find just as hearty aweleome as mas

very probable the local fans VIII
have greater interest in them.
Many things will transpire in the
eleven months that are to pass be-

that the two most important happen
ings to the Tigers will be the VIM
ming of the championship season in
the American league and that the
still greater event will be that of
coping the worlds series.

Dorgan worked at Jimmy COZ
forth's club In San Francisco on all
Ccfforths championship matches
and became pretty we'll acquainted
with the fight fans. He liked II
but thought he would like New
York, too, so he came East and went
into the newspaper business.
"A couple OF months before the
Johnson fight Moran was in New
York and asked me to handle him
in a six-weeks' vaudeville tour"
said Dorgan.
I'VE became firm friends on that
little jaunt and Frank went over the
pond and tossed gloves at Johnson
for twenty of the toughest rounds

But right there the resemblance
ends.
He is known for his lberality.
Comment on Jones in this regard
we're indeed superfluous; but they
dc say that Sir Thomas dropped a
thin dime down a crack in side
walk in his home town of Kewanee
thirty years ago and still keeps in
touch with the Board of Selectmen
to learn when they're going to rip
up that walk.
Dorgan's ability to analyze fight
er's qualities and sight a star, dim
as yet, in the pugilistic Citing, is
well known in New York and San
Francisco. SO long ago as 1914 he
cast his eyes on Benny Leonard,
the sensational lightweight, who is
regarded as a contender for Freddie
Welsh's crown, and gumshoed
around trying to sign him.
Dorgan found Benny surrounded
| by a flock of relatives. Two things
struck him at the same time; first
and strongest, the fragrance of the
onions cousin, second, the conclu-
sion that Benny Leonard's manage
ment was going to be a family af-
| fair Dorgan backed off and has
watched the almost entire fullment
of his expectations in Benny Leon
ard.
Moran has prospered under Dor
gans management. He received So
900 for his first fight with Jim Cof-
| fey in which he flattened the man
| from Cork in three rounds; for the
second bout he received S9,994,
which was 1894 more than the
garden people were willing to offer
at first.
For fighting Willard, Moran is to
get S23,75o. just $3.50 more than
the first offer for his services in
tomorrow's bout.

him with special prize, a medal and

told by the Duesenberg people whose

titled to any other prize. Therefore
the $4,000 bit for second prize money

confident that he would find Rowl sprawl
ing on the pan, Rowl had failed and
dropped back in the water.
For the fourth time Tommy essayed
the crossing, with Rowl waiting, as before,
foot and elbow on the ice; and he was
determined to leap more cautiously from
the fifth cake of ice and to risk more on
the pan that he might gain more-to land
more circumspectly, opposing his weight
to Rowls weight, and to pause until the
pan was flooded deep. The plan served
his turn. He landed fairly, bent delib-
erately, caught Rowl's coat with both
hands, dragged him on the pan, leaped
away, springing out of six inches of water;
and when, having crossed on to the Scala
wag shore of the lane, he turned, Rowl
was still on the ice, fiat on his back, rest
ing. II was a rescue.
Presently Sandy Rowl joined Tommy
Lark.
"All right" Tommy inquired
"l'm cold an I'm drippin', Sandy re-
piled; "but otherwise I'm fair enough. an

you. You've won full measure O.
thanks, Tommy, from Elizabeth"
"You thinks well o yourself, Tommy
declared. "l'm DANCED if you dont!"
AN HOUR later Tommy Lark and the
\ dripping Sandy Rowl entered the
kitchen of Elizabeth Lute's home at Scala
II,,,
prayer meeting Elizabeth Lute's mother
sat knitting alone by the kitchen fire.
TO her, then, Tommy Lark presented the
telegram. having first warned her, to ease
the shock, that a message had arrived,
contents unknown, from the region of
Grace Harbor. Having commanded her
self-possession, Elizabeth Lute's mother
received and read the telegram, Tommy
Lark and Sandy Rowl standing by, eyes
wide to catch the first indication of the
contents in the expression of the slow old
woman's countenance.
There was no indication, however-not
that Tommy Lark and Sandy Rowl could
read. Elizabeth Lutes mother stared at
the telegram; that was all. She was
neither downcast nor rejoiced. Her face
was blank.
Having read the brief message once, she
read it again; and having reflected, and
having read it for the third time and
having reflected once more, without
achieving any enlightenment whatsoever,
she looked up, her wrinkled face screwed
in an effort to solve the mystery. She
pursed her lips, she tapped the floor with
her toe, she tapped her nose with her
foretinger, she pushed up her spectacles,
she scratched her chin, even she scratched
her head; and then she declared to Tom
my Lark and Sandy Rowl that she could
make nothing of il at all.

"She is.

great difficulty. He could not have paused
on the way. The ice, thick though 1t was,
was too light.
"Safe over!" he shouted
"I'm comm"
"Mind the leap for the big pan. IT'S a
ticklish landin. That's all you We t fear"
SANDY ROWL was as agile as Tommy
Lark. He was as competent-he was
as practised. Following the same course
as Tommy Lark, he encountered the same
difficulties and met them in the same way;
and thus he proceeded from the first sink
ing cake through the short leap to the
second more substantial one, whence he
leaped with confidence to the third, landed
on the rugged fourth, his feet ill placed
for the next leap, and sprang awkwardly
for the small fifth cake, meaning to touch
it lightly on his course to the big pan.
But he had started an instant too soon.
When, therefore, he came to the last leap,
with the crest of the wave above him and
the trough below, the pan was midway
of the side of the sea, its inclination at the
widest. He slipped-fell; and he rolled
off into the water and sank. When he
came to the surface, the ice was on the
crest of the sea, beginning its descent. He
grasped the edge of it and tried to draw
himself aboard. In this he failed. The
pan was too thick-too high in the water;
and the weight of his boots and clothes
was too great to overcome. In the trough
of the sea, where his opportunity was
best, he almost succeeded. He established
n,,I pt,, 81
ately and with all his strength to lift him
self over the edge. But the pan began
to climb before he succeeded. leaving him
helpless on the lower edge of the incline;
and the best he could do to save himself
was to cling to it with bare, striving
fingers, waiting for his opportunity to re-
new itself.
To Tommy Lark it was plain that
Sandy Rowl could not lift himself out of
the water.
"Hang fast! he shouted "l'll help you"
Timing his start, as best he was able,
to land him on the pan in the middle of
the lane when it lay in the trough, Tommy
Lark set out to the rescue. 1t will be re-

for the center. They would grapple there;
and, in the end, when the pan jumped on
edge both would be thrown off.
Tommy Lark was aware of the capacity
of the pan. Had that capacity been equal
to the weight of two men, it would have
been a simple matter for him to run out,
grasp Sandy Rowl by the collar, and drag
him from the water. In the circumstances,
however, what help he could give Sandy
Rowl must be applied in the moment
through which he could remain on the
ice before it sank; and enough of the
brief interval must be saved wherein to
escape either onward or back.
Rowl did not need much help. With
one knee on the ice, lifting himself with
all his might, a strong, quick pull would
assist him over the edge. But Rowl was
not ready. When Tommy Lark landed
on the pan, Sandy was deep in the water,
his hands gripping the ice his face up
turned, his shoulders submerged. Tom
my did not even pause. HI ran on to the
other side of the lane. When he turned,
