The backwoodsman seemed attracted to the boy by this very quick and unso- phisticated bubbling of candid youth, while the boy most evidently worship ed his older companion as a symbol of the mysterious frontier. The north erner was named Rogers, but was in variably known as Yank. The south erner had some such name as Fairfax, but was called Johnny and later in California, for reasons that will ap- pear, Diamond Jack. Tanks >distin- gushing feature was a long barre1ed "pea shooter rifle. He never moved ten feet without it.
 Johnny usually did most of the talk ing when we were all gathered to- gether. Yank and I did the listening and Talbot the interpellating. Johnny swarmed all over himself like pick pocket and showed us everything he had in the way of history, manners, training, family, pride, naivete, expee- tations and hopes. He prided himself on being calm, phlegmatic individual, unemotiona1 and not easily excited, and he constantly took this attitude. It was a lovely joke.
 "Of course" said he, "it won't be necessary to stay out more than year. They tell me I can easily make $1 100 a day. But, you know, am not easily moved by such reports"- he was at the time moving under high pressure, at least ten knots an

DUNCAN HOLDS GOLF MARKS

The question is asked frequently:

very low courses are so short and so
absurdly easy as to furnish no real

INK TO RUBE oLDR|NG
Home Run in Worlds Series
Brought Only Lot Of Gloom.
instead Of Going Down Into History
as Hit Of Crucial Contest, It Was
Recorded as Mere Incident
Vaudeville Offers Lacking.

Most players would look upon
home-run hit in a worldseries con-
test as the most momentOus occasion
in their lives. TO Oldring his four
bagger brought only lot Of gloom.
1t was in the fifth and what should
have been the deciding game of the
world series of 1911 that Oldring
banged out his circuit drive. This
hit should have clnched the series
for the Athletics. The hit was made
off Marquard The game was played
at the Polo grounds in New York,
Oldring's home was then only few
miles from the Polo grounds. and
there were lot of his boyhood chums
looking on.
In the third inning, with Lapp and
Coombs on the bases, Oldring drove
the ball into the left-tield bleachers,
making the score to 0. Late in the
game Coombs sustained the injury
which laid him up for many months,
but he persisted in remaining on the
rubber. In the seventh inning New
York scored a run. making the score
3 to 1. All during the game Oldring
was delighted at the thought of that
four-bagger and how he would have
fun all winter with his New York
friends.
incidentally, Rube was dreaming Of
the offers he would get from vaude-
vile agents to 60 on the stage. Then
came the ninth inning, and New York
scored two runs and tied the count.
That made Oldring's homer fade con-
siderably in importance.
In the tenth inning, with Plank
pitching. the Giants landed another
tally and won the game by to 3.
