly as ever, he was
hitting around .2s5, but men who never
beat out infeld hits on him before were
beating them out this season.
