Base stealing in the big league
seems to be somewhat on the de-
cline.
The perfection Of the old sacrifice
play and the comparatively new hit
and-run play, have had not a little
TO do with cutting into the total
number Of bases stolen by a plaver
or team in a given season. Base
bail strategy demands when only
one man is out that with a runner
on first the man at bat must sacri-
flee himself to advance the runner
to second, or that the batter must
synchronize his hitting with the
running Of the man on first. that
runner or batter, or beth, may be
safe. One or two men must be out
before base stealing is considered
the strategic move, yet particular
circumstances almost totally obscure
such a generality. At any rate the
possible or feasible times for base
stealing are not so common as might
be imagined offhand.
Base stealing is not a question of
speed, or mere leg-pOwer. The fast
est Splinter on a track team may he
the poorest base stealer on a base
bail team. In the first place. a
Splinter starts standing or crouch
ing from a carefully chosen position
and attitude. and devotes his entire
mental energy to getting away
quickly. At a certain signal-and
the report of a gun is generally the
sign agreed upon-a sprinter has
nothing else 10 do but 10 get TO a
certain point before someone else.
He need have nothing on his mind
but the covering of his skull, and a
growth OF hair.
lots of Things ID Watch.
A ball player If the play is in
front of him has to watch the play
for one thing. For another. he has
to watch the man on the bag and
decide how he is going 10 slide
around him if the play is close. And
besides these worries a baseball run
ner has TO figure 20 put on the brakes
so that he will not 60 over the bag
and be touched out.
So a baseball runner is not once

He may kid" himself that he is
running at mis- best speed, but almost
invariably his attention is distracted
and that inevitably means loss Of
speed. This is well illustrated by

them. The children ran up and down
the lanes in the twilight, playing at
Indians, until their mothers called
them indoors with a shudder at the
thought Of the nearness of the ,lurk-
ing savages who, might turn those
shrieks of pretended fear into shrieks
of actual terror.
There seemed to be nothing to do
but wait.
But at noon on the seventeenth of
September, serene and cloudless day,
a backwoodsman passing through the
lanes of Vincennes, pausing carelessly
to glance up at an, eagle soaring into
the face of the sun, uttered an ejacu-
lation. A piece had been bitten out
of the suns edge, he thought. Little
by little the dark shadow gnawed it's
way into the blazing disk, and the
people stopped their tasks to gaze up
ward at the growing eclipse. The
simpler French inhabitants chattered
in an agitation which was as nothing,
however, compared with the dismay Of
the squalid Piankeshaw Indians, who
dragged on their harmless, wretched
existence in the village Of tepees on
the edge of town. By three o'clock
only a ring of light was visible, the
center Of the sur being obscured by
| smoky disk which cast the earth into
twilight darkness. The Indian viii
layers cast themselves upon the
ground in abject fright, and sacrificed
their dogs alive to appease the angry
| Manitou.

off, silent, grim as hounds.
So passed two days of the forlorn
chase. In the afternoon the clouds
heaped up before northerly wind,
growing blacker and blacker, hour
upon hour. At nightfall the gale
broke. The rain wrapped them in
gray garments of water, drenching
them to. the skin instantly, binding
them with it's resistless rush. They
plunged wretchedly along through the
binding downpour, forcing their way
through the hollOws. Their deerskin
clothing had long ceased to be any
more than a sort Of mere cohesive
fluid. Everything, except the powder
in their horns, was water. The world
was water. And growing colder.

finally gave up all effort to find pro.

