Great. gosh" groaned Jim, "and l
had breakfast with him; Great gosh!
. Yes, les pretty tough" added the
,Wlehed PeEspn. "and the Dpc wanted
to Jknowtif Stanley had been mingling
much with the boys. and which OF
the boys they were"
"Great gosh, did you tell him II
was me?" stammered Jim. ..f.

hut the tip is out to stay away
from Harris or wen all be quarah-

"Ouarantined, eh?" And have all
, them doctors practicing on you!
! Great gosh-and had breakfast win
him, too. Does the doctor, know t!'
"Can't say how much he knows
stanley may have told him, y'know,
fbut / know l didn't. I wouldn't give
you away like that. It's bad' enough
to catch the mumps." -
SHAW IS HORRIF1ED.
"Gee. is mumps catching?' asked
the horrified shaw.
"Sure. II you get right up close
to them" was the reply.
Great gosh" mumbled Jim, and he
took 1t on the hot foot.
From then till he left Chicago Jim
led a miserable life. He dared not
hang around the hotel lest the saw
bones should see him and clap him
into quarantine. His $3.50 would not
let him EoS tar. There, he was, the

Your Know. said Jim. "if that doc
tor wants to quarantine me, I'll just
, hop a train for Pittsburgh and leave
| him flat I've heard about them quar-
antines. That's where they practice
on you to see what's the matter with
you. And, IL there amt nothing the
matter, they are liable to give you
some disease and then practice on
you. It's in them quarantines where
they do all the funny business.
know all about IT. Doc Ayers put me
wise when he was with this club.
DOC AYERS TOLD HIM.
'Doc told me about a man once
( that was in a quarantine. He was all
, right, see. when he went in. But in
just three days he had typhoid. Think
, of that? In three days they gave him
typhoid -. He died. too. and was never
able to kick to tho cops. Doc didn't
think he was telling any doctor secret
at the time but I stuck. it away in my
noodle and here it is- They amt
going to put me in any quarantine"
Jim made himself pretty scarce
around that hotel till the end of the
stay. He was one OF the first at the
La Sale street station on his way to
Cleveland.
When Mike Martin plastered Harris
throat with fish oil Jim was not
among those present. When Stanley
roamed Though the car, his head
swathed in a neat bandage. Jim hid
behind the curtain of his berth Jim
was taking no chances Of getting
either mumps or quarantine.
But now Jim is happy again. He's
ready to go into a game for an in
ming or two any time. All Grif has
to do is say=sthe word. Stanley Har-
ris has gone.
WILL VISIT DENTIST.
Harris will visit a dentist in WASH
ington in the hopes OF locating his
trouble. A physician here is inclined
to believe that his swollen gland is
the result of an liberated tooth Any
way, a Washington dentist will make
an investigation and Harris may be in
shape to play when the Griffs return
home.
The illness OF Harris has been a
hard blow to the ball club, for he is
the main cog in the infield. He takes
most OF the throws to second. base and
acts as a sort of leader among the in
fielders. Shannon does not begin to
fll Harris shoes, though playing in
good form.
