Billy Whiskers By Franc4s Eego Montgomery

Billy and Dick swan over to the plane when it came to the surface so that Billy could put his chin on one of the wings and thus rest h1nnsed- Just this little support would keep him from sinking
 While this was happening to Dick and Billy. Tom and Stubby had also gotten into trouble In making the last turn Tom thought he would give the crowd a good look at Stuooys so he sailed very low, but sudden gust of wind drove him up against tree and tore part of his mouopiane so that he had to land
 This certainly was an unlucky day for several other birdmen, as well as our boys, for another struck a i've electric wire OCT the clubhouse ana was instantly killed These accidents slightly dampened the ardor Of the crowd, but not their wonder or ad- rnirat1on for the dar1ng men Wno LOOK part in it.
 One old lady was heard to say: ssIt is wicked for the law to allow these men to take such chances with their lives, for if they are not killed | today, they will be tom orrow or the next day. How terrible about the man that hit the live wire! And now 1 what a shame it is to have that good l looking boy killed that fell in the | lake!'
 Don't worry, Mother" replied her | son. sI don't think the boy was kill 1 ed. He is probably a good swimmer l and the boats have gone to his rescue. | They are too far out for us to see l what is going on, but he probably will | cling to his biplane until the life | boat gets there, or one of the other l boats. I do hope they are safe!" l While the people were anHously watching these accidents. Dick and Billy, with straining eyes, were watch ing the life-boat and the motor-boats | coming for them.
 I Billy, I could not stand this cold water another minute if it were not for you. Both of my legs have cramps in them and I can't swim a l stroke. You must be frozen, too . Don't try to get up there, Billy, 1t is | dangerous" said Dick, when Billy tried to crawl up on one of the wings | of the bipIane that was floating on the surface of the water in front of them. "You are so heavy that the bip1ane would sink and probably car
 y you down and that would be the
 end of us.''
 Hold oni Hold on just a little I1onger and we will be thereI" called
 out the captain of the motor-boat as
 it came running through the water, In a jiffy they had Dick in the motor
 boat and the life-boat took Billy on
 board. But Dick would not go to
 shore until he saw the Hfe-boat tow - ling his beloved biplane behind it.

Walter Johnson and young Heimach of the Athletics had battled to a score1ess draw for eight innings when Goebel stepped up and broke Heimach's heart with a homer.
