A Born Salesman.

A small boy was complaining to a
sympathetic neighbor of his fathers
suddenly acquired penuriousness. He
wasn't giving his offspring money for
ice cream and soda water as before
and the latter was greatly stirred over
the change in his parents nature.
"Papa's saving his money, but tell
him It's foolish" he observed.
Saving, eh?" commented the neigh
Dor.
"Yes. Papa says he's saving to buy
q baby, but think I'll be able to talk
him out of it."-American Legion

An artist would think Of It as back

Eaton understood. She could not
more plainly have asked him what he

said, easily, would think of 1t only as
an element to be included In his for

"Or stop competition somewhere"
he observed, more interested.
The flash of satisfaction which came
to her face and as quickly was
checked and faded showed him she
thought she was on the right track.

"You talk" he said, "as II business

"In higher terms?" he questioned,
attempting to make his tone like hers,

spoke; darker, livid flush answered
her words on his.

greater, too" he asserted almost
flercely. "How many Of those men you

with his daughter. Dorne looked up
at him.
"You are the train conductor?' he
asked.
"Yes SIR" Connery replied.
Dorne fumbled in his inner pocket
and brought out card-case, which
he opened, and produced card. Con-
merry, glancing at the card while the
other still held 1t, saw that 1t was
President Jarvis visiting card, with
the presidents name in engraved
block letters; across Its top was writ
ten briefly in Jarvis familiar hand,
"This is the passenger; and below,
1t was signed with the same scrawl
Of initials which had been on the note
Connery had received that morning
"H. r. j."
Connery's hand shook as, while try
ing to recover himself, he took the
card and looked at 1t more closely,
and he felt within him the sinking
sensation which follows an escape
from danger. He saw that his too
ready and too assured assumption
that Eaton was the man to whom Jar
Wis note had referred, had almost led
him into the sort of mistake which Is
objectionable in trusted" man; he
had come within an ace. he realized,
of speaking to Eaton and SO betray-
ing the presence on the train Of u
traveller whose journey his superiors
were trying to keep secret.
You need, Of course, hold the train
no longer" Dorne said to Connery.
Eyes, sir; received word from Mr..
Jarvis about you. Mr.. Dorne. / shall
follow his Instructions fully"
AS he went forward again after the
train was under. way, Connery tried
to recollect how 1t was that he had
been led into such mistake, and de-
Tending himself, he laid 1t all to old
|. Sammy. But old Sammy was not
often mistaken In his identifcations
the train was held, might he be some
one else Of importance7 Now as he
studied Eaton, he could not imagine
what had made him accept this pas
senger as person of great position.
1t was only when he passed Eaton a
third time. half an hour later, when
the train had long left Seattle, that
the half-shaped hazards and guesses
about the passenger suddenly sprang
into form. Allowing for change of
clothes and different way of brush
ing his hair Eaton was exactly the
man whom Warden had expected at
his house and who had come there
and waited while Warden, away in his
car, was killed.
Connery was walking back through
the train, absent-minded in trying to
decide whether he could be at all sure
Of this; and trying to decide what he
should do II he felt sure, when Mr.
Dorne stopped him.
Conductor, do you happen to
know" he questioned, "who the young
man is who took Section Three in the

Connery gasped; but the question
put to him the impossibility of his

Connery replied.
"Is that all you know about himT

FIELDING OF PIPP
WIPES OUT MEMORY
OF HIS BONE PLAY
Errorless Work in Three
Series a Mark for
Fnst-sackers.
BY JOHN Il. FOSTER.

Copyright. by The San Antonio Light.
New York, Oct. 19.-Before the
world series of 1923 has been done
up permanently in moth balls. let us
direct your attention for moment
TO Wallie Pipp, the Yankee first
baseman. Pipp has played through
three successive series-1921, 1922
and 1923-without an error. And
that despite the fact that in the series
Just finished he played on only an
ankle and half.
Pipp's world series record will be
pointed to as shining example for
world series Businessmen for years
to come; all of it, that is, except that
lapse of noodle in the first game this
year when he stood still and permit
ted, the winning run to be extracted
from his slow thir-'.
Schang has caught in three series
with one error. So has Snyder. The
latter made his bobble in 1922 and
Schang smashed n clean record in the
first game this year when he threw
poorly in an effort to nip Ioungs
off first base.
Kelly is another who made his first
error of three series9 in11923. '-yHe
hlChtu DILL limit Hc SnUulu nave SOU
Ward has played second in three
series with three errors. One of the
three. charged against him last sea-
son. never should have been called an
error. Frisch made two errors at
third in 1921 and one each at second
in 1922 and 1923.
Dugan has played two world series.
1922 and 1923, without an error. So
has Groh. Whopping work. that, for
third-basemen.
Ruth made his first error of three
series this year. Emil and Bob. Meu-
sci have gone through three series
apiece without beble.
These games Of 1921. 1922 and 1923
have provided an unusual opportunity
to study the comparative development
of two teams. bringing, as they have
so many of the same players against
each other year after year. And
they show for all the criticism heap
ed on the Yankees and the Yankee
management, the American League
aggregation developed as many good
players over a three-year period as
did the Giants.
The most significant change is in
batting. In 1921 the Giants hit in
the ScEltS LOT .EOJ anu the LINKS
for .20E. In 1922 the Giants hit
300 AID the Yanks a pitiful .203.
This year the Yanks batted .293 and
the Giants .234. Which team has
aged more than the other? There's
your answer.
True, the pitching of the Yankees
was more effective than it had been
in the earlier years, but the fall Of
the Giants was far more deadly to
them than the improvement of the
Yanks.
In 1922 Ruth batted ,11S. In 1923
he batted .36S. Pretty significant.
that of the assertion that MS Ruth
goes so go the Yankees. Had he hit
us again this year is there anyone
who is optimist enough to imagine
that the Yanks would have sailed with
a favOring wind through all of their
voyage against the Giants?

Fishing Good, George
Hunter Says-Ducks
Not so Good.

Capt. George Hunter, game warden
at Medina Lake, wants to tell the
world that good fishermen can find
plenty of good fishing at the lake.
Mr.. Hunter saw something Thurs
day that opened his eyes TO what real
fishermen can do. he reported Frida,
morning. Two fishermen, whose names
he did not learn, were fishing in wa.
ter four feet deep with cane poles
corks and minnows (bOth dead and
alive). They had nearly their limit
and the warden came up to count
their catch.
How about catching you a few?'
they asked.
Hunter aSsented.
In nine minutes by his watch, they
caught &c crappie. The warden swears
that in his 81 years he has never seen
anything TO equal the way the crappie
struck at those minnows.
Bass are rising to white perch and
dowagiacs, the warden reports.
He says this month and next are
the proper ones TO fish successfully
in this part of the country.
Ducks are not coming in TO the
lake as they should, Mr.. Hunter re.

not stayed. Most of those seen were
