Greatest Product, Says Goodbye to
Came He Has Done so Much to Make

Johnny Elers. the "Firebrand"
of the National league and the
greatest individual force in base
ball, will retire from baseball
forever, at the close of the series
with st. Louis Wednesday. Why?
Here is his own statement:
Il am tired Of building con-
crete grandstands and filling
them with fans for baseball mag
mates who are not only unappre-
ciate but who have gone out of
thtir way to Earrass me-
If Evers lives up to his an
nouncement, baseball will lose
one of its greatest characters.
The seCOnd-saCker is without a
peer, not only in the mechanical
points of the game, but in the
finer issues as well.
False impressions of Evers
have spread over wide areas
like a COnflagration or a blight
or an epidemic. Some word

is q baseball Caligula. The true
EVcrs IS a chap Of rugged per-
sonality, grim determination and
remarkable foresight Those who
know him intimately have never
ceased to wonder at his amazing
and tireless energy. He loves
baseball, not for the golden
harvest he CLEANS, but because OF

In boosting Evers, no writer
has to employ his gall to trans
form the seas into ink with which
to chronicle his greatness. Evers
plays the kind Of baseball the
fans fancy, He is hustling and
fighting every minute. 1t Is nom
sense to say that people do not
like scrappy ball.
Evers is a human flame. He
is loved and hated; trusted and
feared; full of the steam and red
hot conviction Of warmth and
frost of instructive personality
He is just package and parcel
of courage. The thrones of the

1t is to be hoped that John

the desert. And here he discovered
what he thought indisputable indica-
ton that the fright of Judith's horse
had persisted.
Abandoning Immediately all notion
OF returning through the hills by the
ridge-trail, he turned and swung away
at the best pace he could spur from
his broncho, delivering himself into
the pitiless embrace OF that implaca-
BILE wilderness OF sun and sand
AT long intervals he would check
the broncho and, Keeling in his saddle,
endeavor to sweep the desert with his
binoculars.
And toward the middle Of the after
noon he fancied that something re-
warded one such effort: something
for an instant swan athwart the field
OF the glasses: something that seemed
to move like a weary horse with a
human figure bound to it's back.
But now the phenomena vera dis
cernible which, had he been more des-
ert wise, would have made him pause
and think before he ventured farther
from those hills. already beyond
reach as they were.
His first appreciated warning came
when the surface OF the desert seemed

canvas tent in a gale. At the same

injury that had been done her father;
and though the man himself had
laughed to scorn her first involuntary
confession of that love for him which
now consumed her being with Its in
satiable fires, she swallowed her
chagrin and followed him with the
solicitude Of one whose love can recog-
nize no wrong In It's object Through
all the remainder OF that day of terror

she made herself his shadow. And
she was now the stronger, for she had
had more than an hours rest beside
the waterhole, which he had missed
on the way OF that rocky windbreak.
Sooner or later his strength must fail
him and he would need her; till then
she was content to bide her hour.
