He patted her hand affectionately,
but there was something a little forced
about the action.
Child" he said, sit is so hard to
make you understand. I might lose
myself for few minutes, it is true,
over yonder. Perhaps, even," he add

Her eyes were soft and her voice
shook little as she leaned towards
him. Something in his helplessness
had kindled the protective spirit in

she whispered. Have you left be-
hind-but no! you never could have
been really wicked. You are not very
old, are you? Why do you not stand
up and be a man? If you have done
wrong, then very likely people have
done wrong things to you. Why should
you brood over these memories?
Why What are you looking at? Who
are these people?"
The professor, with Quest and Long
Jim, suddenly appeared round the cor
ner of the building. They walked
towards Craig. He shrank back in his
place.
IF these are your enemies" the girl
cried, fiercely, remember that they
cannot touch you here. I'll have the
boys out in a minute, If they dare to
try it."
Craig struggled to his feet. He made
no answer. His eyes were fixed upon
the professors. The girl passed her
arm through his and dragged him into
the saloon. They passed Jose in the
doorway. He scoffed at them.
Say, the boss will fire you, Marta,
if you waste all your time with that
Yankee" he muttered.
Marta drew the red rose from the
bosom of her dress and placed it in
Craig's buttonhole. Then she led him
without word to a seat.

Almost at that moment they all
three entered. Long Jim nodded to
Craig in friendly fashion.

formed so well in the field but a short
three years ago, has been shot to
pieces, and the members of that team
are scattered all over the country.
But the queer part of the whole mat
ter is that Larry Gardner, the one man
of the Red Sox infeld who did not seem
to have it in him to last, is the only
one to remain with the Boston bunch.
Three years ago, a little later than
this, Gardner had to be sent to his
home up here in Vermont to rest in
preparation for the struggles with the
Giants for the supremacy of the base
bali world. Gardner was nervous at
the time, so nervous that it did not
seem that he could last long as big
lleague player.
ever, and played a rafting game in
the world s series. Every once in a
while since then, however, Gardner has
been troubled with a recurrence of the
nervousness.
When a pitcher who is notably weak
in fielding is in the box and the op-
posing team starts TO bunt at him and
down the third base line, Gardner eth
| er becomes very nervous or marvelously
steady and his mental condition de-
ponds wholly upon the first play he
makes.
If batter rolls one down the third
base line and Gardner rushes in, scoops
it up and shoots it accurately to first,
nipping the runner, he plays a great
game for the rest of the afternoon both
in tho field and at bat.
If he errs ensthe first one he, goes TIC
pieces and it would be a very wise
measure to let him take a shower and
go home Immediately, for fear that his
attack of shakes will continue to the
lnext~ day. 1
| Yet, despite this handicap in tenn
lperament, Gardner has fingered will
the Red Sox for the. very good reason
that as rule he grabs the first rolle1

and whangs them to first right wher,
they should be sent.

streaks of his and the fans can look t
see him this year wind up the season
gloriously, fielding his position with &C

PITCHERS WITH RECORDS.
A Few Who Pitched NoHit Games
First Time Out.

The unusual feat accomplished by
Davis, the pitcher of the Boston Braves,
of pitching no-hit game ON the oc-
casion of his very first major league
attempt, while being admittedly q won
derful performance, has nevertheless
been recorded in the baseball circles
before 1t can be safely said, though
without detracting any from the merits
of Davis s accomplishment that one so
fortunate as to be propelled into big
league baseball in this manner is
blessed with considerable luck. How
ever, Davis is not the first player to
enter a major league in this way, for
there are several other instances where
pitchers have jumped into baseball fame
by preventing the opposing team from
tallying a hit in the first nine innings
they ever pitched in a big league.
Theodore Breitenstein, the famous
southpaw of big league fame, in his
first full game in major leagues, pitched
a hitless game against the Louisville
Club of the old association days. Just
twenty-seven men faced Breitenstein ON
that cold October day at the waning of
the 1891 season. In the first inning
Taylor, the first baseman of the
Colonies, received a pass, but was
Isdouoled ON the next play, then twenty
five men were retired in rotation.
/ Hqghey Jennings was playing ON the
Louisville lineup that season, his first
year out of the bushes Hnghey had
three tries at Brett s left-handed curves
and faifed=to stfaighten one Of them
out. BTeitenstein, like Davis, had
| worked as b relief, man on a few occa-
| sions previous to this noted feat
Bulnpuss' Jones, right handed
hurler, who ssas famous in minor league
ranks a dozen years or more ago, ere
ated q sensation in baseball circles by
hurting a hitless game on his first APP
pearance in the big league. Bumpus
bumped right into fame by holding the
hard hitting Pittsburg team hitless in
Ia nine-inning contest. although they
managed to score one tally.
Jones was new in the big show when
he was sent to the firing line, this game
The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1915-09-17

was the last game of the season of 1892,
and Bumpus had been hurried in from
the Southern League by the Cincinnati
management to find out whether he was
as good as the reports from the south
had depicted him. In this game Jones
won all the fame he ever accumulated
in the big show. for it was about the
only full game he ever pitched, as he
was turned loose the following spring.
But holding team with such men on
the line-up as Van Haltren, Donovan,
Elmer Smith, Jake Beckley, and our
Connie Mack was certainly some feat.
In the year 1890 the St. Louis Browns
secured a left-hander from the Illinois
and Iowa League by the name Of George
Nicol. In the first league game the Ath-
letics failed to get base hit off his puz-
zhng delivery in an eight-inning game
ended on account of darkness. In his
very next game, which was against the
same team. he held them to one single
in 4 siX-inning affair. The hit was forth
coming in the fifth round, so Nicol went
thirteen innings in the big league with
out allowing the sign of a base hit, some
showing for a bushef in his first efforts
against major league batsmen. Nicol
| didn t make good even after that good
start.
Leon Ames, the former New York
star, and now with Cincinnati, in his
| first game in the National league,
which was pitched against st. Louis in
| the Fall of 1913, was a no-hit affair,
and q very clever exhibition as far as
it went, it didn t go very far, for dark

fifth round, and the gathering gloom

WHALING SOME RECEIVER.
Braves Backstop is One of the Best
Catchers in Game.

Bert Whaling, the Braves backstop,
who can run harder and cover less
ground than any other player in the
major leagues, was % years old the

the well-known climate of the vicinage
of his birth, for he stands six feet in
his stockings, weighs 185 pounds, and

where.
Whaling claims Los Angeles as his
native city, and he is full of facts,
figures and statistics about the charms
and delights of the California metropo-
| lis: Whaling is one of the few players
| who have butted into the big show
without preliminary professional ex.
/ perience in the minor leagues. He
played independent ball for some years
lprior to 1911, when Cleveland offered
1 him a berth in the American
/ league. As a catcher he was pretty
good, even then, but his batting was
weak and his base-running very, very
slow, and the Maps decided they could
get along without him. In 1912 he was
sent back to the Pacific coast and play
ed with the Seattle club in the North
western league.
The big receiver made such a good
1 showing with Seattle that the Braves
bought him in the fall of 1912, and ht
