Now that Larry Lajoie is up to
his athletic neck in the manage
ment Of the Indianapolis team Of
the American association it is being
freely predicted that he will bring
home a pernant winner.
The great veteran has proved
himself a surprisingly capable min
or league manager. His record is
1000. Last year he took hold Of
the Toronto team on the Interna-
tional league and brought it home
in the lead with room to spare.
Besides, he led the 4eaguer's hitters
himself, having a mark Of $3.50.
Indianapolis won a pennant last
year under Jack Hendricks

thing Larry could never do as man
ager of the Cleveland club in the

never fortunate enough to get into
a single worlds series.

bon fame was in 1908, when he
managed the Clevelands.} That year
the Forest City team, Detroit and
the White Sox fought such a finish
that the championship wasn't de-
cided until the very last day. The
sad part of the affair from Cleve-
land standpoint was that Lajoie that
year when his services were so bad
ly needed, had the worst season of
his big league career. Larry played
in every game, but he batted only
.289, and fielded below his stand
ard. Only one other time in his life
did the big Frenchman fail to rap
800 or better-ttis was in 1907
when he fell one point shy Of the
coveted mark. ....
Larry was big league favorite
for twenty-one years. His grand
batting average for big league play
was .338. Only one other player
known to baseball ever did better.
Cap Anson's life time mark was
one point higher. Only one player
now identified with the game stands
a chance to equal Larry's mark Ty
Cobb must maintain his present
stride through ] period of eight
years yet before his batting can be
compared with that Of the former
cab driver.

veered, Steward saw the 1ceboat
with its helpless occupant, Steward
saw him men in the automobile a
short distance behind the iceboat.
He saw the driver jam on his
brakes and saw the machine skid
swiftly about in a furry of ice and
snow just as the iceboat disappeared
over the brink or Ice into the cold
blackness Of the waters of the lake.
He passed a hand over his face
and turned back to Grant, who was
staring up at him in bewilderment.
What are you doing here?"
Grants voice was scarcely a muir
muir.
Steward smiled and bent over him.
"a girl gave me the tip-Dixie Ma
son. The girl with Won Lertz, you
know"
Grant sat upright and stared at
him. Dixie Mason!" He rubbed
his aching head. A wild conglomer-
alton Of ideas made his head Whirl
Why had Dixie Mason done this?
Had she too been working with the
Germans for a purpose? Or had she
simply allowed kindness to inter
vene in plot which otherwise would
have meant his death? His aching
brain refused to solve the puzzle.
Grasping Stewards hand he rose.
Wed better go back" he said
simply, brushing the snow from his
clothes. Fay must be about ready
to make a full confession.
They walked to the bank Of the
lake and waited for the return of the
operatives in the automobile.
Fays Confession,
At the club they found Fay ready
to make his confession He had
signalled his willingness to do so.
Il was given 10000 marks to come
to America" he said; II was told
to get in communication with Ger
man officials here-but they would
not have anything to do with me.
That is all I can tell you regarding
them"
He stopped. The memory Of an
other day had come to him-a room
in an office building in lower New
York, in Wall street. The clamor
of traffic and shouts Of drivers
echoing into a still room. Two men
before him, hard, cunning, calculat-
ing. And the voice Of one suavely
suggesting.

that you had tried to see us but that
We had denied you an interview"
His plot had failed, and Fay true
to the Unborn traditions of his ma

the end Of his plottings was at hand,
he knew that somehow, somewhere

the work of the German government
in undermining the peace, of this ma
ton would not stop with his failure,
that its paid agents would take up
the plotting and scheming and de-
struction where he had given it up.
Fay told them what they al
ready knew, the story Of the bomb
he had invented, the bomb which
was to stop all shipping which was
eventually to be used to blow up the
harbor Of New York. He told them
Of his exploits in the trenches, OF
the fame he had earned for bombing

the iron cross that should have been
his but had gone to one higher in
command, but no other word re-
garding those others in this country
who were backing him.

shortly, for it was full rugged. A

throwing them off his track. AS
the automobile drew nearer, the spy
made his decision and slipped around
the lighthouse to the iceboat. With
a running push it slid before his
weight far out on the ice. He clam
bered aboard and whipped the sails
into shape. The wind caught them
with a wild billowing and Tapping
