the final resting place of the American
pennant and Rowland is in need of
every ounce of strength. 1t is barely
possible that SchaIk will be able to
return to duty during the series, but
the injury is on his throwing hand,
which makes it worse.
Jumping recent developments, the
White SOX do not look overly strong
to tackle such a crew as the CARR
gans. Their batting has improved
greatly, but the pitching has slUmped
off proportionateIy. Joe Benz is the
most reliable man on the staff and if
he can stand the gait will get more
work in the next two weeks than he
ever did in his life before.
With Cicotte injured the pitching
must be done by four men, Scott,
Faber, Benz and Russell, and Benz
is the only one of the quartet whose
recent endeaVOTs have been fruitful.
CicOtte should be back in few days
and he will be welcomed, for the need
is great.
Scott was Iambasted again yester-
day in st. Louis, though he managed
to win. Sixteen hits for q bases were
rUng off his delivery and only good
defensive work kept him alive until
the ninth inning. Then the Browns
attacked so viciously that Rowland
was forced to lift him in favor of
Faber.
John Collins has begun to bat again
since reaching the west and has been
the most dependable of the Rowland
fellows on attack. If John had spilled
a few of these waIlops through the
east the trip might have been a bet
ter one.
A final game will be played in St.
Louis today, and tomorrow the Red
SOx will open on the South Side.

ers for next season, and should the

new acquisitions. Jackson, an out
fielder from the Bloomington team,
has been bought for $4,000, the deal
depending on whether the yOUngster
makes good. He will join the club
tomorrow.
Excellent pitching marked three
games yesterday. Gallia of Washing
ton held Red Sox to two hits. Bo-
land of Detroit held Cleveland to one
hit, and Miles Main of Kansas City
arrived in the hall of fame by shut
ting out Buffalo without a bingle.
Evidently some one Numbered
when Arnold HauseT, formerly st.
Louis Cardinal shortstOp, was allowed
to get aawy from organized baseball
and Join the Whales. Since signing
with the Federal club the comeback
has been playing some fine baseball,
hitting consistently and fielding his
position in a wOTkmanlike manner.
The claim is made that Hauser was
a free agent, but this is doubtful.
Manager Bresnahan Of the Cubs
wanted him badly, as he had seen him
working out with the Cubs on the
West Side for several weeks. It was
understood negotiations were on with
the Cardinals for a sale.
Tinker had a scout watching Haul
ser working on the West Side. When
the organized people were slow in
giving the shortstop a chance to get
back to work it was easy to persuade
him to sign with the Whales, for he
wanted to be earning some coin
again. He has hit safely in every
game but the first he played, and
his fielding has been more sensation
al and much steadier than that of
Jimmy Smith.
Home runs by Mcconnell and Mann
and a triple by ZwiIling counted five
of the six Whale runs yesterday and
were enough to beat Baltimore. Nc

The Size Of the Stars.

The Italian astronomer, Signor
Ferrara, has been applying the
newest process of photography
and microscopy to the work of
measuring a few of the nearer
stars.
Every star that was measured
was found to be larger than the
sun. Vega, the smallest, has 6.S
times the suns diameter; Castor,
1S times; Pollux, 81 times; Arc.
turus, 10.4. The largest measur-
ed star is Campus, which the
Italian astronomer found to have
a diameter 81 times greater than
that of the sun.
1t is believed that all the more
distant stars must be much larger
even than Campus, or they could
not be seen from this distance. =

inologist," he explained to the curator.
 Quest strolled thoughtfully around the room, glancing out of each of the windows in turn. He kept close to the wall, and when he had finished he drew out magnifying glass from his pocket and made brief examina- tlon of the box Then he asked few questions of the curator, pointed out one of the windows to Lenora and whispered few directions to her. She at once produced what seemed to be foot rule from the bag which she was carrying, and hurried into the garden.
 "A little invention of my own for measuring footprints" Quest ex- plained. Not much use here, am afraid"
 Quest stood over the box for mo- ment or two and looked once more out of the window. Presently Le- nora returned. She carried in her hand a small object, which she brought silently to Quest. He glanced at it in perplexity. The professor peered over his shoulder
 Tt is the little fnger," he cried the little finger of my ape!".
 Quest held it away from him criti- cally.
 From which hand?" he asked
 The right hand"
 Quest examined the fastenings of the window before which he paused during his previous examination He turned away with a shrug of the shoulders
 See you later, MT. Ashleigh," he concluded laconically.
 A newsboy thrust a paper at them. Quest glanced at the headlines. Le- nora clutched at his arm. Together they read it in great black type: ESCAPE OF CONVICTED PRlS-

Come into the library and I'll give you one of my choice cigars. Here's Craig waiting to let us in. Any news, Craig?"
 Nothing has happened, sir" he re- piled. The telephone is ringing in the study now, though"
 "l will answer it myself" the profes- sor declared, bustling off.
 The professor took up the receiver from the telephone. His "Hello!" was mild and inquiring. He had no doubt that the call was from some admiring disciple. The change in his face as he listened, however was amazing
 George" he gasped, the greatest tragedy in the world has happened. My ape is stolen!"
 His brother looked at him blankly.
 Your ape is stolen?" he repeated.
 The skeleton of my anthropoid ape" the professor continued, his voice growing alike in sadness and firmness. It is the curator of the museum who is speaking. They have just opened the box. It has lain for two days in an anteroom. It is empty!"
 Lord Ashleigh muttered some thing little vague The theft of a skeleton scarcely appeared to his unscientific mind to be a realizable thing. The professor turned back to the telephone.
 MT Francis" he said, 'I cannot talk to you. I can say nothing. I shall come to you at once. I am on the point of starting. Your news has overwhelmed me-"
 He laid down the receiver. He looked around him like a man in a nightmare.
 "The taxicab is waiting, sir," Craig reminded him.

Sanford Quest Ask him to meet me at the museum in twenty minutes. Tell him that noth- ing must stand in the way. Do you hear?"
 The taxicab man drove off, glad enough to have a return fare. In about half an hours time the profes- sor strode up the steps of the museum and hurried into the office There was little crowd of officials there, whom the curator at once dismissed. He rose slowly to his feet His manner was grave and bewildered

 "He repents!" the girl called out Some day he will come Brothers and sisters, we will pray for him."
 The rain dashed against the win dows. The only other sound from out side was the changing of the street cars: The girls voice, frenzied, ex' horting, almost hysterical, pealed out to the roof At every pause the little gathering of men and women groaned in sympathy. The mans frame was shaken with sobs.