around them. Their heads alone, pill.
lowed on their arms, were above the
sluicing streams. Once or twice, SO
utter was their exhaustion, they slept.
1t rained in showers in the morn
ing. There was no sun, no opportu-
nifty to dry their clothing. They ate
a mOrSel of rain-sOaked venisOn, plOd-
ded on and on through the dripping
wilderness in dOgged silence, too weary
to speak. David turned once to look
at Ike and was startled at the sight
of Blackford's drawn blue lips and the
suffering lines of his face. When he
caught David's eyes on him, Ike forced
a smile that shone through the pour
ing rain.
Shouldn't be surprised if it rains
before the day is over" he grinned.
"I'm getting tired of this drought"
But the mortal WEAKNESS came back
to his face as David turned forward
again. All through the day he forced
himself forward, summoning every re-
serve of strength to compel his limbs
to persist in the relentless struggle on
ward. A sudden pain shot through
his side, almost making him cry out.
His head began to feel strangely light
and his pulses throbbed in his ears.
He wanted to cry out to David to stop.
The rain ceased and the breeze which
drove some early-yellowing leaves
downward was chilly; but he burned
with a heat that made him dizzy.
Finally he began to stagger from
side to side as he walked;: and then.
with a pitiful, inarticulate moan, which
David barely heard, he pitched for

swered David quietly. ''Inasmuch as
the militia has not yet been ordered
into active service"
81 will do what i can with General
Harrison" assured the judge hastily.
"God be with yOu."
The woodsmen who crowded about
them at the news warned them against
the quest. To all objections they re-
turned the same disregard; their duty
lay plain before them. Those who
bade them goodby looked on them as
men going to certain death.
It was an hour before sunrise, but
the sky was paling with the light pre-
ceding dawn. They drew deep breaths
and set off at trot. They went on at
a steady shuttle, their eyes alert for
any signs. their ears strained for any
sound. At noon they stopped long
enough to eat little Of the smoked
venison in their packs, then went on
at the same pace. BY night they had
covered more than thirty miles; the
Indians whom they pursued had prob.
ably made forty miles with no more
difficulty than they had put behind
them twenty.
The two knew that it was a losing
game, if one factor was not taken
into consideration - the probability
that sooner or later Toinette's captors
would consider themselves beyond the
possibility of pursuit, would make
camp in the woods for two or three
days while they hunted game; it was
on this off-chance that the two young
men hung doggedly to the chase.
They dared not travel by night. At
dark they made camp in a ravine
where their campfire would be un-

silently. The long, hot hours dragged
by. At sunset they heard the bugle
at Fort Knox, the stockade inclosure
three miles up the river, sound family
the end Of the day.
Night came on and a group of men
gradually gathered on the benches and
the grass in front of the Jefferson
house, as the tavern of Parmenas
Beckes, bearing on it's signboard a.
staring portrait Of the statesman,
was grandly called. They talked in
low tones, and David, on the edge of
the crowd, could not distinguish their
words. He knew, however, that most
Of the leaders of the town were there:
Wash johnson, the old postmaster,
with his deep voice booming out at
intervals; Henry Hurst and Henry
Van der Burgh, the judges; Benjamin
Parke, more recently appointed to the
bench; old John Small, who had been
sheriff twenty years before and
scalped with his own hand marauding
Indians whom his posse had pursued
and captured; Peter Jones, who had
seen the error of his ways as tav-
ern keeper and had reformed and be-
come the territorial auditor and the
custodian Of the infant public library !;
the hot-headed Virginian, Thomas Ran
dolph, scared with the knife wounds
received in his row with "Sawney"
Mcintosh, the defamer of Harrison /;
the two sawbones, "DOc" Elias Nc
Nance and "Doc'' Jake Kuykendall; !;
and a dozen more. Francois Vigo, the
old Spanish merchant, who had seen
George Rogers Clark storm Vincennes
80 years before, sat at Davids side, a
fine old fellow of seventy-five.
The only light visible was that in
the shop of the printer, Elihu Stout,
industriously aiding his apprentice at
the types or Z. 'ping his inky fingers to
exa 1ine proof pulled on the broad
hand-press. The moths and insects
fiuttered around his candles and the
sweat poured off his forehead; but the
Western Sun was due for publication
on the morrow and he meant to see
it through.
David listened with closer attention
when he overheard Governor Harrison
address a square-jawed young man in
the uniform of a captain in the Unit
ed States army, telling him that he
had just written to Eustis, the Sec
retary of war, at Washington, and
had commended to the department the
mor1xe of tho vO11nO cantain in trans
forming the little fort near Vincennes
