CHAPTER u.
The Right Of Might.

Two days after the supper at Chau-
diere's the unimpetuous routine of the
business quarter of New Orleans was
rudely disturbed by the shock of
genuine sensation.
To shatter at a single blow the most
venerable of the routine precedents,
the sensational thing chose for its col
liding point with orderly system one
of the Oldest and most conservative
of the city's banks-the Bayou State
Security. At ten o'clock, following
the precise habit Of half a lifetime,
Mr.. Andrew Galbraith, president OF
the Bayou State. entered his private
room In the rear Of the main banking
apartment opened his desk, and ad-
dressed himself to the business Of the
day. At half-past the hour the presi.

when. with the robber at his elbow,
he stepped to the window and pre-

In the midst of his vehement pro
tests the stranger sprang out of his
chair. stepped back a pace and raised
his weapon.
"Mr. Galbraith. you are juggling

thrust under his coat. The president
did not despair. In the public lobby
there would be eyes to see. and per-
haps some that would understand. Mr..
Galbraith took . firmer hold upon his
self-possession and trusted that some
happy chance might yet intervene to
save him.
But chance did not intervene. There
was a goodly number Of customers In
the public space. but not one of the
half-dozen or more who nodded to the
president or passed the time of day
with him saw the eye-appeal which
was the only one he dared to make.
On the short walk around to the pay
ing teller's window. the robber kept
even step with his victim. and try as
he would. Andrew Galbraith could not
summon the courage to forget the
pistol muzzle menacing him in its
coat-covered ambush.
At the paying wicket there was
only one customer. instead of the
group the president had hoped to find;
q sweet-faced young woman in a mod
est travelling hat and gray coat. She
was getting a draft cashed, and when
she saw them she would have stood

Manhattan, Kan, July 26--A new
era has dawned in the athletic world

the announcement by President Wa

star, as head Of athletics at the Aggie
institution.
Clevenger wss picked by the school
authorities to assume the duties of
both Lowman and Bender after a
large field of candidates had been Civ
believed that one of the best and most
amply qualified men in the whole
country has been procured.
Comes From Tennessee.
The new athletic head comes to
Manhattan from Knoxville, Tenn.
where. as head coach and athletic di-
rector of the University of Tennessee.

years that he was in charge Of affairs

1t is understood that Clevenger will
receive a salary of $4,000 a year for
his work. 1t has not been announced
just when he will arrive, but 1t Is pre-

possible moment in order that he may
have ample time to make preparations
for the coming football season.
Prospects Are Bright.
1t is said that the prospects for

SLIM SALLEE WILL NOT
WORK WITH Z CATCHERS

Slim Sallee. being a southpaw. is
more superstitious than the average
ball player. His fondest delirium
is the one about the catcher that
warns him up. He will never
warm up before the game with any
other catcher than the one catching
the whole game. Also If 1t hap
pens through the game that the
regular catcher is not ready and
another steps up to catch a few till
the inning begins, Slim will toss the
ball with the first or third baseman
rather than the sub catcher. He
admits his jinx and doesn't care to
trifle with it.

SCIENCE COUNTS
Heady Baseball Always Wins
Out in the End.
Much Value in Sacrifice Hit If
Used Properly.
BY FRANK G. MENKE.

New York, July 26.-Statistics COW
ering the first half of the 1916 sea-
son effectively shoot to pieces John
McGraw's idea that scientific base
ball is bunk
Jawn OF boy. has come right out
in the open and spoofed the sacrifice
hit and the hit and run game, yet
the figures show that the teams that
have been those that have been close
to the top rung Of the ladder all sea-
son.
Peculia rly enough. the very same
plays which McGraw declares are
"foolishness" have been largely re-
sponsible for many of the defeats
which the Giants have suffered this
year Almost Immediately after John
got through telling the populace that
the sacrifice hit game wasn't worth
darn, the Brooklyn Dodgers came
along ard beat the Giants two games
by using the very same plays JaWn,
OIL boy, had called bum stuff"
Indians Arc Scientific.
The Cleveland Indians are an excel
lent example to prove the value of the
sacrifice hit game. With a team re-
garded by most baseball persons as
little more than mediocre, tney nave
kept near the top in the American
league heap for more than three
months. And the sacrifice hitting has
been largely responsible.
Lee Fohl, manager of the club, IS
one of the greatest exponents or the
sacrifice and the hit and run game.
The Indians, as a result. have made
more sacrifice hits than any club in
either big circuit. And those same
indians, with club admittedly weak
er than the majority, have been in the
fight all the way.
The statistics which appear below
ware compiled by William Chase Tenn
pie, donor of the Temple cup. They
embrace all the games played by each
club in both leagues up to and includ-
ing July 6. They show the number Of
hits each club required to score a run
ner. the total sacrifice hits and stolen
bases by each club. Also. at the ex-
treme right, is a column which shows
where each club stood in the pennant
fight on July 6.
The Topeka state journal., 1916-07-26
Red Sox and Dodgers.

Total runs, 2,104; hits, 4,417: sacrifice
hits. 673; stolen bases. GIT; average hits re-
quired to score run, 2.O9.
Red Sox and Dodgers.
Those who peruse the above tables
will find that with one or two excep-
tions the club that showed poor sac
rifice hitting records, together with
low base stealing marks, were well
down in the standing of the clubs
Also they will note that teams which
did not have good base runners or a
multitude of sacrifice batsmen had to
make more hits per run than did the
other clubs.
The Boston Red Sox, and Brooklyn
Dodgers stand out as the exceptions.
They rank near the bottom in base
running and in sacrifice hitting. 1t re-
quired 2.21 hits per game to score Il
run for the Red Sox and 2.32 hits per
run for the Dodgers. Yet the Sox. at
the time, were third in the league
standing, while the Dodgers led in the
Tener Circuit.
How then did both teams rank so
high in the standing of clubs? The
pitching staff of each is the answer
The Red Sox hurlers, as a whole, rank
as the best in the American; the
Dodgers are leaders in the National.
Their pitchers don't need a lot of runs
to win.
Give them two or three and they'll
breeze through to victory That is
why the Sox and Dodgers, are SO
high in the race.
If team has great defensive power
in the box. as have the Sox AMI
Dodgers, they don't exactly need a
superfluity of sacrifice hits and stolen
bases. But how much higher would
both those clubs be if they played
scientific baseball as have the Indians :?
