When we had filled ourselves we
went out, Harry telling the clerk
that Bob had set them up. Now
l heard sometime later that Bob
had to work there for about week
to pay for our fun.
"In the spring when a baseball
team was being organized, Harry
told Bob that he would have fine
chance of making the high and
honored position on the team, if he
would just come out to practice
every night after school.
mot knowing anything about
baseball, he thought 1t would be
an honor to hold such a responsible
position, so he reported the next
afternoon and the position Of bat
and water boy was bestowed on
him. On some days Bob was al.
lowed to 60 to batting practice with
the others. After about two weeks
practicing he could hit the ball fair
iy well.
Saturday was to be the most i'm.

everyone was working hard. Sat

usual position. Every one seemed

IL tne front VeSuOule OI n new

years old, were discussing the even

had found an article about Lieut..
Fields of the British Royal Flying
Corps.
This Fields sure must be a great

turning to Jim" Dallas.
II am certainly glad to hear that.
Bob was q college mate Of mine

responded Jim.
How did he happen to get over
In England?" inquired Charles. II
remember seeing his name among
some of the minor American invent

q success If he was a schoolmate
Of yours" he added, laughing.
II don't either" replied Jim,
laughing in turn. But to come
down to business, Bob stood great

some sort of an invention that goes
on an airplane and since the United
States army wouldn't buy it, he
went to England and they bought
it."
Tell me something about him.
Surely he Is worth talking about,
since he has done deed no one
else has before done
"All right! He came to the Uni
versity of Chicago. fresh from the
country, wearing pair OF brown
plough shoes, loud checkered cap,
and checkered suit with the pants
rolled three inches above his shoe
tops. He carried a satchel in his
left hand and a sandwich in the
other.
The boys who had arrived that
morning were eager to play q trick
ON him. We ran down the walk
and met him about halfway. One
Of the boys opened the satchel in
which he carried his clothes. AS
he walked, the clothes we're gently
pulled out of the satchell and dis
tributed for about one hundred feet
along the walk before he noticed
1t. He did not get angry as some
other boys, but considered 1t a good
joke on himself. The boys continu-
ally threw taunts at him about his
clothing and other things, but he
did not mind it.
He made an acquaintance with a
Freshman girl, who was working at
q small bakery near the college to
earn money to pay for her educa-
ton. One night he went away from
the University wearing his best
suit One OF the boys saw him and
quickly spread the news. A small
band was collected and we followed
him. He went to the little bakery
and went In. He soon came out
accompanied by Helen Rosenburgh.
They made their way to the small
confectionery in the next square
and went in. After they were seat.
ed and the clerk had delivered
their orders, Harry Driver, the chief
sQneamer Of the school told us to
follow him. He led the way into
the store and sat down and we fol
lowed as instructed. He told us

1t was in the late fall when l
was travelling about the country
selling a new kind of lock.
The night was coming on and l
began to look for some place to

After we had supper we sat and

tons about my business and soon
we retired.

the fight was to be a hard one.
Nothing happened until thu

the fight was to be a hard one.
Nothing happened until the
third inning, when the visitors
made two runs. They added one in
the sixth and one in the eighth in
ming. We registered one in our
half Of tie eighth, and in the last
half of the ninth, with two outs
and the bases full, Hastings, our
first baseman was at bat. Hastings
had been spiked in the first half OF
the inning and could not walk.
What was to be done? There was
no one to bat for him.
"The manager sent Bob to bat
with no hope of winning. Every
one was downcast and preparing to
leave. With two strikes and three
balls on him, Bob swung at slow
curve that was right where Bob
liked them. The ball was seen
heading for the center-field fence,
but it missed the fence and fell in
the pond on the outside OF the
fence. The hit was good for a
home run and save the game.
Everyone crowded around Bob,
cheering and yelling. Bob, the
waterboy and Bob, the bat boy, was
now known as Bob, the Circuit
Clouter. This lasted for about two
weeks when one Of the boys said
it was just lucky one, and that
he couldn't have done it again in a
year. He was then renamed bat
and water boy. Bob was getting
along in his studies, better than
anyone else and this made the 9th
ers angry at him. They did several
mean tricks to Bob, but he did not
say anything and this soon causes
the boys to leave him alone. He
passed with the highest grade OF
his class. He left school in the
summer and went home to help his
father.
During the summer his parents
died and left him an orphan with
no money. He then came back to
Chicago and went to work for a
German who was in the jewelry
business. He liked this business
very much because he could take
things apart and improve them and
learn how things were made. The
German was very fond of Bob and
showed him several plans OF a part
of an airplane he was improving for
the Kaiser.
This German had no relatives
or any one to inherit the store.
1t was finally sold and the
money given to the Belgium Relief
Fund. Bob, however. found the
plans and he went to work to i'm
prove these. He, after month OF
hard work, practically invented a
new piece and set out to sell 1t to
the army. The army would not
consider 1t because they said that
war would not last long and they
had enough airplanes. He then
went to England, but met with the
same result. He then went to
work in a private airplane factory.
Several months later he went to
parliament and this time he was
successful. Three months later he

he undertook"
