The vital Factor.


A studious bystander desires to
know Just what might be termed the
most vital factor in sport.
There are several things TO con-
sider," he writes. But which one Is
supreme? In this connection we
would-not consider the matter Of
courage, which is a basic element
that Is common to the average man,
and not, as many seem to think. the
gift of only a few.
The late war, in a test of fifty mil
lion men from twenty odd nations,
proved this statement.
Aside from this. we would say the
vital factor in sport was speed.
BY which We Mean
By speed we do not mean alone
1eetnes of foot. 1t is the speed of
Babe Ruth's bat at the moment of
impact which is largely responsible
for the tremendous distance that he
gets.
1t is~ the speed of Johnson's fast
enc s<i1 Alexander's curve ball that
featured their success.
1t has been the speed of Ty Cobb's
brain as we'll as his speed of foot
that lifted him to the top.
A man who Is without speed Of
foot or arm might get by, but not
unless he had an abnormal amount
of brain speed.
Such bal players as Cobb, Evers

the Yanks and Red Sox on the road.
But in the National Brooklyn re-
mains the lone Eastern contender
with the West featuring three
powerful clubs in the Cubs, Reds
and Pirates. This race is develop
ing fuzz every passing day and may
most sensational since 1908. when
Pirates, Giants and Cubs were only
a game apart up OF the final hour.
But the time is rapidly approach
ing when one or more will begin
to breathe heavily, as the heat and
the strain get in the deadly mid
summer scissors" and SIecherize
the weaker cnes.
From Babe RUth's first thirty
hits, nineteen were for extra base
hits, and he turned in more home
runs than triples and doubles COM
bined.
Another odd feature from the first
thirty Is that he struck eff as many
homa runs as he did sinGles-eleven
each.
Which is another record. If you
care to carry out the chart.
Groh. Roush and Robertson have
been among the first five hiters
in the H. l. most OF the season.
And once they were all Giants.
With the accent on the "once."

"a Tale of the FlatWoods

stockings lay upon the rock beside half
an armful Of wild roses.
A twig tipped back into place as the
Pearlhunter strained his face little
closer. The song stopped; the girl
whirled her eyes toward the swaying
twig. The man f1attened and held his
breath.
But the woodland song was done
She slid back on the rock and reached
for her stockings and shoes. Such
feet! The rough shoes she picked up
dishonored them. It would be giving
the Pearlhunter uncertain praise to
say he didn't look. Besides, it wouldn't
be true. He did look. It is but simple
justice to him to state, also, that after
the one glance-a glance he could no
more help than the branch could help
fiowing-he dragged his eyes away
and held them away till he heard the
girl scramble to her feet on the rock.
AS she gathered up her armload OF
wild roses he had leisure to observe
her.

face, it was hard to tell the one from
the other-the flowers from the face ;
Mhere the roses left off and the face
began. Her hair hung loose, soft and
wavy-the kind Of hair rogufsh shaft
of morning sun can change to spun
gold; lips like the song moment ago
upon them; eyes like the little patch
Of sky at the bottom of the pools
eyes that opened wide; that had moth
ing to conceal.
She was turning to spring to the
bank when the Pearlhunter rose and
quietly stepped through the bushes.
She whirled: and the two stood star
ing at each other across the pool. The
flowers struggled from her arms and
dringled down upon the rocks.
The Pearlhunter's eyes were the
first to fall. Dragging off his battered
hat, half awkwardly, he bowed his
head and strove for word to justify
his intrusion. But he was slow of
speech. Words came hard to him.
After time, his eyes travelled back
across the pool; past the patch OF sky
at the bottom up the side of the rock
where her feet had dangled.
The rock was bare; The girl had
gone.

CHAPTER II.
The Red Mask.


Amazed at the Woodcraft that had
enabled the girl to disappear under
his very eyes, without SO much as the
culver of leaf, the Pearlhunter
crossed the branch on the rifle at the
lower edge Of the pool, by springing
from stone to stone, and went up to
the rock. There lay the flowers in
scattered confusion-a tumbled mass
Of refreshing color; the half an arm
full of pink and white and red wild
roses. He picked up three-a pink
a red; a white-and stood gazing
down upon them. The true woods
man is instinctively a gentleman. He
did not know-he did not try to know
that the girl watched his every
move from behind big oak few
yards up the bank.
''Like her-somehow," he muttered.
"Wild Rose 1t might be her name.
A name! I wonder what it's like to
have a Manner
A thought Swallowed his face-the
old thought that always brought the
cloud. His eyes narrowed; the lines
Of his mouth drew tense. Drawing
the stems of the three roses through
a buttonhele in his blouse, he strobe
away down the branch back to Fallen
Rock.
The languid eyes Of the Iron-Gray-
Woman turned toward him as he

There came a scream from the
Iron Gray-Woma She had risen
from her chair. The Pearlhunter
dared not look, but he saw the eyes Of
the man he faced turning irresistibly
toward the sound. With the first
glance q startling change came over
him; his eyes strained; stared; his
hand left his hip and went to his face.
He Strengthened and shrank back
against the cabin door. The Pearl

Her body stiffened; her arm grew
rigid. Like man compelled to re-

and backed away.
The Pearlhunter followed him,
trailed him up the bluffs, through the
woods and out to the river road,
where it came down from the north,
right angled east and led away up the
river to the village.
When he hurried back his mother
was again in her chair, the imperious

BIRDS HAVE VARIOUS NAMES
Get coonomens From Habits or Plu,
mage Though Not lnfrequentIy
From Song or Call.


Birds are given various names In
various parts of the country; some
get these names from their habits,
others from their plumage, while the
song, or call, in other cases is respon-
sible for the nickname Of the bird. ac-
cording to London Answers.
The cuckoo has two mates. The
meadow pippit is known as the cue
koo's mate in some parts Of the coun-
try, because of its habit of always ac-
companying the cuckoo from place to
place throughout its stay in this coun-
try. The wryneck gets the same name
for, a different reason. 1t arrives In
the country about the same time. or a
few days earlier than the cuckoo, and
therefore the name has been given it.
Little Observation-Disclosures" is per-
haps rather a mouthful, but the name
is given to the yellow bunting on ac-
count of the fact that it's simple song
resembles these words more than any
thing else In the world.
"Yaff1e" is the name given to that
laughing bird Of the woods, the green
woodpecker, also known by the less
cheerful cogncmen of rain bird, be-
cause whenever it laughs the glass
goes back and the rain comes down.
In other words, the laugh OF the green
woodpecker, like the 'hee-haw" of the
donkey, is considered by many to be
a sure sign Of wet weather.
The whitethroat has a habit Of
creeping along the lower parts of the
hedges, where the nettles grow, and
therefore it has acquired for itself the
name of "nettle creeper."
