 Hobbs drove bravely into the court yard, shouted orders to couple or hostlers and descended from the box.
 Robin followed an attendant through a door, down a narrow hall way, up a flight of stairs and out an other door upon a small portico, shel- tered by heavy canvas awning Two men were standing at the rail ing, looking down upon the impres- sionistic lights of the sunken city. The prince drew back, his face hard ening.
 At the sound of his steps the two men turned, stared at him intent1y for an instant and then deliberately strode past him, entered the door and disappeared. The person in brass buttons followed them.
 A soft, gurgling laugh fell upon his ears-a laugh of pure delight. He whirled about and faced-one who was no longer alone.

out by the magazine writer, Cravath would have led Daubert at the end of the season with an average of .151 to Daubert's .106. This new method is compiled by bringing in the real worth of the hits and making doubles, triples and homers count for more than an ordinary single. It can be seen by the baseball fan why, in this new system, Cravath would have led Daubert as the Brooklyn player is or dinari1y a single base hitter while the Quaker slugger became famed for his many homers po1ed out during the past season.
 compiling the averages to a man with a pocket full of coins and the finan- ciaI resources of the man having them. An answer to a question, ask ing how much money he had, would sound funny if that man replied that he had 12 coins. That, according to the comparison made by the maga- zine and our own common sense, would not be telling how much money the man really had.
 The Baseball Magazine claims that the same might be said of the present method of keeping baseball averages. A glance at the official list compiled last year, shows that Cobb led the American League and that Daubert biIity, would have led the American League according to the method ad- vocated by the magazine but Daubert would not have been found leading Cravath..
 The writer of the article in the ma agazine took up the question of this method with Secretary Heydler, who knows more about statistics than any other man connected with the game. MT. Heydler admitted that the propo- sition sounded good but said that it never sounded practicable to use any
