BASEBALL PLAYED IN
ALL PARTS OF WORLD
Chinese Have Developed Remark
able Proficiency.

Baseball is fast spreading to an
four corners of the earth. France,
Germany, Italy, Japan, China, Mexico,
Cuba, Canada, several South American
countries, Australia-these are only q
few of the places which have taken up
the great national pastime of the Unit
ed States.
Strange as it may appear, the
Chinese have developed remarkable
proficiency in baseball, ranking even
better than the Japanese.
During the tour of the big leaguers
in the East last winter some stiff
opposition was encountered in China.
A team of all-Chinese players has
been coming to this country for the
last five years. Their record against
the best college teams is 80 per cent
on the credit side. The first year
only one college nine was able to beat
the Chinese, who won q games out of
%, and that was the crack Notre
Dame aggregation.
"Buck" Lai a Chinese living near
Philadelphia, was member of the
first team to come over He was
offered berth with the Philadelphia
Nationals but was unable to stick.
He played for two years in the East
ern league, however.
Cubans have also shown great apti-
tude for baseball, and there are sew
eral Cuban teams that are almost a
match for any big league team in this
country. Loque, the best major league
pitcher of the year, is a Cuban.
Mexico is becoming quite enthusiast
tic about baseball. In the majority OF
the other countries mentioned, the
pastime is still in the experimental
stage, though slowly winning popu-
larity.
1t Is not at all beyond the range Of
possibility that within five or ten
years world series may mean an
ocean trip for one of the two contend
ing teams.

Edith Wayne was a patrician bru-

immaculate and fastidious. Robert

man, remarkable only for his good ma

in the waiting room, a drunken
cowboy enters, asks II she is
married. and departs, leaving her
terrified. He returns with

sort of ceremony, and the cow
boy forces her to say Isl" Ask
ing her name and learning her
identity the cowboy seems dazed.
In a shooting scrape outside the
room a Mexican is killed. The
cowboy let's a girl, BoniAar take
his horse and escape, then con-
ducts Madeline to Florence Kings-
ley, friend of her brother. Flor
ence welcomes her, learns her
story, and dismisses the cowboy,
Gene Stewart. Next day Alfred
Hammond, Madeline's brother,
takes Stewart to task. Madeline
exonerates him of any wrong in

family, has been dismissed from
his home because of his dissipa-

has redeemed him. She meets

| One morning in June Madeline was
sitting on the porch with her merry
friends when Stillwell appeared on the
| corral path. He had not come to con-
suit Madeline for several days-an
omission SO unusual as to be remarked.
"Here comes Bill-in trouble"
laughed Florence.
Indeed, he bore some faint resem-
blance to a thundercloud as he ap-
preached the porch; but the greetings
he got from Madeline's party, especial
ly from Helen and Dorothy, chased
away the blackness from his face and
brought the wonderful wrinkling smile

moralized old cattleman," he said,
presently. "An' I'm In need of heap
of help"

"Wal, the cowboys have gone plumb
batty, jest plain crazy over this heah
game of gol-lof."
A merry peal Of mirth greeted Still
wells solemn assertion.
"Oh, Stillwell, you are in fun" re-
piled Madeline.
II hope to die IL I'm not in daid
earnest" declared the cattleman. "It's
an amazin' strange fact. Ask Flo.
She'll tell you. She knows cowboys,
an how if they ever start on somethin'
they ride it as they ride hoss."
Florence being appealed to, and evil
IDENTIFY feeling all eyes upon her, mod
estly replied that Stillwell had scarce
~ misstated the situation.
Cowboys play like they work or
fight" she added. "They give their
whole souls to it. They are great big

