Ten major league clubs will devote
from n week to ten days of their
spring training season this year to ex-

Eight of the ten clubs will tour with
rival league teams en- route northward

American League Clubs.
American league clubs may spend a
few days longer iu training than their
National league rivals n they wish 10
do So. There Is q ruling in the Ma
tional league which limits clubs to q
month of training, ana because Of this
rule no club In the mother circuit will
start active training earlier than
March 10.
As wgs the case in 1916, the Chicago
Cubs win cover mere territory than
any other team on their training trip.
WceEhmau's team win train at Pasa-

some time ago.
The fact that so many major league
clubs will chance joint exhibition tours
in minor league territory shows that
the club owners are confident of get
ting results despite the war, for more
intcrlcaguc exhibition games will be
played this year than ever before by
the minors.

CHAPTER u.
Tho olri From proahsda.

The 0lfy From 0ro0hed0.
Gordon Elliot was too much Of a
night owl to be an early riser. but next
morning he was awakened by the
tramp Of hurried feet along the deck
to the accompaniment of brusQue or
ders. together with frequent angry
puhing and snorting Of the boat.
From the culver Of the walls he
q sandbar. The mates language gave
backing to his surmise.
Elliot tried to settle back to sleep,
but after two or three ineffectual ef-
forts gave 1t up. He rose and did one
or two setting-up exercises to timber
his Joints. The nrst Of these flashed
the signal to his brain that he was stiff
and sore. This brought to mind the
fight on the hurricane deck, and he
smiled. 1t hurt every time he twiched
q muscle.
The young man stepped to the look
ing glass. Both eyes were blacked, his
lip had been cut. and there was a
purple veal well up on his left cheek.
He stopped himself from grinning only
Just In time to save another tw1nge of
pain.
"Some party while 1t lasted. never
saw more willing mixers. Everybody
seemed anxious to sit in except Mr..
Wally Selfridge." he explained to his
reflection. "But Macdonald Is the
class. He's there with both right and
left. That uppercut Of his IL vicious.
Don't ever get in the way Of it Cor
don Elliot"
He bathed. dressed and went on
deck.
Early though he was, one passen-
ger at least was up before him. The
young woman he had noticed last eve
ming with the magazine was doing a
constitutional.
Irish he guessed her when the deep
blue eyes rested on his for an instant
as she passed. and fortified his conjec-
ture by the coloring Of the clear
skinned face and the marks of the Gel
tic race delicately stamped upon 1t.
The purser came out Of his room and
Joined Elliot. He smiled at sight of
the young mans face. "Your maps
a little out Of plumb this morning, SIR"
he ventured.
"But you ought to see the other fel-
low" came back Gordon boyishly.
"Tve seen him-several Of him. I've
got to give it to you and Mr.. Macdon-
aid. You know how to hit"
"Oh, I'm not In his class"
Gordon Elliot meant what he said.
He was himself an athlete. had played
for three years left tackle on his COL
lege eleven. More than one critic had
picked him for the All-America team.
But after all he was product Of train
ing and Of the gymnasinms. Macdon-
aid was what nature and long line
Of fighting Highland ancestors had
made him.
The purser chuckled. "He's 4 good
I'M. Mac II. Thew say he liked to have
