the crew of a German submarine
made prisoners after their vessel had

knew all about the departure of the
steamship but the submarine failed
to sink her because of the vigilance
OF the convoy.

Nelson NJ. Way, better known rs Pie
Way, former Yale pitcher and later a
member Of the New York Giants staff
Of box artists, retired from the game
for good not long ago to enter upon a
business career. Pie was not very
highly pleased over his experience as
a professional player, as the following
remarks attributed to him attest:

as was concerned. say this In spite
Of the fact that I could sign at least
two very satisfactory contracts with
good minor league clubs, with the pros
pect, Of course. Of working my way to
the big league. But I don't want II.
"Jack Coombs put II correctly when
ne said that college man goes into
the big league with an education and
comes out without one. Coombs IL a
college man who has spent number
Of years in organized baseball, and he

good fellows, 80 far as that goes, but I
merely say that the life they lead does

Won Contest.

John Camel, manager of the Kansas
City Blues, recently pulled new
stunt In the art Of handling pitchers
that knocked a rival American asso-
ciation club OF Its feet. Camel used
two pitchers, INTERCHANGEABLE, be-
tween right neld and the hurting hill.
With two out and none on base Pierce,

Indianapolis. He retired Wickland, a
left-handed batter. and then went to
right field to permit McQuillan, q
right handler who had been playing
the old soldiers garden. to pitch to
Bronkie. who hits right-handed. Bron-
kie grounded out and then Pierce came
In from the field to pitch to Zwilling,
another left-handed batsman, retiring
him for the third out and giving Kan.

to manipulating pitchers John CAMEL

Marcia appeared to tiny Kitty Mason.
1t was a big doll. and n neIghbor had
mended up an old doll buggy, and
Kitty was enabled to give Freckles, as
she called her, an airing without tir-
Ing her little motherly arms.
They were poor, the Masons, and
Marcia was their sole support at the
present time. her father having been
laid up for six months, the result of
an accident at the plant where he
worked, and convalescing very slowly.
Kitty was good child and was con-
tent to stay around home most of the
time, Freckles engrossing her atten-
tion. Freckles was lying supposedly
asleep on a garden bench one after
noon, when a trumpet blast aroused
Kitty.
"Oh, Freckles, wake upw cried
Kitty eagerly. "Musici 1t must be

Forthwith Kitty seized Freckles un-
tremendously by the arm and dragged
her by her side to the street. The
circus procession appeared in its full
glory Of blare, tinsel and prancing
steeds. Kitty, dazzled. carried out Ct
herself. kept pace with It for more
than mile. Jagged behind. and then,
footsore and worn out, she sat down
on the curb Of an iron garden fence and
went to sleep. Kitty awoke in alright.
Everything was strange to her. All
Freckles had slipped to the
sidewalk and lay neglected. Kitty be-
gan to cry. She wandered square
or two and her sobbing and dreadfilled
face attracted the attention of police

Though a little boat, smaller than

more than $4,000 miles Of a very ad-

known as the Hermit of the Seas.
Capt. Drake Is the incarnation Of the
old rhyme about "the dashing crew
and the captain bold and the mate Of
the Nancy brig" for his long voyage

human soul. When a reporter from

ODD STEALING STUNT

Stealing third on a pitcher
without the twirler delivering
the ball was the odd stunt at a
game between the Crescent Ath-
letic club team Of Brooklyn, N.
T.. and an organization Of col
legians this year.
The funny part Of the play
was that the baserunner prob
ably didn't intend to steal right
then at all. In the course of the
pitchers elaborate windup, the
ball slipped through his fingers
and bobbed over his shoulder,
landing about fifteen feet behind
him.
The runner was on like
shot. The second baseman and
the pitcher both went after the
ball. the latter getting there
first. The runner reached third
long before the ball did.
The pitchers teammates
were slightly incensed over the
incident.
