then dropped the letter to his lap. His
hands fell clenched at his sides. His

his arrival on board should knock at
his door and then walk in. She drew
out a camp-stool and sat down beside
him.
She was very small and very young,
not i'm years but with what Alan
termed to himself acquired youth. Her

big glasses. They seemed to see only
when they made a special effort, and
yet they seemed to give out light.

Kemp was standing In angles. His

crooked. One foot was raised on a
rail. He was coatless as usual. His
unbuttoned vest stuck out behind. His

a liner bound for home. The liner was
too big to get into the little harbor be-

Alan lost no time in making his

Chinese rhyme explains It:

Two together, the priest you'll see.
Three together, your wish will gain;
Four letter from loving swain.
Five, good news the letter will bring;
Six In row, song you'll sing.
Seven together, good fortune awaits.
So say to you the teacups' fates.
Tea leaves large and tea leaves tall
Bring you company, great and small.

the bags out into the light. Their locks

He started knocking off the brittle

the letter and handed il to him. He
tore IT open. 1t was a note from the
consul saying that by order Of Gerry's
wife his things had been sealed and
left at the inn, telling him where to
find the keys. The room, he learned
from the old woman, had been paid
for regularly, at first by the month,
then by the year. She felt no resent

TENER CALLS M'CRAW TO
 ACCOUNT FOR HIS OUTBURS7
National League Head Will Probe Charge That
 Giants Quit to Brooklyn.

New York. Oct 19-John McGraw's 8 statement that the Giants did not do their best in the closing series with Brooklyn will not be allowed by the National league ito pass unchallenged. It, looked for time as if the Giants manager was not to be called to ac- count for his outbufst after his clubs miserable showing against the Dodg- CTS.
 However, McGraw's statement, which put the finish of the National League under a cloud, was placed in the closet only until after the world 8 series and will be brought out for an airing some time this week.
 President Tener moves quietly, and has suave ways, but he was more aroused over the McGraw Incident than appeared on the surface. Tener. Harry Hampstead, president of the Giants, and McGraw will meet in a conference this week, when John Mo- Graw will be asked just what he meant when he left the bench in a rage and exclaimed, 'I have worked too hard all season to stand for that kind of playing, and will not be a party to it."

In September he engaged in pitching duel with his old rival, Christy Mathewson, but the Reds got nineteen hits off his delivery and won the game by 0 score of 10 to 8. Old Three-Fingers wasn't far behind Mat ty in effectiveness, however, for the Cubs touched the Old Master for fif- teen hits. Last July Brownie proved that his old skill as a sGiant-killer hadn't entirely deserted him by hold ing the McGrawites down to two hits in five innings. It is highly improb- able that Brown will play ball next season, but having reached the ven- erable age of forty he can afford to rest on his laurels. He was born at Nyesville, Ind, Oct 19, 1876, and still spends his winters among the Hoo- siers, although he has mining interests in California. Brown tried his hand at the managerial role with the St. Louis Feds in 1914. but didn't make much of a hit with the Mound City fans. Brown broke into the majors with the Cardinals in 1903, but was soon traded to the Cubs and he re- mained with Chicago for nine seasons He went to the Reds in 1913, and skipped to the Feds thei following year. He has pitched professional ball for sixteen seasons, having spent year in Terre Haute and another in Omaha before breaking into the big show

The latter already has attached his signature to set of articles, but DiI- Ion Is holding off because of the weight conditions. Gibbons is will ing to allow Dillon to come at 161 1-2 pounds at 3 o'clock. Dillon is hold ing out for 163 at the same hour. However, sherman seems to be con- fident that the men will come to terms.
 If Gibbons happens to defeat Dil- Ion, Sherman, who is a great friend Of Gibbons. intends to accompany the latter to Australia in search of a bat tie with Les Darcy. According to Sherman, Gibbons is very confident that he can beat both Dillon and Darcy.

ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES

Terry McGovern defeated Jimmy Briggs in 15 rounds at Boston. That was the last battle of Terrible Terry's real career, and although twice thereafter he tried to pull off a come back stunt, his Boston bout with Briggs was really the finish of the fa- nous Brooklynite as a healthier. Soon after that he became ill and dropped cut of sight for a couple of years. ID October of 1905 he started another campaign, but it didn't get him any where in particular. Again in 1908 Terry fought couple of unimportant bouts. Jimmy Briggs showed a lot of class, defeating such good men as Kid Broad, Martin F1aherty and Tom my Feltz among many others, but when he went against the topnotch- CTS he wasn't quite good enough. Dur ing his long ring career he lost to Dave Sullivan. Young Corbett, Charlie Weary and Harry Lewis. Briggs fought frequently for ten years. his career covering the period from 1898 to 1908.