golf. They have so little play"
oval, sometimes got to be did If
we're to go on raisin cattle at Her
Majesty's Rancho" replied Stillwell.
He appeared both deliberate and re-
signed.
Madeline remembered that despite
Stillwell's simplicity he was as deep
as any of his cowboys, and there was
absolutely no gaging him where posi-
bflities Of fun were concerned Made
line fe-ssied that his exaggerated talk
about the cowboys sudden craze for
golf was in line with certain other re-
markable tales that had lately emanat-
ed from him. Some very strange things
had occurred Of late, and 1t was i'm
possible to tell whether or not they
were accidents, mere coincidents, or
deep-laid, skillfully worked-out designs
of the fun-loving cowboys. Certainly
there had been great fun, and at the
expense of her guests, particularly
Castleton. SO Madeline was at loss
to know what to think about Stillwell's
latest elaboration. From mere force
of habit she sympathized with him and
found difficulty in doubling his appar-
ent sincerity.

Cowboy Golf.

In the whirl of the succeeding days
In was rnooted question whether
Madeline's guests or her cowboys or
herself got the keenest enjoyment out
of the flying time. Considering the
sameness Of the cowboys ordinary
aife, she WIS inclined to think they
made the most of the present. Still
well and Stewart, however, had found
the situation trying. The work of the
ranch had to go on, and some Of 1t got
sadly neglected. Stillwell could not
resist the ladies any more than he
could resist the fun In the extrnor-
binary goings On of the cowboys. Stew
art alone kept the business of cattle
raising from serious setback. Early
and late he was In the saddle, driving

Serious as preacher, mind you, he
was. An he was always practicin'.
When Stewart gave him charge of the
course an the clubhouse an all them
funny sticks, why, Monty was tickled
to death. You see Monty is sensitive

line appointed Castleton to Judge the
play, Dorothy to act as caddie for Ed
Linton, and she herself to be caddie
for Ambrose. While Stillwell beaming-
ly announced this momentous news to
his team and supporters Monty and
Link were striding up.
Both were diminutive in SIZE bow
legged, lame in one foot, and altogeth-
er unprepossessing. Link was young,
and Monty's years, more than twice
Links, had left their mark But it
would have been impossible to tell
Monty's age. He was burned to the
color and hardness of a cinder. He
was dark-faced, staggering, for all the
world like barbarian chief.

said Helen, low-voiced. Really, Mr..
Stillwen. is he so bad-desperate- as
I've heard? Did he ever kill any

"sure. Most as many as Nels," re-
piled Stillwell, cheerfully.
"Oh! And is that nice Mr.. Nels a
desperate, too? / wouldn't have
thought so. He's SO kind and old-fash-
toned and soft-voiced."
"Nels is sure an example Of the
dooplicity Of men. Miss Helen. Don't
you listen to his soft voice. He's real
ly as bad as side-winder rattlesnake."
One of the cowboys came for Castle
ton and led him away to exploit, upon
ground rules.
The game began. At first Madeline
and Dorothy essayed to direct the en-
deavors of their respective players.
But all they said and did only made
their team play the worse. At the
third hole they were far behind and
hopelessly bewildered.
Madeline and her party sat up to
watch the finish of the match. 1t came
with spectacular suddenness. A sharp
yell pealed out, and all the cowboys
turned attentively in Its direction. A
big black horse had surmounted the
rim Of the mesa and was just breaking
into run. His rider yelled sharply
to the cowboys. They wheeled to dash
toward their grazing horses.
That's Stewart. There is some
thing wrong" said Madeline, in alarm.
Castleton stared. The other men ex-
claimed uneasily. The women sought
Madeline's face with anxious eyes.
The black got into his stride and
bore swiftly down upon them.
Madeline divided her emotions be-
tween growing alarm Of some danger
menacing and thrill and quickening
Of pulse-beat that tingled over her
whenever she saw Stewart in violent
action. No action of his was any
longer Insignificant but violent action
meant so much. It might mean any
thing. For one moment she remem-
bered Stillwell and all his talk about
fun, and plots, and tricks to amuse her
guests. Then she discountenanced the
thought. Stewart might lend himself
to little fun, but he cared too much
for q horse to run him at that speed
unless there was imperious need. That
alone sufficed to answer Madeline's
questioning curiosity. And her alarm
mounted to fear not so much for her.