RESTA AHEAD IN CONTEST FOR TITLE
 OF LEADING DRIVER

New York, Oct. f9.-The result of the A. A. U. championship race at Chicago on Saturday of last week is bound to add more interest to the Hardness Trophy Race at Sheeps- head Bay on Oct. 28. Through his win of the 25O mile race in Chicago Dario Resta has again taken first position in the championship, displac- ing Johnny Aitken, who is again sec ond, and Eddie Rickenbacher~i is still in third place. Ralph De Palma had Ia splendid opportunity to better his position, but a broken valve put him out of the race in the 20Oth mile when he had been leading for over 40 miles.
 is now as follows: Resta, 3,200 points; Aitken, 2,940, and Ricken- packer. 2,210. The record for 250 miles made at SheepsheadSBay last month in the Astor Cup race still stands. Resta at Chicago was able to negotiate the 250 miles in 2:24:16.S, while Aitken's record at Sheepshead Bay for the same distance was 2:23:- O4:02. This has again justified the claim of the Sheepshead Bay man. agement that the speedway by the sea is the fastest track in the world.
 The fact that the Hardness Trophy race is for the shorter distance of 100 miles and also the fact that the drivers and mechanics have the ex- tra incentive of the bonuses for lap winners after the tenth mile will be an extra incentive to speed. Drivers and mechanics will be less spaNng of their cars when they know that they have but 100 miles to go, and even though they may not win any of the chief prize money there>Swill at all times be the lure of snatching off a few of the lap bonuses.

PRINCETON COACH IS
 TRYING TO GET MORE RESULTS FROM ATTACK

Princeton, N. J.. Oct. 19-Coach Rush went right ahead with his policy of strengthening the offensive strength of the Princeton varsity football team yesterday afternoon, es- pecially when within the 20-yard line. The attack of the Tigers against Tufts showed that Princeton was we'll equip- ped with power on the offensive, but also showed that the power had not yet been developed to a point where it could be Concentrated when neces- sary.
 Consequently Rush gave his first team the ball on the 20-yard line time and time again yesterday after nooa. and told them to blow through for . score in the least number of plays possible. The scrub team. however, bolstered up on all sides by first string substitutes and ineligible players of worth, was not to be tramp ed on and put up consistently stiff op- position.
 It was a real job for the varsity to push the ball across. and the num- Der of times they succeeded was far from satisfactory to Rush. The varsity was held for downs in at least half of its attempts.
 Dave Tibbott, star drop kicker and halfback. was again in his old place His injuries now seem more or less thing of the past, and he gets into the plays like old times. Moore and Haas, both of whom have been on the injured list for more than two weeks. both reported for the first time. -

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
 BASEBALL SPIRIT AND
 FOOTBALL ENTHUSIASM

New York, Oct. 19.-Recent1y 5000 undergraduates of the University of Pennsylvania, led by the college band, paraded in the rain to demonstrate their loyalty to the Red and Blue football eleven, which lost its first big game of the season last Saturday. Football rooters are loyal. Defeat of the team on which they have pinned their hopes, and often all of their ready cash, never sours the followers of the gridiron game. The worse their teams get drubbed the harder they cheer, and when the final blow has fallen they uncover, rain or shine, and sing the praises of the men who did their best and the old college whose colors the players fought for,
 How different it is with the base- bali rooters. When fortune smiles there's nothing too good for the play CTS. The fans know them all by their first names. When diversity comes along with it's "boots" and strike outs, however, all is changed, 'Bilr' or Fred" of a few days back are quick ly called "bonehead' and nut" and when the team is fighting losing game instead of cheers of loyalty jeers and laughs greet their waning efforts.
 Perhaps it is the knowledge that the fans will turn against him so quickly that makes our modern base ball player the hard crusted cuss that he is. He must be impervious to praise as well as to criticism. In- ability to weather the shadow and sunshine of the fans displeasure and favor has caused the downfall of many a good player.
